OMG, Spidey, thanks for this gem. The crowd are singing “there’s only one Izzy Stradlin” to him He has the coolest stage presence and I love how inclusive he is of the other band members, like how he treats Richard. You can see why people say he is a band leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Axl announces Izzy, someone is heard yelling in Greek something that translates into "Fuck yeah, Izzy!"! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) I guess most of you haven't been following the CD leaks saga that has been almost all over D&N in the last two months, so maybe you haven't heard about the Izzy related stuff. According to what has been known about the source of these leaks, the storage locker, which belonged to Tom Zutaut, didn't contain only the CD era demos, but also demos of the second "lost" Ju Ju Hounds album (as well as some AFD and UYI demo tapes). The Ju Ju Hounds demos were bought along the rest of the content of the storage locker, then the tape was sold on discogs. So it's in someone's hands but hasn't leaked yet. I wonder if Izzy knows about this. Edited October 6, 2019 by Blackstar typos 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of them are on later Izzy solo albums (I guess Izzy re-recorded them) and one is maybe "Goodnight Tonight" that was played at early GnR shows. https://www.discogs.com/Izzy-Stradlin-And-The-Ju-Ju-Hounds-November-1993-DAT-Bill-Price-Rough-Mixes/release/13850373 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does he have to do with Izzy and Ju Ju Hounds? If Izzy knows it would have been extra fun for him to have been in the Louder Than Life Festival too - seeing as Tom was there I saw in the show thread Axl had the backstage area cleared when he arrived haha!! 49 minutes ago, Blackstar said: I was at the 2006 show in Greece, too - and in the 1993 one Was Izzy at both?

What does he have to do with Izzy and Ju Ju Hounds? It's been said that the person who originally bought the CD demos bought the Izzy tape as well. The AFD and UYI tapes have been bought by other people. I don't know how much truth there is in all this. Probably the Izzy tape is being traded among hoarders. I'm not sure about the AFD stuff, but the UYI tapes seem to be almost the same as the final mixes that ended up on the albums, so the value lies mainly in the physical copies (for people who collect this stuff) and not the content. Izzy recorded the first Ju Ju Hounds album at Geffen. I guess the second one was going to be released by Geffen too, and that's why Zutaut had it. 8 minutes ago, MillionsOfSpiders said: If Izzy knows it would have been extra fun for him to have been in the Louder Than Life Festival too - seeing as Tom was there I saw in the show thread Axl had the backstage area cleared when he arrived haha!! 8 minutes ago, MillionsOfSpiders said: Was Izzy at both?

Amaya Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I bet you wherever in the world Izzy is, he has no regrets about not taking the pittance pay and being any part of The Big3 reunion. Not a single regret. Not a single second thought. And not missing the pittance pay . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
