Dizzy Reed at Cornell Interview

[badapple81]

No it doesn't mean the whole Axl interview was a fake or isn't true.. just the way some media twisted it around to make it look like Axl agrees there will be a reunion.

Merck makes it sound like he is acknowledging Dizzy did make the comments but they are untrue?

[Crashdiet]

why is everyone giving this kid a hard time. why is it so hard to believe that he hung out with dizzy for a couple hours. Maybe dizzy had a couple drinks and got loose tongued...

I for one would have really enjoyed reading the other half of the interview.... way to be a bunch of wankers and piss the kid off

Or rather the particular comment is untrue? GDU.

Now things are getting rediculous.

Now? Naa, they were getting ridiculous when some ppl started to twist Axls comment. 
Likewise 88 guy must have misinterpreted something.

me, too.  well  let the point alone, that axl said numerous times that it`s a collaborative effort. and he can`t release a new gnr record on which half of the songs are written by him , without having the media bitching about a solo record etc....



and well    i guess you can`t compare the old band?s writing style to the new ones. not that i`d know what`s going on, from what we`ve heard it`s really different. didn?t axl/dizzy/tommy say in an interview some years ago that they were colllecting ideas, first and then saved them and after that started to built songs out of it?        well   i hope we`ll see who wrote what, soon, but until then i`ll believe that it`s a real collaborative effort. ppbebe  do you have some more quotes?

Just so many...for instance this one, which is not the best one but handy. Keen insight btw.

After intimating that most of the lyrics and vocals are Axl's, but that he and Dizzy Reed do a lot of the back-up vocals, Tommy states that songwriting-wise, "there'll probably be compositions that started with each of us and were compiled by all of us, on the whole record, yeah. I would be willing to wager that that is how it turns out, because Axl is the kind of guy who is always looking out for the fairest way to do it so everyone's happy. Because obviously, that's the kind of thing that screwed up the old band. Everybody had songs they wanted to write, and have Axl sing, and then there got to be infighting, I think, with whose songs were going to be on the record. He's really conscious of that, so it ends up being a bit of everyone on there."

Dammit, I was just getting into the interview, and it sounds like everybody chased Madagascar88 off.  That's really not cool.  I would have enjoyed Part III.

When why would Dizzy say it then? Just seems so out of character for Dizzy 

[ppbebe]

Yeah Diz just seems too delibarate in his speech to let slip this kinda gossip. I mean this.

There is also no truth to Dizzy's recent revelations that ex-members have 'offered bigtime for a re-union'.

Did Merck say this?

[Dont Try Me]

Dizzy might have said it, he might have not. Sometimes people say things which are to a certain extent true but shouldn't have said it. Or for the wiser, should've kept it for themselves. Sometimes it's the other way around. And sometimes people back eachother up to stand corrected or to clear the past sayings. Bar gossip

There is also no truth to Dizzy's recent revelations that ex-members have 'offered bigtime for a re-union'. Splat has verified though that the interviewer (Madagascar88) does attend Cornell University and is a member of the Zeta Psi fraternity.

Holy crap, that's creepy.

It show's that they're WATCHING.?

It shows that they are BORED... with nothing to do...

Um possibly because he didnt say it lol

I think the whole purpose of this was to get us all riled up. Why would it be posted in 3 parts taking days to do so, then witholdingthe last part when some of us got critical. Is this interview so hard not to believe? Especially when it is paraphrased. Why not quote Dizzy accurately? Less mis interpretation that way. I hope it is legit but the 2nd part kind of made me think this is BS.

Me too.. did you see how quickly he didnt want to "damage his reputation and integrity".. and he said "anymore than it has been"...

If Dizzy had said that shit he wouldnt have gotten all pissed off and worried when i told him i was gonna ask Dizzy myself..  and the part about "if i get a phone call or email about this" does he really think that Dizzy is gonna call him and say "what the fuck man?"

If he had ANY question about it at all or had any kind of friendship with Dizzy Reed he would have kept his trap shut...  If Dizzy or any friend would tell you something that you know he wouldnt want spread all over the world on the internet they why even hint at it... I think he was full of shit.... I dont belive that shit he made up about Izzy at all... coz all that ive ever heard about Izzy from people who know him or met him have said that Izzy is a cool as fuck mofo....

Would you like me to whip up a quick Dizzy interview? It'll only take about 5 or 10 minutes for me to write. I promise not to hold back any "inside info", or make you wait for a 3rd installment.

Some guy, with nothing better to do, constructs a mass Dizzy Reed interview to piss off a few hundred people worldwide

Nah man, if it's not a mygnr exclusive.. then it's not worth the read 

[dolphin]

All I have to say is Damn.

This thread is harsh!

[DunkinDave]

You're all retarded for chasing Madagascar88 off.

Merck just confirms stuff officially - of course there's no plans for a GNR reunion.

Dizzy never said that in the interview, he just said that the ex-band members' agents had been in contact with Axl's management.

It doesn't mean anything came out of it.

Even if this were fake, Dizzy would have contacted Merck or vise-versa and they would have tried to have it removed or at the very least have it discredited.

Until that happens, I believe the interview's real.
