Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Well, for those who know their shit, the title of the thread says it all...

For those who don't... check out the link.

So, Xtos, you makin' 'em go to Greece?  :beer:

hopefully they hit up Las Vegas.  They'd do great here at many places.   I've seen Jizzy here before.

Who knows?  :smoking:

Another reason for some people to believe CD is not gonna be released any time soon...  :rant:

Fuck this shit.

Don't start your whinning in here.

First and last warning.

My whining? I said SOME people, I wasn't talking about myself there! I just stated the obvious hoping this thread wouldn't then be filled with stupid posts about how "the tour's gonna delay the release of cd" and all kinds of shit.

For the record: I don't think it will, so what's the problem?

Then I guess I made it pretty fuckin clear that if anyone fills this thread with shitty whinning posts, they will face the consequences...

This tour is for fun. It's not exactly a money-maker...

So, if everything's on schedule and Dizzy has some free time, he should tour so all of his fans can watch him perform live in small venues.

I love Dizzy and it's cool that he's doing what he loves to do.

Too bad he (they) can't tour worldwide I guess.  ;)

Xtos, if you make that happen, I'll come and try the taxis in Greece if my bank lets me  : ok:

IT is great that they will be out having fun, but what about the thing WE all have been waiting for?  This is proof that that thing isn't anywhere nearer for us to listen to.

I did say first and last warning.

You didn't listen, or maybe I should say read.

One negative karma.

If anyone wants to discuss other things than the Dizzy/Jizzy tour, be my guests.

I'd love to give some more negative karmas...

soz this to say but it seems you are the one who whines and spreading negative karma around for people who just give a opinion
apparently if you don't like what ya read ya must go threaten people with negative karma
this is really complete bullshit 
ah well bet i will be banned now and this post will be deleted because that is how you work apparently

/salute bushka

Thankz Friend.

HBK *

Must...contact...venues in Minneapolis....now!!! Haha, this sounds fucking cool but I'm not a big Jizzy fan, but I'd suffer ta see Dizwald.

negative karma sure gets handed out with little to no reason around here.  Razzberry really said nothing wrong.  But anyway, Jizzy is playing club vodka saturday night with love/hate if anyone cares.

I'd go just to hear some Love/Hate.

This will be fun , from the moment I returned from Japan these two guys have sustained my need for live shows. Jizzy is a class act sounds great , can bring ratt , love hate , and  many other hits. Dizzy...well this guy is incredible, doing at least 3 shows each week out here in LA and always putting on a great show. Personally these two are super people, this is great news.

Yeah yeah...

I love power etc etc.

Been there, done that, heard this shit before.

Don't like it? Don't post bullshit about things that have nothing to do with the Dizzy/Jizzy tour.

Seems like every thread these days is a good chance for people to whine about CD not been released yet.

Guess what. I don't like that shit.

P.S.: SURPRISE!!! You're not banned yet.

DIZZY REED, LOVE/HATE To Team Up For U.S. Tour - Dec. 12, 2007

HOOKERS 'N' BLOW, the band led by GUNS N' ROSES keyboardist Dizzy Reed, and LOVE/HATE will team up for a 2008 tour.

Jizzy Pearl will be performing the music of LOVE/HATE for the first time in North America in over 15 years, including the MTV hits "Blackout In The Red Room", "Why Do You Think They Call It Dope?" and "Spinning Wheel".

Dizzy Reed of GUNS N' ROSES will also be on the bill with his ultra-fun side project HOOKERS 'N' BLOW, who will be performing a mix of covers as well as, for the first time new music from Reed, including songs off "The Still Life" soundtrack, which he recently scored.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73HMugmO3dU

Love/Hate are one of my all time favourite bands. Jizzy Pearl's voice is fuckin' ace.

I dont mean to bash, but why the hell does anyone care about Dizzy? What the fuck has that dude contributed, besides playing bongos on the illusion tour lol. BTW on the songs on his myspace, he sounds like he tries to sing like Axl. His voice and lyrics are lame

How funny!


Seems like all the comedians are posting today.




/jarmo

seriously, what does that bring to the fold? Bongos? silkworms? 

Well there's Estranged and November Rain, not to mention an awesome piano piece on Locomotive....

I don't think you're serious....

Do you know anything about GN'R?


As I said, very funny!  ::)



/jarmo

Ive always assumed Axl wrote those songs on a piano. Basically Dizzy just played what Axl wrote. Is that wrong?

The clowns are out tonight Jarmo. Watch out I hear that they'll squirt you with water out of that magic flower......and then give you herpes.

But seriously, I'm not going to give you a history lesson on Dizzy. This is a GNR forum, you should be somewhat acquainted with him anyway. In short, he helped mature the GNR sound to great result.

And that's why you think he's... what, a bad keyboard player? Trying to sound like Axl? I'm starting to think that you're his ex girlfriend pretending to be a guns fan, and now you want to get revenge. :rofl:

And please tell us what's wrong with playing songs that someone else has written IF YOU'RE STILL IN THE BAND? ????

axl did write them, yes. dizzy does a hell of a job playing what he wrote....

the blues, madagascar....

I assume you haven't seen GNR live.

being a moral support and a close friend to axl + being a musical genious that's nothing, now that i think of it, what has dizzy ever done for GNR? well he have helped wrote classics/to-be-classics and? is one of the main reasons we have this band today still with us but raelly this is nothing.. damn he's so un-important

 ::)

sorry I posted my part in the wrong section of that last post, it looks like jarmo said it

I don't think he's overrated at all. I don't listen to his solo work but I still admire him as an artist & a band member of gnr. The guy didn't leave the band when everyone else did (so to speak).

Watch him play that keyboard... There's no way he could be considered overrated as an artist. Underrated is the word I would use.

Dizzy's solo before the Blues is easily one of my favorite moments from any of the shows I was at.

Yeah, it's absolutely beautiful. He's a great piano player.

Man - great title to this thread!

I thought you were being totally sarcastic though, ie: 'FUCK, YEAH!!! Its incredible!!! New picture of Dizzy's keyboard  on his Myspace page!!!!!'

Hmmmm.... if these little shows are your thing then I hope you enjoy them, can't say I see the appeal though.

The FUCK YEAH was aimed at the DIZZY/JIZZY tour... Not at the new myspace page.

I enjoy these "little" shows cause you can meet the artist and talk to them for a few moments...

Besides that, you can have lots of fun at these shows... You can even ask for a song and you might get to hear it...

How many people have had the chance to ask for a song at a GN'R gig?

Anyway, if you don't enjoy them, don't go.

What - do you think?!? Really?

Sharp advice, there, Christos. Its appreciated. You should start your own problem page/agony aunt column. Thats some great shit you're coming out with.

Man, why is everyone so sensitive around here all of a sudden? I tell the guy to enjoy the show and I get the usual sarcastic crap.... Whats going on?

he wasnt being sensitive, you asked a question and he answered it in a calm and considered manner despite your clearly derogatory comments towards dizzy and his shows

Kudos to Dizzy getting involved yet with another band/tour!  He's a brilliant musician who obviously loves to go on the road and play. 

What exactly makes him a "brilliant musician"? I mean yeah I guess he's added a cool piano part to Axl's songs here and there, but IMO that doesnt classify you as a brilliant musician. Again, listen to his horrible solo stuff on his myspace. Exhibit A: The Air

You have got to be fuckin shittin me...

I was the one being sarcastic?

Excuse me but there are lots of people who actually love this song... I'm one of those...

The fact that you don't like it doesn't make it horrible.

With this logic, I could say that your taste is horrible if you don't like this song.

But I don't think like that, so I won't say it...

What exactly makes him a "brilliant musician"? I mean yeah I guess he's added a cool piano part to Axl's songs here and there, but IMO that doesnt classify you as a brilliant musician. Again, listen to his horrible solo stuff on his myspace. Exhibit A: The Air

What exactly makes him a brilliant musician you ask?  Cause he's been able to work with countless of other musicians over the past 15 years, mostly people you never heard of, but that doesn't change who he is. 

This whole site seems to be like this, like earlier in the thread handing out negative karma etc, the powers that be leaving threats on the table in order to keep you on track in the discussion. It seems petty but hey, I'll probably get a negative karma (or banned) for saying so. Hell, this message will probably get deleted.

As for the show, it's great that it's going on for those that are interested and get a chance to see it. It seems like a natural thing for die hard fans on a GNR message board to steer this towards, "How does it effect CD coming out" and I'm sure, from the threats made in this thread already, that I'll get negative karma for not limiting my discussion but whatever. It's a natural progression in a discussion; if we were sitting at a table talking the conversation would go down that path for sure so, get a hard on using your super powers if you must but my thoughts on how this effects CD:

I don't see how this changes anything at all. If you subscribe to the theory that CD has been handed in. CD may have contract negotiations or promotion strategy elements being worked on and during this down time if the others want to get in some solo stuff while they can, more power to them. They did just finish touring with GNR and you can bet when CD drops they'll be on that tour wagon again.  They probably need to take moments like these and use them to do their own thing while they can.

Anyway that's my thread. I addressed the previous post, the thread subject, and additional comments already brought up. I think this follows normal protocol for most internet boards but let me know if I broke any of your rules.

I guess I cant really argue with that. IMO it sucks, but you're right, my opinion doesnt make it horrible. 

You're not banned yet and this message has not been deleted.

But you did get a negative karma.

This is not a place to talk about CD...

Figures, that's why I don't usually bother posting on this forum. It's not geared for open discussion and it seems that people get banned left and right; Most end up over at mygnr or some other site where you're allowed to speak a little more openly. Seems to be a pretty well known problem at this point. I've been on the internet for about 14 years and have been on a LOT of boards. This is the only one in all that time I've ever gotten any kind of "Negative Karma"....wow.

We'll get over it, and so will you...

If your next option for a board is mygnr, then no problem, go there and talk as much as you want about Chinese Democracy (something we've never talked about) in a solo Dizzy gigs thread...

Well, this board is so huge that they need some form of system. I run a board and I run it very loose but then again I don't have so many members. I let threads take their own life so to speak but it doesn't really work if you got as many members as they do here. T

The annoying repeaters of the same arguments with no constructive criticism should be dealt with and they do it quite nicely here. But when that's said, I find myself being a bit hesitant towards posting here of the same reasons as you. :) The mods use a harsh (and quite unnecessary) arrogant tone towards many of these idiots while they should be just ignored. Problem is, if a guy with some good points to his argument joins in, he's sometimes put into the same category as these idiots making the board very little open for any kind of discussion at all. Like Christos here, he could have just dealt with this little detail in quiet but with that attitude towards posters, you ask for a bit of a war.  People don't like being stepped on, no matter how stupid their arguments can be. ;)

The problem is that we've seen it happening a million times before and our attitude makes no difference.

So, it's better to think of me as an asshole who doesn't treat people well (which is an opinion based on a few posts) but does his job than think of me as an asshole who is kind and noble but you won't hear a damn word I said...

P.S.: Happy new year...

I haven't witnessed anything like this yet, but then again I don't read all the threads, just the ones that interest me (like this one).

Could we have a "I want to whine about Jarmo and the mods" sub forum here somewhere? I think it'd be a great idea, all posts like this for example could be moved and discussed there. Unless it's too much trouble for the mods (too many posts to move, 24/7...), which I would totally understand.  :-\

And yet HERE (Today ... Gone To Hell!) you are posting  ::)


They already do.  It's called the  Administrative, Feedback & Help  section.  :yes:



On Topic:  "The Dizzy/Jizzy Tour" is a cool name for a tour  :headbanger:

You know, he IS entitled to speak his mind in a politely way (as he did) without you being a smartass.  :beer:

You think I'm a smartass because I pointed out the irony of mcalldp's statement?

Someone posting why they supposedly don't post on this site reminds me of that Groucho Marx song from "Animal Crackers":

Hello, I must be going
I cannot stay
I came to say
I must be going
I'm glad I came
But just the same
I must be going... Ta-Ta!


And, FYI, in that reply, I also referred peoples to the correct section where such sentiments can be addressed by the admin and mods.


On Topic:? I still think "The Dizzy Jizzy Tour" is a cool tour name.? : ok:

besides, that someone doesn't bother posting is not exactly an opinion/their mind, is it?


the D J tour.

Actually, if you bothered reading my response or quoted my entire post you would have noticed the word, "Usually" meaning that I tend not to. It's not an exclusive statement that I never have or never will post here. I can give my opinion and I was polite about it, I don't see the problem. Hey, thanks a lot for letting me know where I am though, I appreciate it.

Oh yea, back on topic. As I said, this is good for those that are interested and can go. I hope someone here gets a chance and leaves a review with us. If it comes my way and is at the right place at the right time I might catch it but it's not something I would go out of my way for.

 

any tour dates on this yet?

Not yet from what I know...

Soon we'll know more.

Well, some will say this is bad, but I don't think this affects Chinese Democracy at all.

Oooh yay, huzzah, yowza, fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :-\

Not that it will affect Chinese, but it does mean that maybe we won't see much from the band till April. Of course, it doesn't mean the promotion or whatever couldn't be rolling, but maybe its unlikely.

But anyways, the good thing is that they will perform the songs of The Still Life! Those Dizzy tracks are awesome! :D

YYAAAYYY!!!! I got a show to go to in April!!!  I'm tentively planning to go to the Compound show.  Only because I have no freakin clue where Palmer is and/or how far away it is :hihi:

Lucky you littlefly. google map? I'm sure Palmer or any of the venues are far far far faraway from my place.  :hihi:

QUIET RIOT Guitarist ALEX GROSSI Opening 'School Of Rock' - Mar. 17, 2008

Guitarist Alex Grossi (QUIET RIOT, HOOKERS 'N' BLOW) will open "Alex Grossi's School Of Rock" on Monday, April 7 in Vernon, Connecticut.

"Alex Grossi's School Of Rock" features four sound-proof rooms, including a fully equipped live recording/rehearsal studio that can accommodate any and all levels of bands, from beginner to professional."

Says Grossi: "We wanted to make the opening a big event and I was lucky enough to have Dizzy Reed of GUNS N' ROSES and Jizzy Pearl of RATT agree to come in and do a 'rock and roll seminar' to coincide with the April 7 grand opening.

"There are a lot places to take lessons," says Grossi, "but to be able to interact and ask questions to multi-platinum artists in an intimate setting is not only going to be an amazing experience for people of ALL age groups, but an inspiring one as well, not to mention a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I am proud to be filling a void that has been left empty for far too long in this area."

The guy's on tour until April 19th and everyone's Mount St. Helensing about it... haha... gotta love GN'R fans. :P

I look forward to checking out the Philadelphia show. Should be a blast.:beer:

PS Dizzy has made substantial contributions (November Rain, Estranged, Madagascar, etc.) to GN'R for many years... and even was tight with the original line-up before he officially joined. It's a blessing he's still with the band these days as he provides an additional link to the storied past along with Axl. Dizzy rocks and is a true Gunner IMHO.: ok:

Sweet thanks for the info!
