Aeonian Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 I bought Izzy's first solo album back in the day, and know he has a few more. Would someone recommend his best solo album. I thought the 1st one was pretty decent. How does it compare to his other stuff? Is Gilby's any good? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redapple Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Izzy have released 5 albumsJu Ju Hounds117 DegreesRide OnRiverOn Down The Road (released only in Japan yet)I prefer 117 Degrees. But River is also very good and Ride on is "nice". I don't like very much Ju Ju Hounds but it contains couple good songs. I haven't heard ODTR album and I haven't heard Gilby's music at all.But if you like soft rock and Izzy's Ju Ju Hounds I recommend you to buy one of his albums.red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlossacanell Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 yes, he is really talented and his solo albums are ok ... i prefer the first one with the ju ju band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 As for Gilby, I've only got Pawnshop guitars. Good album simply because of the guest appearances. The entire Guns crew is on it, plus numerous other guests. Don't have any of his other albums though. Izzy is great. Ju Ju is a great album and I really enjoy 117 degrees as well. Don't have anything else yet. I can't get it here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlossacanell Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 make an effort and get the rest you don´t have ... it´s worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt.limrick Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 I've got the first four Izzy albums, and all of them have got some really strong songs on them. Personally, I prefer 117 degrees. I haven't got his latest because I refuse to pay 50 quid to import it from Japan.I've got the first Gilby album and heard the others. Stick with the first one, the rest are very weak and I personally wouldn't waste my money on them. The first Gilby album may actually be the strongest first album by a former member of GN'R. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeonian Posted December 30, 2002 Author Share Posted December 30, 2002 It sounds like I should get either Gilby's first (Pawnshop Guitars?) or 117 degrees. The one I had was the Ju Ju Hounds album, and I thought it was pretty decent, but not great. How does 117 Degrees compare. JU Ju hounds sort of reminded me of the 1st Wallflowers album (self titled).

Aeonian Posted December 30, 2002 Author Share Posted December 30, 2002 what is the difference/differences in their styles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Because of the guest stars and influences, Gilby's album has a few harder numbers. It's more of a hard rock album with a few softer tunes thrown in.Izzy's album, though featuring Duff on bass, is more like the Rolling Stones. Izzy has more stay power though. I listen to it far more than Gilby's effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redapple Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Yes Izzy's albums (especially 117) is great rock with great lyrics and soft feeling on the music. It's not hard rock at all... It's kind of music that gives you peace of mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eschman Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Izzy's stuff is great. You know, if Duff weren't singing on Believe in Me, it would be a good album too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
