Obviously Chris Pittman and Dizzy Reed have gotten sick of being bored at GnR gigs so they've been given a few more parts. Unfortunately! Keyboards do not work on Sweet Child but as far as I can remember they were there last night in all of their non-glory. I think they were on a copule of other Appetite songs as well. Unfortunately keyboards do not work on AFD songs
The most annoying thing was on the new songs. If he wanted to give Reed and Pittman something to do he could have played Madagascar and TWAT. But the keyboards destroyed Better. That was the most amazing performance of the night until midway through they started playing keyboards way too hgh in the mix. As for IRS, that's supposed to be a heavy rocker, but it sounded more haunting last night and seemed to be copying Friends by Led Zeppelin. That kinda arrangement worked on Friends but not IRS.

the keyboard/synth party were there in 2002 as well. even on songs like it`s so easy. the mix just sucked yesterday. that?s the reason why those parts were way too loud and destroyed some songs...

To My understandings Pitman puts synth effects and such. he did great job on the oldies. And that swallowing a bowlful of spaghetti kind of noise on better.
I really liked Dizzy's solo before the blues and that jazzy piece with axl before I feel good.

Theyve always played that much its just they were never as apparent in the mix as last night.
Dizzy plays a mean set of bongos.

yeah, Appetite has held up pretty well in the last 19 years just fine without synth and bongo drums
im sure they fit in great with the new material, but if they're to continue with "AFD rehash" (to quote my friend Mr Lofton
), lets leave this shit out
it only serves to add to the Kareoke flavour

Adding keyboards and such to the Classic Gn'R tunes that didn't already include them is fucking lame... It made the Appetite songs weaker in 2002 and I am sure it is even worse now....

Axl just likes to try new stuff.
This ain't a critisicm, on the contrary - I praise him for it, but "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". The AFD songs should
NOT
be changed.

i found the only problem with what pitman did was that it was too loud from what i can make out Dizzy does keyboard (and bongos) pitman does all the technical whizzy and orchestral background effects whick when mixed right sound good too loud and yes its too much like on the end of IRS now if we wanted to hear GNR as it was dig out the old boots listen to them, what is played is GNR now with the new people Pitman included and the songs have a litle bit of extra effects fucking wow so what they still sond great but have that little extra something we never used to hear and im glad of it, it refreshens the songs

I'm confused. What are you trying to say, exactly?
Mix aside, I understand Pittman's role in the band, but it still seems that he has an awful lot of downtime during the shows, and swaying back and forth with that keyboard looks a bit silly. Just my opinion, of course, and I definitely like what he brings to the new material...
