Just watched a video of Wasted Years they posted on FB and man, it's amazing how these guys still got it. And Bruce screwing with Adrian's mic was really funny, it's really hard to dislike these fellas.

I rarely listen to IM nowaydas but they were my first contact with heavy metal and I'll always love them.

Well, this is how "old" band with "old" singer should sound . . .

I swear i better not hear many complaints about this show...it was truly a great show and i can't wait for Aus. Thanks for the chat, everyone.

I'm now listening Face live (from begining) and seems solid one.

So much for musical cues. I just got reprimanded for playing #Godzilla by the @BlueOysterCult on my iPhone on the bullet train.

I'm eating waffles on the bullet train.

I'm glad i'm usually ignoring that Twitter section of page...

Worldwide - I think GNR - it's long waited semi reunion.

But if I had to choose - Metallica would befirst choice.

And as i read today - U2 with their nostalgia tour could kill with numbers in Europe...

Iron Maiden continue The Book of Souls World Tour with a return to North America for an extensive run of shows in the summer.

Each band member has his or her role in the band. Some are more prominent and more important than others, but that doesn't make Mellisa a part time band member or not a real band member. She replaced Pitman who wrote material on Chinese, and Axl likes to incorporate everyone. Live she sings and plays Pitman parts, playing her instrument. Yes it's synths and backing vocals, but every element is important, especially when you take into consideration Axl hired her for a reason: doing Chinese tunes live, and going forward, if he released more Guns music, it's likely to include orchestration/synths and my guess is Mellisa is going to be a part of that.

How Dizzy chooses to define it is not relevant. She is a full time band member whether you like it or not. What Axl said 25 years ago in a RIP magazine interview when there was no synth player in the band is also not relevant.

She's not like Teddy Zig Zag or Tracy and Roberta. She's Gn'R's synth player. Full time member.

OK - but for me (and many it seems) her role looks exactly as Teddy ZigZags. I surely can't see difference...

Just now, Rovim said:

Please explain to me why you think Mellisa is not a full band member. What makes her less than a full band member? in your opinion.

I'm not saying she isn't - I'm just wandering why she is. What she does exactly to be full member of Guns n Roses? Frank plays drums, Richard plays guitar, Dizzy plays keys/piano, Duff is on bass, Slash is on guitar, Axl is vocal.

What's role of Melissa and her keyboards on stage (beside 3 CD songs).

I don't have anything against her - just as I don't have anything against any of "substitutes" after Adler's departure (ok DJ Ashba is clown)...

Just now, Rovim said:

What do you mean not a band member? she is a band member, full band member. I'm sure she'll be a part of a next Guns album if that ever gets released. Pitman was a band member as well, has a song credit and played on every track on Chinese. Live he played his synth parts and got drunk with silly dances on stage. Jumping is just her way to express herself live. Yes she can.

YEP - as I said -  Michael Kenney  isn't full band member of Iron Maiden - and Pit/Melissa was/is in GNR.

Wish this session hack would just shut up and leave so that these sellouts (sluff and the redhead) would have no choice but to bring back Izzy. You know, maybe they could actually be a real fucking band again instead of the hasbeen show wringing every last dollar from fans before being tossed into the rubbish heap of nostalgia.

 

I think that there are many session guitar players in the world who would likely fill the role . . .

13 minutes ago, Rovim said:

Synths and backing vocals. She's a Pitman replacement. To do Chinese material faithfully she is needed, and she's a proper singer. Much better than backing tracks or other members attempting to do backing vocals. (they can't really do it and don't have the vocal range for it)

 

Yes - but in normal bands - people like Melissa aren't band members - just touring musicians -  Michael Kenney  isn't Iron Maiden member - but he is on records and on/behind the stage.

I don't mind her because she isn't messing with songs - just her role (just like Pitmans brfore) is undefined for me. I know what Frank does, I know what Dizzy does, I know what Fortus does - but her role can't be jumping + Better intro + back vocals as band member - or can it?
