Dude, Dizzy had a BIG hand in making CD. A Dizzy Guns album would just be keeping the ball rolling. Assuming he has as much work in with the vault trx as he did with the CD trx.

Axlin, with all due respect I don't recall seeing Dizzy in any of the writing credits for CD.

Street of Dreams

Dizzy co-wrote the song with Axl & Tommy. The entire orchestral, synth, and piano arrangements (which are arguably the studio version's strongest quality), are all primarily credited to Dizzy.

There Was A Time

Dizzy co-wrote the song with Axl & Paul Huge. Keyboard and the synth arrangements are primarily credited to Dizzy. Dizzy also gets a secondary credit on the song's orchestration. Pretty big, considering it's universally considered the best track on the album.

I.R.S.

Dizzy co-wrote the song with Axl & Paul, although other than keyboards, i'm not really sure what his contributions were.

Madagascar

Dizzy's given a secondary credit for the orchestral arrangement, although it was written by Marco Beltrami.

Prostitute

Dizzy's given credits on the orchestra and synth arrangements.

That's 3 songs he's got co-writing credits on, and 5 in total he's given credit for the structural nature of the song.

Obviously he's not Axl Rose, but I would say having that kind of hand in an album, definitely shows his influence. Not to mention, anything coming out the vault possibly can date back to the late 90's, and in those days only Axl, Dizzy & Chris regularly working on the album, and DJ & Dizzy are the ones teaming up right now, I think it's significant to give him credit. Not to mention, he plays on every track on CD, except Sorry.

Anyman with a co-writing credit on TWAT, I wouldn't shake my fist at.
