ShadowOfTheWave Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I don't think the piano was needed basically everywhere. I think it ruins the chorus of PTU. And on an off note it really fucks up Think About You live. But I don't blame him because these can't be his decisions. And there's nothing wrong with Axl wanting to include him on everything since he's a member of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaider Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I don't have anything against pianos or keyboards as longs as they fit in the overall feeling of the songs. But I do have something against trumpets and saxophones in a rock band (Move to the city live anyone?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONEZY Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Dizzy didn't ruin the albums, but he was not needed. He was just filler. And it shows that Axl was running things his way, the other guys didn't want a keyboard player. But Axl demanded it. I would have loved to hear the albums w/out Dizzy. Would have been much better in my opinion. Not to mention he looked silly headbanging while he played his keyboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzygirl Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I don't like pianos and keyboards in rock bands. That's it. I don't blame Dizzy, any other person would be also indifferent to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Axl is the GN'R pianist. Dizzy is merely a hack that copied Axl's shit on tape. And he doesn't even play on the majority of UYI tracks. I have no idea why he had to be called a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) And now he plays piano on songs like nightrain live really Edited April 30, 2013 by Gibbo 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 He was pretty useless on the albums. Axl still played piano on the big guns and anything Dizzy did on the others could have easily been performed by Axl himself. Have Dizzy on tour? Of course, but technically he wasn't needed for the albums themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 He should of been on tour so Axl could play Estranged but, why make him a member of Guns N' Roses. I mean they didn't make Teddy Andreadis or Tracey and Roberta 'Guns N' Roses's members', did they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadcaplaughs Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 The whole section of fans who whine about Dizzy are the same ones that go on and on about how the band should have ended when Steven Adler left and if he had stayed on, the Use Your Illusion albums would have been "raw" and "have a sense of swing." Hell, I'd even grant credence to the Steven argument since he was an original member. Point is, everyone hating Dizzy has been revisionist history. When Use Your Illusion I and II came out and Dizzy was in the credits, no one cared. When he got his moment on tour to play on "Estranged" and play bongos for almost every other song, no one gave a shit. Yet when Slash writes in his book that no one really wanted Dizzy, all of a sudden he was the second sign (after Steven leaving) of the end of GN'R.I'll let you in on something, Dizzy Reed made ZERO impact on the course of Guns N Roses or the sound of the albums. If he hadn't have been there, those parts would have been recorded by something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgunblues1978 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Fact: Dizzy contributed far more to GnR than Gilby Clarke did artistically, even if you only count the UYI days. Why doesn't anyone bitch about Gilby being made an official member of GnR? Just because he replaced an existing member?Dizzy did the piano on the outro to Locomotive, did he not? Is that not a pretty cool instrumental piece of the album? He co-wrote some of the better material on CD as well. I'm pretty sure people just single him out because he was "Axl's guy."

Lim666 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 because:- keyboard = no hard rock as they've started in the 1st place.- the songs just sound weaker!- he provenly is just a lame Axl's ass kisser - "recently" (again!) proven by his embarassing HOF behaviour- he is just uncool.- end of story.

EvH Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Live renditions of Estranged with Axl on the piano and a minimalistic light show would have been great. Never got why Axl prefered to run around during that song with Chizzy Reed taking the piano duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Axl should have always been on the piano for Estranged. So much more personal and cathartic when he use the piano as an extension of himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
