But the more I hear about him. He just might not have any class. Why on earth would he resign? He makes massive amounts of money to do nothing but kiss Axl's ass and be a good little lapdog. Pittsman would make $3 a year from his own music, otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than "If The World" and "Madagascar"? Okay then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a total douche, especially in that interview he gave where he had his arm round the girl interviewing him and he came across as the biggest gimp ever. Thought he was rock n roll and was about as bad ass as mr bean. "why doesn't music sell? Because of a little thing called the Internet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyaway Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Internet is something that will not disappear in this life time and is constantly developing, so the music industry have to learn how to adapt and live with it. Constant complains about shared music will not help them a lot. They really don't have any other choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it is a reunion between Axl and Slash, but since that is the extent of the reunion, does it matter who else plays? to old folks like myself who were around in the beginning it does just can't support this 'reunion' if it doesn't feature the original 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF Izzy and Steven was coming back, too, then it would be a major distraction to have Chris playing tambourine in the background. It would ruin a pure reunion. But as it is, with a hybrid lineup, I see no problem having Chris there, especially if they intend to play CD songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy can apparently do whatever he wants and since fortus is good and looks like Izzy he can get away with murder. Frank just gets shit on because some people just are hell bent on nostalgia combined with the fact that he joined GNR when things were ran solely by axl. I can get people seeing pitman wave a towel and smile like a jackass during patience and have a problem with that Edited March 1, 2016 by Billsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to like it but I can see how anyone else might hate it. That's a great point about Madagascar as well. I was only throwing it out there because I always hear Pitmans name closely associated with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Madagascar, the only quote I remember was that he kept switching synth instruments while Axl was playing the chord progression until he landed on the French horn that Axl liked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the CD booklet handy, but I always thought he was credited on those. I know people commonly associate him with them so that's why I used it as an example.

gunsfanoldie Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 So is he out? I haven't been on much in the last few days so I don't know if this is a speculation thing like the Izzy twitter thread for a while or this is basically confirmed at this point. Last I followed this saga he had just badmouthed GNR but that that might have been a fake account so it didn't actually mean anything. I don't actually care one way or the other. He provides nothing in my view. But up until now I thought he was a given to be in and this thread still exists so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was his saving grace for me Axl came up with the chrd progression, Chris fiddled with some knobs: Chris: I was up at [Axl's] house for about a week or two, and I was setting up rack mounted samplers, and you had your fake orchestra with synthesizers. One would be the strings, one would be the brass, and I was setting that up for him, and I was going "now this module here, we’re going to us this for brass instruments and here you have horns…", and he was playing while I was switching the sounds, and I switched the sounds to French horn sound and he was playing this chord progression and I went to another sound, and he goes "oh no, go back to that one". We went back and it was the French horn sound and he kept playing this progression and it sounded really cool and I turned around and turned on the tape machine and that ended up being the very intro for the song 'Madagascar'. And that’s just how that evolved and he just had this chord progression and all of the sudden it married with the French horn and it was their super-moody song and that was the start of that song. We actually recorded it really quickly up there at his house and he just sang unbelievably on it [Chris Pitman, Talking Metal, November 2008] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
