    Izzy Stradlin's guitar on UYI Records

    in 2010

    Posted

    Izzy didn't like the Marshall sound Slash brought with him on the UYI records. He said that he only spent two weeks recording his stuff on the album, and the rest spent around a year.

    "On the last record I wasn't around for the mixes, and when they finished them you really don't hear my guitar at all. It was just a big Les Paul through a Marshall sound on most of the songs. Live, it got to the point where I didn't even know if the audience could hear my guitar."

    Mainly a screen vid, but you can see some Axl and Duff interaction at the start.

    The guy who uploaded is planning on putting up a better sound quality one later.

    At the end, when Axl says "There was this guy at the end of my hallway playing all this loud music and shit. What the fuck? Oh — it's Duff!", he gives the biggest smile he can. Axl seems so happy to be with Duff on the stage again :thumbsup:

    According to Rock Radio, singer Axl Rose claimed the event came about by accident because he and McKagan happened to be staying at the same hotel. He told the crowd: "There was this guy at the end of my hallway playing all this loud music and shit. What the fuck? Oh — it's Duff!"

    Original GN'R guitarist Izzy Stradlin jammed with the current version of Guns N' Roses at a number of shows in 2006.

    In a 2009 interview with AskMen.com, Duff was asked what he thought of Guns N' Roses' latest album, "Chinese Democracy", which was released in November 2008 as a Best Buy exclusive, 17 years after the last all-original Guns sets, "Use Your Illusion I" and "II". "It's funny; so many people have asked me that question and I gotta figure out why people think my opinion matters," Duff replied. "I think Axl did a great job on that record and other than that, the songs and the band are a completely different thing, so for me to really comment on the band, I might as well be commenting on the new Slipnot record. It's that far removed from me. We [Guns] made our last record in '92 or '93 or something — that was 16 years ago. That was a lifetime ago for me. I was still using and stuff back then. So, that's how long ago it was for me." He then added, "It's ['Chinese Democracy'] great. There are songs on it that I like and there are songs on it that I don't like, just like any other record."

    During a 2009 interview with Billboard, Rose insisted that he will never share a stage with former GN'R guitarist Slash again. "One of the two of us will die before a reunion," Rose said. "However sad, ugly or unfortunate anyone views it, it is how it is." He also said, "I could see doing a song or so on the side with Izzy or having him out [on tour] again. I'm not so comfortable with doing anything having more than one of the alumni. Maybe something with Duff, but that's it."

    Last year McKagan told Rolling Stone magazine that he's open to the idea of working with Rose again. "I'm not going to be one of those guys who's like 'fuck that, that'll never happen.' he said. "It could very well happen. I love Axl. We've been through a lot of shit together that nobody can take that away from us."

    In addition to Rose, the current lineup of Guns N' Roses includes guitarists DJ Ashba, Ron Thal and Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman and drummer Frank Ferrer.

    "Chinese Democracy" was a commercial disappointment, selling less than one million copies in the U.S. (according to Nielsen SoundScan) despite the long wait.

    Axl said it was purely coincidental. He said something like "last night I was wondering who was making all that racket and I go down the hallway and I'm like 'oh great, it's duff'".

    Seemingly Duff just happened to be in London. It was like it was meant to be :heart:

    Yeah he said it after YCBM. I'm only paraphrasing because my mind is still reeling from what happened but he derfinitely said at the end "oh great, it's duff" but in a very kinda downtone way. Like he was disappointed to see him. Still... over interpreting here I feel otherwise I doubt he'd have let him come play.

    There wasn't any real connection moments between Axl and Duff on stage either. I was hoping for a moment where Axl would go over to Duff and like rock out with him maybe get him to sing a line or two but Duff just jammed with the band and Axl just did his thing. Still awesome none the less.

    If they would hug like Axl and Izzy few years ago, it would be...surreal :)

    But anyway, having Duff on the stage with GN'R is so fuckin' A W E S O M E rock3
