Title: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: Voodoochild on November 03, 2005, 02:54:20 PM The user hbkdx1125 posted this at mygnr.com:
Alright guys. Last night was the big night and I must say that I had a great time. I got to the radio station and Dizzy is just sitting there in the studio playing his guitar with the DJ and a guy from his band named Scott. He introduced himself to me after I got into the studio. So the people in the studio were Dizzy, Scott, the DJ, me, my guest, a mother and her son, some other DJ's that came in and out of the studio, 2 Hooter's girls, their bodyguard, and the camera guy. Dizzy did a few segments on the radio. He even played two songs on the radio. He and Scott did Ziggy Stardust and Used to Love Her. I never realized that Dizzy could sing. He sounded just like David Bowie on Ziggy Stardust. He had the DJ print out lyrics to Used to Love Her because he said he didn't know the words. During the breaks he and Scott would do little parts of other songs like Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Paradise City, Fight for Your Right to Party by Beastie Boys, an OutKast song(the one about the whole world), and some Rainbow song I had never heard of. The DJ asked him questions about his band and he said it was all covers b/c it was just for fun. When asked about when Chinese Democracy would be released he said the usual "Soon." He said as far as he knows it is still called Chinese Democracy. When asked to name all the current band members he could not confirm any of them he just said the ones from the 2002 tour. Some chick called in and said it was bullshit that Axl started a new band without the original members (including Dizzy) and Dizzy told her that he was actually in the new band. I know she felt like a dumbass. Dizzy went on to say that the new band is great and it is the best band he has ever been in including the old GN'R.Another girl called in saying that she was touching herself while talking to him. He was asked wether Izzy or Gilby was better for the band. He said that Gilby is the better guitar player but Izzy was an original member so Izzy was more important. He also said he still plays gigs with Gilby all the time. I got to ask him about the Greatest Hits 2 CD. His response was something like "Yeah I heard that was coming out too. People all over the country have been telling me about it. Honestly I don't know if it is real but if it is you and everyone else should buy it." The DJ brought up all the GN'R riots and mentioned that he was actually apart of the St. Louis Riot. Dizzy didn't want to talk about it. He said it brought back painful memories. He also stuck up for Axl a lot. Someone asked why the 2002 tour was cancelled. He asked if it was because Axl stopped showing up or whatever and Dizzy said it was definitely not Axl's fault but he got blamed for it like usual. He said Axl is currently hard at work with the CD. Another girl called in and said she was at the 2002 MSG show and Dizzy said that is his favorite show he has ever done. After the radio stuff I got a picture(or quite a few pictures actually) with Dizzy. I noticed that Scott (the guitarist) was exchanging number's with one of the Hooter's girls(Those rock stars. it comes so easy to them). The camera guy gave me his card and told me to e-mail him and he would e-mail me all the pics of Dizzy, Scott, and me and Dizzy together. All together I had an excellent time. Dizzy was really cool and down to earth. Oh yeah I didn't get any autographs people. I am so sorry. I didn't even get any for myself. I didn't really feel like I need one. I will post the pictures on the site as soon as I get them. If youhave anymore questions then ask b/c I didn't post everything b/c there was just too much to type.

That's encouraging news. :-\ Why do people still take his word as gospel? It's obvious he knows little more than we do.

Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: mikegiuliana on November 03, 2005, 03:28:37 PM yawns.. Yeah same old same old..
Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: slitherz on November 03, 2005, 03:38:19 PM I'm starting to hate the word 'soon' :hihi:
Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: ppbebe on November 03, 2005, 03:44:57 PM yawns.. Yeah same old same old.. same? There are many things new to me. for instance, :o I got to ask him about the Greatest Hits 2 CD. His response was something like "Yeah I heard that was coming out too. People all over the country have been telling me about it. Honestly I don't know if it is real but if it is you and everyone else should buy it." :o When asked to name all the current band members he could not confirm any of them he just said the ones from the 2002 tour. :love: BH? Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: WARose on November 03, 2005, 03:55:12 PM great news :o
dizzy should shut up imo it`s cool if you say you`re hoping it`s going to be released soon, but don`t say "soon" if you have no clue. i`d apologize if he`s actually in the know, but is not allowed to say anything, but this interview is proof enough that he`s definitely not. Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: badapple81 on November 03, 2005, 04:02:55 PM great news :o dizzy should shut up imo it`s cool if you say you`re hoping it`s going to be released soon, but don`t say "soon" if you have no clue. i`d apologize if he`s actually in the know, but is not allowed to say anything, but this interview is proof enough that he`s definitely not. Yeah, I'm sure the fans that go to his show would appreciate that.. What's he to do when he is happy to put up with all the question by mingling with the fans, I think it's great that he makes himself so accessible. He can hardly ignore the questions. I think he is doing his best under the circumstances. Those answers sound kinda short though, sounds like he wasn't really in the mood for talking about it again (when they asked him to name the band etc). Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: conny on November 03, 2005, 04:19:48 PM I think it's great that he makes himself so accessible. He can hardly ignore the questions. I think he is doing his best under the circumstances. Me too, I appreciate at least SOME members of the band not going for that overdone mystique thing and behave like human beings to their fans. That automated "soon" response is not very original anymore though... Quote Those answers sound kinda short though, sounds like he wasn't really in the mood for talking about it again (when they asked him to name the band etc). I think everyone in the band, especially the ones who do other projects, are sick of being asked the same GN'R questions over and over again. But then again, they should rather be shocked when people DON'T ask about GN'R anymore. Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: Mateoson on November 03, 2005, 04:29:49 PM Well like many people I was kind of getting excited about all of these rumors. But then I read this thread. This is total bullshit. How the fuck can you be in a band and not even know that a greatest hits CD is coming out?
Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: Lesty on November 03, 2005, 04:31:41 PM If the new GnR is even still technically an "active" band, I'd love for nothing else than for them to regroup in a few weeks, rehearse for a live show on New Years eve (Vegas, preferrably) and let the world know that they are still alive and ready to release the CD in the spring.
The most troubling thing to me is that you can't even get a confirmation on who is definitely still in the band, and it appears that all the members haven't been in the same room rehearsing since the 2002 tour ended. Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: Falcon on November 03, 2005, 04:38:33 PM . and it appears that all the members haven't been in the same room rehearsing since the 2002 tour ended. That definately seems to be the case.... In all reality, it appears the band members no little more than we fans do. I'm seeing Buckethead next week, maybe Herbie can update us on his puppetmaster's former band. Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: AxlsMainMan on November 03, 2005, 04:58:30 PM . and it appears that all the members haven't been in the same room rehearsing since the 2002 tour ended. That definately seems to be the case.... In all reality, it appears the band members no little more than we fans do. I'm seeing Buckethead next week, maybe Herbie can update us on his puppetmaster's former band. Its been obvious for years now though that Axl is the only one in the group with the authority to pull the trigger sort of speak and get the fucking album out there. Im sure the members talk to Axl frequently, but after that he is left to his own devices to tinker with the album. Its obvious this project isnt on anyone but Axl's schedule and if he needs more music laid down, his band is hopefully only a call away. Speaking of Buckethead, Ive been wondering for awhile now what he makes of the lack of progress since his departure from the band? Does he feel guilty towards the band that he took an agonizingly long recording process and probably made it 10 times longer, or he still thinking to himself: "Thank God I jumped ship while I still could." Any information Herbie shares with you Falcon would be most appreciated around this neck of the woods... Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: Crashdiet on November 03, 2005, 05:18:00 PM It sounds like dizzy doesn't know anything. He thinks its still called chinese democracy??WTF how does he not know this.
And have these guys even all been in the same room since new york 2002.... When are they planning on rehearsing? He doesn't even know if there is GH2.... Give me a break next time someone talks to any member of this so called band ask them when the last time they actually talked with axl. Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: mikegiuliana on November 03, 2005, 05:27:45 PM yawns.. Yeah same old same old.. same? There are many things new to me. for instance, :o I got to ask him about the Greatest Hits 2 CD. His response was something like "Yeah I heard that was coming out too.

I never know when he is serious though... It is the same as 2002 just minus BH.... If bh was still in axl's group the news would be out.. BH is pretty open about his projects Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: Falcon on November 03, 2005, 05:33:47 PM ... or he still thinking to himself: "Thank God I jumped ship while I still could." Who knows, maybe mixed emotions. ?I remember Dave Navarro's comment on Camp Freddy Radio last year about how he was very intrigued by the offer to join GNR only to realize soon therafter it "was the best decsion he's ever made as a professional musician" not to accept. I wonder how BH feels about his time with the band was a good experience or a waist of "precious time"?? Any information Herbie shares with you Falcon would be most appreciated around this neck of the woods... Ya never know, I did get a "hello" from Herbie the last time I saw BH... Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: Drew on November 03, 2005, 05:34:03 PM I got to ask him about the Greatest Hits 2 CD. His response was something like "Yeah I heard that was coming out too. People all over the country have been telling me about it. Honestly I don't know if it is real but if it is you and everyone else should buy it." Dizzy doesn't know anything about this Greatest Hits 2 product, that is if it's actually ligit first off. But tells a fan that "we" should buy if it is released. What if the album is pure crap? Does he want the fans to purchase something he himself has no knowledge of?!! That seems kinda shameless, doesn't it? :-\ Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: horsey on November 03, 2005, 05:39:00 PM touching herself well if that don't beat all lol.
thats a good one' well we all hope to hear this chinese democracy someday.only hoping all this waiting gets over,and more waiting for chinese democracy 2 lol. :crying: Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: AxlsMainMan on November 03, 2005, 05:49:07 PM ... or he still thinking to himself: "Thank God I jumped ship while I still could."

Any information Herbie shares with you Falcon would be most appreciated around this neck of the woods... Ya never know, I did get a "hello" from Herbie the last time I saw BH... I think its a little bit of both sentiments as far as Buckethead is concerned. In retrospect, he probably is very proud of the music he created during his time in GnR and probably hopes the fans will hear some of his contributions on the album, but also in the same sense he probably wishes it could have all come together so much better in the end, instead of a trainwreck in Philly. Dave probably does count his lucky stars he only cut one track with Axl, he most definately is not a musician who can latch his anchor to a project he has zero power and authority over. I got to ask him about the Greatest Hits 2 CD. His response was something like "Yeah I heard that was coming out too. People all over the country have been telling me about it. Honestly I don't know if it is real but if it is you and everyone else should buy it." Dizzy doesn't know anything about this Greatest Hits 2 product, that is if it's actually ligit first off. But tells a fan that "we" should buy if it is released. What if the album is pure crap? Does he want the fans to purchase something he himself has no knowledge of?!! That seems kinda shameless, doesn't it? :-\ Sure its shameless but so is the music buisness. A musician has got to eat and if that means encouraging fans to by some piss poor GH cd then I guess it will be done. Eventhough Axl, Slash, & Duff tried to prevent the first album, do you really think their that heartbroken now that its a multiplatinum success, and has inflated their bankaccounts to the sky? Probably not..and the former member and Axl alike probably wont like this GH either, but it all comes down to money in the end, not preserving the opinions of an internet forum. Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: horsey on November 03, 2005, 05:57:31 PM lets move onto the new G N' R and not the past,past is OVER '
chinese democracy ? year ? makes you wonder but it's coming' so new G N' R ~ we look to this.only this ' ;) Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: Drew on November 03, 2005, 06:06:19 PM Sure its shameless but so is the music buisness.

And if this "attitude" that they take is indeed true, then alot of credibility is lost. Or any musician that "has to eat.'' ::) I'm sureMcDonlads will hire them. Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: killingvector on November 03, 2005, 06:18:29 PM Buckethead has his own thing going on; I doubt he will ever speak of GnR again. BTW, the guy is incredible.
Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: deliverthecow on November 03, 2005, 08:50:34 PM This thing gets worse to me everytime i read a Dizzy interview. It isnt even a band. He doesnt even know who is in the band at the moment. ::) I mean you Dizzy does come across as a legit person, but come one enough is enough. I feel sorry for those guys actually, they obviously know about as much as anyone of us. It really is sad, those guys are all talented individuals and it is good they are doing there own thing but not knowing stuff like who is presently in your band , that too me is just sad. Axl must be paying them a helluva alot of money is all i have to say.
Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: Falcon on November 03, 2005, 08:57:50 PM This thing gets worse to me everytime i read a Dizzy interview. It isnt even a band... Does anyone really consider this a band at this point? It's more or less a project, a work in an exhausting state of slow progression/regression for all intents and purposes. Until they've produced something for public consumption and jelled as a unit on the road, I have a hard time referring to it as a band... Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: jameslofton29 on November 03, 2005, 10:41:26 PM Damn, this sucks! :crying: Just when things were looking a little optimistic, we find out Dizzy doesn't know shit. How does he not know who's in the band? Does he not realize Buckethead left? He doesn't know about Greatest hits 2? Every time there's light at the end of the tunnel, the train stops. Its starting to look like the light at the end of the tunnel is a mirage.

It also will not surprise me in the least at anytime if Tommy would announce that he will be joining Soul Asylum as a full time member.

If Dizzy said it would be the same line-up as 2002 (except Buckethead), how the hell couldn't he know who's in the band?
He said about Buckethead (the guy told at mygnr.com later): "yeah, he used to play with us" or something like that. I think it's really funny how some of you just wants to see the wrost scenario, the wrost interpretation of the facts. "Dizzy don't know shit, blah blah blah". Same old shit. Always bitching about something, even if they don't get the facts straight. :rant: Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: god of thunder on November 04, 2005, 07:18:47 AM Was this radio show done before or after the "sooner than you think" interview? If it was done after Dizzy lost all credibility for me! It would be really obvious that he does not have a clue what he is talking about! My idea is also that the band did not meet again after the 2002 tour! How can he not know who is in the band??
And by the way if I hear "soon" one more time I gonna riot....There are so many words in the english language that can be used: anon, betimes, shortly, in a little while, presently.... Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: Luigi on November 04, 2005, 09:22:56 AM There's nothing wrong with telling the truth also. If Dizzy says GREEN and the colors RED then Axl would tell DIZZY STOP! I would think Dizzy knows what to say by now, only because he talks with Axl. Dizzy is told what to tell his fans, thats the only reason why he gives interviews. Public presure sucks, we'll have more interviews until were BLUE in the face. I only wish we could here from AXL wishing we'd hear some Official News.

Until they've produced something for public consumption and jelled as a unit on the road, I have a hard time referring to it as a band... As a matter of fact, yes. I can name one person who considers this a band: Richard Fortus. You and others may have a hard time referring to this as a band, and I understand why, but if Fortus says it's a band, then it's a band. He's a part of it, so I'll take his word for it.

If Dizzy said this Quote "Yeah I heard that was coming out too. People all over the country have been telling me about it. Honestly I don't know if it is real but if it is you and everyone else should buy it." it should be read this way"there's no truth to the talk of the net. if you see another GNR GH coming up, don't worry. The next time it shouldn't be like the last one that hindered CD but something worth buying." Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: PhillyRiot on November 04, 2005, 09:54:02 AM Once again, if the Philadephia no-show was not Axl's fault, then why wouldn't he explain the reasons. If he is innocent he should speak the truth because he has nothing to hide. I mean WTF? It has almost been 3 years now since that no-show. Even if there were legal issues here, isn't 3 years enough to settle them? I know things move slowly in the courts, but what the hell?

Even when the vancouver riot happened, he did interviews back then and made sure to explain why the show was cancelled... If you choose to not believe a band member (it's been pretty usual lately), just think: why CC didn't release some kind of statement too? Title: Re: Fan talks with Dizzy Post by: mikegiuliana on November 05, 2005, 10:16:03 AM wether axl was wrong or right a simple explanation could have been made.. You know any rock band on the planet making a comeback would at least do that for the fans.. if CC had pulled the plug they would have known before time so no opening acts would have been aloowed to perform and no beer would have been sold.. The way it seems cc did not know this was going to happen

Even if there were legal issues here, isn't 3 years enough to settle them? I know things move slowly in the courts, but what the hell? Because it may not be the band's fault, but they were told to not blame CC or the venue due to legal reasons. Seems unlikely. What legal reasons? CC won't support them on the next (:rofl:) tour? They won't for sure. They will go to court if Axl tells the truth that CC did something wrong? Why? How? Sorry, but I don't believe it for a second. :no: Why would Axl made a statement about Buckethead leaving and the cancelled RIR4 and simply ignore the Philly riot? Even when the vancouver riot happened, he did interviews back then and made sure to explain why the show was cancelled... If you choose to not believe a band member (it's been pretty usual lately), just think: why CC didn't release some kind of statement too? Because they are not interested in doing that? Is there anyone who'd boycott a show because CC hasn't released a statement about a GN'R gig? But Axl should have been interested in a press release since this riot was another nail to GN'R's cascet.
