If you compare D n' B to Izzy's solo material, I would have thought that Izzy was the main writer in that one (it's a great job from everyone). I've always considered it to be an "Izzy song".

AXL_N_DIZZY Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 "14 Years" for me. A little more in your face from the "get go" IMHO while "DnB" is a slower build. Just something about my girlfriend's girlfriends telling her that I'm to blame that's always hit home I guess. Both very enjoyable tracks though that I fear the typical casual probably overlooks or tosses into the "non-hit" UYI-filler category (which itself is grossly overstated IMHO).

Trin9498 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Two classics.....but I'd lean to 14 Years. 15 years again I would have said DNB. 14 years aged better though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Like a Suicide Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 It's hard, because they are both excellent songs and generally skip back and forth on my list. Right now, i enjoy 14 Years more. That piano is tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew07 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 14 years would win, but dust n bones is still a stellar song... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Dust N' Bones is dark, dirty, and bluesy - one of my favorite Guns songs of all. 14 Years is excellent too, but I give the edge to Dust N' Bones. I love the guitar work throughout, we get to hear Slash sing, and to me the solo stands out among many of Slash's solos for it's use of the whammy bar for short dives and vibrato. Izzy voices captures the vibe perfectly and I love the lyrics. Guns N' Roses perfection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe it was mostly written by Izzy, we can't know, but because his vocal part is the loudest in the mix doesn't make him the main songwriter. Duff sings throughout most of the song the same part as Izzy but he's not as loud in the mix and he's also been performing it with his Loaded band, so maybe they co-wrote the lyrics and have a more or less equal part in the song? Who knows. I guess my point was that this isn't really only an ''Izzy tune'' as some people here suggest. Edited May 3, 2017 by EvanG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Equal in quality, but Dust N' Bones for me. Brutally close though. Izzy is freakishly talented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I think the others were just pulling songwriting contributions out of their arse to deny Izzy his royalties. Dust N' Bones is one hundred percent Izzy. 14 Years is Izzy and Axl. A similar thing happened with Perfect Crime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
