If I had to pick between one or the other I'd obviously pick Izzy being in but I suppose Pitman being out will do lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modano09 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 He spent 20 years in a band under the promise and impression that it would eventually be a real band and actually make and release music. At the very least I have more sympathy for him than the junkie drummer everyone seems to love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel bad for Chris wasting 20 years of his life on songs that never got released. Sure, it sucks for him as well as the fans who would love to hear all of Axl's unreleased music, but if he didn't like it he could have left. We saw that with Finck and more recently Bumblefoot and DJ. I could see sticking it out for so long under the false impression, but surely by the Vegas gigs he realized new music wasn't happening anytime soon. Bitterness is also no excuse for his ego and how he acts like he is/was an integral part of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stella Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) He was with the band for twenty years. In that time they only released one album. It took over a decade to get that one album to the public. There hadn't been any movement toward another album or new music for quite some time. The writing was really on the wall, and if anyone was sticking around Guns N' Roses because they wanted to release new music, it was a pretty futile and naive endeavor. Everyone else seemed to realize that pretty quickly and went off and did their own thing. Pitman's hissy fit really seems like sour grapes. I can understand that he feels hurt, but from what we've heard here, everyone pretty much knew after the 2014 Vegas gigs that everything was over with NuGnR and went to work on their own projects. I doubt that Axl ever told this guy that he was committing to employ him for life or anything. Pitman was paid for the work he did, and then the job ended. Happens to everyone.

Popular Post Bono Posted February 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2016 He's a total loser. He was all amped up for it when he thought he was involve dbut now that it looks like he's not he feels it's a nostalgia money grab tour? Liek Chris Fucking Pitman legitimizes the whole thing? What a fucking clown. He's the least important and most useless member in GnR history yet has this attitude that he IS GnR. The guy is a douche and they are better off without him. Not only from his itman is GnR attitude but he's comletely useless and lessens the credibility of the whole thing with his involvement. Good riddence. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The problem here is Christopher is that no one gives a monkeys for the opinion of a paunchy be-moobed keyboard player whoose speciality is making decent rock songs sound like something out of sodding Star Wars.

GNRmello77 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Is there ever a band member considered as useless or being seen as Just a guy up the stage... As Chris pitman by it's own fan base? Lol that must be a unique situation for a musician as well after being so long in the band quite an achievement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pretty much sums it up. When it was first rumored, he tweeted that he was excited for the upcoming tour. His tweet was soon deleted (probably told by management to take it down). Came out a few days later and denied the reunion. A few weeks went by and I'm guessing the band probably came to an agreement with Dizzy Reed in that time....Pitman is out.....then we get this from Pitman. Pretty self explanatory.

It's gonna mislead people and honestly as long as axl slash and duff see a need for pitman then pitman ain't going nowhere. I'm not saying I necessarily want him there again, if he announces tomorrow that he's out I'm sure we'll all get over it but I just don't expect it. He's not in the way of anything and he doesn't hurt the band, plus there's UYI material and they always had two keyboard players during that so, pitman may be just fine And still he's not needed. They did fine without keyboards prior to UYI and they also did fine on the Skins and Bones tour, which only had Dizzy, if I remember correctly.

yoshimura Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) The worst part was that interview with Freeload Pitman in which he said they don't have to release an album because it's not lucrative. Whatever happened to artistic pursuits? The GnR machine is rolling around in cash; they should release new music without any major financial incentives. You know, like most musicians?

Popular Post T-Minus Posted February 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) I'd love to check to see if this alleged update was on his social media but the butthurt twat blocked me a long time ago. Possibly the only person I have hated more than or at least equal to Ashba. Completely up his own pompous, sub-triangle, sub tambourine, ass fluting, towel waving arse. Arrogant tosser, overrated hack. He is completely useless and the only thing he did was make the band more camp with his gay ass outfits and stupid fucking "hey look at me i'm a bendy keyboard playing rockstar!!!!" attitude. I hope this is true. I'd be almost as happy to see this dick wad out as I would Izzy in. Good bastard riddance.
