The Holographic Universe Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 As long as I have been fan I can't recall hearing that Izzy legally had his name changed to Izzy Stradlin' but the UYI cd booklets give him writing credits under Stradlin' while Slash is listed as Hudson. Does anyone here know if Izzy legally changed him name like Axl? Pointless question, but I'm curious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have an idea why he listed as Stradlin' for writing credits where as Slash is listed as Hudson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 In my booklet Slash is listed as Slash I think. But Axl is always Rose. And Duff is McKagan. So I should check that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Yeah DNB is Stradlin McKagan Slash Maybe Slash just doesn't have a second name legally as a band writer. Or are they stage names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 They could probably chose what name is in the credits. Legally it's handled somewhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOSSY78 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Never came across anything about him changing his name legally. I assume it uses last name and Slash would still be Hudson. Izzy's stage name included a last name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 In my UYI booklet Slash is credited as Slash. I don't think Izzy's ever changed his name legally in Izzy Stradlin so I think they choosed the writing credit's name on their own. Izzy choosed Stradlin, Slash choosed Slash, Axl choosed Rose. It's their album and their booklet so they could have done what they wanted, right? Slash is credited as Hudson since his self named Album was released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that's how it works, the publishing documentation would have the legal names. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post James Bond Posted December 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2016 I wonder how many times Slash has gone to sign a bank statement or something and out of habit did his usual signature with the top hat skull logo. "Uh... Mr. Hudson... you've signed outside the box." 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaguns1982 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I read in one of the books, maybe duffs? That slashes original check from geffen when they signed was made out to "stash" by mistake, meaning if they originally intended to make it out to slash, wouldn't that mean his name has been legally changed to slash? Not sure how checks work in the U.S but over here, a cheque can only be written out to your legal name or business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress Fracture Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Their legal names first featured in the Greatest Hits credits, I think. Axl's first name is still technically William (or W.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically speaking, the single " ' " would replace a letter that has been removed. If I said runnin' as opposed to running, or walkin' as opposed to walking, or stradlin' as opposed to stradling.

Frey Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Slash's legal name is still Saul Hudson. He mentioned being glad that he didnt change his name not too long ago, because cops and so on don't realize who he is when they ask him for ID and see "Saul Hudson" on there. Izzy's and Duff's legal names Jeffrey Dean Isbell and Michael Andrew McKagan. They never changed their names either. The only one who legally changed his name is Axl. It says W. Axl Rose in his passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Izzy obviously wants to keep a level of anonymity. A lot of people make publishing deals through law firms or a representative and those signed documents are in those files. He'd have to be a homeowner or registered voter to know what name he uses as a private citizen, and a home can be "owned" under a business name. If he has his own recording studio for commercial use or there actually is an avocado farm, that's probably public record. Anyone who makes significant changes to their home has to make it publicly known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To stand or sit with a leg on each side of; bestride: straddle a horse. b. To be on both sides of; extend over or across: a car straddling the centerline. Izzy the middle man between Axl n Slash?

Izzy the middle man between Axl n Slash? it's a slang term for a sexual position where the woman "straddles" the man her on top legs spread like straddling a horse...or a man straddles the woman, legs apart, him on top. that's my best guess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
