Nintari Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Anybody else get the feeling that Izzy only created a Twitter account and is now promoting this new music because he feels he can capitalize (make more money) off of the GNR threunion? I know he's always made music, but the timing of the Twitter account... I don't know. Seems pretty odd to me.

Seems pretty odd to me. no doubt, izzy only cares about money, thats why he left GNR in 1991 when the band stopped making money and thats why he released a dozen of albums with zero promotion the guy is clearly money-driven how disgusting (very machiavellian) was the timing of izzy's twitter account, huh? actually if you ask me there should be a law against musicians who create twitter accounts no musician should be allowed to communicate with fans and no musician should be allowed to try and promote their music 21 minutes ago, killuridols said: I know but he always posed it like "I'm so hippy I don't need this bloated band, bloated tours, bloated videos, I'm gone to be an indie artist" whatever bullshit he was selling for the last 2 decades. exactly, those were his exact words! and thats exactly what izzy meant! you got it so right! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post willl Posted June 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Izzy releasing yet another free song for his fans - and that makes the guy a money whore? In 2016 Izzy has released THREE songs for FREE direct to his fans. The threeunion on the other hand is the complete opposite - are tickets still $200 each? No reason at all for fans to dislike Izzy just because he finally signed up for Twitter. Didn't he say the only reason he signed up was because their was a lack of information coming from GNR about who was in the lineup, and at the time Alan Niven and a few others were running their mouths saying that Izzy would definitely be making guest appearances with them when it simply wasn't true.

And that makes me dislike him pretty much. Izzy 'promoting music' to 'capitalize (make more money) off of the GN'R reunion''? What absurdity is this? This is a man who walked away from the biggest band in the world, on the cusp of their economic success, only to release eleven solo albums with next to no promotion, little to no touring and few music videos (there were two for the first). Izzy began putting out solo albums solely online before just about everybody else, when he surely could have still been releasing stuff via the record companies!! This is a man who does not care about album sales. If you are discussing the amount of copies extra Stradlin will benefit from this hybrid charade, you are going to be in double digits. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DieselDaisy Posted June 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2016 ....and meanwhile Axl has sold Budweiser, become a Vegas wash-out and played private birthday bashes; Slash has played with just about everybody from Puff Daddy to the Black Eyed Peas, appearing at the Superbowl in a glittery top-hat. Izzy's little rock n' roll albums, released with minimum fanfare on indies or online, are clearly cash grabbing of the highest order compared with those two stalwarts of garage rock ethics. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounded pretty pissed off for not being part of the reunion. The threeunion has to put on a whole fucking show, pay a lot of people to have this happening. Izzy never does 1/4 of what GNR do but oh yeah, he wants the benefits of it. Not to mention he gets the royalties from albums that are being promoted by the hard work of the threeunion. If he signed up on Twitter to clarify that then his job has been over for quite some months. Now he's riding on something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy was there on the shows, making so much money right? thats SO SUSPICIOUS! now, in the new millenium, when there is no internet and the album sales have exploded (last time I heard appetite sold 20 million copies on the last 4 years) and the live shows make next to no money with really low ticket prices, now where is Izzy? huh? Izzy left the band and axl and the boys have to do all the extremely hard work on the live shows to promote this 1987 album making almost no money on the shows and izzy receives all these million dollars from royalties. thats SO SUSPICIOUS! i wonder why you dont post more often on Izzy-related threads...

Does Izzy live a cool life because of his indie little rock n roll albums or is it thanks to the music he did with Guns N Roses? Who keeps the Guns N Roses brand alive? Izzy Stradlin? lmao You are basically proving my own point here. Yes, Stradlin's solo albums don't sell; the first two sold alrightish; the rest went out on Indies, in Japan, online or free. He doesn't promote them and in all honestly gives off the impression that he does not give two shits about their sales figures. And you are correct. Izzy's biggest income springs from the massive songwriting contributions he made to Guns N' Roses. He was awarded the same contractual situation as the other four songwriters but happened to write more songs than Slash and Duff. It is fair he should be adequately compensated whenever GN'R (whatever mutation they are at that present moment!) decide to use his songs - 'Patience' or 'Think About You' for instance. Maybe you are too used to Axl with his little white shorts and Slosh soling on a cliff-top, drawing in cheesy pop girls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lead guitars, the bass lines and the amazing lyrics. Did the drums too (during breaks). He even sang all the songs. Axl's incredible range is a big ass fiasco. It's actually Izzy's voice. They just put Axl up there because of his beautiful baby face, to attract the girls, but the real talent behind it is Mr. Izzy Stradlin. It's a ONE MAN band. The orchestra man. Jeffrey Dean Isbell. The myth, the legend, the icon. 16 minutes ago, ludurigan said: wow, you are so ON POINT! the timing is absolutely suspicious! izzy never did this before! no one has done such a snake move before! izzy is actually the first musician to create a twitter account! what a cold-hearted mercenary! actually if izzy had any decency left in his mercenary-money-driven-heart he would wait two years until the hard working promotion threeunion worldwide tour is over to release this vomit-song! yeah, i know where you coming from when you said that he is "pretty pissed off for not taking part on the reunion". only a fool wouldnt notice that! remember that MTV interview a few weeks ago? when all he did was badmouth axl and the boys? what was that? 30 fuckin minutes badmouthing the hardest working band in rock n roll! and what about his pathetic appearance on letterman yesterday when all he could do was complain that he was not included in the threeunion? he even went to say about all the money he was to lose etc etc! what a pathetic money-driven lazy-poser vomit-song maker! === oh, and one more thing! i have to say how correct you are when you say that axl and the boys are working so hard to promote an album that was released in 1987. the boys are really promoting these albums! some naysayers love to say that its a nostalgia act and that axl is milking appetite to the last drop but thats so untrue! he is hard working promoting this album! remember back in the 80s and 90s? when internet was still working and there were no album sales because nobody bought albums so all the money was made in the live shows which had very expensive ticket prices? where was Izzy?

Izzy did do this before, over and over again. He's just using a different platform this time around. He's done the CD-direct-to-fan route, he's given fans free songs and samples many times, pretty much the only interviews he's done in the last 15 years have been with Izzy fansites, he released Baby Rann for free on Youtube even though their was no album or tour to whore out etc. The guy still doesn't have a record label, or management, or even a website. Its not, as you put it "bullshit he's been selling for the last 2 decades"..... it's just Izzy, he releases music regularly with minimal fanfare and that's why a lot of us love the guy. FYI I'm not a GNR 2016 hater. I went to Vegas from the UK, but I'm always going to fight Izzys corner because his songwriting appeals to me far more than anyone else in Guns. He writes very catchy 3 minute rock songs about everyday shit which I can relate too. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
