pacu44 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Slash originally wanted GN'R to be an one-guitar band. He didn't want Stradlin there. We wouldnt be here today if that happened.... I will say it again... I am weary of "Slash"They would be junkies, dead or in jail if there was no Izzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Do these guys go by their stage names in real life?When Izzy or Axl or Slash is hanging out with their gf/wife/buddies - do they address each other by their real names or their rock names?Slash originally wanted GN'R to be an one-guitar band. He didn't want Stradlin there. We wouldnt be here today if that happened.... I will say it again... I am weary of "Slash"They would be junkies, dead or in jail if there was no Izzy.100% pure speculation on your part.You do remember that Izzy was a junkie and drug dealer when the band got together - right?And why are you "weary" of Slash?

Randy Jesus Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Slash originally wanted GN'R to be an one-guitar band. He didn't want Stradlin there. At that point that wouldn't fly because Axl and Izzy were the only two original GNR members and Slash was just a hired gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point that wouldn't fly because Axl and Izzy were the only two original GNR members and Slash was just a hired gun.You are rewriting history here. When Slash joined Hollywood Rose it was under the impression that he would be the sole guitarist like he had been in Tidus Sloan and Road Crew. And then, he found out Izzy was there. On the day Slash turned up, there was some argument, involving more Axl and Izzy than Izzy and Slash (about Axl going behind Izzy's back in recruiting Slash). So 'New Hollywood Rose' as they were now called was an one guitar line-up. Izzy buggered off and joined London. You have to remember that Slash had been trying to poach Axl for Road Crew, previous to joining New Hollywood Rose.I am not saying that Slash learnt to appreciate the power behind a two-guitar band, as most accommodating to his own style; their two guitars is one of the highlights of Appetite and obviously Slash has had two-guitar bands ever since. But at the time, Slash wanted to be the sole guitarist and Stradlin resented Slash's inclusion.Not sure about this 'hired guns' thing. Slash was recruited as a full time member.

This isn't Hollywood Rose. Guns N Roses, original members didn't include Slash. Edited March 21, 2015 by Randy Jesus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseIRS Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Do these guys go by their stage names in real life?When Izzy or Axl or Slash is hanging out with their gf/wife/buddies - do they address each other by their real names or their rock names?Id imagine they do. Hell, Axl even legally changed his name ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get so used to fans and general people knowing their stage name they just keep using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolielaide Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 A lot of people want a GnR reunion but I'm more interested in hearing Izzy, Duff and Slash jamming together now. It would be interesting to hear what the 3 of them would come up with today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padme Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 What is this "Slash was hired" bullshit? Slash never was under contract with Axl and Izzy. He never got a paycheck from Axl and Izzy, neither Duff and Steven for that matter.Nobody was The Boss here. In fact they almost fire Axl after he didn´t show up to open for Alice Cooper. If they wanted to fire Axl it was because they had that right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
