Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I was watching an old video called MTV Live And Loud 1992 featuring Guns N' Metallica for their World Tour and I noticed Dizzy mentioned that Teddy Zig Zag played harmonica but most importantly keyboards as well. So I guess GN'R have always had two guys on keys and Chris does have a purpose and dosen't pretend to play :hihi:

I'm a fan of Pittman's, and that's something that's always bothered me. People seem to forget that Teddy Zig-Zag toured with the band, and was even in some videos. I guess they don't care, as long as Slash was there...  ::)

pittman does a good job of drowning out the real music in a few songs

 :hihi:

I still have faith in the man - though his keyboard isn't plugged in he contributes in spirit :confused:

Ok, that last thing surprised me:
Really pitman isn?t even pluged???I may have swallowed the joke cause I have never seen much pictures of him live.......I would shoot myself if a Gn?R member didn?t even pretend to playing





Baby SLash//

We're just going on what one of his friends said - he was asked what Chris did in the band and he said he played keyboards that weren't plugged in :P

Pittman also is the bands PR rep that's what we never hear from them.

 :hihi:
I love the way people here have taken the crappy situation concering GNR in a positive way, constantly being able to make jokes out of it n' stuff... I think it's really cool.

Further to the whole "Pittmans not plugged in thing" i have to think that there is some truth to it.  

I innitially thought this when i first say the Rio video, during the sound sample part of Madagascar Pittman picks up the sampler, supposedly to cut the speech parts in, but i'm pretty sure that, from using samplers and being involved with electronic music myself, that his isn't 'playing' the samples live, or puching them in as the band are playing.  The entire segment is pre-recorded and he is in fact pretending that he's playing it live.  Quite why he would do this i don't know...

Pittman must be plugged, i dont think Axl's gonna get someone on stage who does nothing, this guy is needed : ok:

Perhaps in the studio but maybe there just isn't a role in a live setting and he just comes along for the experience

(judging from the inactivity in the GNR world maybe its the only time they ever all meet up, hell maybe Axl's band introductions are for the bands benefit too ''and you are?''

Re: Pittmans keyboards not being plugged in!

Look at the bootleg DVDs from 02.. the keyboards are wobbling around like a novelty prop or something!

What was the story with those?!?!?!

Does anyone have a proper photo of chris pittman ? : ok:

dude i swear to god i saw a pic of him once and he looked like rob halford, axl rose (80's leather era) and a leather store all thrown into a blender.

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Come ooon, can't be " that" bad, can he ?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Here I have 3:

He does look kinda gay at RIR3!

I was watching Boston 02 screenshot version last night.. and there was a great clear close up when Axl was introducing the band! If nobody else does, ill put it up when I get home from wk.

He had long brown scruffy hair.

Thank you very much..I don't think he looks bad, just a bit dazed on the first one maybe, but pretty much okay. Now, i can put a real face on a name, i am glad.

Special type of stand, Pogo in marilyn manson uses/used them.

Surely the keyboards were not plugged in/being used then.. I mean how could you play them!?   ::)

Fine, you ask pogo how he got those drum loops/effects/keyboards in then.

It looks like you can play them to me... i mean, you can play guitar while moving around right? :P

He has been working on a new album with Milli Vanilli too, and that can keep a guy tied up!  :hihi:

Hey man I wasn't calling you a liar or doubting what you were saying.. I just find it amazing that they can play keyboards why they are moving around like that! Ive played keyboards myself and struggled with them standing still!  ;D

I can't tell if some of you are kidding or not, but if you honestly think there's even a chance that Pittman's keyboards weren't plugged in, you are fucking stupid! In just about every song, you can clearly hear the parts he's playing, especially 'Madagascar', 'The Blues', 'Chinese Democracy', 'Rocket Queen', and 'You Could Be Mine'. Come on...

haha come to think of it.....any of you fuckers that went to the shows back in 2002.......was he even there?  In the reviews you never hear shit about him........eveyrone is like :O oh yeah i guess he woulda been there.........i think axl had his keyboards set up in the area down beside the stage by the mixing equipment. :rofl:

Actually, Pittman did an awesome job in The Blues and Knockin' On Heaven's Door.  : ok:

he does look abit Villige Peopleish in that picture but it kinda gives you the old school GnR feel. Not that i want that back :hihi: looking like that i mean : ok:

no worse then Axl's bike pants

gay on the first one?   the second one with the gay cap?  he looks like a gay biker or something.... but he's cool and its fucking bullshit that his keys are not plugged in.... thats the most retarded thing ive ever heard
