Title: The influence and talent of Izzy Stradlin Post by: Carlos Gunner on November 30, 2022, 06:53:42 PM Hi:
It is almost tragic, for his fans, to accept Izzy Stradlin is not part of the GN'R 2016 reunion, his influence on the band's compositions is undeniable being the second most important composer of the band, his talent will be missed in a new GN'R album, considering he remains absent. I've been listening to Izzy's music, and I like it, I wish we could listen to what some of those songs had become with the participation of the rest of the band, I like to think the chemistry was still around.

GNR were a great band with great musicians not only original line up. We all know a little bit about Izzy - he likes to stand in 2nd row more. Joining GNR now for all these stadiums shows and long tour... it was not for him I guess. If you don't have what you like, you like what you have :) Title: Re: The influence and talent of Izzy Stradlin Post by: Carlos Gunner on December 22, 2022, 01:45:09 PM Izzy was guitar player of GNR for 6 years, while he left the band 31 years ago. Still his contributions and participation in the band is invaluable, until today, GNR plays pretty much the same set list as 31 years ago.GNR were a great band with great musicians not only original line up.

his role, in the songwriting department, and in the cohesion of the band at the time, is undeniable. that said : how are the things today? to me not giving him big money to rejoin the band was a mistake, based on the general public opinion. he deserved it, even if he left and jeopardise the future of the band, he made good money with his tunes for the other guys too. he deserved it as an original full member who can still play & tour (when he wants to :hihi:) he's still friend with the guys, or in contact. so except that goddamn dollars nothing was really hard to deal with him to have an almost full reunion, and that's sad, considering the amount of dollars the three others are making. don't want to diminish their roles, but Izzy is probably a better songwriter and a bigger contributor in terms of songs than Duff or Slash.

I am happy for him and eager to listen to new Izzy s music. Just usually frustrated he is not composing with GNR. |
