Popular Post EvH Posted September 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Can I sue Pitman too? I'd argue his way of soloing his towel was a crime against humanity. Edited September 13, 2016 by EvH 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliette Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Is Pitman an Engineer? Very strange this demand. He waited 4 years to sue him? Didn´t he work with Axl until a couple of months ago? For me, he request for attention,maybe he wants to come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxpax Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) So...pitman earned 163k in 2011? Did Axl really have financial problems back then? Its not the first time I read about it, but it sounds weird, cause he never went nuts with his money...except the 14 mio $ for CD (which makes the album even more bad) Edited September 13, 2016 by maxpax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should (including Axl) sue the TB haha. TMZ comments are so digusting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 So why the hell did it continue showing up with his Towel to the shows then when he was not even paid in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpax Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I call it a dirty lie... Axl treated Pitman (and his old employees) always with respect. Edited September 13, 2016 by maxpax 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Modano09 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2016 I defend Axl on basically everything but if the guy wasn't paid, he wasn't paid, it doesn't matter if you think he's a tool or not. I know people will just say he's being spiteful but if he was on good terms with Axl and in the band he'd be more likely to let the money slide and keep on waiting for it than he would be now that he's been turfed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the first time I've heard that band members weren't getting paid during that time anyway. He probably tried to keep it out of court until it looked like he had no choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 $163k...you could buy a whole lotta silkworms with that! Sucks to see him take this route but it doesn't surprise me. His social media meltdown earlier this year showed he wasn't in the best state of mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree on that one. If you have a job and you do that job and you were promised a certain amount of money, then it's your right to get that certain amount of money. Still when it comes to that much money... why the hell would you wait nearly half a decade before you take action even if you're on good terms with whoever owes you? You know?

Mayroses Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 If he wants to come back, I think that processes Axl isn't the best strategy. But it serves to call attention to himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 They'll settle, Axl doesn't have time for this bs, he's too busy for this POS. But if it was an oversight in pay then get him his money and be done with him. Again Axl is doing too well this year to get caught up in this.

Słash Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Maybe he was at Axl's house last year to ask for the payment. Axl would have gone like "Nahhhh, later, Mow the lawn first!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quickest way through whatever trouble this might kick up is exactly that; someone needs to pay Pitman and just release a statement saying it was an oversight.
