On the video she says she's not from their world initially, they probably appreciate her perspective since everyone else is a straight up rock dude. Doesn't hurt that she's a hell of a singer/piano player. Edited February 21, 2017 by moreblack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tadsy Posted February 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2017 shes probably a really nice girl, but honestly, I prefer to ignore her. I still don't see the point of her even being there. Never have, never will. But oh well... It is what it is! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanity_lost Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 She seems like one of those people who are nice and fun to be around. Then her vocabulary starts to creep into yours and it takes two years of conscious effort to quit talking like her. Sorry. Flashback to an instructor I had for multiple classes for a year once. She had a tendency to add -ish to words. And usually it was paired with "kinda". She did it all the time. It seemed like at least every other sentence. You cannot imagine my horror when I found myself starting to do it. (It was kinda annoyingish!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Maybe he was cut because they don't need two keyboardists and they wanna but that money towards securing Izzy" and then they replaced Pitman with her so...yeah idk. She doesn't hurt the sound, I'm not convinced she helps a lot but idk, just seems like money that could have been better spent but I can't see how to argue you so #lolmelissareese #Dope #Rad #Lit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadcaplaughs Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 She certainly has a way with words doesn't she In all seriousness, it seems clear Axl wants the two keyboard players in the band. We might as well enjoy a cute one who adds nice backing vocals. I actually consider her backing vocals on "Patience" and "Better" to be one of the highlights of the show I saw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) I don't mind her being in GNR, I wouldn't want to see her in a AFD5 lineup reunion however for a lineup such as this where it is a hybrid mix of a bunch of different elements old and new I think its totally fine Let's put it this way, I wouldn't have really thought to have her in the band and I barely noticed her on stage - although I do think she gets a lot of hate on this site that is a little silly IMO Edited February 22, 2017 by WhazUp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl Rose aka God Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 45 minutes ago, Billsfan said: That means we should all just blindly love her? K Also doesn't mean we should blindly hate her either. --- A lot of folks just seem to dislike her because she isn't Izzy or Pitman or because she's a girl or because they don't like her personality. She does Chris Pitman's job better than he did it. She's actually noticeable. Nobody outside of the forums and hardcore fans recognized him as more than just an idle keyboardist. Melissa is full of energy when she's playing and I'm pretty sure she hasn't fucked up yet. Get over yourselves! Just because someone is modern and not what you like in somebody's personality doesn't make them bad, it makes you look incredibly narrow minded. She's fucking dope. Happy for her, hope she sees continued success! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy for her, hope she sees continued success! I think the issue is that many (not all) people are projecting their own desires onto GNR - anything that isn't "The Appetite 5" sucks and is morally wrong to them. Which don't get me wrong, I would love an AFD5 reunion, however look we are just fans - we truly do not have the inside knowledge to cast a judgement call on that whole thing. But that is a different topic entirely, so I will just say that I kind of find the outright hate for Melissa by some people to be kinda silly. She added very noticeable higher vocal parts to songs like Better and CD and it made the songs sound even better harmonically. She has a positive attitude and great enthusiasm. She does the keyboard and effects that apparently Axl wants - she is cool in my book. And also unlike some people I don't give a shit what word she uses for "hat" Edited February 22, 2017 by WhazUp 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
