I cant believe the sexism towards her. Really. Disgusting.

Sexism?  Where?

Please, open your eyes.

Give me an example?  I would like to see your definition of sexism?  I've seen one comment in this thread that could resemble sexism...and that's questionable.  Most of the comments are talking about Pittman.

Sexism IS a thing people.  But let's not get carried away and throw it around every chance you get like the term racism. 

That comment made it sound like this thread was filled with sexist comments.  In all reality, not so much...if any at all

yeah, weird, because if you need some keyboardist, why don't you keep the one who worked with you all these years?

anyway, if she's a new member as alternativenation claims she is, that's cool to have a woman in the band.

I never said it was here. Saw it around, in another board, in Twitter and in Facebook. Won't direct you to the links, but it shouldn't be hard to find. Its things like "oh, she's great because she will iron the clothes and cook the foods for the guys".

No, you interpreted that way. I never suggested it was comments here. I actually posted it here because I thought Jarmo and the mods would actually delete and act against people making comments like that.

Fair enough.  And yes, that is a sexist comment you pointed out.

My guess is she is there more for backing vocals than keyboard, but she adds the ability of a classicaly trained pianist to help round out the sound on certain tracks.

Whether its In this Moment, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Evanessence, Halestorm most of these women in rock music are extremely attractive whether you use the words hot, sexy, stunning it is what it is I think the artists or musicians know it as well that they are going to get alot of attention

It wasn't that long ago that some people on this board got very antsy about people discussing Axl's appearance.  She is a musician, like the rest of the band, and we should show her the respect of focusing on her as a musician first and foremost.

Meet Melissa Reese, Guns N? Roses? New Keyboard Player
By Dave Lifton April 02, 2016

n addition to welcoming back Slash and Duff McKagan for the first time since 1993, Guns N? Roses also unveiled a new keyboardist, Melissa Reese, at their warm-up show at the Troubadour in Los Angeles last night (April 1). With her profile presumably about to increase as the band embarks on a new tour, this is a good time get to know a little bit more about who she is.

According to the bio on her website, Reese received piano and vocal training in jazz and classical from an early age in her hometown of Seattle, and has been composing and songwriting since she was 14. Her music has been heard on television shows as diverse as Inside the NFL, Gossip Girl and Keeping Up With the Kardashians. She has also played on commercials with such artists as Bootsy Collins, Chuck D and Vanessa Carlton. ?Girlfriend,? one of the songs from her 2007 EP Lissa, was featured in the ad campaign for Just Fab Shoe.

Her connection with Guns N? Roses likely comes via Bryan ?Brain? Mantia, who drummed with them from 2000-2006. As Brain and Melissa, the two have collaborated extensively, composing music for video games (Disney?s Fantasia: Music Evolved and Infamous 2, for which they were nominated for an award in composition by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences), commercials (NASCAR, Johnny Walker Blue and Audi) and the score for the horror film Detention. They?ve also performed on Best Regards, the five-CD set by another former Guns N? Roses member, Buckethead, and its follow-up, Kind Regards. In addition, they?ve provided remixes for Green Day and Taylor Swift?s Grammy-winning ?Bad Blood? video.

Pd. Thanks Melissa By Me 4500 Post  Grin Congratulations To Me  Grin

Hopefully. Unlike the last keyboard guy, she knows how to handle her liquor.
