I don't know his solo material well enough to make a quick judgement. Maybe he improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. I've had this 'discussion' before on here, but at the end of the day it's really subjective so there's no right or wrong. For example, I really like Think About You and Patience but lyrically they are as sappy as any Bryan Adams or Bon Jovi lyric. I once made the analogy between the lyrics of Think About You and a 15 year old's first love letter... just as sappy and cheesy. But the great thing about songs is that if the music and melody are good, which is usually the case with Izzy songs, it doesn't always matter too much how bad the lyrics are. I prefer more cryptic and poetic lyrics, and I suppose that Izzy's lyrics are more straight forward rock 'n roll lyrics.

J Dog Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) 14 Years, good lyrics and good music. Songs like this bring out the best of Guns to me. "Just like a hooker she said, nothing for free" Always loved that line Edited February 17, 2018 by J Dog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
