Darren Arthur "Dizzy" Reed (born June 18, 1963) is an American musician.

Reed was born as Darren Arthur Reed on June 18, 1963, in Hinsdale, Illinois, and was raised in Colorado.

Reed was described as reclusive and introverted, however he has since denied this.

His grandmother began teaching him to play the organ when he was a young child, and before he was out of elementary school, he formed small local bands.

As an adult, Reed pursued a music career in Los Angeles.

1980

He was a founding member of the club band The Wild in the late 1980s, with whom he spent five years.

1985

Reed met the classic lineup of Guns N' Roses in 1985 while his band, The Wild, rehearsed in a neighboring studio.

1988

He also has a daughter named Morgan and one son (Justin Gunn-Reed born in 1988) from a previous relationship.

1990

He is best known as the keyboardist for the hard rock band Guns N' Roses, with whom he has played, toured, and recorded since 1990.

He kept in touch, and in 1990 was invited by friend Axl Rose to join their recording of the two Use Your Illusion albums and their subsequent tour.

Reed soon became an accepted member of the group and appeared on every album from Use Your Illusion I onward.

As a member of Guns N' Roses, Reed has become well known for his keyboard, piano, and backing vocal work on such songs as "Estranged", "Live and Let Die", "November Rain", "Garden of Eden", "Civil War", "Yesterdays", and "Knockin' On Heaven's Door".

In addition to playing keyboards or piano, Reed frequently provides backup on percussion and vocals during live Guns N' Roses performances of older songs, such as "Mr. Brownstone", "Nightrain", "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Rocket Queen".

Reed continues to record and play live with the current Guns N' Roses line-up, and has now been a member of Guns N' Roses longer than any other member besides Axl Rose.

Although Reed did not co-write any songs during the Illusion sessions, for Chinese Democracy he co-wrote "Chinese Democracy", "Catcher in the Rye", "Street of Dreams", "There Was a Time", "I.R.S", and "Oh My God".

It has also been confirmed that the unfinished demo that did not make the cut on Chinese Democracy, called "Silkworms", was written by Reed and the band's other keyboardist Chris Pitman.

The song was re-worked and released as a single under the title "ABSUЯD" in 2021.

Outside of Guns N' Roses, Reed played on albums for his former bandmates Slash, Duff McKagan, and Gilby Clarke.

They have two daughters: Skye, born in 1992 and Shade, born in 1996.

2004

He also guested on former Guns N' Roses bassist Tommy Stinson's 2004 solo effort Village Gorilla Head.

Reed is additionally a fan of Larry Norman, a pioneer of Christian music, and played on Norman's Copper Wires album.
