Yes, we should be aware of the fact that Richard took time to answer these questions and he did it good.
I accept the fact that the fans of Chris defend him when people are bashing him, but I don't get the point of all those PitManiacs anymore. He is a cool guy but do not make it into a "running gag". Nobody will take it serious anymore.
And why should Richard give a comment if Chris' music is funky or super funky?
Totally out of interest. (for me at least)

i think we should be grateful gnrsource conducted this interview and stop building up all this controversy "richard vs. chris", it's disrespectful to the bandmembers and it's disrespectful to those who conducted this interview, so stop making it something it's not. of course richard wouldn't be "jealous" of pitman, that's ridicilous, so i suggest you "pitmaniacs" tone it down a little bit, you've had your fun, now it's just an annoyance. i don't think either chris or richard would appreciate seeing this controversy as far as putting them up against each other goes, that's not what true fans of the band should do, we should support them all. thanks jan and jaz for this interview, i enjoyed it.

Fortus is jealous of Pitman, plain and simple. How can you play in a band and not know the guy? He said the same thing when EMS tried to interview him... something along the lines of how he didn't really know Pitman so he couldn't answer.
Clearly, Fortus hates the fact that Pitman's getting more and more attention. I'll bet Fortus felt pretty good about being the sexiest member of the band. But then Pitman stole the spotlight at the Walk of Style Awards.
Did anyone notice he spelled Pitman's name "Pittman?" C'mon, that controversy was cleared up months ago. He's gotta know how to spell his name by now. Clearly, he misspelled it on purpose -- a little underhanded dig at Pitman. Then saying he doesn't even know if he's in the band?! C'mon Dick, what do you think he's doing up there all night? Just hanging out, wiggling the keyboard?! He co-wrote Silkworms andMadagascar, and if you've heard the new Better leak, then you know what a huge part he's going to play in the album.
This can't be for real......

geez some people are a little too tightly wound around here.
i feel like fortus doesn't really say much because pitman wants to stay a little mysterious. i don't know why but i get a vibe like pitman kind of treats gnr with caution, like its potentially damaging to his cred or something. why not step up and get the glory for doing such awesome things with the gnr sound?

Why's everyone so worried about Pittman's status ?
He records w/ Guns (supposedly). I know that he tours w/ them.
So why is everyone wondering if he's an official member ?
And more so, what qualifies being an official member ?

Yeah, but I'm not talking any band.
I'm talking Guns N Roses.

Whereas I agree that he wants to remain mysterious, I don't think he believes GN'R damages his cred. ?He's friends with Tool, who have made an entire career out of being mysterious, so I guess he's just going by their example.

Should have asked Richard if Richard was an official member.

I think Axl's the only one allowed to say, who in fact is an official member.
More than likely because it seems to change so often.

How would Finck fans respond if Pitman gave an interview in which he said he wasn't even sure if Robin was "officially" a part of Guns N' Roses?

They'd laugh at Pitman?? Finck is the LEAD guitarist.. Pitman is the SECONDARY keyboard player... Face it guys Dizzy Reed is more important than Pitman!

Dizzy has been in the band longer than anyone other than Axl. Show some respect.
And the Pitmaniacs have a point, it's pretty weak of Fortus to not confirm that he's in the band. I'd bet Pitman is more in the band than Fortus is anyway.

If Dizzy was so great, then why'd they even need Pitman. ?Dizzy's a great pianist, but he's not a tech expert. ?Axl was smart enough to realize that. ?Dizzy's great in an early 90's kinda way. ?But Pitman is the future.

Pitman's role differs to dizzys.
enough is enough. Or are you trying to alienate the fans and the members from each other?

length is less important than quality.
