Now Dizzy Reed is a whole different story! we all know how many cool records and songs Mr Dizzy Reed wrote! Dizzy Reed, the guy who keeps the fire burning for rock n roll!

AxlRoseCDII Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Guys, how could you forget...Dizzy co-wrote the smash hit and masterpiece, Silkworms. It's so good that Axl is saving it for CDII 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvanG Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I seriously read this thread topic for a second as ''Dizzy Reed quits''' Would have been a good way to start the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 OP had my attention when I first thought it read "Dizzy Reed out" or "cut". Oh well...and as far as his 'cut'/pay, I'm guessing that other than the big 3, everyone else is on some retainer contract deal. With the pay scale order going- Dizzy, Frank/Richard, Melissa. And the big 3 are making the 3mil/show (as speculated). I don't know if that is before or after merch sales and paying all the behind the scenes people or what...no clue. Or does the promoter pay all those fees and the big 3 truly get the big 3 mil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They prob get the fee plus merch sales, and a smaller % of the net if the show is profitable. Gotta pay the other band members, tour managers, people on payroll, vendors, etc, Then you have agents, management for each member, etc... lots of hands in the pie. Then you get taxed... It requires accountants on tour the entire time. Gotta pay them too Edited March 17, 2017 by guitarpatch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Cavalerra Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I wonder how much Jarmo the confetti cannoneer got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooker Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) I hope Dizzy isn't hard up on cash... just because I don't find him overly needed in the band, he still tours and does his thing. Didn't he get divorced in the recent past? That could hurt his bottom line. Edited March 18, 2017 by cooker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious as to the status of Dizzy .The guy's been a silent loyal follower to Axl for 25 years or so. Surely he must be higher up the pecking order than say Melissa or Frank? He's on the same salary as Melissa, Richard and frank... I almost guarantee it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all these years he has hopefully received a raise or two. 163k or more a year to tour stadiums across the world sounds like a pretty cool gig to me lol. No shit! I'd be happy with that too! Traveling all over the world on someone else's dime and playing music. Sign me up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoop Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 He's gotta make more than Melissa. The dude's been there forever at this point. Not that he really has any better options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I won't be surprised if they think Melissa is a more "qualified" musician so her pay would be equal or more than Dizzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrose87 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) The main point i was trying to get at with my origianl post was that for a guy thats been in the band since 89/90 as an "official" memeber and played on every record since the illusions could simply be a contract worker in the band during this tour and also in the last 10-15 years. Would he have any extra influence on band decisions etc. Edited March 18, 2017 by blackrose87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
