Gordon Comstock Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 HOOKERS & BLOW, the project formed by longtime GUNS N' ROSES keyboardist Dizzy Reed and QUIET RIOT guitarist Alex Grossi, has been hitting the studio to record a covers album, due later this year via Golden Robot Records. Today sees the arrival of the LP's first single, an inspired cover of the Eddie Money classic "Shakin'". HOOKERS & BLOW delivers the track with all the soul, honesty and depth of the original but in its own fashion, dripping with immaculate musicianship and flawless vocals. Says Grossi: "We are all huge Eddie Money fans, and actually got to know him personally over the years. He was an amazing talent and an equally amazing and hysterically funny person who touched so many people. He always got a kick out of this project whenever I mentioned it to him, so this being the first release off the record seemed like a perfect tribute to him. Rest in peace, Eddie." Grossi continues: "We have actually found the perfect record label in Golden Robot Records — they actually get 'it' as far as what HOOKERS & BLOW is all about, so we are tracking an album of some of our favorite tunes, with some of our favorite people and just having fun with it. We can't wait to share some of what we have planned for this thing." HOOKERS & BLOW's album is being produced by Alistair James, who recently worked with Joe Perry, Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp on the latest HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES disc. "Shakin'" recording lineup: Dizzy Reed (GUNS N' ROSES) - Vocals/KeyboardsAlex Grossi (QUIET RIOT) - Guitars/VocalsJohnny Kelly (TYPE O NEGATIVE, DANZIG) - Drums/VocalsNadja Reed - Vocals 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Completely different situations to be fair. Dizzy has no expectations of this having any major success, GNR and their label have expectations that they want to hit. Now, it's beyond a joke that theres no new gnr material officially released, duh! But what can ya do! Dizzys record will come and go like a tumbleweed in an old western, a gnr record should be a loud Harley coming through a small town at 3am, vroom!! Fernando you may use my excellent marketing idea (for a small fee). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Fan Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Dont know why the band is waiting until the end of the year to have it done. If GNR's tour dates for this year have all been postponed/cancelled then i dont see what elsze Dizzy is going to be doing with no tour schedule. Can see this played on radio if radio plays hookers and blow material and im sure some LA club dates but that would be it. Not the sort of release juggernaut im expecting GNR to do once something new is on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildStar Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Any new music from a GNR member is all good. The Dizzy solo album was great. Cressfallen and Mother Theresa are fantastic songs. This is a fun cover. I'm looking forward to the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gibberish is mostly not mine, Axl said some silly shit that I thought everyone already knew by heart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
