NEWS/ Guns N' Roses Reunion Concert Draws Many Stars, Including Bradley Cooper, Who Brought His Mom
For Bradley Cooper, the Guns N' Roses reunion concert Friday was a family affair.
Most of the classic lineup of the legendary rock band reunited onstage for the first time in more than 22 years Friday, playing a last-minute show at the Troubadour club in West Hollywood in front of more than 250 people, including celebs such as Cooper, Kate Hudson, Jim Carrey, Chris Brown, David Arquette and Emily Ratajkowski.
Cooper brought along a special date—his mother, Gloria Campano. The two were photographed driving and walked near the venue. Cooper has often brought his mom to celebrity events.
Guns N' Roses' surprise gig will be followed by a previously announced North American stadium tour, which starts on June 23 in Detroit and runs through August, and a headlining set at the 2016 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Annual Festival in California later this month.
The packed crowd cheered as frontman Axl Rose appeared onstage along with guitarist Slash, with whom he had feuded for years, bassist Duff McKagan and keyboardist Dizzy Reed, part of a classic '80s lineup, as well as guitarist Richard Fortus, who joined the band in 2001, drummer Frank Ferrer, who joined in 2006, and second keyboardist and newcomer Melissa Reese, according to multiple reports.
While cameras and other recording devices were reportedly banned, some fans managed to sneak in photos and videos and post them online.
Ratajkowski posted a video on her Instagram page.
"Is this real life? #gunsnroses #slash," she wrote.
Guns N' Roses performed songs hit tracks such as "Welcome to the Jungle," "Sweet Child of Mine," "Mr. Brownstone," "It's So Easy," "Rocket Queen," all from their 1987 debut album Appetite for Destruction. The band had often performed at the Troubadour in the mid '80s and the group is said to have been discovered there.
Guns N' Roses also performed its hit covers of Paul McCartney and WINGS' "Live and Let Die" and Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" as well as "Chinese Democracy" and "Better" from the group's 2008 album Chinese Democracy, marking the first time Slash, who left the band in the mid '90s, has played those tracks live.
"Do you know where you are?" Rose wailed. "You're gonna diiiiiiiiiiie."

Apparently some of those videos we were watching were recorded by Kate Hudson.

Feb 26th: This is a nostalgia tour, please don't mention those who are there the last 20 fkg years [sic] oh god no! ...(a money grab) FU.
...And the comments he was replying too?

What was the point of bumping a 9 year old thread? Things were completely different.

What's mind-boggling is that Pitman, having gone along for so long, decides he's significant enough to be name-dropped in the reunion, instead of just gearing up for a tour.
It does look like Pit's been reprimanded. If Melissa's still in Vegas, it's starting to look permanent.
Maybe those 17,000 likes got the better of him.
Well that's what bls & I were trying to understand. It's crazy. Whereabouts in the breakdown did Pitmans comments come exactly? Was he already aware he was on the way out, or at least on shaky ground, when he made those comments?
& when did Melessia get the gig?
That thing that was signed for charity recently, was her's the only name absent from those who were on stage last night?
Pitman's comments towards MYGNR fans was around 2 months ago. He was at the time the one who put together the videos hyping the shows just before. Shortly afterwards it was announced he was working on Tool's next album.

I really hope people don't start taking shots at her, if she tour with the band.
She worked with Pitman, Frank, Brain and Bucket and presumably Axl. So it's still from the same group of people. They're obviously still playing Chinese Democracy tracks.

Some people are saying this Melissa chick is married to Brain.
They're a composing team.
According to her site... she was involved with Chinese Democracy.
#2057 Re: Guns N' Roses » Secret show: April 1, L.A.? » 553 weeks ago
No one is noticing the irony that nothing has really changed with the set-list, except DTJ. They're even still play Chinese Democracy tracks that certain members were convinced would be dropped.

Why would they ditch Pitman and replace him with this girl?
Worked on Chinese Democracy. Look back on previous page.

If that's a guy I guess they hired a transvestite....
Some are claiming she's http://www.melissareesemusic.com/about/ who happens to be a friend of Brain.
"Melissa formally partnered with drummer “Brain” to form “Brain and Melissa”, a composing team. Since that time, the duo has put out 2 major game themes for Sony Playstation, several pieces of original music for Playstation HOME, Mod Nation, Twisted Metal X, and were also excited to score their first full length major Playstation series release Infamous 2 - which was nominated for “Outstanding Achievement in Original Composition” by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS awards). The pair were also thrilled to be asked back to score Infamous’ 3rd installment entitled: Second Son which was released in March 2014. They have also been at work on other fronts - having produced several remixes and original tracks for the new upcoming album of multi-platinum selling girl-group TLC and Guns n’ Roses (from Chinese Democracy)."
