ChristmasFnatic Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Or was he neutral and just didnt talk about Slash in Axl's presence? Always wondered this, cuz he is the one who stayed with Axl from the UYI lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Thinking about Slash and Dizzy seeing eachother again for the first time makes me cringe. Awkward handshake... I don't think they had a relationship period. He also made some little jabs at VR back in the day: "I say good luck, and I hope they have a good time — and they should enjoy it 'cause Izzy'll probably quit in a couple of weeks," the 39-year-old Reed told United Press International. "I think some of those guys really go complacent," Dizzy continued. Edited February 13, 2016 by Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Just wait until you see a pic of Axl and Slash with Duff and/or Izzy maybe smiling or playing a Gn'R slot machine . Let's see if that shit won't hit you in the feels. Or maybe I'm just sentimental when it comes to Guns, but these people were not in direct contact for nearly 20 years. It's been months since that Swedish Slash interview. Slash is still in Guns. Probably talked and met by now. It's cool on more than one level. I hope it lasts for at least enough time to close the final chapter on a high note with an album and a good tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly though he played on It's Five O' Clock Somewhere! Edited February 13, 2016 by DieselDaisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Towelie Posted February 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2016 I suspect Dizzy probably won't even meet Slash until the night of the first show, when he crawls out from Axl's ass for three hours to play the piano. He will then crawl back up after the encore. Isn't that where Dizzy lives now? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Dizzy only cares for Axl and Slash doesn't really care for Dizzy so it'll be a neutral relationship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) What I found curious was that Duff mentioned Dizzy only two or three times in his first book and called him a ''touring musician''. In a way it does make sense seeing as he played on less than half of the songs on UYI, but still... he was considered to be an official member as far as I know of. I don't know about Slash and Dizzy... he did play on the Snakepit record, which was kinda a friends project to begin with, so I'm sure they got along at the time.

DieselDaisy Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I have a television spot/interview of Guns (minus Axl) on a boating incursion in Greek waters - this was during the 1993 Skin N' Bones leg. Dizzy seems like a regular parting member of the posse. Ironically he probably was in contact with Slash more than Axl on the Illusion tour, Axl traveling separate. It is weird because you would perhaps believe he was more a member of the Slash camp at this point, factoring in that he was in Snakepit later and did 'Magic Carpet Ride' with Slash. But as we know he remained loyal to Axl. Originally of course Slash was against his appointment. You have to remember that he had been a regular boozer when GN'R were living and rehearsing at the Gardner flea pit. His band were in the rehearsal space next door. They used to buy crates of cheap beer and sell it to the local lowlifes and have this massive party in the alleyways after the clubs had shut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged1 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Duff nailed it- Dizzy is merely a "touring musician". He's arguably on equal footing as Pitman in regards to relevance. He's a "NuGun" as far as most people are concerned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash doesn't want keyboard players. Fact is Axl is responsible for the many paychecks Dizzy Reed has received for hitting those keys. Friendship is nice, loyalty too, but money can get you ass, coke, weed, and alcohol. Edited February 13, 2016 by Rovim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why was it weird that Dizzy Reed sided with the man who gave him money to play keys? you say one thing and then you say but as we know. So if we know it's not weird.

Tom-Ass Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I could always take Dizzy or leave him.. I always thought he was kind of a weirdo once I saw him on those Making The Fn Videos.. As for contributions to the band, he has his purpose on a few songs.. Gn'R were perfectly fine without him during the Appetite Lies era though.

Everyone knows that song was nothing prior to Dizzy adding those crucial parts to the song. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His playing improves those songs. Like I said, he did have a purpose on a few songs.. What ones I am not sure. Most people seem to say the Illusions albums would have been better if they were a little more raw and stripped down. I think they could have been fine without him or even better. Axl is a damn good piano player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to invest more time in grasping the real internet you, to feel the vibe and just know what the fuck you're talking about and that does mean grasping the subjunctive moods of all your shitposts. We can try this in French and maybe we'll capture a mood we can both grasp and be cool with so we can properly discuss Dizzy Reed and loyalty.
