Dizzy Reed Show

[jabba2]

People always confuse Dizzy with Izzy Stradlin. I seen people confuse them many times on other band message boards saying Dizzy is a great songwriter and back together with Axl.

Izzy should probably sue Dizzy to change his name . thats how big the misconception is out there.

Sue!?!?!  Ummm, wow.  Do you not think that is a little drastic?  Believe me I don't think either Izzy or Dizzy is losing much sleep by being mixed up.  I think Steven Tyler should sue Steve Perry because people mix the Stevens up!!!

[jabba2]

They are in different bands though, and Dizzy makes a name for himself because some out there believe he is the great GNR songwriter. thats all. If i were Izzy i would have been uncomfortable with the "dizzy" stage name from the very beginning but thats just me.

I think Iggy pop should sue Izzy becaue they sound the same and people might get them mixed up.

I don't feel sorry for Dizzy at all. The guy has had a pretty awesome ride the last 14 years or so. He's a good keyboardist and seems pretty cool, but.... talk about money for nothing and the chicks for free.

I don't blame him for being loyal to Axl. I would be too! I'm just suprised Clarke and Sorum didn't stay on the gravy train as well...

If his name were "Izzy Pop" you might have a point.

Iggy Stradlin, Dizzy Reed or Iggy Pop and Izzy stradlin, the difference in both is one letter G or Z and D and no D. So what is your point again? I was just showing how dumb  the  idea was that Izzy should sue Dizzy for his name.

Some radio station 100.3 WHEB was promoting the Dizzy show in NH.. They had no idea who the fuck he was...? They kept calling him an amazing guitarist and a founding member and song writer for Gn'R........?

Maybe because there was this guy with a similar name who used to play guitar in GN'R....

/jarmo

agree... anyways dizzy plays guitar and writes songs for gnr (silkworms for example)

I think if his stage name were "Mark Reed" he would not be doing this. Not covering Appetite songs anyways. A record loyal "Dizzy" had no part of. Sacriligous man. Cant Hookers n Blow come up with a few of their own songs? Holy Cow.

Guns n roses the orginal played KODH, Mama kin, LALD etc etc all over songs which were not on the same label I dont think. so who cares. Hookers and blows are a cover band who plays songs just for fun. There is nothing wrong with it.

It's a cover band playing for fun. Ever heard of that F-word before?

It might be even funner if Dizzy played a few of his own songs. But no that never happens. Silkworms for instance, could safely be added to his playlist because it isnt supposed to be on the album.

  I dont recall ever hearing Silkworms would ever be on the finished product.

god help us all if that disgrace to the GNR name ends up on CD

[Jim Bob]

Silkworms rocks    props to dizzy and chris for that one.  And Axl usin the down on the farm voice 

i would love to see a finished studio version of that song.  even if it was just a b-side or something.

Why would he play his own songs with his fun cover band?

[Neemo]

why is there dizzy reed posts everywhere 

I keep reading them to see if there is an interview or review in them but each one only says,
dizzy to play this night, blah, blah, blah.

Maybe there could be an official dizzy solo tour thread or something?

[sandman]

Thats funny! This just proves that most people dont even know anything about GNR anymore. Thanks Axl for the great post UYI contributions to the GNR legacy. A special thanks for keeping everyone informed about the band so much that radio stations are now GNR experts.

LOL James

Yeah, there was a time when being a GNR member was a major deal alright. These days, the poor mugs are playing half full high school basketball games or something

Just like slash when he was doing his snake pit thing?

actually, slash performed in front of nearly 20,000 people in philadelphia opening for ACDC.

The band hopes to contribute a "REAL" orig song for a movie soundtrack...more info soon....

otherwise..it's a cover band...they "cover" stuff...and why not...
