I've seen Melissa perform twice now with GNR and I've watched countless videos. I can't hear what she's adding to the sound. Can anyone point me to a YouTube video where her sound cuts through?
That's probably because of the sound mix. The other instruments are louder. |

That's probably because of the sound mix. The other instruments are louder. That brings the question.. What's the point if you can't hear it? I know she probably does the sampling (like in Civil War) and orchestra on songs like November Rain and This I Love. She's audible there. |

She has so much potential. |

That's probably because of the sound mix. The other instruments are louder. You can hear her on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mwh-_oNKaNwAnd also the PC intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZUE8ArZ3ckAnd she adds some keys with similar tone to the guitars in songs like Rocket Queen, Better.. |

You guys are right about the mix! I'm listening to the audio from Axl's in-ear monitor while watching a video of the live performance of Paradise City. I have them synced perfectly and when listening to the live video's audio, the keyboard is completely inaudible. It still raises the question as to which keyboard player is playing the keyboard part though.

That sucks. I would love to hear her input on songs like WTTJ, Mr. Brownstone or SCOM. She could play acoustic guitar on songs like Patience or Used To Love Her. |

I'm not a musician so I don't have the first clue as to what she of Pittman did when it comes to performing ...
I know they are really not needed for non Chinese songs ...
But anyway Melissa is a lot nicer to look at than Mother Goose was !

Hahaha. Big time. She also really seems into it up there. I think she's a very welcome addition. |

Must have been brought in more for vocals than synth, etc.

She does add a new (better) dimension to the backing vocals. She and Duff together sounds really good. Pay attention to the high pitched backing she does together with Axl on Chinese Democracy, very similar to the album version (where Axl does the high pitched backing). |

I'm watching Ford Field, Detroit, MI and she's very audible in Better. It's not only that she gets screen time as well. I like her very much. A hockey team also needs other players who may not be in the limelight all the time. But being a team means that there must be other members to make it whole if you want to win a trophy. Surely, they could make without her but it doesn't mean she doesn't belong. |

maybe some of the stuff she is playing is just for axl to hear. like a private performance for him so he can get into it more. you could hear her more clearly from his in hear monitor recordings right?
im half joking. i think she seems cool though.

She's pointless...there's nothing she's doing that can't be done by someone off-stage. Hell, I'd rather see Teddy Zig Zag.

Why? Because he looked a bit less silly than Strawberry Shortcake w/headphones. |
