You're hilarious thinking that the general public gives great value to keyboard players in rock bands.

One of the very first Rock Songs was written and played on the piano (Little Richard - Tutti Frutti).

Not sure, how Slash would think about it, because in his mind he's not needed and only there because Axl insisted on it, but for the public, for sure. Because then he would have been there from the beginning, as far as the public is concerned. But then again, who gives a shit about the keyboard player in a rock band? 

Right. No one gives a shit about Richard Wright, Tony Banks and others.

Hilarious.

Maybe he was just misrepresented. Maybe Duff meant in around a weeks time. Perhaps it could be next week at the beginning of the week?

We are all looking for straws, man.

She wasn't, hasn't been or ever was a GNR employee, she's freelance...did the Stones tour pics too in 2018

I always thought that she was on Axl's/TB's payroll

Maybe that is why Axl AND Slash were together in a studio

Axl on a SMKC album?

Ugh.  No more covers. 

Well, they reached that point in 1993/1994. Cover Songs are a Part of their Identity. From the very first (Sweet Emotion with Tracii) to the most recent.

I don’t hear bucket on absurd. If you’re talking about the killswitch intro, I’m pretty sure that’s a synth done by Melissa (previously Pitman).

They kept him on CD. Sorry for not being clear about that.

It makes sense that they (Axl) wouldn't leave Pitman's parts on the track after everything that happened.

They kept Bucket and I would say that there was a lot more bad blood between Axl and him.

Or maybe Brain's track was so heavily processed (in order to fit the new version) that it ended being something completely different.

They did the same with Brian May's guitar solo on Catcher before they deleted it.

According to Melissa's website, it's her (and Brain on drums on both tracks):

It could be the three of them. Dizzy and Pitman on synths and Mel does all the additional programming.

Just now, rocknroll41 said:

Wasnt there a press statement confirming that she redid all of Pitman’s parts on HS and Absurd?

I always thought that it was Pitman on those tracks

What do we think of credits for perhaps

 

Piano- Axl (or Dizzy?)

Guitars - Fortus and Slash. Slash solo

Bass - Duff

Keys - dizzy/Melissa

Drums- Frank?

Vocals - Axl

Guitars - Slash & Richard

Bass - Duff

Keys - Dizzy & Chris

Drums - Brain 

I don't think that Mel will be on any of the CD leftovers. I mean, they left Pitman's synths on Absurd as well.

Very quiet in here, watch them bust out Perhaps now while none of us are paying any attention 😅

I wonder how many Fans were aware of the new songs at the HOB show back in 2001

Na, given they're been on tour for so long, they should start with Back n' Black. Really mix things up lol

Not even as good as Ashba’s. I’ll say it.

Richard should handle most of the CD solos.

Robin joining the band to play his CD material would be interesting as well.

Setlist FM says NR and Prostitute included Vigo Modern Orchestra members?? Any information on that?

This information was deleted

I still doubt it's Melissa on the track. It's such a minimal key part, surely it'd be Dizzys part, why would they replace him with Melissa just to some one note keyboard lines?

They kept Dizzys and Pitmans tracks on Absurd and Hard Skool

Guns covered Sweet Emotion?! 

Yup, they covered that one with Tracii

They used the same setlist as the Tracii Guns line-up with the exception of Sweet Emotion from Aerosmith instead of Mama Kin (Source: Raz Cue)
