You can just ignrore her and keep your focus on Slash, Duff and Axl Don't worry I ignore the whole tour. I'm not planning to go to any show. The problem is that some people claim that what she does is essential. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that some people claim that what she does is essential. I really like Melissa's singing voice. her backing vocals on Madagascar especially during the last chorus. Someone mentioned Chinese. Also great. Powerful voice with a cool timbre to it. I much prefer the way her voice sounds with Axl's compared to Tracy and Roberta. you can argue about if she and her synths are necessary but I guess it depends on the band and how important are the details of the instrumentals to a specific listener and what they want to hear. it's hardly rare for a rock band to do this like others have already mentioned, only most bands do it the lame way obscured from audience view but if you're against synths in Gn'R there's really no point in discussing it if you can't differentiate your musical preference from the musician who happened to get the Gn'R gig and is just doing her job. (and doing it well in this case, I might add) should Axl ever choose to utilize Melissa as a composer in Gn'R, she'd already proven she's talented enough in that department as well by collaborating with Bucket and Brain. fake flute flurries were a part of the recorded version of November Rain so I feel like it does have its place in the live show.

I'm not comparing Tracy and Roberta with Melissa. Tracy and Roberta didn't play keyboard. At that time it was Teddy. Was he essential? I'm saying that if they were not essential neither is Melissa 38 minutes ago, Rovim said: you can argue about if she and her synths are necessary but I guess it depends on the band and how important are the details of the instrumentals to a specific listener and what they want to hear. Necessary in a song here and there, fine. Essential to the band and the show as whole?

Where did you get this? NR has keyboards, piano and orchestra. But I never heard anyone talking about specific fake flute flurries for the song in the past when it was recorded.

It's an interesting read. I always love to read about musicians' backgrounds and how they get/end up doing what they do. Melissa is obviously really talented. And needed. Playing stadiums and arenas warrants for a little boost on making the overall sound a bit bigger. In my opinion, anyway. If they were playing clubs it would be a different story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I never heard anyone talking about specific fake flute flurries for the song in the past when it was recorded. no one said Melissa is the new Izzy. She's a capable composer so a well rounded musician who has more than one skill. Instead of hiring a bunch of people, you only need one to replicate Chinese studio parts live so it's just a better representation of the material and old Guns tunes can be enhanced, but it's very subtle plus great backing vocals. you keep repeating the essential thing. Essential to what? to you personally getting your ideal youtube experience of a Gn'R show? probably not. But to do the kind of live show Axl is likely interested in, with all the elements that are important to him (and to some fans) yes, it is essential and it doesn't have any drawbacks imo since the main goal here is for Melissa to just give the sound a little kick. Melissa was talking about the studio parts from the old tunes she had to replicate and program so she can reproduce it live. She is playing some synth parts that Axl came up with for NR that sound like an orchestra for some, but it's Axl doing it all using synts. So it's cool that live these parts are still being performed. not everything that is important is essential anyway, and you can't bring Melissa out for a couple of tunes and then make her leave the stage. That won't work imo, it will feel weird. Edited September 8, 2021 by Rovim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they only play few CD songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree that it is yet another tour since Slash and Duff rejoined the band. But that doesn't mean we are turning the clock back to 1992.

But there was an issue of spliting the loot equally. No Backethead, no Tommy, no Ashba, no Fink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
