JAC185 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 When I made a school work (paper) about GnR when I was about 15 (I'm soon 18 now) I made some embarrasing mistakes! First, I wrote Izzy Reed instead of Dizzy, but that's not the huge thing! I will quote the worst: "Dizzy Reed... But he didn't become very famous so to say, he only did some background sounds mostly." Haha how can I be so rude to Reed. I mean, now, my favourite GnR song is Estranged and the best part of the song (live version) is Dizzy Reed's keyboard solo! I can't believe I was so clumsy back then when I wrote that![/quoteYour gonna laugh at yourself again, coz Axl played the piano solo and all other piano parts in Estranged so Dizzy was non-existent on that track. He played it live coz Axl wanted to walk around while singing but not in the studio. The same with November Rain and Breakdown. Dizzy played on only one of the four piano-based songs and that was a cover version copying Paul McCartney. So you can go back to your original opinion on Mr. Reed!He said the live versionWhen i had no idea who GNR were but had an album, i figured they had two different singers, and i spent ages trying to work out which one sang which bits in the chorus for KOHD!When i found out they had one singer, I also thought Slash sang Its So Easy, i had no reason to think it, just seemed like he would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Axl Kev Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 The first GN'R cd I ever bought was the greatest hits. I listened to it for months and then decided I loved this band and wanted more so I bought Live Era. Ok hahaha this is lame - When I heard Mr. Brownstone for the first time, it was then I realised that Guns N' Roses swear in their songs I thought it was like a hard rock band who found ways around swearing - I was wrong. Also I thought Double Talkin' Jive was sang by Axl Rose. However, it is infact Izzy Stradlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrin's a wast of my f***ing time vs. Worrin's a waist of my... time on CD version I guess the space between my and time on the CD version is a golden place to place a swear word in.

warchild Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 My first GNR experience was watching WTTJ, SCOM and YCBM videos. I thought they were a bunch of criminals who played in a band in their spare time and happened to become famous!Now that is funny......and kinda rings with a smell of truth, If you know what I mean.......

luvaxl4ever Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 None of them things can be proved. Is he taller cos he's got a bucket on his head? Is he thinner cos he's been hanging upside down in closet for weeks. Didn't Bucket quit GNR and then VR went on tour?I have no idea. If Bucket rejoins GNR and VR Split Up I'll be suscipious again and maybe go back to skool to leanr how to speel. Bucket and Slash definitely are NOT the same person. Anything is possible though. After all, if Michael Jackson can go from being a black man to a white woman, then its feasible that Bucket & Slash could be one and the same!!

Gash Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I thought that Izzy was Slash and Slash was Izzy for quite a long time. Think it was because I knew Slash was from England and I thought that on the back cover of AFD Izzy looked more English and therefore had to be Slash. I refused to buy any other GN'R albums after I had AFD because I thought it wasn't the original members (again, I thought that Slash had left the band before the Illusions albums because Izzy in my mind was Slash and he didn't appear in the videos I had seen. I don't think I was very aware of the Lies album.) I remember being adamont that Chinese Democracy would be released before Christmas 2003.

Maro2 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I'm from Poland and our capital city is Warsaw. When I heard WTTJ for the first time I thought Axl's singing : "Welcome to the jungle, it's Warsaw every day ". Oh My God, Axl's singin bout my capital city, awsome !!!! You can only imagine my laugh when I saw the original lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy played on only one of the four piano-based songs and that was a cover version copying Paul McCartney. So you can go back to your original opinion on Mr. Reed!I used to think Steven Adler was Axl Rose on the back of AFD, he just looked like a lead singer and someone who could reach high pitches, maybe coz he had long blonde hair like Robert Plant. I used to think it could have been Duff either but wasn't sure. The real Axl just seemed to be in the background, not what you associate with a lead singer. I still can't tell the difference between Gilby and Izzy, and even Adler and Sorum sometimes.Slash always seemed like this mute kind of character who just played music and didn't talk or something. Hard to explain, someone else said in this thread as well. Kinda like what Buckethead actually is. I dunno there was something about Slash you couldn't imagine him having a normal conversation. He looked like a cartoon character or something, who was sent to earth to play guitar in a rock n' roll band and that was his only role in life.actually.....dizzy does play the keysit says in the UYI 2 MANUAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slashplay Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 "Welcome to the jungle, it's Warsaw every day ". Haha, that would be kinda funny!
