Wacky World of The Ominous Ninja Izzy Stradlin and NO! Gang

[BorderlineCrazy]

Thanks for the upload @Kris_1989, hope we won't get you in trouble again. Also thanks to @Tori72 for sharing that old GNR interview.

Love Izzy's funny comments and his voice, he always sound so chill. I think my favorite will always be "I had a bus, they had a plane and I beat them to the gig"

I know it's completely irrelevant but I can't get over how cool it is that this video is called Izzy Stradlin interview!

He totally owned it with just one word. 

Morning, gang! 

How I miss the Ju Ju's. I love Rick's guitar playing, he's a master of slide guitar.  I wish Izzy released all that HQ footage from the Ju Ju's tour that supposedly exists.

Me too. Maybe it got lost over the years? Or is just too much of a pain to throw together?

i`m thinking of releasing entire catalog of solo materials,1993-2006,plus out takes and some bonus material.looking for a cool label to make this happen.labels can contact us at same email.thanks,izzy

^That's from the 2006 Q&A with Downliner so he was at least considering releasing everything at one point.

Off topic but I figured these links belong in this thread for the newer Izzy fans. First one is Downliner's old site, Chopaway. He's got a bunch of exclusive content over there (Izzy's artwork, Q&A's with Izzy, JT, Taz, Rick, Jimmy, etc...) Second one is the izzyontour site that I was looking for a few days ago. It has details on pretty much every show Izzy did solo, photos and a bunch of other interesting stuff.

That's pure gold! Thanks, Kris, never saw, never even knew of those sites. 

And why oh why is it so difficult to release some footage material. Man. Same with GnR and their UYI footage. There are millions of people who'd volonteer to help out.

Yeah, but who knows if it's more complicated to release than we know. He was still signed to a record label for some of that stuff so maybe they would give him some grief over it? Or maybe the footage needs to be remastered. That alone can be expensive and a pain in the ass. Or maybe it's just footage he doesn't want to release. lol I'm sure he's got a good reason. Whatever it is.

You're way to bloody nice and understanding. That's what you are. I wanna stomp my feet and have the footage sooner than later!!!  

But of course you're right.

Izzy needs to tweet again. The rabid dog seems to need another shot.

The main section. I'm not sure he knows how to leave that section yet or I'm sure he'd be in here too.

Ok, I'll go and have a look at him. I'll scare him away stomping my feet.

Then I went on saying that I never liked Guns & Roses so much I preferred just plain and simple rock n roll like the Stones etc and that I really digged the JuJu Hounds. 

He said "you got to tell Izzy that when he shows up". Much to my surprise a half our later Izzy and the rest of the band shows up in the bar downstairs so I tell him that I like the JuJu Hounds a lot and that I much prefer them over G&R eventhought it might not be politically correct and commercially not as fantastic to play the stuff the JuJu Hounds plays. He said "you really mean that?" and I said I sure do and he looked real pleased. 

Awww!

[Darkenchantress]

Where's that quote from? 

Thanks for the links Kris! I'll check them as soon as I have the time!

[SerenityScorp]

I'm pretty sure He was worried if People didnt like His solo project or cannot surprass GN'R

Thank you so much for posting this, I'll love you forever! I thought there's no way to see what was on that famous chopaway site anymore. I knew it contained some precocious content, and here it is! No sleep for me tonight, I guess.

Are you guys bootlegs fans? Cause I was wandering around the old forums, and people used to post links to download bootlegs from Izzy's gigs, by now all of them are dead. But I was on mission to find them again and surprisingly I managed to do it (found them on some russian site at the end of the Internet ). I can't wait till I listen to them.

Sigh, struggles of being new fan - links are dead, sites don't work anymore...

When Adler got on the phone with Rolling Stone a few weeks later, he was less willing to share anything about Guns N' Roses. "I had the best experience last year playing with them last year," he says. "I wish Izzy [Stradlin] was there, but it was so great since I finally got to have some closure. It was wonderful. I don't have nothing else to say about it. I'm really sorry. That's all I can tell you. There's nothing to say. I literally, literally honest to god literally, I can't even tell you why I can't tell you any more. Literally, okay? I really can't. I just can't."

^{- stolen from the main section -}

So does this mean the gag order is back in place?

Thanks for copying this here. I don't know what to think of it. Good new / bad news? We'll know in a couple of weeks or never. Somehow I'm tired of this Steven-drama.

I'm just tired of the GNR drama altogether.

Yeah, I know, I've spent quite a bit of time watching them  I guess I'm on my way to become die-hard fan (nah, impossible), so the next step for me is to complete my own, small, mp3 bootleg collection.

BTW, thank you for chopaway.com, it's beyond interesting!

I think the band got wind of Stevens verbal diarrhea during this promotional tour for his mothers book and reminded him he signed a contract to not speak about anything regarding the reunion or tour.
