Axl? Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 What is with the amount of people who credit Izzy as being the main songwriter on AFD and the reason it all sounded so good?It was WILLIAM AXL ROSE that wrote pretty much every lyric, and it was SAUL SLASH HUDSON who wrote the lead riffs and solos.Izzy no doubt did a good job on the rhythm sections that drove a lot of Slash's lead sections, but people are greatly exaggerating his overall contribution. He did not write Slash's licks for him, nor did he write most of the lyrics. He was a good contributor in the band, but nothing special.Agree/disagree?

saber_ Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Izzy was the anchor from which Axl and Slash tethered. And he was a helluva song writer. He is one of the holy trinity of the essences of GnR. Show some respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 This should be a lesson to all of you out there who want to do the same. A really imperceptible way to cover up your shit thread is to put "serious discussion" in the title.See this thread? Yep, nobody noticed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Who do you think structured the songs for Axl to sing over and Slash to riff over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The riff is just that, a riff. it's a guitar melody.Izzy wrote the foundations for the songs. The chord progressions, the groove. Without his contributions, Axl and Slash wouldn't have had anything to add to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewporTimbo Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 banBecause there is SO much to discuss... I don't agree necessarily with the conculsion, but I don't dismiss the premise. Why can't we discuss band member contributions or lack thereof? It's not like we have anything in the past 7 years new to talk about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
