Dizzy Reed (born Darren Arthur Reed, June 18, 1963 in Hinsdale, Illinois) is a contemporary rock musician. He is best known for his tenure as the keyboardist for the rock band Guns N? Roses, with whom he has played, toured and recorded since 1990. Aside from frontman Axl Rose, Reed is the only member of Guns N? Roses to remain from the band?s Use Your Illusion era.As an adult, Reed pursued a music career in Los Angeles. He was a founding member of the club band The Wild in the late 1980s, with whom he spent five years. He also replaced August Worchell as the guitarist of the group Johnny Crash although the band split up shortly after he joined.

Reed met the original lineup of Guns N? Roses in 1985; his band, The Wild, rehearsed in a neighboring studio. He kept in touch, and in 1990 was invited by friend Axl Rose to join the group for the recording of the two Use Your Illusion albums. His induction into GN?R was far from smooth: former bandmates Slash and Izzy have said that no one in the band but Axl talked to Reed for the first two weeks.

In spite of the rough start, Reed soon became an accepted member of the group and his work was heard on the majority of tracks on both albums. As a member of Guns N? Roses, Reed has become well-known for his keyboard, piano and backing vocal work during live performances, music videos and on such songs as ?Dust N? Bones? Live and Let Die ?Bad Obsession? ?November Rain? ?Garden of Eden? ?Don?t Damn Me? ?Bad Apples? ?Civil War?, ?14 Years?, ?Yesterdays?, ?Knockin? On Heaven?s Door? ?Get in the Ring? ?Pretty Tied Up? and ?Locomotive?, as well his contributions to some of the band?s new tracks, including ?Chinese Democracy?, ?Shacklers Revenge?, ?Better?, ?Street of Dreams? ?If the World?, ?There Was a Time?, ?Catcher in the Rye?, ?Scraped?, ?Riad N? the Bedouins?, ?I.R.S? and ?Prostitute?, and when not playing keyboards or piano, Reed frequently provides backup on percussion and vocals during live Guns N? Roses performances.

Dizzy continues to record and play live with the current Guns N? Roses line-up, and has now been a member of Guns N? Roses longer than any other member besides Axl Rose. Since he joined the band in 1990, five years after its formation in 1985, he cannot be described as an original member. However, apart from Rose, he remains the only remaining link to the Use Your Illusion era and Guns N? Roses?s heyday in the early 1990s. Although Reed did not co write any songs during the Illusion sessions, for Chinese Democracy he co wrote ?Street of Dreams? with Axl Rose and Tommy Stinson and ?There Was a Time? and ?I.R.S? with Rose and Paul Tobias, as well as the non-album single ?Oh My God? with Rose and Tobias. As well as singing during Guns N? Roses live performances, Reed also serves as a backing vocalist, more notabley with the current lineup than the old lineup, he sung backing vocals on a few songs on the Use Your Illusion albums, notable examples were November Rain ?Garden of Eden? ?Bad Apples? and ?Civil War? as well as You Can?t Put Your Arms Around A Memory from ?The Spaghetti Incident?? which was a Duff solo track where Dizzy was the only other member of the band that sung on that track, frequently on Chinese Democracy one of Reeds biggest roles in the band today is serving as a backing vocalist.

Doesn't look good for the rumored GN'R show in Costa Rica.

Fresno?? Ill probably go  : ok:  :peace:  :hihi:

I saw Pearcy a while back and he sounded great. I was a big Ratt fan back in the day (they were huge when i was in high school; saw them in Texas while I was tripping on acid -- great show. Poison was the opening band). Anyway, when I saw him about a year ago I was really impressed with how his voice held up. He even did a Zeppelin song and I was kinda surprised at the power of his voice. Met him after the show and seemed like a cool guy. Saw Dizzy at the Viper Room last summer and his band put on a kickass show. That was a lot of fun. Talked to Dizzy before the show and he, too, was really cool and down to earth. I'd go to this show if I was anywhere closeby, but I'm on the east coast right now.
