I hope you're right and he still is in the band...... but was that blog updated recently?

This is the date listed:
Chris Pitman Official Bio
Saturday, January 9, 2016

I hope you are wrong and that he is out..

Pitman fucking rocks.

But he didn't erased that "Guns N' Roses 2016" line too. Which is a good sign for me.

Maybe he'll do some effects on a new album...? :)

... you mean that next one, which will come out around 2030? :)

Actually, I don't think Slash & Duff wouldn't put up with Axl's "procrastination" too much this time.
Remember my words: it they are working on something, it will see the light of day next year at the latest.

wanna bet? logic and common sense strongly indicates so, but we had this "next year for sure" thing here for quite a long time already

Fair point but there wasn't anyone chain smoking Marlboros in a studio at the time.

Axl is leaving for AC/DC so maybe Mother Goose can be the singer.

I bet the word 'Pitman' has never been typed so much as in the last few weeks.

Naha, it would be Fergie stepping in to replace Axl! :hihi:

Because he hasn't updated that site since January 9, 2016.
For example, his recent studio involvement with the guy from Tool isn't listed because it happened after January 9, 2016.

Looks like this thread got lean and mean since this morning.

That's probably it (In Bizarro world)  :hihi:

Ever think that we all could benefit from less of this pointless whining that keeps coming from your keyboard?

Just asking.

Because unless there's a change in attitude, something will have to change.

Yeah I think Chris Pitman could do a great deal of good with Guns N' Roses!!!

that's too bad I deleted my comment, because I saw a "hidden" person was on this post right after I replied. lol

I delted it before you even posted yours man. save it.

No, I think Pitman is insanely underrated and would be a great addition if he is back/kept in gnr.

awesome stuff!

It's kinda funny when you get caught and then try to fool me by being sarcastic.

It's fine, assume I'm an idiot.  : ok:




/jarmo

Get caught? I simply deleted it BEFORE you posted. Or before I thought.

I don't think you are stupid. Not by any means my Lord.

No seriously I don't think you are stupid man. I respect you. I do. I do think Pitman is like the hidden weapon in GnR... just realized it. With his sub-bass and writing we've really benefitted. I was just too stupid to realize it.

Pitman hits life's lottery.

Good for him, but let's be real here.

Whatever happens in the next month in GN'R history will not remove the past. That's awesome news for some, they can always go back to whining about Chris being in GN'R, the time they had to spend waiting for Chinese Democracy and all their other opinions.

Always focus on what's important....  :-*


/jarmo

The present is awesome. I  love it. It is clearly a new chapter in GnR (or is that going to get argued too?).

I had to deal with like 5 guitarists in GnR that left and came back like they were seeing a train wreck happen over and over again. So yeah, I'm happy about the recent news.

Some people loved the Nu GnR and that is great, some didn't like that that much. They were cool, and put out 1 good album (their only album)

and man we've all seen those credits? FUCK. lol

It's just this is long overdue, and I'm glad about it. Slash and Duff being back is great. No more revolving door guitarists.

I agree with this.

But I only think that's a problem for the folks that insist on equal time.  I think the majority of us have already turned that page, months ago now.

This year is going to be awesome.

Yeah it will be an awesome year. Move forward.

It's ironic that you're the one complaining about the member changes, but another member change is ok....
You'd think it would go against your "revolving door" idea....

But no.  :hihi:




/jarmo

Really man? The "real" band is back. I'm all cool with another "change".  :rofl:

Axl, Slash and Duff are a large part of what made Gn'R so damn good. Wished Izzy and Steve/Matt were there, but RIchard and Frank are great in their own way too.

I'm totally cool with the members being changed around again... trust me. Little different when you're going from Ashba/Thal to Slash.

Uh... are you really trying to compare the return of  founding band-member Slash to other journeymen like DJ Ashba?!

Slash is not a founding band-member.

I wonder if Axl has ever said this to Chris Pitman!

      Tecnically Slash isn't a founding member.

#1: I wasn't comparing anybody to anybody else. That's all created by your own imagination.
#2: The point was about certain people posting their "honest opinions" about how much it sucks that the band members have changed over the years. But not now. I can see the humor in it. It's obvious you can't. No big deal.
#3: Happy Easter & welcome back after your seven year absence.

WTF is Chris pitman,Should have got rid of these hired hands ,really pissed Izzy isn't involved, he along with Axl is the most important part of the band ,but I can't believe people on here are not more outraged about Axl fronting ACDC surely his focus should be on GnR .

I hope Chris is not reading this thread. HTGTH is supposed to be a forum for GNR fans and many of us even hardcore fans. And it seems that 80% of the fan base dosent like him at all. Not fair to a guy who has worked hard for this band for the last 18 years, to give him senseless hate.

Anywho, i like him, writes killer tunes, kills it on the keyboards live, was vital on Chineses arrangements, programming ect.

Dosent really fit in if you want a Appetite era nostalgia spectacle. If that is what you want, im pretty sure that the ritz show from 1988 is still on youtube.

You're crazy.

Well said.

Really funny how people didn't seem to mind Teddy Zig Zag as a 2nd keyboard, but hate Pitman, when it's obvious that Pitman is way more important, and he has writing credits in some pretty cool songs. Like it or not.

That is also weird that for some Teddy is welcome but Chris is not.

Btw if, you guys havent checked out Chris Pitmans solo/side project record Sextapes, you should, its great.

Love Chris' keyboard and synth contributions to the new lineup. He really added some great sounding effects on songs like "Rocket Queen" and "You Could Be Mine" that made them sound fresh and current. And of course his role on "CD" tracks are fantastic, especially "Madagascar." Really hope he's still involved.

Viewed objectively, I think you'd have to rank Chris above Teddy Zig Zag, a guy who never wrote or created anything under the GNR banner.

As for the comparison between the two men in terms of fan perception, I think its pretty straightforward.  Teddy Zig Zag was part of the touring band when a lot of us first became GNR fans.  Chris is part of a line-up of replacement guys, and I think carries some of that baggage.

Not right though, I don't think.  Check those liner notes on CD.  He's pretty involved.

he WAS very involved....may still be behind the scenes.  :-\

If they are planning on doing all classic era material, then there really is no need for him in a live setting. Dizzy can handle all that.

I have to say... I really don't care either way...

Come next Friday.... I am checking off a major item on my bucket list... and it's going to be really heavy for me.

Just too damn excited to get all worked up over MOTHER GOOOOOOOOOOSE  :)

But then again just because he can doesn't mean he has too......  :-*

soooo... is Tracey and Roberta back, too? :o

Only 11 Days

Rewatched Axl interview with Jimmy Kimmel today - Pittman in the crosshairs even back then  :rofl: :hihi: :rofl:

Why is this being discussed still? Or why was this brought up?

We all thank Chris for his work on CD, and his years of service in Gn'R, as he was a hired gun right?

But great things are happening now, and sadly Chris isn't involved.

Gn'R, Vegas, Tonight!

I actually agree with you. this really doesn't matter, because there are much more important and exciting things just coming!

I think this thread was bumped for a joke, nothing else.

Well, he's out, whatever.

 :peace:

The Goose is Loose! Watch out Las Vegas...he is sneaking in to the show with his keyboard just in case.  :hihi:

Thanks, Jarmo!!! And my best wishes to you too, my friend - what a great time it is to be a GNR fan!

Although, I haven't been gone for 7 years - I still read the site a few times every week, at least. In fact, I think I've known some of the folk on this site - you, D-generation X for more than 15 or 20 years - its crazy. Did you guys used to be on some GNR email news digest thing, back in the day? (I can't remember the name of it now). I never, through all those years of looking daily for news and updates, thought this day would come! So let's enjoy it!!!

John.

YES! And so is Teddy Zig-Zag on the harmonica!

One show(or a song or two) with those two would be pretty cool further down the road.
