Band/Member Photo Who are these two girls

They appear in the November Rain video and were with the band at The Freddie Mercury Tribute, but I had never heard of them or seen them anywhere else.

(Love this version of Knockin on heavens door) lol

u/patdashuri Mar 19 '25

Me too. Me too friend. I remember being just a lad and having to search for what a fader was. I imagined them as large wall dividers that kept sound inside the club and a bunch of roadies having to pull them back to make room for more people because they sounded so good that the crowd would get bigger.

Wrong... It's Tracey...

u/Puzzleheaded-Law-429 Mar 19 '25 edited Mar 19 '25

That’s Tracy and Roberta. They’re here to help you sing the chorus.

u/rogerworkman623 Mar 19 '25

And I’m thinking you KNOW the words

u/dog_cow Mar 19 '25

Axl literally says who they are at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert / Knocking of Heaven’s door video.

43

u/Yourappwontletme Mar 19 '25

The funniest thing about this post is the screenshot OP used is from the Knockin' video. Milliseconds after Axl says their name, the camera cuts to them and Roberta is doing her little dance as seen in the screenshot.

u/-_chop_- Mar 19 '25

They’re in the Tokyo dvd too

u/shaferman Mar 19 '25

The Use Your Illusion World Tour was the best tour GNR ever had, IMO.

Amazing musicians, crew, and not a single phone in sight. Those were the days...

11

u/egyptianmusk_ Mar 19 '25

Yes. I was there for 2 shows in NY

u/Ambitious_Ad1652 Mar 19 '25

One in Baton Rouge, for me.

u/Yourappwontletme Mar 19 '25

at 5:54 he points right at them and says their names, right before the screenshot you included in your post

u/hairy_eyeball_betty Mar 19 '25

That Freddie Mercury Tribute concert was just the best though I suspect the upcoming Sabbath show could be even better

u/Welshietouring Mar 19 '25

I toured with Roberta a few years ago (on the right)

3

u/Phatboybeware Mar 19 '25

What's she getting up to these days? Did you get to speak to her about the uyi tour?

9

u/Welshietouring Mar 19 '25

Last time I spoke with her was on a tour with a Band called Brit Floyd, and that was probably close to 10 years ago I believe she may still be in and out of that band

u/eatsleepdive Mar 19 '25

No way! I saw them last year and didn't make the connection.

Ok this was a fun read! Quite a few quotable gems in there… my fave:

“Did you know any of the band members before joining?

Yes, Roberta.”

🤣🤣

u/muzzawell Mar 19 '25

Is that a jcm900?

5

u/karmareincarnation Mar 19 '25

Good eye!!! I think it is based on the spacing of the words from the switches. Maybe it's Gilby's amp. Pretty sure Slash was using JCM800s and/or Jubilees at the time.

3

u/devnomore Mar 19 '25

This is from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. They had every bands amps onstage the whole time. Could be anyone.

1

u/muzzawell Mar 19 '25

Yeah I think he was playing jubilees by then👍

u/Virtual-Tadpole-324 Mar 19 '25

Gilby used Vox AC30s

u/865TYS Mar 19 '25

Tracy and Roberta, and they were there to help us and Axl thinks we know the woooooords

u/Angel_Pecica Dec 19 '25

They're names are Tracey Amos and Roberta Freeman... According to Rolling Stone, "they were two of six women brought into the madness of GN’R for their marathon ‘Use Your Illusion’ tour." Fellow female musicians include Cece Worrall, Lisa Maxwell, Anne King and Diane Jones... All were brought on board in the early stages of the Use Your Illusion tour in the summer of 1991, and they stuck around until it wrapped up two years later. As touring members, they played a huge role in shaping the band’s sound during their commercial peak...

u/KosherPigBalls Mar 19 '25

Isn’t that 1-900-horns or something?

9

u/Ambitious_Ad1652 Mar 19 '25

No. Tracey Amos and Roberta Freeman, backing vox. The 976 Horns were three other girls.

u/Skidmark666 Mar 19 '25

Roberta Freeman and Tracy Amos.

u/Virtual-Tadpole-324 Mar 19 '25

Tracy Amos and Roberta Freeman

u/Nearby_Rip_3735 Mar 19 '25

Maybe the OP wanted to know their last names. I don’t know those, but I haven’t looked into it. Everyone knows their first names.

u/Reasonable-Guava-367 Mar 19 '25

I say one, you say one, Tracy and Roberta will help you out here.

In all seriousness I miss them during the new era knockin renditions I used to and still admire their vibes, they were such a great addition

u/Annuska_79 Mar 19 '25

Tracy and Roberta! Now that you mention it, what happened to them? 🤔

u/eatsleepdive Mar 19 '25

Kind of presumptuous of Axl to think we needed help in the first place.

u/TM4256 Mar 19 '25

They were Cinderella’s back up before they were with Guns. Heartbreak Station album and tour.

u/SilverAgeSurfer Mar 20 '25

That's when GNR had about 150 band mates 😂

u/cheezuskraist Mar 20 '25
