Where does it say she's an actual member?? The article just droned on and on about her being a woman who can do things women have been doing for 30+ years

While I highly doubt she's in the partnership, yeah I'd consider her a member. She's in Pitman's slot.

Fortus performed in the band for six years before appearing as a dog whistle on the album and people considered him a member. I'm not holding her to a different standard. She's onstage...she's in.

2011 started out the worst he has ever sounded.  I saw them twice later in 2011 and he was on fire.  For it to start out at the point he seems at now, which is at LEAST as good as he ever was in 13/14, I'd say is a good sign of things to come.

She's talented at what she does, she's very accomplished and successful, she has ties to GN'R in some manner.  All of this is factual and lends to her spot making sense, BUT... I mean, come on we're all thinking it, there's a GIRL in Guns N' Fuckin' Roses???  I guess there's no way to completely escape the circus act factor.

Lets remember this is a warm up show plus he has 2 months  to lose some weight and work with a vocal coach hopefully hires sebastian bach guy again.

Didnt he just let the crowd say that line?

I think he sounds and looks in good shape, stark contrast to the states he's been in starting back nugnr shows after a hiatus. He gets better as the tour progresses as well so this is a great start from him.
