Słash Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) So well the lineup has been confirmed. I got no problem with Fortus, but I want this to sound like the old GNR and not the NuGNR, I don't want Fortus to play NR Solo or KOHD or YCBM. I just want Fortus to play what Izzy and Gilby did. No dividing of solo's, he should just stick to Rhythm. I hope Pitman is far from this. I do hope to see Steven and Matt for a few shows. Not seeing Izzy and Stevens name up there is kinda hurting me cause really they deserve to be up there.

Maybe if they play some CD songs he will play the solo, but thats ok with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The first thing my Buddy at work said when I walked in this morning was, "So Fortus and Ferrer huh?". We talked for a minute and he said "I'm checking out, I am sure there will be a DVD". His reason was "No Izzy".. I tried to play a different role than I usally do in these forums and asked "well what if Izzy just didn't want to do it?' Which he replied.. "Doesn't matter, I'm all set" That's a true story, that ain't no lie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think between his twitter, petition, media, etc enough noise has been generated that they know fans want to see him.....I guess time will tell....

James Bond Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Pitman gone seems to be all but confirmed now. After what a douchebag he was, I say good riddance. He never bothered me all that much because he's barely noticeable live, but he's absolutely not needed. His ever-pleasant personality sealed the deal for me. Another plus is it's nice to be back to the two guitar line-up and no second keyboardist. Slightly modified UYI line-up. I'll take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittman gone and two guitarists definitely brings it closer to the Gn'R spirit which is great. Still not a fan of the other two (Frank and Fortus) and they have a lot to prove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIST Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think it's cool they did it this way. They knew this would bring up attention, hope it sales for a lot and helps some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people outside of these forums thought it had become quite a circus. The extra guitarist and keyboardist was definitely a clear distinction between the old and new Guns so now I'm glad they've gone for more of a classic Guns feel with both the imagery and line-up. If we get any band photos at least Fortus looks like Izzy, so there's that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadApples87 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Izzy doesn't want to tour, so someone has to play the part. Fortus is fine to fill in, just like Gilby back in the day. Steven Adler is out because he has proven to be unreliable. It is a damn shame though because his drumming FITS this band better than anyone.

Towelie Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) I didn't have much of an opinion one way or the other about Pitman, until I saw that video where he was being interviewed by some foreign tart and was acting all aloof about GNR making new albums, as if he really had any say or control over that whatsoever. He came across as an arrogant prick in that interview and hasn't come across that well in his recent Twitter/FB outburst either, so good fucking riddance you loser.

The Facebook page I know that's official is the one you have to "Like" with a blue check mark next to it. So if this isn't the page then that's not it. We already got confirmation anyways so it doesn't matter at this point.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) I hope someone digs up a photo of Pitman playing a keytar. As far as the signed drum head, hopefully this is a good sign they'll all be signing more stuff together for fans, esp. the ones who got the ridiculously priced VIP packages.

DMathski Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Zero need for Pittman. I'm sure Izzy and Steven will play in some shows. Maybe as soon as Vegas. I'd be surprised if by the end of these shows we don't see either one. More confident we"ll see Steven for one or more of these first 6 shows.

That's his personal Facebook profile, so I guess it would make it official somehow ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
