MANETS.FOREVER Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Guns N' Roses keyboardist Chris Pitman, was the big star of a dinner offered by the businessman Ricardo Rique (52) to 150 people in his apartement at the Vieira Souto Avenue, Ipanema, one of the most elegant addresses in Rio. The musician, married to the brazilian producer Ana Pitman, is more and more envolved with projects in Brazil. "Besides musician, I'm also an artist. I'm preparing myself to a exposition on a gallery on Ipanema. The organization is advanced, on post-production phase", told the rocker. 'Ana is my biggest inspiration. We met 10 years ago at Rock in Rio, and we've been together since then. Seven years ago we got married. All I can say is that music took me to amazing places and amazing people".The musician is also responsible for the Central Bank Heist film soundtrack, first film directed by Marcos Paulo (60), planned to be released on July. "Rock is my area, and all I can say is that Guns N' Roses is amazing on our film", said Marcos.SourceAs for the film, it's based on a true story, one of the world's largest burglaries, along with the 1987 Knightsbridge Security Deposit robbery in London:On the weekend of August 6, 2005 and August 7, 2005 a gang of burglars tunneled into the Banco Central in Fortaleza. They removed five containers of 50-real notes, with an estimated value of R$164,755,150 (as on December, 2009 US$94.3 million) and weighing about 3.5 tons. The money was uninsured; a bank spokeswoman stated that the risks were too small to justify the insurance premiums. The burglars managed to evade or disable the bank's internal alarms and sensors; the burglary remained undiscovered until the bank opened for business on the morning of Monday, August 8, 2005.The Banco Central is a national banking institution charged with control of the money supply. The money in the vault was being examined to see if it should be recirculated or destroyed. The bills were not numbered sequentially, making them almost impossible to trace.Three months earlier, the gang of burglars had rented an empty property in the centre of the city and then tunneled 78 meters (256 ft) beneath two city blocks to a position beneath the bank. The gang had renovated a house and put up a sign indicating it was a landscaping company selling both natural and artificial grass as well as plants. Neighbours, who estimated that the gang consisted of between six and ten men, described how they had seen van-loads of soil being removed daily, but understood this to be a normal activity of the business. The tunnel, being roughly 70 cm (2.3 ft) square and running 4 meters (13 ft) beneath the surface, was well-constructed: it was lined with wood and plastic and had its own lighting and air conditioning systems.On the final weekend, the gang broke through 1.1 meters (3.6 ft) of steel-reinforced concrete to enter the bank vault. The bank notes weighed approximately 3,500 kg (approx. 7,700 lbs) and would have required a considerable amount of time and effort to remove.Source + More Info Edited May 28, 2011 by MANETS.FOREVER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Chris Pitman and has done that from the start!Pitman, Dizzy and Stinson is the people still hanging on since the rebirth of GNR in 2001! [i won´t count Fortus in here, even if he is good at what he´s doing, he is just a sessions musician now on tour with Thin Lizzy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
