Has anyone here ever been to an Izzy Stradlin concert after he quit GNR?

Does Izzy tour? There's no video on youtube...

There's a selection of videos on my channel from the 1992-1993 tour:- http://www.youtube.com/user/downliner/videos

I mainly upload the rarer cuts like b-sides, unreleased tracks played live etc, all pretty crap quality I'm afraid.

gnrslashgnr has uploaded the entire Copenhagen show from the Ju Ju Tour as a youtube playlist at:- http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL895654EB1BDA03E5

Also check out that "Magic Christian Music Band" video in my uploads if you like the Ju Ju Hounds. It features 2 of the Hounds, and was the band they formed after Izzy bailed in 1993 - it only surfaced this year and it was the first time Ju Ju fans had ever heard of the band and the direction they headed musically. The writing in the video is by former Ju Ju Hounds bassist/songwriter Jimmy Ashhurst (now in Buckcherry).

Thanks! I'll check them out.

It's old though, which is ok but it seems there's no video of recent live performances.

Thanks! That brings back memories.

Izzy doing a GN'R song Goodnight Tonight.

There's actually a couple of variations of this song by The Ju Ju Hounds, though I think that's down to Izz just making up the lyrics on the spot :lol: I asked the Ju Ju Hounds producer Eddie Ashworth about a possible Ju Ju Hounds studio recording of Goodnight but didn't get the answer I wanted: "Not in studio--live, yes."

The only other time Izzy might have played a GN'R song live (as a solo act) is Paradise City in 2000. From Izzyontour.com:

Not sure if Paradise City was really played on this show but one of the fans who has been on other japanese shows said they really did [...] Izzy: "Since I left, I've never played any Guns N' Roses songs. I played in Japan one time with Duff and we tried Paradise City but we couldn't do it and keep a straight face".

Marc- do you know the story here? When was Izzys last tour...and why doesn't he really tour/play much? Also when he bailed on Guns it wasn't so much sick of touring rather sick of the monster that GnR became (bloated) and sick of the drugs/booze/drama/Axl?

Might want to re-ask this in Canter Banter. He doesn't really post outside of there much, and this is a good question.

I think i went to one of the last shows he did at wembley he came later to help out. This is what makes me think there was no real problem with axl, more the whole gnr thing.

what's sad is the waste of talent, or exposure of the talent of Slash, Izzy, Steven, Duff, I won't say Matt as the hair dazzles me.

I know it's all out there Slash has displayed his wares, Izzy has kept it on the down low.

But they coulda, shoulda, woulda been The Stones. Where's GNR's Miss You or Start Me Up?

I saw Izzy and the Ju Ju Hounds in the summer of 92. No GnR songs, no mention of GnR from Izzy. Very good show, club show in St.Louis.

Did he seem shy onstage to you?

Just seemed like a guy happy to do a show. They played the first song, the Izzy said "How ya doing tonight?.................and these are the Ju Ju Hounds." Then they played the rest of their set. Didn't say much besides telling the crowd what the name of the next song was, that kind of thing.
