Oxford Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 They’re all probably in sporadic contact with Izzy still. Steven not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t contact him at all, it’s sad as he’s still not over the GnR days and of they contact him sporadically, it makes me feel like it creates false hope for an original lineup reunion.

lost un the jungle Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I think it is time for Izzy. We all know there is no new record in the pipeline, maybe a couple songs, but the new surprise can be Izzy, and let the fans happy. Don't know if Izzy is reliable enough for touring during several dates, but this can be a refreshment for the band. I understand that there will be no more attendance than now, and business wise is worse, but taking Izzy back maybe means another 10 years of future to the band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitchisback Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Izzy and Steven both left the band over 30 years ago at this point. I'm sure they make minor contact here and there, a happy birthday text or things of that nature. But it's been a long time, everyone has families now and extensive commitments. So I don't they are talking on the regular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing we got publically regarding Izzy and GnR was a very sour. 7 years in and not one appearance? That makes it pretty clear to me that things are still not okay between them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in contact with Steven, but after what happened in South America he pretty much told them to shove it. I don't think either of them wants to be in contact with GNR anymore.

I’m pretty sure Steven stopped caring about GnR as soon as his newest singer (the guy from Argentina) joined his band back in late 2018/ early 2019. That guy does Axl better than Axl these days.

Karice Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Hmm. What if Steven and Izzy DO decide to come back to Guns N'Roses and the "Newer ," Guns N'Roses Members, Melissa, Richard, Dizzy, and Frank aren't comfortable having them back. Or worse, Axl automatically kicks out Frank,, Dizzy , Melissa, and Richard for Steven and Izzy? All of the "Newer," Guns N'Roses Members have been there for YEARS and would be beyond resentful if Axl suddenly kicks them all to the curb just because Steven and Izzy are back. 💡 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say he “stopped caring” about GNR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of that is going to happen. Axl won't allow it. Axl is loyal to his people. 6 hours ago, rocknroll41 said: I’m pretty sure Steven stopped caring about GnR as soon as his newest singer (the guy from Argentina) joined his band back in late 2018/ early 2019.

Original Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Izzy must be fully retired these days. Guessing he’s long out of picture. Steven still rocking but his old pals don’t trust him. I’m not sure a full AFD reunion tour would even move the needle anymore for anyone other than us diehards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all I don't buy for a second that Steven is over being in GNR. And secondly how were they disrespectful to him? Obviously I'm open to changing my mind, but I will point out that I don't think that the red carpet should've been rolled out for him. He's been a junkie for over 30 years (around 25 when the reunion first happened) and sad to say, I'm not sure you could find many junkies you'd be able to trust to play a prominent role in a huge rock n' roll tour with millions on the line. It just isn't feasible. If for instance Steven were THE drummer (instead of Frank) I have to wonder if the tour would even be able to be insured.
