That's how I remembered it too

Duff said that too, Izzy's idea was to share vocals with Duff. But Slash and Matt wanted a lead singer.

That's your opinion.... Not a big Matt fan but would take him any day over Frank.. Fortus may be a technically better guitarist than Gilby but Gilby's style and stage presence fit Gn'R.

Of course is my opinion. I may think the same about Sorum, but definitely not about Gilby, to me he never had what it takes to be part of GNR.

Anybody who says that Axl and Slash are all that matter is not a true fan. The band going downhill after the departures of Steven and Izzy is all the proof you need. GN'R = Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, Steven. No more, no less

 

It's a UYI reunion with better musicians (I'm talking about Gilby & Sorum).

I love the Stones. I don't think this is gonna be the same thing. Making it closer to the Stones, if THEY were playing an arena, I don't think you'd find a ticket for that price. The show is gonna be pricey no matter how many ways you slice it. There MIGHT be a drop in prices day of, maybe day before. But you've gotta be in the area, have a flight, have a hotel, and have a lot of luck that thats gonna happen. I'm sure it will, although not to a major degree, and its a hell of a lot of stress right up to the band getting on stage.

I know, I'm just saying that usually on vivid seats the price of the tickets drop the same day of the show. I tried the same last week with the ACDC show at the American Airlines and the cheapest ticket was $168. The difference between arena and stadium is always important.

I bought my tickets on Stubhub. Try vivid seats, I bought there my tickets for the Rolling Stones show last summer at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas for $25. I bought'em the same day of the concert after a massive price drop. Not sure if its going to happen again, but usually the same day of the show the prices drop a lil' bit.

Totally agree. I'm curious about a lot of things to do with Fortus because of his skill level. Take KOHD for example; that's pretty much been the "Fotus Showcase" since 2010 or so. What's gonna happen with that tune? Assuming they revert to a UYI style version, Fortus stands to play G, C, D for roughly 10-15 minutes while Slash plays the leads like the old days.

I love so much more the current KOHD cover than the one they use to do back at 90's. Fortus intro is perfect.

In my opinion Fortus is a fuckin' animal. In fact, he's too good to do Izzy's parts, couldn't think in a better guitar player. I'm curious to see how that works.

About Ferrer, I don't have an opinion, I'm not the biggest fan of Sorum's sound, so without Steven I just don't care the drummer.

Where did he confirm that indirectly?

"I know there's a lot of questions regarding my Twitter account," he said in a voicemail to Rolling Stone. "But it's me. I opened the Twitter account. There was just so much speculation going on regarding my involvement and studio recording. There’s so much misinformation, so I wanted to clarify that I'm not in the studio recording with any of the Guns N' Roses guys. At this point in time, I'm not involved in the actual shows ... A lot of stuff [fans] are reading isn't true."

Probably is just me being naive...

He also says "At this point in time...". Looks like an open door to me.

There's one thing that Izzy has confirmed indirectly, the other guys in GNR are recording which is always good!

I woke up this morning and I watched Izzy's video posted on twitter. Since Izzy's topic is now closed I just wanna say kudos to @downliner, much respect!

And about Izzy, HE IS THE COOLEST MUSICIAN ON EARTH!

I know this is a lil' bit off topic, but again, the other one is closed, sory!

Whoever said that blood sample thing, it was a sarcastic comment towards the people who don't believe its Izzy and I took it in a funny manner. Izzy is not your or my relative that we are fighting to inherit his properties or something.

Im sure you are a big Izzy fan and Im also a big Izzy fan, for me he has always been the coolest member.

But some people over here are taking it as a personal thing, the things which you mentioned, not everyone knows about them outside these forums, there are fans outside these forums too.

So if you believe, I totally respect that. 

If that is the real Izzy, then well good for him, but some of us are just waiting till something more comes out, when it will come out, none of us know, so its better not to argue. Let people believe what they want. 

Yeah man, this looks like a civil war.

Some of us don't believe he is Izzy, others do. That's fine. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong. We all respect Izzy and want to see him in Vegas with duff and slash, if he is not there it would be a bummer, but nothing more.

I never liked Sorum. Perfect drummer for any rock band but GNR.

I'm not a nightrain member, that's why I'm asking here.

If you're not a Nightrain member then you can't participate. I tweeted you the contest.

Sorry if someone already talked about this but I haven't seen it at previous pages.
Anyone know how the nightrain contest works?

Go to the forum and find the post. All you have to do is click on some link. I believe there's another option in your account, if your are a nightrain member. I also think there's a link in the GNR twitter.

Izzy used to live in Spain but that was in the late 90s or early 2000s. I remember reading an interview he gave at the time. In the interview he said he had no t.v., no phone, nothing. I don't know for how long he was into that kind of life style.

Izzy lived in Spain? You know the name of the city?

The Izzy topic is being interesting while we wait for Eddie Money and more news.

Just now, Slash787 said:

Yeah well next he should tweet "YO SOY NO IZZY STRADLIN" 

LOL!

Wouldn't be funny Izzy posting a video on that twitter account saying "YO SOY IZZY STRADLIN"?

Just for the record, "Yo soy Axl Rose" is not a cover band. Is a south american tv show (don't remember the country) called "YO SOY..." where someone impersonates a famous singer.

I know you were dying for this information XD

Here's the round up, which I know won't be proof enough for some....

I emailed Izzy my doubts after someone here suggested he'd been hacked. He replied saying "you slept in a park after a GNR gig" - it was a tube station I slept in, but close enough. I thought he was real again, then after reading the forums and seeing the RS thing doubt crept in again.... He replied "i got you guys a hotel room", which is also true (and was very sweet of him to do I'll add).

I still wasn't certain as I would have emailed Izzy thanking him for the room, even though that email would have been 10 years ago.

So he called, and I felt like a total idiot for dicking him around all day trying to prove he was Izzy As soon as he said "Hey" I knew it was him, you could just tell instantly.

The only problem now is that Izzy might take ages to provide real proof publicly that he is behind the account and I'll look like a moron. Pure speculation but I think the RS tweets may have been pulled intentionally if Andy has been able to verify also.

 

"Izzy might take ages to provide real proof publicly that he is behind the account", sorry dude, He can take his phone and shoot a video saying all that stuff he supposedly wrote.

It is not that complicated.

Hopefully Izzy sends absolute proof to the guy at Rolling Stone, like a mugshot with todays newspaper

Yeah! With the headline "Izzy Stradlin is writing again" XD

The account has 7 tweets... "Rick,Its Izzy . I bought a computer and opened a twitter account ! I`ve given up avocado farming and am writing again" So, Izzy in 2016 buys a computer and decides to create a twitter account to tell everybody he is not involved... Sorry, I just don't believe it.

Ey come on guys... It is a fake account.

But the picture is really cool!
