Popular Post Słash Posted August 31, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2016 Its been 25 years, I was not even born then, his last show was at the Wembley Stadium, he did join the band for a few shows in 93' as Gilby had injured his hand. Hope to see Izzy back in his band. Over the years Izzy has released some really good music, listen to Gotta Say and Sweet Caress if you haven't heard. He has done Avocado farming and I assume a course in Photoshop also lol Again hope to see him back on stage with his old buddies. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/izzy-stradlin-last-guns-n-roses-show/ 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom-Ass Posted August 31, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2016 I would have never thought that Frank would be a better fit for the band than Fortus but now that the tour is over, that is how I see it. And judging from the sound of the band and crowd reaction with Steven on drums, that isn't saying Frank is the best fit by any means.

Popular Post Słash Posted August 31, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2016 Fortus was great in Axl's solo band, but even Axl din't see any potential in Fortus. He joined Axl's band in late 2001 and when CD got released in 2008. Fortus had just a 5 second guitar part in the whole album. CD was Axl's baby and he wanted it to be perfect, yeah its an excuse for the delay, but even in that Ron who joined in 2006, who had fights with band members and the management had way more guitar parts on the album. Atlas Shrugged which was supposed to be on CD. Axl told Ron to play the solo and not to Fortus. Fortus is no where near Izzy. Izzy is an amazing talented musician, even when he played the lead stuff, it went so nicely with Slash, they really complemented each other. The solo's which Fortus does, it just doesn't sounds right. I don't blame Fortus completely, he is just a hired hand, I do blame Axl, Duff and Slash that when they can easily bring in Izzy who is an amazing song writer, they just hire a guitarist who will take less money. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Don't turn this thread into Izzy vs Fortus unless you want it locked. Izzy's contributions can be discussed without bringing Richard into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can tell him all we want in his account nah i think it would make more of a statement if we all showed up en masse perhaps with protest signs with an avocado on them with a red slash across the avocado! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy>Gilby>Fortus I have thought this for some time. I don't mind Frank tbh, no one's going to fit as good as Steven, he'll do. With Izzy's position it could be much better. I never thought I'd even care much if Gilby came back, but he and Frank would be a good line-up going forward.

IncitingChaos Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Izzy doesn't seem to have the interest in learning anything outside of what he did with gnr and therefore he will never be a full time member of the band again and will never expect to get paid what the other guys make. Izzy is like 96 Slash to Axl now, not interested in anything new or working hard so why bother. Im sure guest appearances were talked about but sounds like business got in the way of friends getting back together. oh well thank you for the incredible music over the years Mr. Stradlin, you were a huge puzzle piece in gnr and not sure you could ever be fully replaced. Hope to see you with the guys again soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archtop Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Would really like a statement from either camp on the whole Izzy situation. I can not fathom why he made the effort to join Twitter regarding his participation in the April shows, then goes no further. He does not come over as the type to conform to a gag order, if one was slapped on him especially if it is (rumoured) because of a money issue. Perhaps he will join the band at destinations he would like to visit, he spoke in 2008 about touring in Argentina, so maybe South America. Expected his third song to drop in August but it's not happened, maybe it's harvest time in the advacado world? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, sometime ago he said he had three songs in the works. Don't know if it's still on his Twitter, for some odd reason he deletes a lot of his tweets?
