Randy Lahey Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Who is the better keyboardist: Dizzy Reed or Chris Pitman? I would say it is hands down Chris Pitman, and for the life of me I can't figure out why Axl keeps two keyboard players around. Seriously, there's no need for another keyboard player when you've got a setup like the one below. Edited May 24, 2012 by Randy Lahey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NewGNRnOldGNR Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) I like Pitman a lot more. As a musician & character. But he'd probably be too drunk to handle SOD etc., he'd rather lurk behind the scenes sipping vodka & pressing buttons to initiate brilliance.

Silent Jay Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 pitman is brillant, and sexband tapes, his band, is very original. You think he's useless in the band ? If The World, Madagascar or Silkworms are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Seriously people, give SexTapes a listen, it's pretty fucking cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Pitman co-wrote Madagascar and If The World with Axl. That's more than Dizzy has ever contributed in his 20 plus years of service to GNR. I wish Axl would fire Dizzy and let Pitman have more of a role in the shows. I'm sure Mother Goose could come up with something far more entertaining than Dizzy's awful piano version of Baba O'Riley. I would love watching Chris pay homage to the great Jam Hammer by playing the Miami Vice theme as an intro for If The World.

Georgy Zhukov Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I feel so bad for Dizzy whenever he does his solo spot. I mean do some classical shit, that would have been impressive. Or a jazz piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Pitman seems drunk all the time. Listen to any of the proshots from the 2011 leg, his backing vocals sound waaaaay off.But ya, Sextapes is pretty good. And Lusk as well.

CoBrA2168 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Sorry guys, huge dizzy fan here. Not that I dislike pitman, but if I to pick, I'd say keep dizzy. In my opinion he's a more talented pianist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Broskirose Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Let's be honest here. Dizzy is very mediocre. He is not by any stretch of the imagination, a great player. Very sloppy and generally boring imo.Chris on the other hand is a real musician. I'd take his creative direction over Dizzy's generic playing any day. Sometimes the little background fills and tricks make the song. Chris Pitman is a legend. Who can forget his epic Catcher In The Rye keyboard solo in the demo (which was unfortunatly drowned out by Dizzy and Bumblefoot in the final mix)? Pitman for life.

Gordon Comstock Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Pitman is the better all-around musician. He plays the 12-string on ITW, does he not? I think he plays bass too. Maybe not on the actual album, but I'm fairly sure he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the question is: who is the better keyboardist? it doesn't really matter if he play his nose on a 12 string guitar or whatever...

There are tons of great musicians who never leave their bedroom. What's your point? I take by that logic, you're a big Justin Bieber fan then, eh?
