Frankfurt93 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Got it the day it was released. Loved it, Belive in me, 10 years..., it was also the second GNR solo album after Gilby's Pawn shop. Art work is good.not sure what I would think today, probably liked Snakpit's better, ...in all honesty, all albums should available in some quantity, it is a piece of heritage. Such a shame ppl can't buy Snakepit, Neurotic outsiders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Izzy's album came out first, at 92, and Gilby's at 94 - so yeah, it's the second GN'R solo, and Gilby's the third :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such an amazing and underrated album. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you’ve heard any other Duff solo album, they don’t compare. Believe in Me is miles ahead better than his other albums Have you heard "ain't life grand"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually LOVE that album and I would say that on a given day I could prefer that one. Rod Jackson was an amazing singer. So yes, have heard it, probably 100 times lol. Great album, I still love Duff’s first album. most consistent of solo albums would be Izzy. Not a bad one in the bunch. There are a few Duff and Slash albums I’m not a huge fan of. But like all things gnr related, even the not so good is still pretty good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that much money for either the vinyl or shipping, it better come with a Duff branded toy truck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad that it wasn't succesful enough for them to continue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was okay with 5’ o’clock but everything with Myles just seems basic 101 rock music to me without a lot of soul. Rod Jackson doesn’t have much music outside his one with Slash, but there are a couple of albums, singles on iTunes that are worth checking out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Love Rod Jackson. Cool voice, cool lyrics, great melodies. I hate Eric Dover and that obnoxious screaming he calls singing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Boy Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Hadn't listened to this for a while so I gave it another go.. The first song is ok for a couple of verses, but quickly loses momentum Next songs are lyrically average, basically variations on "I saw you walkin baby" and "now I'm a mayyyyn" choruses shouted repeatedly Then there's one with a garbled rant through a megaphone or something, about communism and "the taxman comin" (millionaire rock stars moaning about the taxman, hmm) Punk rock song is instrumentally ok but still a lost opportunity really, as is most of the album Wish I could give a better review, as I really like Duff and his contributions to GnR are massive, his bass playing and writing actually underestimated imo. Even the bassline on SCOM, I mean everyone talks about the Slash riff but it's the bassline that actually drives that song and is hummed along to.

He made great small contributions that massively helped make songs great, but writing whole songs he loses that greatness, I can't get into his stuff. Tenderness was so bad to me, I only liked 1 song from it. How To Be A Man with Izzy, that's a great song though (but again, help from GNR members).

Izzy released JuJu as soon as he was out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
