Why would anyone have a problem with that? It's actually been 3-4 songs and I have heard many people say they aren't interested in hearing them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Money Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Dizzy can handle both jobs. He probably feels insulted about having a 2nd keyboard player the way Slash felt insulted about bringing in another lead guitarist in the 90s, but Dizzy isn't going to complain. But that's just me speculating and crossing my fingers for a AFD+Dizzy lineup, so don't weigh too much on my comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy didn't always have a second keyboard player with him. During the the classic era he didn't start or end with one.

I do. I think Melissa does what's asked of her. I didn't create the art. The band did so I'll trust them since I'm not a part of it. If I told Picasso that Blue girl was a little too blue, that doesn't make me a fan, that makes me a critic. And it's a universal truth that 100% of critics are douchebags. I would instead not look at the painting and move on with my life. But in the age of the trash can online, everyone gets to spout off bile from their fingertips at no cost to themselves.

I love technology! I don't think anyone in their right mind can hate on Melissa for doing what she's told. Listen, if GNR wanted a keyboard player or a towel player of course we would all jump at the chance to do it. We would all be a part of history with axl slash and duff reuniting, and to be playing stadiums so I'd assume that'd be a significant paycheck. I can't agree with hating her for taking on an opportunity she was eligible for and doing what she's been instructed to do. I think it's just more about the position itself.. It just isn't a good look for this band to have another keyboard player like that, especially since she's not really contributing to the material already there or even the handful of CD songs they're playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorderlineCrazy Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Having Slash back, I was hoping this band was gonna go back to being the raw rock n' roll band it originally was. Sadly, Axl had a different idea, a different vision and so this is the best we can expect to get. If Melissa leaves, someone else will come and do that job. Personally, I think the original GN'R was the best and any addition/change was for the worse (Dizzy, Teddy, Tracey, Roberta, Dildoman, Ferrerererer... even Bucketgod) but if they're gonna have a 2nd keyboard player, then I like Melissa for the role. I appreciate her enthusiasm, positive vibe, backing vocals and that new intro for Better. I'd like them to get rid of the keyboards (yeah, Dizzy too) but if that's not happening, then I'm fine this way, Melissa is better than the old one.

YEAH i dont like that tour very much because i cant stand GNR without izzy but that was certainly a major improvement in every sense over the 1992 circus-tracy-roberta-zig-zag era is here any pro shot video from that tour except argentina 1993? i have nice audio recordings of hartford 1993, argentina 1993, and of course all the izzy 1993 shows any others skin and bones shows that are worth listening?
