WhazUp Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) I like Dizzy, definitely not a keyboard virtuoso or anything but he plays Estranged live to this day really well and captures the vibe Axl laid down with his own piano playing for the studio version of the song, and did some cool stuff in the band. I always liked his little solo on the Tokyo/Live Era version of Move to the City Edited May 15, 2019 by WhazUp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post zigzagbigbag Posted May 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2019 To date I still don’t get all the hate for Dizzy. After all these years he still places himself in the background and is doing nothing but a proper job. He is not screaming for fame or attention like other people (would) do being in his shoes. Indeed, he is no guy with rockstar charisma BUT in no way he pretends to be such a guy and that is why he gets my respect. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy is just an easy target, he got the gig because of Axl's loyalty, but then he ends up playing on only half of the songs, and by now he's the longest serving member, yet most people still forget about him, so it's easy to poke fun at that. I'm sure he's a nice guy and good at what he does. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaguns1982 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Didn’t read. I can guess: ”yeah man... axl writes great tunes” one guy who who happened to be in the right place at the right time in Hollywood. Adds nothing to true GNR. fuck off dizzy, you’d be living in a trailer park if it weren’t for axl forcing you on everyone in the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I don't really mind Dizzy. He's just kinda there for me. I just couldn't care less about his feelings on the reunion is all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame him there. It's like the drummer for Spinal Tap said "I can do without the rock n roll if I've got the sex and drugs." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadskis Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) To my surprise Dizzy actually has passable songs (not that much overdosed with keyboards and with rather nice guitar soloing), some of which are at least not worse than half of anything on ChiDem or even better: Edited May 22, 2019 by tadskis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
default_ Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I have nothing to say about Dizzy at all cause there's nothing to say, really. GNR didnt release enough material to allow us to have a musical opinion on him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I have no problem with Dizzy.. I just look at him a as a touring musician. I think he a semi important part of the live show. I don't really think he needs to be out there for every song and definitely not playing keyboards on Nightrain.. I also think he is perfectly capable of adding any extra piano/keyboard and "layers" without having a second keyboardist on stage.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't given it a spin yet, though. Well that's my main issue with Dizzy. I do think he's a decent keyboardist, he's just nothing... exciting, I guess. In my eyes he's totally benign... there are others who need to be removed first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like his piano part on Nightrain but you're right, it's not necessary and he doesn't need to be there for all the songs. Although he does do a bunch of backing vocals.
