Popular Post sidman69 Posted February 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2018 We sat down with Dizzy earlier this week to talk GNR, his solo album and embarassing moments on stage. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmenjello Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Just finished watching this. I really appreciate the effort you guys put into this whole thing, but that interview kinda felt like a wasted opportunity. Lots of questions were redundant and same old same old (sightseeing during tours, best city to play in). There could’ve been lots of interesting things you could’ve asked dizzy about nitl. Too bad..

Birdman Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 My guess is certain topics were not allowed to be discussed or the guys are trying to build trust so they can secure more interviews within the GNR camp. I don’t think Dizzy would want to be the spokesperson for details about NITL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlinkafayette Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Great job getting Dizzy on Sid A few questions I'd have wanted to know about. What was it like to go thru the st Louis and Montreal shows on the UYI tour. And ANYTHING about the never ending Chinese Democracy sessions. I literally can't believe there wasn't a single question about that. Overall, great to have just gotten that done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alejandro GNR Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 You should probably interview Sebastian Bach...he will talk abour CD unheard songs at least. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnfnrs1972 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hardly anyone wants to hear about Dizzy unless he is talking about a new GNR album. Nothing to see here, moving right along. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more reason to throw some questions into the ring that are interesting and worthwile. That was a big opportunity. Even slash talked about nitl, and he is going area51 since he is back. I’m sure dizzy could’ve told you how it felt like to be on stage with slash again, how it was to be in the rehearsal room for the first time and how his relationship is with him or how his work with melissa is, etc. Edited February 28, 2018 by Carmenjello 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I didn't expect much from this interview because what Dizzy cares about the most now (undrrstandably) is promoting his album. He probably wouldn't want to answer many GnR related questions. I'm looking forward to the interview with Youth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeneral Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I swear EVERY TIME you guys announce a new special guest I'm praying to god for it to be Sebastian Bach. I don't think it's impossible to get him on. But I enjoyed the interview, Dizzy seems really down to earth. And that indian food story was hilarious lol I can understand not asking 'deep' questions, you want him to talk good to other GNR members about it and not be like "Yeah and then they asked me to show them the text messages you sent me!" Btw, did you ask him about Axl quoting one of your videos? If so, what did he say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Gunner Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 appreciate all the hard work. you make this forum a better place. now please for the love of god, try to get one of the big 3 on there and hit em with a question about new music. im sure youve tried already, along with many others but THAT is what 99.9% of us wanna know im sure even if you did get the chance to ask they wouldnt give you a straight answer but i wanna hear someone other than fortus say the same old shit we've been hearing for years. and i guess fuckin kudos to dizzy for giving us what was pretty much a flat out "no" but im dying to hear it from someone that has some pull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Some cool stories, but I can't believe there was no talk of the years 1995-2008. Also, there wasn't any real mention of new music, or even if he'd like to do it. Would really have loved to have heard about how it was rebuilding the friendship with Duff and Slash after years of not performing together. I can only imagine how difficult it is to get these interviews, but these were very soft questions. The only thing that came close to a hard question was asking if they would do some more deeper cuts. Not to shit on your efforts, it was a good interview for people that haven't really seen or read many Dizzy interviews. And it's quite possible that your question bank was limited by one of Dizzy's handlers.... if he has handlers? Funny story at the end though about touring in india 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably give you the answer he'd give😂 Anyway, keep up the good work! Love the Beavan and Brain interviews! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimpy Hewitt Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Sid some people just don’t understand and respect the fact that it’s extremely hard to get someone like Dizzy on In the first place and then understand that someone who’s so low in the band would never be allowed to talk about highly classified information. Anyways, really enjoyed watching the interview man I respect all of the work you do for the community and I hope you can keep getting bigger. Just a thought, maybe if Axl respects you guys enough to quote one of your vids (if that’s what he actually did), maybe someday he might do an interview with you guys. I could definitely see him doing an interview with a lesser known news outlet than with a bigger well known one that could possibly twist his words for publicity.

He made his feelings towards former members clear when they were, well, former members. We don't to know his kissing up to them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeneral Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I think if you ever get Axl on you will never need to worry about anything again. Not only would that make you the biggest GNR channel ever but I don't think he will forget you and that he will give you some great opportunities in the future. But I think it would be easier to get Elvis Presley on lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
