I couldn't resist. I had to say something, too. I've said before, but I'll say it again: Izzy fans are the best fans. I see pretty awesome Izzy fans here in this forum (on this thread and also elsewhere) But the man has quite little to do with his fans anymore. And that is fucking frustrating. I know that being reclusive is part of who Izzy is ( whether reason for that is his personality, his life situation or his past) I also know that getting tons of stupid/crazy tweets from morons and weirdos (or other forms of harassment) is not gonna help him to became more social towards his fans. I’m sure that’s the reason why the tweeting ended or at least it was big part of it. I too found his antics on the social media adorable and entertaining. This has probably been said here before (in some form), but it would’ve been really nice if he would just get contacts from people who aren't crazy and know how to behave. (in other words – not me ) Getting positive experiences on social media usually encourages people to use it more (and negative experiences tend to have the opposite effect –duh) If Izzy would announce publicly that's he's done with everything: no music, no social media, nor anything to do with Gn'R anymore etc. – maybe that would be easier for me to except (that’s a big maybe, I’m not sure at all.) The situation here is kind of paranoid, fans are just waiting (or hoping) something to happen. Speculating: is something going to happen? Is it gonna be something #HUGE or something else? Or maybe nothing...? I'm not saying that this applies to all fans, but some of them anyway. Sorry about the rant.. I just had to get it out of my system. Maybe I just have to except the situation - it is what it is - and there's nothing I can do about it. Maybe it would be easier to be a Slash fan P.S. R.I.P Adam West. When I was a kid I used to watch reruns of old 60’s Batman tv- series and I had a #HUGE crush on him. I have watched some reruns again during last couple of years and laughed my ass off. As a kid I thought the series was really exciting. I didn’t realize that it was a comedy at the time.

Izzy has done more for his fans than any of the other gunners by miles. His job - if you want to consider it that - is to produce music and he's done that consistently for years. Everything else is just a bonus. He doesn't owe us anything and to get pissed at him for not giving you more than that is having unfair expectations. I don't see why he should have to get in contact with any fans either. I'm sure he has plenty of friends in his real life, so why would he need to reach out to a bunch of strangers? Strangers who could easily cause a bunch of drama for him if he's not careful? That wouldn't be a good idea for any celebrity.

I agree Izzy doesn't owe us anything especially because he never promised anything to us. Of course it would be awesome to see him more often, though, but it is what it is.

Popular Post Archtop Posted June 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2017 I think I have posted along these lines before, if you think about it Izzy has since the reunion created a Twitter, given two accoustic covers from his home, four new songs all released on various download platforms and a shout out to this fan site. None of which he stands to make any considerably profit from, in comparison his band mates having us shelling out a shit load of money for a tour that they stand to make millions from. Where's the personal touch? On a personal level Izzy's doing great, with no management, no media presence he has managed to reach out to us, yes a few more tweets here and there would brighten my day and I still can't work out why he doesn't utilise social media more to his advantage, but I guess he doesn't need too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabanana Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I just wish that he'd post a new song. I mean how hard can it be? Get a guitar, sit down on a chair, record yourself, sing then post it on twitter and YouTube. He's done it before so just do it again. But I kinda don't want him to do what steven did. Coz after the initial euphoria of seeing Steven it just kinda felt sad, like he deserves better than that. If Steven or Izzy plays on a show then do the whole show not just a song or 2. Plus if I was there after their appearance and then back to Fortus and Ferrer I would kinda feel sucky. That's just me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BorderlineCrazy Posted June 12, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2017 What's going on in here? Since when it's such a crime to wish Izzy would release more music? I haven't seen anyone talking shit about him or disrespecting him in any way so I don't understand the overreaction. As far as I know, everyone here would want to hear new stuff from Izzy. At the same time, we all know Izzy does what he wants when he wants and (wishful thinking aside) everyone seems to be fine with it. I don't know, I'm probably wrong but personally I get upset when I see people claiming GNR don't need Izzy or he's not a good songwriter, not when people love Izzy and wishes he could release more music. I love Izzy and I totally understand the feeling. Demanding him to do stuff would be wrong IMO but not wishing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
