Amir Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) While I think he's a bit of a twat (remember reading review of a solo show he did recently where he wasn't getting much response from the tiny audience, and he said "I've been doing this bullshit my entire life!"), he does have writing credits on TWAT, which is one of my all-time favourite songs, and IRS, which I really like.I'd be curious to know what his writing contributions are. Only found out recently that Paul Tobias plays piano on TWAT while Dizzy just plays keyboards. Edited January 23, 2014 by Amir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 So there will be cupcakes in the chat, after all... :rofl-lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Dizzy will give the usual answer like "we're working on it" or "soon" he's not going to give us anything worth while, it's an excuse to talk to a "rockstar" nothing more. I like his contributions to the records (UYI I & II, not sure what he did on CD) but he's not going to say or do anything that might rock the boat or endanger his cushy job.Should GnR be using these chats as a way to generate fan interest, yes! will they? No! each chat should have at least one new bit of info regarding future plans, anything less than that is a waste of time unless you're talking to Axl or maybe! Del/Beta as those 3 are likely to be the only one's that have actual information of interest to fans paying $15 dollars for a chat.I'll read through the transcript at the end but I doubt anything interesting will be talked about and I doubt he'll reveal any grand plans for GnR, the best we can hope for is an update on his solo album... I mean, I'm sure it's fine (I've never felt the urge to listen to any of it) but it's kinda like RHCP and John Frusicante, yes he does solo material but I don't care about it as a RHCP fan... when I'm paying for a GnR chat, I don't want the focus on side projects, hot sauces, gig bags, Ashba swag™... just Guns n roses road stories, tour info and album info.

I'm not a big RHCP fan but Frusciante's solo stuff is amazing, check out The Empyrean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoking Baby Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The Empyrean is better than RHCP's whole catalog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangoSkank Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have a feeling that even though they have a South American Tour scheduled, there will be people begging Dizzy to "Come to... (insert South American country here, including those already with concerts scheduled)".Expect these to be answered:favorite/hardest song to playfavorite foodfavorite audiencecountry he would like to visit, he hasn't been to yethow axl really isExpect these to be ignored:plans for the new albumvegas dvd (not that i care)relationship with slashreunionwhy he didn't attend the HOFIt will be classic Dizzy.Exactly this.And it's for this reason that I'll be skipping this chat. Cool to talk with Dizzy, but, really, it'll be a chat with a million people trying to ask questions that I already know the answers to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Enough. This isn't a HOF thread, this isn't an Axl vs Slash thread, so knock it off and let's stay on topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kever20 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 6 pages an no ones mentioned the last living slut book. Ask him if the baby story is true and if he really is an asshole.I was gonna post that. How fucked was that whole situation? I posted here about his attitude a while ago (as told by the author) about when he was flipping out about GNR management shorting him thousands of dollars, but nobody could verify that, nor would I expect them to. Someone-we-know said part of the trove of docs he obtained had detailed emails about band member salary disputes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
