If it's ever gonna happen again, it'll be because the key players involved want it to happen. If they aren't interested, nothing is going to force their hand. Not even the fans. And that's the truth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Bone Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Lol. This thread is entertaining. I'd love to have him play a concert, even if I most likely wouldn't be able to go. Actually, I'd like a solo concert much more than one with GNR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 He clearly can't be arsed. I remember Izzy talking about some gigs in the mid '00s but nothing came of it. He just cannot be fucked. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeneral Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Somebody should do one for Axl to release new music. Pah, like that'll help... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Archtop Posted July 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2018 Well done @Boogs it’s a great idea, I have faith 😀 I hope Izzy sees it. If you achieve nothing else Izzy can’t fail to see the appreciation and fan base he has for his SOLO music. It might come to nothing or it might just give him a little motivation to try something, a one off with friends. Hell at this point I would be quite happy with another little video of Izzy and his acoustic guitar. I say, if you don’t try, it won’t happen. So to all the Debbie Downers out there why so negative. 👎🏼 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) If he even just posted acoustic versions of his songs on Youtube that'd be major fanservice! Dust N' Bones acoustic! Edited July 27, 2018 by Ant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derick Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Sorry guys, but asking Izzy to do a solo show is exactly the same as asking Axl to release a new GNR song. This will only happen when they want to, when they feel like it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogs Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 There are some fantastic people in here who not only read, signed and shared the petition, but took the time to leave a positive comment in this thread - Izzy fans are so cool. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably just wants fairness. I wonder what was agreed on for the CD tour appereances and how that came about. So glad I got to see him perform with Axl back then at least once. To me Axl/Izzy is much more important than Axl/Slash but I understand I'm probably in the minority about that. Not so sure about that. "They wouldn't split the loot equally" and "FP Money" pretty much means money does have a lot to do with why he's not in the reunion.

His position is a little different than say Richard's. Both valuable musicians, but one is a legendary songwriter and the other one is a hired hand with not a single note of music or just one lyric to acually show up for in this band. Guess who deserves more money by any common standard? I doubt Izzy would come out of Izzyland for nothing, and if he really felt like touring much he could put together an all star band any time. I believe he would have done this reunion for GNR and even contributed to a new album, but he probably doesn't put up with the least amount of bullshit anymore and just wants fairness and clarity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone can petition him to perform anywhere unless he fucking feels like it. Dude's got 11 albums filled with great songs and very good songs and good songs. Dude's written some fantastic songs 30 years ago that are being used and abused on a daily basis by his former comrades on their half billion dollars No Loot Left On This Lifetime quest. Dude's mentioned over the years that he actually thought more than once about playing those songs HIS WAY. For every 100 "fans" that paid to watch Guns n Aliens Loot Tour, there must be at least 1 person that knows who Izzy is, that knows and loves his music and would be very much willing to pay to watch the best rhythm guitar player ever (sorry Keith, Malcom) performing live. Yeah, I also doubt anyone can petition him to perform anywhere unless he fucking feels like it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an assumption, and extrapolation, if you will. If we're playing this game, I'd like to believe he LOVES playing gigs... when they're done PROPERLY.

He could have toured solo, but there have been various issues. Info on Izzy's touring history post GnR: http://www.izzyontour.com/OnTour.htm He was also going to play with the New York Dolls around 2000 but for some reason he didn't do it in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it sounds just silly. If Izzy loves touring or playing live and if Axl loves releasing new music, they are damn good at hiding it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikeADog93 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I signed it. Why not? Nothing to lose but a lot to gain. I honestly would rather Izzy play a solo gig with his usual guys (Rick Richards, Taz Bentley, JT Longoria). His solo material is great stuff and to hear a lot of it live for the first time would be killer. At this point, I've heard the GNR songs way too many times and am kind of tired of them. I would prefer something new. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably likes playing live, like most musicians, but clearly not enough to go out and do it. How many times has he played live in the last 25 years? Not a lot. He could do it with his own band, on his own terms, but for whatever reason he chooses not to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony adler Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Ancient evil: yes I see you’re point, he almost died from drugs and cleaned himself up and stuck with it, very proud of him for that, he had to put his life first before the band and it must have been hell On a side note, has anyone been to axl and izzy’s Home town ( Lafayette)? I really want to go and check out that pizza place axl loves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
