Hookers N' Blow featuring Dizzy Reed Spring Dates Announced

[NickNasty]

Any announcemnt regarding Rock in Rio will be a huge litmus test as to whether this band is aligning their schedules.

I agree. We're approaching crunch time. I know alot of people here name off their local festivals as places GNR might play this year. But reastically, Rio is the only one that has a real shot at GNR appearing. If Axl says fuck Rio, then you can fuck all the rest too.

Pretty much--i'd say if they're a 'no' for RIR then you can write off most of the summer-then again, they did play in 2002 w/out being at an RIR-but given it's large stature and Axl's history with it, i can't think of any other place for them to kick off the summer-if that's what Axl is in fact, intending on doing-he never explicitly said so-all he said about summer festivals was "we'll see what happens"

As for Dizzy and the rest, same old shit, different year. None of these small gigs the guys play are things that can't be cancelled for a gnr rehearsal/tour-now if Tommy joins SA for a tour, that's a little different-but we have no indication on that one way or the other yet.

Meh, same shit, different day.

If any of the shows are near anyone, someone go check Dizzy's band out. Who knows, maybe you'll get the mythical "Part 4" from that interview Madagascar88 never shared with us..

As someone already said, the biggest thing to look for is Tommy filling up his calendar with SA dates and not Gn'R..

According to sp1at, Dizzy Reed and J.Miller will start the shooting of a movie in February...

Richard, now dizzy...I star to worry about RIR!!

[Buddha_Master]

Seriously...stop tripping. This is the NEW GN'R. These guys are what us in the business like to refer to as Professionals.

Dizzy could to do these Hookers N' Blow tour dates, Tommy can do his reunions, Finck can do his animal sacrifices, Axl can party, it doesn't matter. We all know that when its time to get serious as a band under the GN'R umbrella, these dudes get their shit done. Look at uh, umm...well 2002 they gave us some shit right? What are you guys worried about?

No, this is not according to Splat.  This is according to Joel Miller, who wrote and directed a film that Dizzy starred in, scored and contributed original music to.

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think this is going to be an enormously time-consuming collaboration.  Joel and Dizzy are just writing songs together for the film.

i don?t think rio is the only possible festival where axl could appear.... rock am ring in germany for example is also a possibility, but you?re right ... if they won`t play rio they won`t play the other smaller festivals either....  we`ll see what happens though....
