Blackstar Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 1 hour ago, MooseMan said: I don't know if GN'R are operating under the old partnership for the tour or not. They very well may be, but I don't think this lawsuit proves that they are. There were lawsuits during the Nu GN'R days where all 3 of them were plaintiffs as "GN'R". In the Greatest Hits lawsuit, although they referenced the partnership, they sued as individuals. From the ruling of the case (which they lost): Plaintiffs' Lanham Act claims fail as a matter of law. Even if there were any factual basis for Plaintiffs' claims, they still could not provide a basis for equitable relief. Both of the Lanham Act claims are facially deficient. The first, for trademark infringement, fails because Plaintiffs have no standing even to bring such a claim. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office records submitted by Plaintiffs show that a California partnership called 'Guns N' Roses,' and not the individuals who are plaintiffs here, owns the registered trademarks sued on in this action. http://www.gnrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?id=3425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 16 hours ago, Dean said: I personally love how he called it a money grab tour, nostalgia etc yet it was Pitman himself, interviewed in 2012, saying how Guns N' Roses didn't have to release new music. I'm also disappointed that the screens of his outburst at all of us here calling the forum "dildoes" haven't been posted. That's when I thought he took it too far He didn't call the fans at mygnrforum dildos, he called whoever is being mygnr (different site) dildos. I don't get why people here seem so annoyed by this. Why get upset at Pitman dissing mygnr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that doesn't really sound like the Duff of nowadays. For what would he slam him against the wall? For calling it a nostalgia cashgrab? They are playing 30 year old songs and haven't created one single new song since. What else was it gonna be? I'd like to think that Duff is a bit more realistic and intelligent than to take issue with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhm, well. She came in, after he managed to get himself kicked out. I'm not sure how you could spin that into making it her (or Brain's) fault. On 6.10.2019 at 6:06 AM, lame ass security said: It's really cool that Igazio Sixx Comito had Pitman's back. Just as important as Slash and Duff.😄 Yeah. You seriously have to shake your head at some people's comments. Does he really think that or is he just kissing up to Pitman?! Which both would be equally sad.

We do not own or have aceess to the mygnr site. We've never had the ability to edit Pitmans info on that page, but he sure seems to think we do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s my belief that he thought that site was affiliated with this and reached out to whoever was running the site back in the day to change the error and wasn’t happy at being told that they had no control over it. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest, I just find it incredibly childish the way he handled that whole affair and to call the fans “dildoes” topped it off and I thought it lacked class, along with the tweets apologising for his idiotic behaviour. Everything worked out in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, I never read the thread. Notification popped up when I came on the site on my phone so it seems a few of them were talking about it! Ha ”Mr. Pitman, we can’t help you with this. Have a nice day P.S. Silkworms is pish” For the record, I like Silkworms 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaskingApathy Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 On 10/5/2019 at 9:26 AM, MillionsOfSpiders said: How odd that he was told to take down his Coachella tweet by management, what was that all about? Didn’t seem like he’d fallen out with anyone at that point. On 10/5/2019 at 9:44 AM, Blackstar said: Yeah, it's odd. Maybe they didn't want anything to come out yet about who else would be in the band besides Axl, Slash and Duff, because there were still negotiations and discussions about Izzy and the lineup in general. Or maybe there were some problems already at rehearsals at the time of his first tweet, and with that he wanted to say he was in the band. That's what I was thinking, there was still ambiguity about the final lineup and they wanted to keep the mystery until the first show. On 10/5/2019 at 9:43 AM, soon said: The alleged incident took place after the socials posts, with one post mocking the request to not speak about Coachella by taking about it even more, and of course the "nostalgia tour... money grab, FU" post. The story, as Ive heard it, goes that Duff said something like 'thats my band youre taking about' or 'dont fuck with my band' I would agree that its an overreaction. A funny one though, imho Duff and Slash probably saw what a wanker Pitman was to begin with and were angry when he posted those things online (prompting Duff's quote and actions).

Hey - Pitman is my boy @Sosso‘s favorite! with the benefit of yours and everyone’s thoughts, I’m kinda leaning towards the negotiations with Izzy. That if Izzy were in there would be no second keyboard player, maybe? But they did not let Pitman know about that conversation? Maybe just wishful thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I'm still curious about Pitman's "game for days" quote. Was he in negiotations with TB or what was he talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, on the off chance that its a true story, would suggest that Axl didnt fire him (since he showed up for practice) and that maybe Duff did. I know this just a rumor but do you know how much money I would pay to see Duff in his “punk as fuck” shirt doing that to Pitman? 😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
