Title: Dizzy & Pitman's role in GNR Post by: darkstar_legend on January 17, 2006, 02:45:46 PM One word: Keyboards.
Seriously, what in the world was Axl thinking, getting keyboard players into Guns? Was he trying to achieve a certain sound...or what? I mean, come on. Wasn't Guns supposed to be a fucking rock band? :rant: I just don't see how keyboards fit into a rock band. Help me out here.

... IMO, it gave a characteristic sound....... and only the songs that needed the keyboards had them....... we'll never know how UYI I&II would have sound without them..........

Here we go again. If you want to see how they fit into a rock band, just listen to "a supposed fucking rock bands" like Led Zeppelin, queen, rolling stones or such. I think They have different roles. Chris is more a synthesizer, putting effects. And both write music. The more, the more ideas.

Title: Re: Dizzy & Pitman's role in GNR Post by: Rob on January 18, 2006, 12:20:21 AM Keyboards and pianos definitely have a place in rock music. Chris Pitman helped write Silkworms, so he has no place in GN'R.
Title: Re: Dizzy & Pitman's role in GNR Post by: Sam on January 18, 2006, 04:17:22 PM Dizzy's role in Civil War is sweet, even though you can hardly hear it.
Title: Re: Dizzy & Pitman's role in GNR Post by: Rob on January 18, 2006, 05:17:47 PM I agree, Sam. The piano in that song is very cool. It sounds great at the end as Slash is soloing and Axl is flipping out. There are so many songs on UYI that the piano adds so much to.
