Emails from Richard Fortus

[AxlsMainMan]

It's kinda cool that after the sparse little comments we get from Dizzy and Tommy at gigs, we can just e-mail Richard and he'll tell us whats up?

I noticed that too Evolution....perhaps Dizzy and Tommy like watching us play pin the tail on the release date.

the next rock in rio won?t be in Brazil.... so problably he?s not talking about that

How does that even work since Rio is in Brazil

Lol - if that was actually from Richard jarmo would have deleted the email address on privacy grounds - that its still there is a pretty good indication its fake.

richard fortus 

will be

a superstar

For me, he already is. That guy could be almost as popular as Slash when the record is out. You'll see it. I have an "eye of tigger" to recognize the big talents. If I were an A&R, I would be billionaries. Don't worry for Buckethead's departure, it's nothing, just a small detail, Richard blows him away. Once he will take the Lead, He will be one of the most popular guitar player in the world.

I abosulely agree 100%. He is basically at that pinnicle , and when cd comes out, his stardom is gonna skyrocket!

Or not. It's posted on Richard's official site. It's for his fan mail, if he chooses to keep it public, why should jarmo act different?

Sure, the mail could be bogus (just like any other response Fortus sends out), but the address isn't.

Yay for FORTUS!!!!!!!

RIR4 was already in Lisboa, Portugal. Go figure.

Since it's actually intendend for fan e-mail and not a personal e-mail address, I guess he has no problem with it being posted on a GN'R board.

Brazil in '06 and we will have a new record

Woo! all that in one sentence

[Sakib]

4tus is a nice dude. btw, why is it called Rock in Rio?

[WARose]

the first three festivals were actually in rio

although the mail doesn`t contain some news that could become a rumour i think it`s bogus....

[Scabbie]

I don't think its fake, Richard is a fairly chatty person he has sent me a mail before.

It seems like Tommy was the original 'chatty' person, then Dizzy, then a bit of Brain (who got told to pipe down) and then Fortus. Maybe its Robin's turn next?!

Does anyone think RIR will happen now that that bloody court case has been moved back?

 then a bit of Brain (who got told to pipe down)

Nothing like speculation eh?  I chat with Brain through email and nobody tells him to "pipe down" , there is however contracts signed that nobody wants to publicly breach.

Maybe its Robin's turn next?!

Only problem there is that we will have all worn out multiple copies of our democracy cd before we can decipher R obi Ns "sway" ....

Hi , R 0bin here , lil update on the new GNR album for you - "auttum leaves , death and cold , music warms the s0u l ... is it soon or far , when the angels sing the hate and hurt falls upon the land."

Haha, awesome!!!!!

Maybe the gag order has been lifted, but everyoneelse has been made to look like an ass in the past so they all decline to comment now. Except Richard cuz he hasn't been called a liar by the GnR Community yet. Don't worry Richard IN a years time you will be as credible as Tommy, Dizzy and Brain too

Hey, yer right! The GNR community hasnt really raked fortus over the coals as a liar yet! For shame , what kind of fans are we if we cant treat each band member with the same kinda respect?

So Mr.Fortus , on behalf of the whole GNR fanbase let me say to you sir , "You're one big fat liar!"

Now sir , take your place alongside the rest because you are now an official member of Guns N Roses.

I agree. There's no reason to be fake since he already claimed he *might* tour with the band sometime next year. Also, he already talked about CD being released in early 2006.

In my brazilian board, two other people recieved similar answers from Richard. I'm yet to confirm it, though.

Why? I think it would be safe for the band to only play a gig after the announcement of the album's release, at least. If this trial is pushing back the release date, it would be a problem to the band to perform at RIR5.

Good to see the crazies are still around!

Here's the Richard's mail sent to two users from my board (axl rose br and axl duz inferno):
