You obviously haven't looked at any of Nita's posts on social media!
no, i don't do social media at all so haven't seen that stuff. I was more referring to this forum.

You can (& should) check out the Social Media feed on the Homepage. Steve Hunter posted some Sweet licks & Nita's was funny! :8): Minion Monday & Tattoo Tuesday are interesting also.
No joining involved, except here. Thank's Si :clap:

'She asked me why the singer's pronouns were they/them
I said "Listen baby, you really wouldn't understand"'

Wow man, all of this gender-bending is just so hip and modern. :yawn:

Who knows maybe Lovato's guitar pop turn will inspire a few of "these kids today" to find their way into something a bit more challenging.

He's obviously referring to his solo band. And you don't get cool points by calling him "Vince."
That's his name...the original band is Alice Cooper...
His name is Alice Cooper, he legally changed it in 1974. Do you really think you are doing the surviving members of the original band any favours by trying to create division between them and Alice?

Was looking at Demi’s tour and tickets. She is playing the exact same venue as Alice did in Charlotte NC most recently. I don’t think Nita will be playing to more folks, just maybe more diverse.

Exactly what I said over a month ago:

I don't know any more than anyone else about what's going on, but did want to point out that Nita's statement actually only said that she wouldn't be on Alice's fall tour. It's entirely possible that she could end up back in the band after whatever it is that she's doing now. As I said, I know nothing, so I'm not saying it's probable, just saying that her statement left that possibility---in fact, her whole future---open.

As I said before I hope all the best for her. I hope she won't be disappointed as she talks about being a sidekick in the interviews etc. As utterly awesome as Jennifer Batten was (is), she was never a sidekick for MJ. She did get her spot light with him during Beat it every night, and that was pretty much it.

Batten, I believe, is free for hire btw Alice ;)

As I said in the post above yours, this isn't a "grass is greener" case. She never said she was gone for good. Her initial announcement was that she would not be touring with Alice this fall. That was it. But the "news" sites ran with it, ignoring what she said, as did most fans. She may or may not play with Alice again in the future. Who knows? But from the beginning, she never said she wouldn't.

Anyone who's seen videos of the shows so far can see that Nita is a featured part of Demi's show. She's not just an unknown guitarist back in the shadows.

Ryan was gone for a few years as well. It’s only been a few weeks since Nita flew. I think it’s part of the biz to have change - especially when talking about AC. I expect things to go well for Nita, regardless of what happens. If she flies and never comes back, then cool. If she comes back, then that’s cool too.

Maybe her Solo efforts will place her among the Guitarists she admires.
What's the harm in exploration? As long a she can get side gigs with prominent artists.
That will continue to provide resources in that direction. (Re: Nils Lofgren)
We'll welcome her back with open arms but if not,
I'm sure that she's made an impression on all of the SickThings. :8):

Personally i could never understand why anyone would want to leave the best gig in the World. Kane has the gig for 5 weeks, let’s see what happens after that.

Steven, I have no problem in saying that you're quite capable should the situation arise!
Sickness, a fill in here or there could net you that great gig! Good Luck! :8):
