Estranged Reality Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I have a feeling he would have been fine if he hadn't gone into meltdown mode... but I think he was probably reading the rumours about the old band lineup, and perhaps there wasn't clear communication, so he thought he was really being fired -- and his reaction to that, ironically enough, may very well have been what got him fired.

stella Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 There *was* that interview on Jimmy Kimmel in like 2012 where Axl said that he thought that Pitman would be the first person to leave the band...hmm. Perhaps things were shakier than one realizes. And apparently Melissa and Brain were working on the Chinese Democracy/unreleased music remixes behind the scenes for quite some time, so it isn't as though she just sprung up out of nowhere. I do think the Twitter meltdown probably happened *after* he'd been let go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Macaroni Incident? Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Good riddance to Pitman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Who cares, he's gone now, from here on out he is as associated to the band as fans let him be by still talking about it, just shut your noise, thank your lucky stars and let the break happened cleanly and quietly so maybe 5 years from now no one will remember this aberration ever having anything to do with your favourite band 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Route66 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 He was fired for being a dick on twitter. He also drinks way too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-W.A.R- Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) who cares? why hes no longer in the band or why he had a meltdown on twitter is of no concern to me and i don't see why it would to anybody else Edited April 11, 2016 by -W.A.R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashisGOD Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Pittman was always negligible. I'd rather watch pretty Melissa than idiot Pittman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard comments like, "What's up with the other keyboard player? Why is he even up there? Why did Axl hire a transvestite to play synths? Is that George from The Wedding Singer?"

Binauralsounds Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Glad he’s out simply for the reason that his “ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh” backing vocals ruined Jungle for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
