The ads for this are all over Spotify. It's weird that GNR is acting like a real band again.

Oh my god...I was concerned about the board filling up with not-so-deep thinking, overly giddy fan boys and girls who basically become Axl/GnR yes men.

Here's the problem for me....this whole reunion just took way too long to happen for me and I won't just be happy with whatever they throw out just bc it's the original half of the line up.

This choice for yet another completely random band member to serve in a role that I don't even really notice is absolutely nothing to me.

This, just like everything about this reunion thus far has been about one thing: CASH

The choice of this woman to perform this duty is nothing different - she's probably very cheap.

When will people stop mistaking scantily clad women on a stage as artists or musicians. At least Traci and Roberta added something to the music that I could easily understand.

How long will it be before people start making fun of this band despite the reunion status? At least the Rolling Stones tried to create new music.

Well, so we are accurate, Melissa has "published/released" material.

Here's a start.

I already linked that info... Which are burned cd-rs self released...

Damn, her wiki already claims her as a gnr member and signed to Geffen.. that was fast

I wonder if she was on third guitar would people still bash the 3 guitar line up...

While it's not happening ever, I doubt there would be many complaints If one of THE key players on the CD project came back. No one complains about the current members still in who basically did nothing on the album.

Interesting reactions to Melissa joining from the various fan sites.  Misogyny jokes or referring to her as a whore, that doesn't fly so now we gotta aim it at her discography while forgetting that when people such as Fortus joined, a handful of men like Nesquick lined up to lick his boots, run his fan club, and proclaim him GNR'S best guitarist and the band's  secret weapon of the 21st century.

Check his discography when he joined. It's not very impressive. Check Finck's when he joined. Check Frank's who was claimed by some to be the next John Bonham after ONE show.

Yet in 2016....how dare anyone welcome a young, talented woman into the band who actually has ties to two former members.

Other than the fact she's beautiful and happens to be a woman, there is no difference  in her joining from those listed above.

Did you see them during the Ashba years or were you still boycotting them?

Ha!!! I refuse to acknowledge the Ashba/Bumble years. I'm just going to attribute the last 23 years to an April Fools joke gone wrong, lol.
