Legendary Guns N’ Roses keyboardist and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Dizzy Reed has released his fiery new single “Earn It 2 Burn It,” out now via 50q Records. The track is the latest from his full-length solo album ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Chose Me,’ which is also out now on digital platforms and vinyl. A blistering blend of hard rock grit and bluesy swagger, “Earn It 2 Burn It” hits with pure attitude and authenticity. “The song is about working our asses off and never actually seeing any money at all,” Reed explains. “And starting off our lives with incomprehensible debt from the cost of our education to do something else altogether while being pummeled with information about what we should like, want and need. The music was born from my love of metal and my hero, John Lord.”
‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Chose Me’ is Reed’s second solo album, a raw and reflective ten-track project that digs into themes of perseverance, mental health, the American Dream, and the power of music to connect and heal. Written and produced by Reed, the album showcases his signature blend of grit and heart. Produced by Jason Achilles Mezilis, mixed by Evan Rodaniche, and mastered by Gentry Studer, it’s a vivid snapshot of a rock veteran who continues to evolve without losing his edge.
Balancing his storied history with Guns N’ Roses and his creative pursuits as a solo artist, Reed reaffirms his legacy as a musician who still has plenty left to say — and plenty of fire to say it with. ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Chose Me’ is a reminder that true artists don’t just play rock and roll — they live it.
