Pitman does alot more than write a part of Maddy.
And even on the website and myspace- he's put down as a bandmember.
Ask Tommy- Tommy said he was an official member before.

Great interview guys, thanks!
Pretty interesting how Richard signed with so many labels in his career. He seems young, but pretty experient...

Anything else you're currently up to that you'd like to share?
Richard
: Recently, I've been working on the new Spiderman 3 video game score, writing and recording with Puddle of Mudd for their new record, i just played on a record by a new artist on Def Jam called Kerli, I'm doing some music for Apple, Red Bull and various commercials and hopefully i will have time to do some more recording with Crystal Method for their next record.
love this bit, he is so versatile, he's got projects everywhere! and some major names like a Spiderman video game, Apple and Red Bull commercials, etc.. pretty cool stuff

If you guys haven't already, I strongly recommend the Pale Divine and Love Spit Love albums. Honky Toast... not so much. Good songs on there, but they're pretty basic.
It was a great interview, and I too consider Chris Pitman to be an official member.

Just for the record we did this Q and A via email. and it was more about getting to know more about richard to share with fans, we asked 12 questions 7 of which Richard replied to.......the last thing he said in his reply email was.
That's all the questions i feel comfortable commenting on.
richard
and we were very appreciative about him answering any.

I'm guessing he just didn't want to get into the whole who is considered an official member debate etc. and exactly what that means etc..
Thanks for posting.

what do you think,did izzy help axl in making of chinese democracy???
Yes, definitely.
I believe Izzy's presence will shine through on this album.
I'm hoping he is the reason we will still have some of the old Guns feel.

Anything's possible in Axl's world and something like this wouldn't surprise me one bit when considering the friendship and history of these two dudes.

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.

or maybe some one gets mad easily because the love of his life wasn't well talked about in an e-mail

I think people should read the info as it is. It isnt about GNR , and some people are really goin far to interpret but that was to be expected I suppose.

Yea, maybe.
But Fortus just rubs me the wrong way when it comes to Pitman.? We asked him whether Pitman's beats were funky or super funky and? TWICE he responded saying how he really didn't think he knew Pitman well enough to answer.
I mean, c'mon... the guy's in your band for Christ's sake!? Say his beats are "super funky."? Even if he didn't really think they deserved the "super," he should want to make his bandmate sound good.? I just don't get Fortus.?

I love pitman and I wiling to go out on and limb and say Richard does also. thing with pitman, he likes the obscure, so from me I take that Richard answer more as a dark joke.. if you get my meaning

Don't put so much into this... these aren't answers he dwelled that much on, and people here seems to twist words. I don't know if the jealousy comment about Fortus/Pitman are anything but a joke, but if it's serious, come on... This doesn't mean 1% of what people gather from it. I feel unpleasant that an interview I'm behind causes this much discussion about an issue that is probably insignificant.
