Popular Post auad Posted October 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2016 Rock music has produced some memorable tandem guitar teams: Keef and Ronnie, Angus and Malcolm, Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing to name a few. But Slash and Izzy Stradlin, with the original lineup of Guns N’ Roses, have to go down as one of the coolest duos ever. Gutter rats Slash and Izzy had just enough yin and yang going on to provide the color and contrast that made them more than the ordinary lead and rhythm guitar team. Both loved similar bands, like Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin, but Izzy’s tastes leaned more toward groove-oriented bands like the Rolling Stones and the Doors, with a healthy dose of punk rock thrown in, while Slash loved guitar heroes like Michael Schenker and Jeff Beck. The combination of Slash’s rough-edged pyrotechnic solos and Izzy’s raw power chords and off-kilter rhythms resulted in an unusual mish-mash with massive crossover appeal that metalheads, punks, glam poseurs, pop fans and classic rockers loved alike. Slash and Izzy also made vintage guitars cool again, strapping on Gibson Les Pauls, Telecasters and ES-175 hollowbodies when most guitarists were playing DayGlo superstrats, pointy metal weapons or minimalist headstock-less Stein-bortions. Balding guitar players also have Slash and Izzy to thank for making hats fashionable rocker attire during a time when big hair was all the rage. http://www.guitarworld.com/30-most-badass-guitarists-all-time 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Those were the days! Although Slash and Richard were awesome during the tour, but Izzy was missed, so was Steven. Maybe one day soon they will all reunite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nosaj Thing Posted October 6, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2016 Izzy is an awesome, true rock star. Fortus is a hired hand session musician playing Izzy's songs and written material for money. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) I like both Izzy and Richard -fuck me, right?

Słash Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 @Caraibes I hope you know that the Rhythm parts are composed by Izzy which just Fortus covers. He has zero contribution to GNR. All he does is covers parts by Izzy, Robin, Bucket and Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkenchantress Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 He's trolling, right? He has to, even Fortus himself would laugh at that. And just for the record, I like Fortus, but he CANT replace Izzy when it comes to what he means to GnR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
