You got time for the Izzy game?

[Darkenchantress]

Day 3. Five all time Izzy's lyrics.

Not sure if I have to post the whole song, the title or the lyrics I like most?  OK, the last one it is.

-Dust n' bones: 

There's no logic here today
Do as you got to, go your own way
I said that's right
Time's short your life's your own
And in the end
We are just
DUST N' BONES

-River:

You can run like a river
Till you end up in the sea
And you run till night is black
And keep on going in your dream
And you know all the long while
It's the journey that you seek
It's the miles of moving forward
With the wind beneath your wings.

-How will it go:

However time is left
To tell
And if time will tell
I'm listenin'
I'd walk a long, long mile for you
And I don't really know
What I'm to do, yeah
Guess I'll just write
This song for you
I guess there's nothing else
I'd rather do.

-Pretty Tied Up:

Once there was this rock n' roll band
Rollin' on the streets
Time went by and it became a joke
We just needed more and more fulfilling... uh-huh
Time went by and it all went up in smoke.

-Patience:

Said woman take it slow and things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said sugar take the time 'cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, I'll never break it
'Cause I can't take it.

This was fucking hard.

[Zoot]

Day 3: (Not in any order)

Good Enough:

Good enough for someday
Good enough for me
Good enough for someone
Good enough ya see

Sweet Caress:

Lookin' on the ocean blue
Sail away and think of you
Sweet caress the ocean blue

To Being Alive:

In this world
Of fear
I said love
Bring it here

Dust N' Bones

Time's short your life's your own
And in the end
We are just
Dust n' bones

14 Years

But it's been
Fourteen years of silence
It's been
Fourteen years of pain
It's been
Fourteen years that are gone forever
And I'll never have again

[Fourteenbeers]

Day 3: (still in random order) 

Dust n' Bones: ( I've already posted this, but it's so funny )

She loved him yesterday
He laid her sister
She said O.K.
An that's all right 

 

Patience:

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now

 

Time gone by:

Time fills the pages
Turn the page
Time will not stop
It will have its way on you

 

On Down The Road: (this gives warm cozy feeling)

Cousin Stan's in Houston
Writes about Caroline
Buddy's on the back porch
Drinkin' tea with lime 

 

14 years: ( Izzy's past right there)

So hard to keep my own head...
That's what I say
You know...I've been the dealer...
Hangin' on your street
I was the dog...they all tried to beat

 

[Lumikki]

Day 1: alltime Izzy pics

(How am I supposed to limit myself to just 5? I could post dozens of Izzy pictures, all of which are "my favorite" )

But anyway...

(These two count as one, obviously )

 

These two count as one too:

Link because these refuse to show up for some reason

Same goes for this one. I hate this board.

Sligthly clichéd choice, but who doesn't love the "nipple picture"

Bonus: my avatar lol (a slightly different shot though)

Day 3

1 - "found a head and an arm in a garbage can/dont know why Im here/ living on the run oh so long, I gotta call collect"

2 - "Boredom saturation
It's a never ending clue
Isn't just to fill the time
When there's nothing else to do

She drove on out of New York
She had enough insane
And drivin' just though Texas two days
She ended up in L.A

Shuffle it all
Shuffle it all, yeah
Shuffle it all
Pack up your life again

A pile of records spread out
The covers still look good
Picture here a Peter Tosh's
Startin' down and a smokin' wood

My dog dreaming is running
I see him twitch a paw
My woman playing Dr. Mario
On the TV all night long

Just another cigarette
Staring at the moon, yeah
Then I'm headin' off to bed
Sleepin' without you, yeah

Shuffle it all
Shuffle it all, yeah
Pack up your bags again

It's a long and winding road
Sure enjoy the view, yeah
If you want to see it
Just slow down
You're so welcome to come along

Lookin' for a tune to play
I'm gonna see it again
When the day is over
Try to write you 'bout the rain

Feel the motors winding on
There ain't no news
If you see those old friends out there
Tell them that I send my love

Wake up, time to leave again
Try to find my shoes
Put the luggage in the van
Roll up your Doctor Dolittle

Shuffle it all
Shuffle it all, yeah
Shuffle it all
Pack up your things again
Shuffle it all (Keep movin' along)
Shuffle it all (Keep movin' along)
Shuffle it all (Keep movin' along)
Pack up your life again

Keep on shuffling' "

3 - "I know this chick she lives down on Melrose/She ain't satisfied without some pain"

4- "Everything's alright, everything tonight / so break the pattern / its all that really matters"

5- "Baby Ran away to Vietnam and my dog just salivates"

Day 4. Five all time Izzy quotes

-"Some of the best stuff can be written out of dire times."

-"That's a tough one… music or sex? I'd say sex, if I gotta choose!"

-"There's nothing like throwing up out a bus door, going sixty five miles an hour."

-"Music gave me something to do in my life."

-"What's more boring than a drum solo?" 

[Zoot]

Day 4

"No"

“It is difficult to maintain your mental health when you are surrounded by madness”

"And me, as everybody knows, I used to be in the Bee Gees. Sorry, I always get confused, I meant Guns N' Roses!"

"Music gave me something to do in my life."

"The trouble with quotes on the internet is you can never know if they are genuine"

Well- guy is apparently very talented at both activities - tough choice.

That's not really that impressive.  The Dave Matthews Band's tour bus emptied their whole septic tank on a tourist boat (which going under a bridge, where the bus was driving) 

[dgnr]

DAY 3

- Shuffle It All 

It's a long and winding road
Sure enjoy the view, yeah
If you want to see it
Just slow down
You're so welcome to come along

-Pretty Tied Up

Once there was this rock n' roll band rollin' on the streets
Time went by and it became a joke

-Needles

Found a person out walkin'
Toward Needles
He'd been walkin' for five days
And man it showed
Gave him water
And then asked him
Where he came from
"Mi pueblo está en Mexico" 

-Dust N' Bones

There's no logic here today
Do as you got to, go your own way
I said that's right
Time's short your life's your own
And in the end
We are just
Dust N' Bones

-Toothpuller 

Well we don't have lyrics for this one, but I'm sure it would make my top 5. This is that legendary song Dizzy told us about, when he took a piss at Izzy's songwriting skills. Diswald.Reed.poking.fun.at. Izzy's.lyrics. I mean  

----------------

DAY 4

Izzy's quotes are the best. He can be funny but also so insightful and honest. I wish he gave more interviews.


- 'And this guy, he’s not a Harvard graduate, Axl. He’s just a guy, just a little guy, who sings, is talented. But man, he turned into this fucking maniac'
 

-'But see, whenever we've played with other drummers... I mean, these guys can be meter-perfect but it just has never worked. Stevie's timing is all "up and down", "up and down". It speeds up. Then it slows down. It's fucked up but it works. And like that's the thing about Guns N' Roses. The more fucked up things are the more they seem to work for us.'

- 'I used to be in the Bee Gees. Sorry, I always get confused, I meant Guns N' Roses!'

- 'Show them your buns, Ax'

- 'I had a bus, they had a plane. And I beat them to the gig'

That part is so lovely  Also love the fact that he says it in perfect spanish, he even says "Mejico" instead of "Mexico". He knows his spanish.

 OK playing catch up again, Day 3 Izzy song lyrics

14 years

So hard to keep my own head
Just go away
You know...just like a hooker she said
Nothin's for free

I don't mind

I don't mind, when you wake me up

I don't mind, if you like it rough

I don't mind, I don't mind no

I don't mind, I don't mind go

I can tell you I don't mind Cause I'll tell you one time

I don't mind, when you lemon squeeze

Time gone by

Time fills the pages
Turn the page
Time will not stop
It will have its way on you
Received a letter
from overseas
It said if you come back
Would you like to see me
Then I recognized me
Time has changed my face

How will it go

I'd walk a long, long mile for you
And I don't really know
What I'm to do, yeah
Guess I'll just write
This song for you
I guess there's nothing else
I'd rather do

River

You can run like a river
Till you end up in the sea
And you run till night is black
And keep on going in your dream
And you know all the long while
It's the journey that you seek
It's the miles of moving forward
With the wind beneath your wings

Day 4

"And me, as everybody knows, I used to be in the Bee Gees. Sorry, I always get confused, I meant Guns N' Roses!"

"I just don't like being dictated upon under any circumstances."

“I’m convinced that by putting a warning sticker on a record, the kids are going to throw themselves at it. It’s reverse psychology, and typically hypocritical, but it’s very American…” 

“They didn’t want to split the loot equally."

'Axl, show me your buns."

Day 4

"Thanks to mygnr for all the great support"  (something like that, but naturally the tweet was deleted)

"theres more to it then this. theres gotta be more"

“I thought, well, here’s a guy who’s completely crazy, he’d be a fucking great singer. We had to coax him a bit [and] it didn’t go so well in the early days. Sometimes he would just come over and stand around, like he was embarrassed. Or he’d start to sing and then he’d just leave. Walk out and I wouldn’t see him again for like three days! “Some things don’t change, huh?”

“Well, it’s obviously not Guns N’ Roses, I think all the fans [know that]. It’s not even right that he uses the name, because he’s the only guy. I think ultimately it’s gonna work against him, because people are gonna say ‘Fuck you, wanker’ – that’s what they'll call him here, right?. ‘You fucking wanker, that’s not Guns N’ Roses!’ 

"My Mexican friend Tony took me to meet this woman named Margot at her house. She gave us some tequila or something and she goes in the bedroom and we walk in and there's this big fat naked guy with an onion in his mouth. He's wearing women's underwear and high heels and he's tied up with duct tape against the wall. Me and Tony were like, What the fuck is going on here? Cracking up laughing. She was this dominatrix chick. We sat around her living room for the rest of the afternoon, listening to records, and she'd go in the bedroom and do her thing. At the end of the day she turned him loose and he paid her all this money. She took us out to eat."

Talking about growing up in Indiana
The people, the girls, it was so backward. The girls didn't even know how to dress when they went to gigs! So, the prospects were absolutely

Talking about CD and the Guns and Roses name
I think ultimately it’s gonna work against him, because people are gonna say ‘Fuck you, wanker’ – that’s what they'll call him here, right?. ‘You fucking wanker, that’s not Guns N’ Roses!’ Hopefully, the music’s good, cos if the music isn't good then he’s gonna get the double-whammy…” 

Talking about Slash
It’s insane when I’m going to a store to buy cords for my guitar, and the young employee tries to sell me a Les Paul Guitar with Slash’s name on it. (Laughter) The guy asks me: ' Have you seen the new Slash Les Paul guitar?' I respond to that no, and he says to me: 'Oh, we just got five today!’ (Laughter)”

Talking about taking lead vocals in Juju hounds
"After being in a band with Axl, it's like, you know...who am I going to get. (laughter)".

Izzy seems like a straight talking kind of guy, I noticed in the early interviews he would come across as little obnoxious, as his got older it just to the point, this how I see it, no bullshit. Love it.

[Darkenchantress]

Day 5. Top 5 live performances

1. I love that he totally saves the day when Axl disappears from stage and Slash goes to find him 

 

2. You cannot get any cooler than this.

3. Just look at him 

4. Indiana boys when Axl didn't prefer Lortus 

 

5. He still got it 

Plus, a lot of Juju's shows that I don't post cause they are so damn long.

[Tori72]

My fav life performances

Sorry I got full shows here but I love them.

This is young and cool Izzy and a great camera angle. And I gotta say I love his outfit here. That hat! 

With Juju Hounds Izzy looks so happy and lively.

 

I also love the Patience intro from Melbourne that @Darkenchantress posted and older Izzy with Aerosmith, he is so at ease there. Love it. (Even though I still don't like the hat-suit combination lol. )

I prefer the Izzy hat on Izzy and I like this here, too

Here you go love. Not quite what you asked for.

But if you click the picture... some numb nut has dedicated a whole Twitter account to this subject. if you're interested.  I didn't bother doing any further research on that account.

 

Day 5 (still in random order)

This is before Axl's famous stage dive..

The most kick-ass performance by Izzy. Shame the video quality is so bad.

This is best example that " no stage presence"-Stradlin has plenty of stage presence.

There's better audio version of this on Gn'R Live Era 87-93, but this one has video. Not very good quality. 

I put this here mostly because of the beginning (where Izzy and Slash play Rod Stewart's "I was only joking" as an intro to Patience -shows how good fit they were)

Lol, you naughty girl. You are not gonna start the #bungate, will ya?  I know and appreciate Axl's buns. They used to be the crunchiest in Rock n Roll.  

Anyway, this is the interview in which Izzy says it.

Nope. Not interested in  "gates". That's why it was a picture with pants on.

I thought the show me your buns -interview was this one: (at 7.13.)  Where Izzy was high as fuck
