lol speaking of muppets izzy's hat/glasses combo kinda reminds me of Zoot the sax player from Dr Teeth's Band

in a good way
izzy's got one of those voices where he sounded like a 50 year old at 30, so yeah good on you for sounding the same when it's age appropriate haha

izzy's still one cool motherfucker
14 years, huh. this song could actually be about the making of Chinese Democracy.

we need to get word to izzy to stage a coup, oust axl and all those plastic-faced weirdos and bring back slash and duff

it is pretty funny: a song izzy wrote about 14 years of friendship when they were 28, and there were 14 years between GNR's last official release and Chinese Democracy. And the lyrics are pretty apt.

Axl-Izzy sideproject would be the best imo

yeah that's true
songwriting-wise, definitely

really? i didn't know that

I'm glad he's still on ok terms with axl - I dunno why but it gives me hope, lol
Izzy's early exit is prob why he's the only member of the classic lineup who seems to be cool w/ everyone -- he saw where things were headed and got out peacefully before it got ugly

I like how Axl's outfit *almost* makes it look like a tiny lingerie model is wearing a giant Axl Rose costume
― Οὖτις, Friday, 1 April 2016 23:23 (eight years ago) link
I don't know how Axl is going to stand it, maybe he's forgotten. The dressing room at the Troub is one of the most unpleasant places to sit for hours waiting to play and the specs of the building mean you can't just stay in your hotel/bus and come in at stage time - you can't get into the club from the front without going through the audience, and you can't get up to the dressing room from the back without crossing the stage

He should borrow Dave Grohl's throne.

I actually think "Critical Rehab" would be a great title for a G'n'R album.

Mickey Rourke should do something like The Wrestler except where he's Axl.

what are the odds that's it's a real injury? Or is this just axl being axl?

He apparently did borrow the throne. This is some grade A comedy

Pretty appealing show review:

― dow, Saturday, 9 April 2016 23:05 (eight years ago) link
One advantage of the throne is that Axl can't storm off. Those purported costume changes make me wonder, though. Last time I saw Axl's GNR, at a club, he pretty much left the stage between every song, I assumed for a hit from the O2 tank.
I wonder if playing Double Talkin' Jive is out there as Izzy bait? I know he and Axl are still on good terms, but this would feel better with him in the mix. Or basically anyone that undercuts Axl's parallel crew of session chop ringers with a good dose of sloppy personality.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 9 April 2016 23:10 (eight years ago) link
If Izzy is on good terms with A, and assuming he gets along with Saul, maybe he is just ashamed of his own appearance?
― calstars, Sunday, 10 April 2016 00:52 (eight years ago) link
Compared to Axel's appearance?
― dow, Sunday, 10 April 2016 01:14 (eight years ago) link
Izzy played with Axl's GnR off-and-on between 2006 and whenever, but only when he felt like it. Most likely his reasons for not doing this tour are that he hates touring.
― glandular lansbury (sic), Sunday, 10 April 2016 01:17 (eight years ago) link
Remarkably, Izzy has released 11 solo albums, plus a live album.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 10 April 2016 12:54 (eight years ago) link
It's fairly obvious that Izzy is a guy who does pretty much exactly what he wants, and only exactly when he wants to.
Cue thread for people who have figured out how to live.

I'd go to a JuJu Hounds reunion.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 10 April 2016 18:59 (eight years ago) link
I wish Izzy had joined the G N' R reunion - maybe then folks would finally admit the Ju Ju Hounds album is no better than any random Ron Wood solo disc.
― the top man in the language department (誤訳侮辱), Sunday, 10 April 2016 19:25 (eight years ago) link
Ju Ju Hounds album has at least two really excellent tracks and a handful of pretty good ones. If I could count on that from a Ron Wood solo disc I'd be delighted.
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Monday, 11 April 2016 07:13 (eight years ago) link
Izzy's 117 Degrees, which was his last album on Geffen, is even better than the JuJu Hounds record. There was a time (GN'R pun intented) you could find it for a dollar at any FYE in America.
― DavidLeeRoth, Monday, 11 April 2016 11:56 (eight years ago) link
Not many people bought Izzy's albums, but everyone who did formed a band that sounded a little like the Faces.
