2020_Intensions Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I know he's released a couple songs past few years but do you think he's pretty much retired at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) I would say so. Hell, you could argue Axl is at the least creatively retired as well. Edited December 12, 2019 by AxlRoseCDII 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willl Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I hope not I think he's probably still writing and recording songs but is choosing not to release them for some reason. It's only been 3 years since he last put out music (6 songs in 2016), but yeh it's been 9 years since he released a full album so maybe he is semi retired? He still tweets once a year so he's not fully retired yet 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombux Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 he probably just doesn't give a flying fuck about anything, especially about a nostalgia act with all its laundry bags and yo-yos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl's vision? WTHell. What vision? Following Izzy out to CA. Izzy befriending this guy, Axl, in high school for a garage band. Fsst forward. Izzy and all 4 guys living on the edge, hand to mouth, barely existing. Slash and Stevie ,friends from school. Some blond, skinny called Duff. These 5 guys meeting up who were the perfect mix. Ok.

The blatant insults are unnecessary but I can certainly understand why some fans (myself included) are tired of hearing about them when it's pretty clear that they won't be rejoining the band any time soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 My brother has a friend named JT and he's worked with Izzy on some of his albums. I think the last time he worked with Izzy was a couple of years ago. I think before Slash and Duff re-joined GNR. Axl said Izzy likes to drive around in his bus. lol Let's face it the guy doesn't have to work for money anymore. I'm sure he's comfy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020_Intensions Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 Can we lock this thread?

It’s based off a quote Axl from an interview where he something to that effect. I agree somewhat with Axl. Izzys lifestyle is somewhat based off Axl’s vision for the band.

Kelmi Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I heard that Izzy is doing charity for the homeless in L.A and west coast. I heard from a radio from finnish rockstar Rane Raitsikka that Izzy drives his motorcycle and gives food to the homeless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaya Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 So the title of thread is has he retired? He is not part of GNR and wont be. He does not do social media. He ghosts fsns and personslly, I dont think he is that close with Duff, Slash . Stradlin doesn't put out his hobby of songs anymore.Clearly, he is just living a good retired life at 57 going on 58. I think it is kind of neat to have ended his story his way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacdaniel Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Izzy essentially retired in 91. I don’t think he’s done anything full time with 100% dedication since. Well for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rocknroll41 Posted December 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2019 If the man has retired, then I would just like to thank him for all of his great contributions to music, and for keeping his integrity, and his cool! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerInThisTown Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Unless they have absolutely no intention to play anymore, no one announces a retirement from music. Just look at Van Halen or ACDC, are they retired? Ozzy and Paul Mccartney are in their 70s and still releasing albums and Chuck Berry even played shows at 90 years old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
