Chris Pitman

I can do with or without Chris right now. Time will tell how important he is IF and when CD comes out.? I seen them live 3 times in 06, and once in 02, and didnt really hear too much outta him on the older songs. SO I guess thats cool. Although sometime during 06, AOL televised a GNR show from somewhere...(maybe RIO?), and thier mix was off a bit. I heard more of Chris than I wanted. During 'jungle' his playing was really prominent and just made that particular song worse in my opinion. I played it back for a few of my friends....casual GnR fans, and they agreed that he had no place in some older songs.? Ill save my final judgement for when I hear CD.

Pitman does an AMAZING job in some songs. IRS for example. But I dont like some of his ''things'' in the AFD songs.

My opinion is that we will see Pitman in his complete potential in the album. He's a very skilled musician, muti-instrumentalist and he also writes songs! (Silkworms, with Dizzy, for example)

Ok, God of Justification, What is the """AMAZING""" job of Pittman in IRS?, man, you are the most exaggerated and dreamy man I have known...
But, I insist dear Argentinean, I don't say Pittman being a bad musician, I just say that Pittman is not so important as a lot of you think, due to there is another one Keyboard more leading in the band...obviously, I mean is not so relevant for people hears, because, Axl Rose is current "the Chief" and if he thinks is necessary another Keyboard it is ok...
I agree we will see the complete potencial of Pittman in the album, but so far he doesn' show anything special...(although if he writes songs, don't help him at all the example about "Silkworms"... )...

At RIR III, Axl said that Silkworms was written by Dizzy and Chris.

[PJ]

put together by them
written by dizzy or mainly dizzy..
dizzy's tech said it

thanks for the input pt666

Chris's keyboard is different from dizzys. He's more of a synth guy i believe.
yep the amazing job is prominent on irs, madagascar and better.

I think today's Afd songs don't sound the same as those in 1987 which also differ from 86 ones or 92 ones or as those in 2002. the songs have evolved with the band. Or they would get irrelevant to the band and sound dated live.
I guess I always like the latest the best.

dizzy plays the organ a lot.. most of the times in the AFD songs..
the same organ he used in the uyi tour.. a hammond XB-2
also he plays the piano, a roland JB-8000
chris doesnt play piano or organ.. he plays synths. in AFD songs most oif the time you cant hear him, cuz he is doing a similar synth riff of the guitars..
obviously axl didnt bring pitman to play in AFD songs..

I do like some of the stuff he does on the AFD songs. I really like the stuff he's doing during You Could Be Mine the most though.

I'm not a fan of Silkworms.

"he IS a great guy" haha.. Im just beeing a dick.. My english is not good enough to have the right to correct others..
Anyway! You can hear on almost every old songs, that they more filled with synth now. And on the new songs, it seams that the
synth play an very important role.

Go buy the Lusk record! It is really really good! 

[willow]

  Its all good! lol

In one hand, he def do some good sound fx on the songs live... But there's A LOT of synths that is actually Dizzy playing (the Better intro, CD intro, IRS..). Seems like with this Pitman shit going on, people forgot about the main keyboard man in the band.

But I do like Pitman's work. I think the Madagascar speech is absolutely brilliant.

[elmir]

i'm very interested to hear what Chris' contribution was to this new record, just the thought of him working with Robin to produce a unique sound, and (earlier on) with Bucket, to produce compositions is simply mouth watering.....i hope we get a solid showcase of the man's abilities....
