Yeah but they played on the albums and toured with the band when they were at its peak. I'd give you Gilby Clarke as a hired hand, but I don't hold Matt and Dizzy in that same regard.
Again, I could see it going any way. But if I had to rank it, it'd be the original 5, Dizzy would be in the 6 spot, Matt 7th, and Gilby 8th. Tommy comes in at number 9. Actually now that I think about it, Tommy and others might factor in higher than Gilby. Not Matt and Dizzy though.
I would put Tommy and Dizzy both above Gilby and Matt.

About the Matt and Dizzy thing.
While they have no credits, they were around for some of the key moments.
To me a fall of fame would be deeply connected with popular culture.
Think wresting...is it about technical skill, or is it about remembering guys like "George the Animal Steel" and their antics as much as anything else.
I feel it's a little the same in Rock.
To me GNR gets in because AFD is possibly one of the greatest rock albums ever, and UYI absolutely invaded the conciousness of pop culture. YCBM - NR - those video clips - in the early 1990s those were in everyone's head. That tour that went for 3 years. If you go to a show...you keep the images forever - from slash's hat to Axl's sneakers....
Matt and Dizzy didn't write a lot back then or whatever, but they were a part of that version of GNR which is what most people remember...so I can see they should get their moment.

Besides the fact that he comes across pathetic every time he talks about this stuff, I do think he's right about them owing it to the fans. I don't buy the argument that they don't owe us a damn thing. They wouldn't be millionaires without the fans buying their music in huge numbers over the years.

I don't think they owe us a reunion performance at all. If they want to do it, then they should do it. They shouldn't do it because other people want them to, or because they feel it's expected of them.
