Duff27 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I met her in 2012 after Alice Cooper gig in Cardiff. The entire band went to the rock club Fuel and i met them in there. Gotta say, she's really down to earth and really quite talaented. Better than some "guitarists" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Who Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Why is this still a rumor when she herself kind of mocked the idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomfriend Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Every musician has to know what they are getting themselves into, joining this charade. On the plus side, you will see a lot of Brazil and make some easy money. On the negative side, you will be playing other guy's material while doing it. Forget about, this band releasing a new album. You will also be working for those imbeciles, Team Brazil, who will fuck you over with your solo tours. That's the rub, isn't it?Become Axl's employee and be ensured of a solid paycheck (when the tours actually happen).The catch is that you'll be a cover musician. You won't get to play original material or anything you yourself wrote. You will be playing other musicians' material, always.And so, you end up with bottom of the barrel garbage like DJ, Ron, and Fortrus, people who have zero creative talent of their own.I could see someone doing this for a few years to save some money and then bailing, to be honest...and I wouldn't blame them at all. Axl and TB have set up this situation; others are going to take advantage.As for playing others' music, that's how most professional musicians roll...if you're in a symphony orchestra or play for a Broadway show or work as a touring guitarist, you play someone else's music. There's no shame in making a living.Yeah, you gotta figure that to an up and coming guitarist, standing next to Axl fucking Rose on stage rocking out would seem pretty cool, covers or not. On the flip side to that, that gold will only glitter for so long...She's already played with Michael Jackson and Alice Cooper, I'd hardly describe that as an 'up and coming guitarist'.

True, but all the while playing someone else's music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabrph5 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 "true, but all while playing others peoples music"? HELLO!!!!!, what does nu gnr do? I have seen her with Alice, and true she does need to play the songs, but she puts her own spins on the solos, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 http://instagram.com/susanholmesmckagan/ - picture with Orianthi and Sambora... Susan's official twitter has the same pic plus some other retweets.. https://twitter.com/suholmesmckaganNot exactly earth shattering proof but looks like she is at least in the GNR circle these days. Maybe Sambora is heading to Guns and not Orianthi! Or maybe not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
