Question If Ron leaves would you want Izzy to re-join GNR?

[wasted]

could that work?

With say Fortus and Dj on leads and Izzy on rthymn?

Then the next GNR album could have some Izzy Stradlin songs?

What do you think?

[DieselDaisy]

I think Izzy is too good for that band.

[liers]

I think the band is too good for Izzy.

[Estranged Coma]

Would be the greatest thing to happen to this band in along time

Axl seems to like his Indiana homies a lot? (izzy DJ Tobias )

There are very few Gn'R fans (other than those hoping for party passes )who wouldn't want Slash or Izzy back. Izzy wouldn't add much to ticket sales but it'd be cool as fuck for him to come back.

I dunno. Can he really cut it in a live setting? It's pretty obvious that that's all that really matters now, and tbh, he didn't sound very good when he guested in 2010.

[Tyler Drama]

Next album?

[tentonneskeleton]

I'd be down to see how he'd do back with the band. It would be different than when he guested with them cos they'd have done more preparations and rehearsals beforehand.

I'd also love to hear the kind of material they'd write with Izzy's influence.

[bran]

he would be a perfect fit for the current image and direction of the band.

You won't need a rhythm guitarist, you'll need a lead guitarist. In a live setting, Izzy is the least important key -- unless you want to consider the nostalgia of having him on stage with Axl. I mean, that's great for a few shows but at the same time, it's unimportant.

I will always prefer "That new guitarist killed that solo! Really awesome!" instead of "Axl was in good mood and joking a lot, it must be the presence of Izzy in the band!". I don't know.

Do they really need another lead guitarist? I think giving Fortus more lead would be awesome..

Is there anyone out there that would realistically join the band, who is gona be better then fortus?

[Rovim]

could that work?

With say Fortus and Dj on leads and Izzy on rthymn?

Then the next GNR album could have some Izzy Stradlin songs?

What do you think?

I'm thinking... Down By The Ocean, CD lll, 2024.

He'd definitely change the vibe more than anything, I agree. But then again, another lead guitarist might give Richard less solos, which I'm not sure I'm down for

Exactly! Having a solid rhythm guitarist would be pretty sick.

[wasted]

I've always dreamed of an Axl n Izzy band, it would like the latter day Stones touring band. Izzy would have his Keef spot in the show where he'd play Think About You, Patience and 14 Years or Pressure Drop.

They could do album an like Some Girls, Black and Blue and Undercover-in-1.

I get this feeling.

Personally I find it incredibly hard to have any enthusiasm for this band with Ashba in the lineup...Duff and Izzy could both rejoin fulltime but you'd still have the unsightly blemish on the face of GNR that is DJ Ashba.

[Teroz]

Yes. But then also Disc Jockey should be canned and replaced by Bucket or Slash, others will not do.

[Johnny Drama]

Unless he's bringing Slash, Duff and Steven and Axl cans everyone else, I have no interest in Izzy coming back to get buried in the mix and have to play second fiddle to a twonk like Ashba.

I just think a few Izzy songs wouldn't go a miss and Izzy probably would work better with Fortus than Slash. Izzy N Fortus could be the new Keef n Ronnie.

Dj will probably work great on Axl's songs. He has a gothic horror sensibility. His solos seem perfect for Axl's piano ballads.

That's what I meant, but you said it way better

Drop DJ out, then Izzy can handle the rhythm and Fortus the leads.

If DJ was really necessary, then make him just another rhythm player

I don't think any band should depend upon Izzy as a touring musician. That being said, I think if would be great if he would help Axl write songs for GN'R. He could be a writer and studio musician. But touring musician, nah, I don't think that would work, unfortunately.

And I want him back in the band in a writing capacity regardless of whether Bumblefoot leaves or not.

[ChineseDemocracy2004]

Tbh, he didn't sound very good when he guested in 2010.

Didn't Izzy appear for the first time since 2006 during one of the London shows in 2012?

If BBF does leave I would like Axl to disband the current line up, thank them for their services with an almighty severance package, release an album of outtakes and then plan for a reunion theatre run.

That would be much better without DJ.

Also, no. I want Izzy in the real Guns n' Roses. Not in this unproductive mess.

And yes, I consider him instrumental in the classic GnR songwriting process. But I don't see that working with all the overproduced stuff GnR is doing now. There's no need for people like Pitman on an Izzy song. Their power is in their simplicity, and you don't need an 8-man band for that.

No. He doesn't care enough and probably wouldn't want to be in it even if all the originals were there.
