Originally formed as a way to get free drinks in Hollywood, GUNS N- ROSES’ keyboardist Dizzy Reed started HOOKERS N- BLOW (aka THE Hollywood Bulldozer) along with Matt Starr (BEAUTIFUL CREATURES) and Alex Grossi (QUIET RIOT). “The response has been overwhelming”, says guitarist Alex , “you forget just how big Guns N Roses are. Not to mention the fact that Dizzy has now been a member of G N R for almost 16 years. On our last tour, we would show up to the clubs and there would be a stack of fan mail from all over the world for Dizzy, it’s pretty amazing.” The band’s set list is comprised of many Guns N- Roses songs along with a mix of classic rock standards. The band’s energy is infectious. From the first song, it is apparent how much they enjoy playing together and it does not take long for the audience to become as much a part of the show as the 5 guys on stage. Also from the beginning in early 2004, Drummer Troy Patrick Farrell (WHITE LION/JANI LANE/GILBY CLARKE) explains, “there’s been so many times that we’ve played a show & the audience is full of people who saw us the night before & drove more than 2 hours to see us again, it’s great”. Because of everyone’s continuing schedules with their own bands, the line up changes from time to time. Other members include: JIZZY PEARL (RATT/LOVE-HATE), SCOTTY GRIFFIN (The King Mixers/Liars & Cheats), JOHN CORABI (RATT/THE SCREAM/MOTLEY CRUE) as well as Mayuko and Tsuzumi Okai, Curtis Roach and Matt Starr.
