Seen GNR three times in the space of one year and all it did was feed this craving in me to see Izzy by himself, performing his rare, bare solo music on stage. The question is: are there enough people who think like this, and who will sign the petition, even if they think Izzy “just wants to be left alone” (when did he say that anyway!), and impress Izzy enough for him to put on a show for us?? Yup I’m one of the extremely unfortunate to hs never seen Izzy play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogs Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Quick update: the petition is getting close to 800, and has been shared in at least 17 countries so far. It’s no secret that Izzy has been recording some new songs, which means our call for a live Izzy concert could very well reach him when the stars line up and he’s ready to share them.

waxl1974 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Do you really think that Izzy would pay any attention to a petition for him to play a show? He may appreciate the sentiment of the idea but Izzy does things on his terms and always has. I am just grateful that I got to see him play his last show as a member of the band back at Wembley in 91 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is, but fans wanted to create a petition, something that worked in the past and try it again so, whats the big deal? Nobody is obligated to sign it if they feel its not worth 30 seconds of their time. I bet writte a message here bashing the petition takes way more time than signing it.

Popular Post Tori72 Posted August 25, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2018 There’s coverage of the fan petition going on on rolling stone, Loudwire, and several international rock magazines (Italy, Germany, Poland...) As far as I remember. Here’s the Loudwire thing: http://loudwire.com/izzy-stradlin-petition-return-to-the-stage/ WHERE’S IZZY?: PETITION STARTED TO HAVE RECLUSIVE FORMER GUNS N’ ROSES GUITARIST RETURN TO THE STAGE "Where's Izzy?" That sign sparked suspicion amongst Guns N' Roses fans in their 1991 video for "Don't Cry," and not long after that, it was revealed that Izzy Stradlin was leaving the group. Years later, the question of "Where's Izzy?" remains. While the guitarist has released music over the years, he's remained out of the spotlight and performances have been fewer and far between. However, a group of Stradlin's fans are hoping that a new petition will catch his attention and inspire him to return him to the public eye. "We miss you on stage. Please consider playing one concert, just one show, just you and your music, all on your terms of course," opens the message to Izzy in the petition launched by Carlene Bender and the Izzy Stradlin Fan Group. The message continues, "If you're happy to do more, or to tour, even better. But for now, all we're asking for is just one (solo) show. We’re happy with whatever you’re happy with: your venue, your backing band, no backing band, new songs, old songs, covers, anything, everything. Online or in person; live or pre-recorded; acoustic or plugged; we just want to see and hear you performing." The petition then goes on to state that the signees will do their best to support said show by attending, spreading the word and purchasing merchandise. Since the petition launched, fans have also been getting the word out by using #Izzyconcert2018 on Twitter. See a video compilation above. Earlier this year, it was revealed by former Guns N' Roses manager Alan Niven that Stradlin had attended a soundcheck at one of the current GN'R lineup's shows, but left afterward and didn't return for the gig. It should be noted that the petition for Stradlin to play a show is not tied to his Guns N' Roses involvement. The petition is solely interested in just having Stradlin return to the concert stage.

EvanG Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Just now, Tori72 said: I’m sure his friends and family did. What a sordid thing to say. I was being funny. But to react seriously, it's not sordid at all. If it would get as much social media attention as getting a guy who doesn't want to play live to play a concert, it might have led to new information on a very serious case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
