I will not believe it is Izzy until he gives serious proof of being the real Izzy. Not only the verified account will prove him real. Del James account is not verified either but he doesn't act like a fake guy and he's acknowledged by the rest of the Guns N' Roses members, social media accounts, etc. This Izzy guy is not following anyone in GN'R and no one in GN'R follows him back or is happy to promote his account or welcome him on Twitter. Not even Duff who is the coolest member in the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, their verification doesn't mean anything... And btw, it seems you can't ASK them to verify your account. You just wait untill they have a mind to do it... I'm fully aware of that, more so than you. I already addressed this issue several pages back. I was asking that dude a question since Twitter verification is the deal breaker for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KinseyHolley Posted February 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2016 I don't blame the guy for deleting all of his tweets except the one about his non-involvement. He tried social media for the first time and everybody freaked the fuck out. @killuridols is right - Izzy had never really met the Internet before and he met it via Twitter, the most intensely, instantly social of all social media platforms. "Social" is not a word anyone's ever used to describe Izzy. Twitter is hard for introverts, esp. when thousands of people start shouting and demanding blood samples and proof of life videos (ok, at the very beginning I joked (on Twitter) that I'd need a proof of life photo, but that was before Will said it was definitely him. I lurked on Chopaway back in the dark ages - Will is solid. The end.) Plus mocking him for daring to make jokes - so they were kinda dad jokes. He's a dad. So's Duff, so's Slash. These aren't the lean and hungry degenerates who made AFD before many of y'all were born. These are middle aged men, professionals of decades' standing. The guy was just dipping his toe in the water, and he got it bitten/sucked off (not sure where I'm going with that metaphor.) I'm still worried about all the Tumblr girls flocking to him on Twitter. Sorry to go all house mom on you. I'm sure the most frenzied of the people on Twitter going ur a fake!!!!111!!!omg are not from this forum. Maybe it's because my kid's dragging me to AC/DC tonight. They're all old enough to be my dad, and she's all excited about Rock n Roll, Man. Can't decide if it's funny or depressing. Next time she begs to go see Black Veil Brides I'm gonna let her. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that qualifies him as a celebrity, outside of this forum. So I don't see him getting a "verified" account. I met him in Vegas in 2012. VERY nice and respectful. He even told me if I wait around a little longer, Axl would be out and he waited until Axl came out and helped organize picture taking. I think Izzy would get verified if it's him because he's a famous, respected musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't lives in the Dark Ages, he has been emailing people from a long time. He releases his music through the internet. He sure does knows how to use a computer and how to go on a internet, he own an iphone also. He was not on twitter before cause he would have his reasons, he is not a small kid that he would be somehow affected by us and thats why he deleted all the tweets. He knows what the fans talk about it, when that fake interview was released, how did he come to know? obviously through the internet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 "Verified" on Twitter means shit. I remember there was an Izzy Stradlin 'verified' account that turned out to be fake. Not the one that worthless human being WFA created, another one. Some of you should remember that. That said, I believe whatever @downliner says. So, it's definitely Izzy. Too bad he's not involved. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Izzy would get verified if it's him because he's a famous, respected musician. Maybe I didn't word out that very well but I didn't mean to compare Izzy and Del in artistic terms or even in celebrity status. I know Izzy is bigger than Del but Izzy is not bigger than Axl and Slash if you ask in the entertainment world, most people and I'm talking masses here, only know Axl and Slash as Guns N' Roses members. And none of that means anything in terms of their talent, importance to the band, etc. Its just called 'popularity'. So that point made, what I was trying to say is that Del James it is a person within the Guns N' Roses circle that when he joined Twitter didn't have these problems. He had even @ Slash (when the reunion news was still a rumor) and never had a problem showing his identity in any way. He shared pictures, replied to mentions and followed GN'R members, without any trouble. And Del James is not a kid, he's probably same age then the rest of the original gunners, jsut in case someone mentions age as an obstacle to be well-versed on social media. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to tell Del's account is real because he actually interacts with the GNR guys. Which Spanish Izzy does not do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killuridols Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Just because Twitter made one or two mistakes verifying accounts it doesn't mean most of the verified accounts are fake or wrongly verified. Most celebrities with a bit of popularity have their verified accounts and post on them, if not themselves, they have a social media team managing the accounts.

Don't think so, social networks sucks and Izzy never was a public guy anyway, he's famous for being recluse. My guess is that he wanted to tell us that he's not part of the reunion and in the meantime was testing twitter and that's about it. I don't buy all those conspiracy theories about Izzy saying one thing but doing another in April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archtop Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) If this does turn out to be fake Izzy, he needs his own hashtag. I have always thought its great Charlie Watts is #charliestocoolfortwitter. If I'm honest, even though i'm entertaining the idea Izzy is on twitter, I think I have greater respect if he stays away. #izzysdoingdonutsinthesand #izzysadvacadopicking #izzysondowntheroad Edited February 26, 2016 by Archtop Sp fat fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dig that deep in to their personal lifes nor I know that much about it, well maybe expect for Axl cause most of the songs are related to it, so it was interesting reading about it.
