"Izzy Stradlin - Like A Dog" Petition

[nyd]

http://www.petitiononline.com/likeadog/petition.html

There is a petition calling all Izzy Stradlin fans. If you would like Izzy to release Like A Dog, and would consider buying it then take a second to sign it.

Assume the album would be released at normal retail price of any new cd.

If you would like Izzy to release Like A Dog ...

I'm probably the least knowledgeable GNR fan.?I don't know what this "Like A Dog" thing is all about.? ? Could you please give me the background on it?? Is it something new he's working on or something old that he's never released?

But whatever it is, if he doesn't want to release it than that's certainly his prerogative.? And I don't think petitions work when you're dealing with someone from Indiana.?

[*Izzy*]

Like A Dog was suppossed to be released in 2003 but it wasn't?

? And I don't think petitions work when you're dealing with someone from Indiana.?

That's sounds abit racist?

  Izzy?

[IzzyDutch]

He had a 1000 copies pressed of Like A Dog and was trying to get a deal but that probably didn't work out, so he probably moved on. But the copies are probably on his shelve somewhere and ready to be released... maybe this will stimulate something and he'll try to ge it out there. The author of www.izzy.34sp.com has offered to distribute it on his site.

[usurper]

I signed. Happy?

[Hammy]

I signed, there's 81 now...and they need 1000 wonder which all come quicker the 1000 signatures or Chinese Democracy

[makane]

Please use real names when signing so it might even have an impact.

Izzys old bassist Jimmy Ashhurst has now signed the petition   

The petition only started 2 days ago and already has 120 signatures  Please post the link on other forums if you think they would be interested. Like izzydutch said, if we get the 1000 signatures I am going to pass it along to Izzy. If he still isnt interested then I am going to see if he will let me buy all 1000 copies of him so that I can distribute them through my site (at normal price of a cd instead of the ridiculous prices people had to pay for 'On Down The Road' and 'Ride On'.)

[Hammy]

Izzys old bassist Jimmy Ashhurst has now signed the petition? ?

How do you know it's really him? I mean i could of (but i did n't) signed the thing 'Axl Rose' but would you really have believed he'd signed it?

[IzzyDutch]

Cause Jimmy also posts on the Izzy board beenafix and has e-mail contact with nyd.

Also he's recently done in an interview for the Izzy fans that you can see on the Izzy site. Same with Rick Richards who plays lead and slide guitar on all of Izzy's albums.

Everybody is in contact with nyd except for Izzy himself Altough he did have contact with nyd in 2003.

Don't underestimate the power of Izzy fans

[nyd]

Everyone wants to talk to us except Mr Stradlin himself... I think we scared him away  lol

[nyd]

Many thanks to JArmo for giving us a mention in his news  Thanks bro!

Were already half way there with over 500 signatures. Please spread the news of this petition with other forums/boards if you get a chance and hopefully we will see the album soon!

[nyd]

We already have 600 signatures now! Only 400 more to go so please keep telling people to sign the petition if they like Izzy and wanna hear Like A Dog.

This is what we know about Like A Dog so far (officially from Izzy himself):

"...I've currently got 1000 copies pressed that I'll cut loose when I get a deal for Japan/Europe".

Tracks (click to download 30 second sample):

2. Bomb
3. Hammerhead

Produced By: Izzy Stradlin
Recorded At: Dallas, Texas (April/May 2003)
Mastered: Friday 2nd May 2003

It is a ten-track album featuring the usual lineup of Izzy, Rick and Taz. Izzy Stradlin will be handling bass on the album, aswell as vocals/guitars, whilst Richards fills lead guitar and Taz takes drums.

The 30 second samples were sent directly from Izzy.

If you enjoyed the samples please sign. Thanks

Japan/Europe?? WTF?

[nyd]

Remember that is what he told me in 2003. He cant find distribution in the USA because it normally means having to tour and do interviews which is something Izzy is reluctant to do. He got lucky with 'River' because SFV Records didnt care if he toured or did interviews, they just put the album out with minimal press and Izzy seemed fine with that 

If he does let me buy all 1000 copies off him I will ship them basically anywhere. Definately throughout Europe and USA though because that is a big fanbase  So sign the petition! 

[slash4ever]

wow, when i signed it there was like 30 signatures- now there's like 1000!!!

[nyd]

Well we only have 650 sigs so far but yeh were getting there... Izzy fans dont waste time 

[jameslofton29]

I tried signing the petition, but it said the site was too busy. I'll try again later.

[badapple81]

Those samples are awesome. I havent heard much Izzy solo stuff but I'll be sure to check more out. The riffs sounded awesome.

[MoonMax]

Does anyone owns it? How it's like? Is it like RIVER or more like both Ju Ju's albums(that's all I've got)

Izzy's friend, J.T. (who played on Do You Love Me) did play bass there... but not on Bomb & hammerhead I think but on the rest of the songs...

[IzzyDutch]

This is what he replied to me on a e-mail at the end of April this year:

hi edwin,

i did play bass on "do you love me" with izzy and stevie. i also played bass on "like a dog". i haven't heard from izzy in over a month, tho. i'm not sure what's going on with the record. i'm hoping as much as you are that it's released soon:-) i'll let you know as soon as i know something.

1066 Signatures and still no Chinese Democracy   

[RichardNixon]

What's the status with "Like a Dog?" If Warrant and Slaughter can release albums via indie labels, why not Izzy?

[IzzyDutch]

Nobody knows.. we don't know if the petition is passed on to Izzy and if it is passed on if he cares about it, we don't know shit

I think if Izzy will release a new album in the future it won't be LAD but the most recent one, he just finished a new solo album this year and I think that ones more likely to be released then LAD.

If there's any news at all it will appear on www.izzy.34sp.com

I haven't always been impressed with all of his material, I like some stuff, but the clips from this new album sound great.

[purplehaze1988]

[Izzy]
