Title: if dizzy was on AFD??
Post by: slashisvr on August 01, 2006, 09:51:42 AM
Dizzy would have been on AFD provided he didnt break his arm or something, do you think AFD would of sounded better or worse?

personally i think it would have been worse, i love the AFD album and wouldnt have changed any of it, in the Illusions albums some of the songs would have sounded better without dizzy IMO

any thoughts?

Yea. It would have sucked badly. Nothing against the guy, theres just no place for him on that album.

why should he be on AFD?.. didn't he met the guys in like 89 and became a member 90.. or was he involved before that?.. i've never heard of that ???

I know he knew them because they were next door in the recording studio from eachother.. true he broke his arm, but afd is a masterpiece and is best left the way it was.. I think they wouldn't have looked as tough with a keyboard player, plus axl might had thrown softer shit in if dizzy was around

So if he was going to be a member early on do you think its true that bringing him in for UYI caused a lot of tension in the band?

Didn't the new band do a re-recording of AFD? If so and if we ever hear it, then we'll know :-) In that case, even Pitman would be on it, hehe.

having Dizzy on AFD would make those songs sound like shit, the same way the songs on UYI suffered with Dizzy's work.  Except for "Estranged", "So Fine", and "November Rain", and maybe one other, the songs on UYI didn't need keyboards, and the keyboards sounded way out of place on the rest of them.

they prolly woulda sounded more like Roth era VH :hihi: and i don't hink he was meant to be in GnR then where did you get that info from :-\

@ Bridge...I don't think Dizzy was on the UYI records :no: at least he says that on the making of DC vid :peace:

yeah...i dunno i just watched the vids about a month ago...pretty sure he said it...look in the uyi book it'll say for sure if he played on anything...I'd look but i don't have them handy

oh wait i just checked the main site he plays piano or organ on Dust N Bones, LaLD, DC (orig), Perfect Crime, Bad Obsession, Don't Damn Me, Bad Apples, Civil War, 14 Years, Yesterdays, GITR, Pretty Tied Up & Locomotive so 13 of 30 tracks (weird he doesn't get credit for DC alt but he does for DC orig :-\ )

And background vocals on Garden of eden & November Rain i think he said in the NR making of not DC that he didn't join the band in time to be on the NR studio track :peace:

also he doesn't get a single songwriting credit :no:

i dont think he was particularly in the loop at that stage ... but anyway

no, no and no again. Appetite does not need his pianos /and or bongo drums

A few of the songs on Appetite have bongos and percussion.  : ok:

No good.  I'm glad he wasn't on the album...

i think he meant the extra bongos... you know, like he just plonks along with the drums live when hes not doin keys.

I think UYI would have been better without Dizzy also...
