If anyone else in the band did that, I would call them out on that too. But please, keep telling me how me not liking what Melissa brings to the band makes me a sexist, and how I fail to see the great vision of what she’ll bring to the table of a bunch of aging old rockers. Bring back Tracy and Roberta I say. At least they were rock n roll attitude and served a purpose... You keep missing the point mate! The problem with your first post isn't that you said you dislike her musical contribution. That's an opinion you're entitled to. It's when you bring looks/gender/sexuality into it that people pretty quickly lose interest in your opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy is just there like he has been forever. Maybe someday Axl will give him a solo at a concert so he can show off what he really does.

Apollo Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I don’t care who is in the band as long as Axl is on vocals. I just wish some incarnation of GnR would release new music. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 the most interesting replacement for Pitman is Mellisa. in the spirit of rock n' roll. She's also a seasoned musician and a fine singer and she composes as well. didn't think she took anything away from the show or the sound of the band either. when she first joined the band the vast majority of fans here accepted her if I remember correctly. I hope she gets to write at least 1 tune like Pitman did. it's gonna be hard to top If The World. Also, especially for the Chinese tunes live and what Axl will maybe do in the future, a synth player was needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nikothebellic Posted December 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2018 There are so many bias opinions about Melissa's social media. I've been following several GNR accounts for over a year and can assure that her's is quite "okay". For sure, there's nothing special, particulary for an old-fashioned people (as myself, for example), but other band's members and stuff accounts is not pretty far in terms of decentness: Meegan posts just everything all along with some kinky ideas and everytime glamorizing Slash with hashtags and photos, all-punk Duff has a dozens of cute family photos, Fernando is all about food and posh life and I'm not even talking about Slash's account, lol. I'm not bithcing anybody at all - it's okay, it's a modern social media life style. But the thing is, that everybody has where to carp to. And it's not fair to get more attention to a new band member, just because she's not from their world entierly. Actually, Melissa's posts appear with the least frequency and the most of the time used for sharing gratitude and respect for the band. And the others are mostly about her personal news, recordings and media publications. So, it's the stuff which basically you can find at almost everyone's social media account. I don't know about the years ago, but in recent times her posts're not annoying at all. For her part in band's live performances I can't say much as I'm not a pro in terms of sound management, but I know 2 things. First: the band sounds at its best since 1993, as it completely avoids this "punk-undeground" notes that it had 2001-2014. It's a pure rock/glam whatever. For sure, it's mostly Slash and Duff's merit, but as Melissa is a part of it, probably she's also doing some good job. Such a perfectionist as Axl wouldn't allow it another way. Second: her backing vocals are amazing. That what we missed since 90's also. And actually on many songs: Better, Live and Let Die, Civil War, November Rain, Paradise City etc... Almost at everyone basically. Somewhere more, somehwere less. And if we gonna run into her stage style and precense, then let's start a topic where we're gonna scold backing vocals from UYI tour - as they looked too pop in their tricot and needed to be in Erin Everly's look from It's So Easy. And who doesn't like her stage movembents... WTF? If Slash, Axl and others can run from one side to another, why couldn't she permorm at her little perimeter? That's completely bias. Al in all, I could understand if she was fat, ugly or something, hired just for sjw-fans, but at this case, come on! If you can't stand a hot girl in tights in a rock band at 21st century, who does her job pretty good.... well, either you have some personal issues or you... bias. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
