Title: Re: Fortus or Pitman out? Post by: EmilyGNR on September 18, 2015, 12:57:45 PM I don't think this is a reputable news source, they seem to pick up and parrot every rumor from everywhere.
Title: Re: Fortus or Pitman out? Post by: FunkyMonkey on September 18, 2015, 01:18:58 PM Mark Strigl from Talking Metal is a reputable source.
Listen to the program yourself at the link. They start to talk about GN'R around 46:15, the quote below is at 51:30. ?The other thing that I found interesting recently was that recently, DJ is out, we don?t really seem to know the status of a lot of the other guys. I will tell you that I do correspond with one of the other members from time to time, and he told me in early July: ?Hey I?m going to have a big announcement and,? he didn?t say that, he said: ?I?m going to have something to talk about in mid-August.? This is exactly what he said, ?Let?s do an interview in mid-August, cool?? I was like absolutely, because I had reached out to him in early July, and he had said: ?I don?t want to do it now, but I?m going to have something to talk about in mid August.? (Sighs) I?ve since reached back out to him, at one point, I think it was early August, he said hit me back in two weeks, which I did, and I?ve been hitting him back every week since then, and crickets, no response to the e-mail.?

I would think that's likely considering we have heard nothing about Richard jumping ship and Chris was watching airplanes with Axl fly over his house! Title: Re: Fortus or Pitman out? Post by: FunkyMonkey on September 18, 2015, 03:33:59 PM Why is the assumption that it's Richard or Chris? He could be talking about Tommy, right? Yeah, I'm not sure why the article says Pitman or Fortus. Mark Strigl talks about DJ and Ron, it's not them. They comment that Dizzy and Frank seem to be going out of their way to confirm they are still in the band. So that leaves Chris, Richard or Tommy. Process of elimination. :D Title: Re: Fortus or Pitman out? Post by: EmilyGNR on September 18, 2015, 04:42:31 PM According to who, exactly is this Strigl guy a reputable source?

Title: Re: Fortus or Pitman out? Post by: jarmo on September 18, 2015, 05:03:20 PM John and Mark are GN'R fans who've been doing the Talking Metal podcast for a decade now. I'm not gonna question their credibility.
As far as I can tell, this thread is somebody jumping to conclusions based on Mark saying somebody told him there'd be news in August. He didn't say what kind of news. /jarmo Title: Re: Fortus or Pitman out?

If Tommy didn?t know then he should off never implicated other people. Despite how the decisions are made It completely depends on what your interpretation of 'We all left in Vegas' means... I tend to think it means different things for different members depending on where they are in their personal lives and what priority they assign to other projects based. Which is what Tommy hints at a bit without getting specific and making a statement like DJ. Title: Re: Fortus or Pitman out?

Post by: Virolec on September 19, 2015, 09:04:15 PM It's not really incompatible with what Tommy said - say, for instance, that everyone finished their contracts after the Las Vegas shows, and some members (Richard and Frank, for example) have been offered new contracts, or filled in on what's happening next, and others (Tommy) have not.
