@PishyPishy maybe when you're so relevant and it goes away you would want to bring it back? Weird.

@Tori72Tori72 I don't understand

I remember he claimed he could've earned so much from royalties because it was named after him. He does have a history of overvaluing himself 

So true @Pishy!

Please correct me if I'm wrong but didn't duff claim that the beer in the Simpson's was named after him and the creators of the Simpson's said its not true? Am I remembering it right? 

But why do that when there's no need to do so, the tour is successful, they made tons of money and are popular again. Why do that to your friend who you claimed has always been there for you? 

I guess it depends on the lifestyle you lead, that was just my first thought. Coz the show wasn't even that good and the other cast weren't gnr caliber. He kinda threw his wife under the bus when talking about it later on.

There really was no need to diminish izzy. The reunion was already selling that time so it wasn't necessary 

It really was embarrassing when I saw it around 2009 or 2010 I felt so embarrassed for him that's why I thought he was broke coz I can't think of any explanation then I read that he has a successful investment company I figured they are just thirsty and wanted to stay relevant. Then he bashed the show and said he did it for his wife, not buying it but when I read that I already stopped believing what he was selling. 

I agree it's weird like their behavior and posts seem so contrived. Even the anniversary or birthday post he did of his wife, why tha pic? Ugh or maybe it's just me.

It's normal to change your beliefs.and opinions over years but everything in his interviews he said before have been contradicted by his actions now. Everything. To do a complete 180 on everything is a bit hmmm. So either he was bullshitting before or he is now. Especially the izzy part it was just a year before that he was singing izzy praises then a year after he's pretty much saying that izzy is non essential how can it change so fast, so what it is.

That's the show @PishyPishy it's really embarrassing especially for someone from gnr to be a part of. And his wife hangs out with reality stars that's why I won't be susurprised if they'll have another one.

I agree with @kkferro72kkferro72 among the afd 5 duff for me is the least important atleast Adler has his swing. It would be the same attendance now wether duff is there or not. He just got lucky coz he's still part of the partnership and he probably knows that, that's why he's overselling himself 

I think the issue with duff and college is he made it seem that he went in everyday and physically took the classes (I have no issues with online classes I probably would take this route if available in my country during the time I was in college) , he made it sound like he has constant interactions with professors and students. I actually thought his wealth management company is super successful since everyone keeps on pointing to it as a reason why duff doesn't need the monemoney and this is not a cash grab tour. 

I kinda felt a bit eww with duff because of his reality show to be honest, when I saw it on tv my first thought was this guy must be broke. Then when it failed he goes and say he only did it for his wife, really now? But him and his family is just too much on social media. It's like they are angling for another reality show. And the daughter having a cardboard cut out of axl in her room? Its like asking to be talked about.

But his behavior towards izzy really surprised me. Especially after that Jericho interview totally different from what he was saying just a year or so before.

I heard the interview on the Jericho guy's podcast. It was a typical Duff. He said great things about Izzy but he also made it clear that he didn't wanna talk about him. He is with GnR now and Duff is on Axl's paycheck. He Duff always used to praise Izzy for everything but now that he's back in GnR he rather leaves the Izzy topic untouched or praise everyone. Truth is, those riffs Izzy came up with inspired everybody and they all made great songs out if those riffs and unpolished songs. Somehow after Izzy left that never happend again. Nuff said if you ask me.

 

That's why I kinda want them to make an album now just to see how it goes, if they can make something close to what they we're able to put out with before when izzy was there which I honestly think they won't be able to, we all know what individually the 3 of them can come up with and none is close to good much less great. And if it's nowhere close to the afd, lies and illusions then everyone will know and truly see the importance and contributions of izzy. 

Hope he'll be doing this every month

What speculations?? I am confused can you clarify it for me?  I haven’t been on for a while so maybe something was said in older thread..

 

I think she meant speculations on why that particular song was chosen

On the song lyrics meaning page I read, the song is about wanting to have sex with someone but in the end the writer is still deciding if it is a good idea. The last part is also from a chuck berry song

One place to start would be that hateful Instagram account

What instagram account?

I love Love Hurts (the original) maybe he picked it (because it's a Nazareth song) for Axl  

I remember reading that axl liked that song. So the tour is almost over and izzy still not over it

Exactly my thoughts! What is he doing with his time? Digging up videos with roughly estimated 13 view so far.. He should be reading here 

13 views? How the hell did he find it? Maybe searching YouTube is the new racing haha

Sigh so since we have no new Izzy music, I just went and bought “Love Hurts” on itunes. 

Boogs you're so sweet just about to look up the lyrics

It was me who suggested that and I actually started collecting information to open one. But I got sick and then college work got in the way. But I still have the info I collected and I'm planning on making one soon, problem is idk how many people would join...  

Promise will join whenever you're ready hope all is well with you now

I thought the last tweet would make the regular people come out again, but no still the same thing, same arguments.

Hi!! I'm drunk and back again. I was really surprised when I could remember my password so I figured I should post. I've been starting uni and casually dying. I'm probably gonna regret this in the morning. Okay, so I should actually start a topic right now. Hm. ... So awhile back there was a thread about izzy's songs?!? Ranking or sth?!? Did i miss the ending or did it just die out and if it did, we should resurrect it

Whiskey is never a good idea even if you think it is

It just stopped, there was also a talk of making a thread about song meanings not sure what happened to it

Not hugely tbh. The Izzy Stradlin fans group is a bit busier, a few interesting pics etc. Just like here, we’re all a-waiting with mouths wide open for any morsels of information to drop from Mr Izzy. 

Ok thanks will do check it out

I am indeed  

See you over there?

Will check it out, anything interesting going on there?

Hi @BoogsBoogs are you a member of the FB private groups on your link?

They do have exactly the same body type though. It’s exactly as Izzy would look like if he was a little chubby. 

I think Izzy is in perfect shape, i wonder if he’s trying to stay skinny or if it’s just happening to him. Because his body posture (from various fotos, not just this one) doesn’t look like someone who’s doing extreme running or other sports. He just looks skinny, and healthy. And sexy 

 

edit: and I must add he’s got the coolest and prettiest shoes on!  Still a great sense of style.

Probably by choice coz he runs (he said in an interview), does yoga (duff said in an interview), is a vegetarian (don't remember where I read that) and is a health nut (Rick Richards said). Or could be natural coz he has always been skinny 

When people are asked about izzy it's always nice,humble, great guy. You guys read any negative comments about him?

Does that mean he paid for his own when he joined them in 06? If the band did they would know when he'll be there right?
