richard fortus, legit member in your eyes or not?

[D]

i dont know everyone, the more i think of it im not sure how legitimate richard fortus is being in this band.

i know he was a session player for NSYNC, he had to pay the bills blah blah blah blah blah but i think people are forgetting what GNR use to be.

these 5 crazy,talented, insane individuals collectively changing the face of music.


i think the new band is cool for CD but playing that old material they had nothing to do with sometimes leaves a bad taste in my mouth still.

I wish axl wouldve stuck with Robin and Bucket or a replacement for bucket.

fortus is a great guitarist but what are people gonna think when GNR are listed as

W axl Rose
former replacement tommy stinson
former primus brain
former NIN robin finck
former NSYNC guitarist richard fortus

i dont know about that!

fortus is a great guitarist but what are people gonna think when GNR are listed as

if his contributions to CD are good, no1 will be saying naything

These guys havnt been in bigtime bands excpet Tommy. And Bucket has had a great solo career.

Iy you wanna make the argument in terms of them playing the old material and what the old guys were about...you have a case, but other than that it dont really matter...

plus he has a great stage presence

That's not nice. 

As for Richard? OF COURSE HE FUCKING IS.

Slash played with that cunt Michael Jackson, doesn't make him any less rockin'.

[jarmo]

There's no members in GN'R, only employees! When will you understand?

Merck and Axl dresses them all up so they'll look different. Just like a boy band!

If you ask me richard fortus is the only 'real' musician.
Finck is too gothic and indus and i don't think this is the style of this band, guns n roses is rock and roll, not silly gothic marilyn manson style.

[Dave_Rose]

He is a legit member to me who cares if has recorded with NSYNC he reminds me of Izzy so much and I like his look its very cool Richard is becoming one of my new fav members of GN'R, he knows how to rock, Rock on Richard ?

[nesquick]

nsync or not nsync I don't care. didn't Slash play for blackstreet another boys band of the mid 90's? who cares? As soon as you have talent I don't see where the problem is. Richard is by far my favourite "new" band member and the best new guitar player of GN'R. I won't repeat what I already said 10 times. That guy is a class guitar player. And If you want my opinion, I think I even prefer Nsync to NIN or any other gothic/indus stuff.

nsync or not nsync I don't care. didn't Slash play for blackstreet another boys band of the mid 90's? who cares? it's called business. That's it.

Yes, this reminds me of something...
So how the fuck do I dream at night?
With the memories of a borrowed death, the guilty tide
Filth pig, filth pig
He sleeps with both eyes open
Filth pig, filth pig
He sleeps all right because he?s a
Filth pig

[Acquiesce]

He isn't any less legit than the other members. Personally, I like his style of playing more than Finck and Buckethead.

[Saul]

I guess whoever axl hires into the band is a "legit" member .. as long as they sign on the dotted line and collect a paycheck. It is afterall axl's band now. 

[Dr. Blutarsky]

If you watch Fortus on stage with GNR, that is all the convincing I needed that he is a legit gunner.

[mikegiuliana]

No one is legit to me until the day they are presented as the band with an album.., The entire band is subject to change whenever axl wants..

[Booker Floyd]

Hes fine with me..

[the dirt]

And If you want my opinion, I think I even prefer Nsync to NIN or any other gothic/indus stuff.

I love it how you're called Indus

 

[Falcon]

That's exactly what turns me off about him, a third guitarist who doesn't have 1 memorable riff on his resume striking every pose known. ?Earn your stripes then go Angus Young on me, until then, calm the fuck down.

On topic, if he's on the payroll he's a legit member.

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Fortus was also in Love Spit Love, Psychadelic Furs, Ben Folds Five, and? Gravity Kills? too, so enough with this n suck crap. He played on one of their albums big deal. Slash played with black street or do some of you forget that?
