Słash Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 when on a flight to Japan with the other Gunners and ordered by his manager to get rid of all drugs about his person and Izzy had done so accordingly, sending himself straight into a coma lasting thirty-six hours that almost necessitated canceling the gigs they'd come to play. I remember Steven mentioning this in his book or in an interview before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archtop Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Anyone else get the feeling that there are things in Izzy past that really don't sit with him very well. I think of the themes that repeat in his songs moving fordward, walking, on down the road. I have the impression his not comfortable, or has not reconciled with his early life of debauchery? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. That's probably also why he refused to do that interview with his ex gf's involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Darkenchantress Posted November 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2016 This has been posted before but it deserves to be here Quote A second ago, things were merely tense. Izzy Stradlin, Guns n' Roses' scruffy rhythm guitarist, is slumped on a dressing-room counter, sullenly draining his second bottle of red wine and testing the wattage of a portable stereo. Sitting on a couch, trying to talk above the racket, are Axl Rose, the group's singer, and Slash, the lead guitarist. Slash, whose copper skin is still wet from a post-concert shower, is wearing shorts and holding a bottle of Jack Daniels, his only constant companion. Axl is wearing jeans, cowboy boots and a T-shirt that says, WELCOME TO DETROIT, MURDER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. Axl and Slash are getting increasingly angry with Izzy, who grins obliviously and cranks up the Rolling Stones' "Stupid Girl." At the base of the wall nearest the door, there is a fresh hole the exact size of Axl's boot. This evening's concert, the last of three mid-August dates opening for Aerosmith at Pine Knob Music Theatre, near Detroit, went so poorly that the band left the stage five minutes early. And when the Gunners don't play well, trouble ensues. While the band members sit in the dressing room, their sound mixer and a bus driver are being fired for alleged incompetence. Suddenly, there's an explosion. "Violent mood swing!" shouts Izzy, rolling from the counter. A bottle of vodka flies from his hand and smashes against the far wall. "Mood swing!" shouts Axl, leaping from the couch. He grabs a vase filled with roses and pitches it in the same direction. Just as quickly, Izzy and Axl are seated again. But all that smashed glass hasn't relieved the tension. The bottle of vodka belonged to bassist Duff "Rose" McKagan, who is now without his favorite liquor and is therefore enraged. Slash, too, is pissed at Izzy, who still won't turn down the stereo. "This is entertaining," says Axl, watching and smiling. After Slash and Duff have finished yelling at him, Izzy turns remorseful. "Fuckin' Duff, man. I never like to break his vodka. I know he loves that vodka." http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/the-hard-truth-about-guns-n-roses-19881117 Isn't he an adorable little shit? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkenchantress Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 The only one I found apart from that vid is this: Quote - I love recording like this, means Slash. During Appetite..., Lies and Use Your... I had to put up with Izzy the whole time. I never liked playing with him. It was wonderful to escape him on this record. It sounds tighter and so much cooler than anything we've done before. I always got irritated over Izzy's way of playing. It didn't sound right. Before "Spaghetti", we erased his guitar and Gilby put on a new one. It sounded perfect! http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=13 Did Slash really say all that bullshit? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was after Izzy had left. They were still pissed off at him. Of course he wasnt gonna say anything good about him, Just like how Axl had dedicated Double Talkin Jive for the better part of 93 to Izzy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoot Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I remember there was an interview where they asked Izzy about Slash's comments and he was like "No, that's Axl talking and Slash repeating it." or something like that. But I thought it was about Demo tapes. Not Izzy's playing. As far as I've heard Slash always liked Izzy but wanted to be the only guitarist. That was his only issue. The demo interview was hilarious though because Izzy was his usual smartass self and said something along the lines of "Well, I guess he's right. Slash always did label his demos nicely." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkenchantress Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I think they really liked or at least respected each other. Slash called Izzy to be on his solo record I dont think you do that with someone you hate to work with. He was probably pissed when he said that or whatever, I recall reading Slash also saying a few years ago something like he had never sounded better than with Izzy by his side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to say Slash was drunk and high when he said that you would have to be smoking crack to think that! It really doesn't matter now seeing as Izzy and slash have worked together since. What about Axl shunning Izzy when he went round to his house? He saw him on the security camera and said he didn't want to answer! I think Izzy reached out to the others after the break up much more than they did to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
