Boogs Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, cindy1985 said: they didn't block it yet?? You know sometimes I think it was that fake Instagram account that turned Izzy off of social media. I mean, when you think about how readily he used to engage with @downliner for the Chopaway site back in the 1990s, writing notes to his “fan club”, saying things like “this is for the fans” - once upon a time he showed that he understood what it was like to be a fan. All this newfangled social media, where every little mistake is something that tens of thousands of people can see in a moment (he has something like 36k followers on Twitter?) and then some people would make fun of for eternity, he would feel like there’s nowhere to hide. I can just imagine. At least he doesn’t need to do LinkedIn - geez, you can’t even sniff on there without everyone knowing. *Edit: Izzy has 37.1k followers on Twitter, and the fake Izzy Insta account has 42.5k followers, so you can see why he’s livid!!

What Insta account are you talking about? @Tori72 and @annabanana, there’s a fake account on Instagram using the handle @IzzyStradlin999 that has 42.5k followers, that Izzy was trying very hard to shut down for ages - but it’s still going. I was suggesting to check there for past tweet screengrabs because they posted quite a few of Izzy’s deleted tweets. Although I just looked, and their last post was the Chuck Berry retweet on 20 Mar. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we know about that account and the Wacky Thread also tried collectively to report it to Instagram to get it shut down because Izzy was obviously pissed. Instagram didn't react to that.

And I just realised that the fake Insta account has 5.4k more followers than the real Izzy Stradlin Twitter account! That’s the kind of thing that could really make Izzy angry. [insert gif from BBC video of Izzy looking like he’s angry and arguing with the cameraperson when in fact he’s saying “that’s the best show we ever did”] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ι don't know but i believe that his silence generally maybe connected with lifetime tour(?)i'm waiting to end lifetime tour just to see what will happen later... Also i believe that in comparison with instagram or facebook, twitter has the fewer followers that's why he choose to make an account there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know how you feel but running more than one Izzy thread has proved difficult in the past, could it be done in here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you dare to leave us again!! It's not my fault. The stupid forum keeps blocking me. A bunch of people have posted about it in the "ask staff anything section" but they haven't done anything about it yet. --- I'm down for the lyrics to be posted in here. I think it would revive the thread a bit. And I'm pretty sure Izzy's just a troll with his twitter account. He's always had a sense of humor and I can picture him digging up weird stuff to post just to get a laugh. Or maybe he really is crying into his avocado juice while listening to 'Love Hurts' surrounded by NITL tour programs. I dunno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to go back to the Instagram/Twitter thing for a moment - if I remember correctly from reading this thread, Steven Adler took over a fan’s Instagram account, didn’t he? Considering how many people follow “fake Izzy”, I’m thinking now that Real Izzy taking over the Fake Izzy account on Instagram might be a more strategic move than shutting it down completely, even if it might be impossible to do so without Fake Izzy’s cooperation. But it would be a shame for him to lose that ready-waiting audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
