dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Talented woman! It has to be awesome playing along side GNR. She is one lucky lady. I thought she looked awesome on stage with the guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delilahrose Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I have nothing against her personally and I don't think a lot of the fans "hate" her. She is talented but a rock icon she is NOT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorderlineCrazy Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 She might be a rock icon in some parallel universe... I have nothing against her (in fact I love her voice and enjoy her positive attitude) but she's clearly not an icon, it's not even up to discussion. Most people going to the shows have no idea who she is or what she does outside GNR. Also, I think she's very talented but as she said a while ago, rock is not really her thing so.... ROCK ICON? Beyond absurd That being said, I don't think there's anyone in the entire world who could bring more to the band than she does because the 2nd keyboard player role in GNR is the most stupid and unnecessary role ever. At least she's a great singer and removed all those incredibly disgusting noises Pitman was adding, ruining some of the greatest rock songs ever written. There shouldn't be a 2nd keyboard player (I'm not even sure why there's one except for 4-5 obvious songs) but Melissa is a massive improvement over that asshole who was there before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 They should add a meet and greet with her to the VIP tour packages. I can see it now: - Front row ticket - Tour lithograph - Early entry for crowd-free shopping - Meet and greet with rock icon Melissa Reese 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RONIN Posted May 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2017 To be fair, I think Dizzy Reed is more deserving of this attention than Melissa. Atleast Dizzy has been featured on a few GnR albums and has earned his stripes. The guy has survived on free beer and change stuck in Axl's sofa for the last 30 years. Can we give him an article please? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killuridols Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Is it @ArtTavana who wrote this article? Maybe he could explain to all of us why did he exaggerate that title?

So Axl wrote all the piano parts of Estranged? I've attributed that to Dizzy all these years. I always wondered if he wrote his own parts for these songs or if Axl micro-managed the entire affair and told Dizzy what to play a la Sorum.

If i remember on the Making Estranged video Dizzy even said he had to bring cheat sheet on first few UYI tour concert because he barely can play it. As far i know Axl always play his own piano part on Stephanie ballad like NR, Estranged, TIL and personal song like 14 Years, Breakdown, or Yesterday by himself. Dizzy simply didn't play that on album, or just play organ/keyboard part if it's present instead, just not the piano part. Dizzy play piano on tunes like CW, PTU, KOHD, Locomotive, and majority of CD's song though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) The rock icon thing is just the interviewer kissing ass. It's common in the industry, but it's not on Mellisa. I really like her vocals and she really doesn't get in the way of the music imo. Iconic interview. Edited May 4, 2017 by Rovim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl wrote and played piano on Estranged, NR, and Breakdown. The only piano song that Dizzy has going for him as far as song writing goes is Street of Dreams (and the only other song on CD that he plays piano on is If The World).

Fanboy Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 So, thats how looks a rock icon in 2017, kinda depressing if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God of Thunder Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 For sure she can`t do anything about how that article was written. She seems like a nice person with a good voice who is living her dream; also someone doing her job is needed for the CD songs and possibly any new ones to come. And as opposed to band members such as former band members such as Buckehead or Robin Finck she actually looks rather normal with her blue hair I am curious what 50 songs she was mastering in the studio? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
