Dust N' Bones: The Untold Story of Izzy Stradlin

[GNR_Green]

I remember ages ago that Izzy's biography (maybe auto, can't remember what I read) was due to come out next year.  Does anyone know if/when?  I expect it would make great reading.

The press release from Black Market Publishing says "Set to be released in the spring of 2004".

Hi, this is my first post.  I've been reading these boards for about a year now and I remeber talk of an Izzy Stradlin' biography to be released in 2004.  I was just wondering if anyone else remebers this or has any new updates.

Black Market Publishing has formally announced plans for the first ever biography of legendary Guns N Roses rhythm guitar player and lead songwriter Izzy Stradlin! "Dust N' Bones: The Untold Story of Izzy Stradlin", set to be released in the spring of 2004, this biography promises to deliver for fans the full story on one of hard rock's most intriguing and elusive icons, chronicling Izzy's rise with hard rock's most notorious frontman W. Axl Rose from Lafayette, Indiana to the streets of Hollywood in the early 1980s, where the two rose through the Sunset Strip underground via Hollywood Rose toward stardom in what would become the biggest rock band in the world at its peak, Guns N Roses. As Axl Rose's companion and principle songwriting partner for the better half of 2 decades, Izzy Stradlin carved out his niche as one of the most respected rhythm guitar players in hard rock history, writing many of Guns N Roses most famous anthems along the way, becoming a multi-millionaire in the process, and then, disappearing at the peak of Guns N Roses popularity.

Featuring exlusive interviews with many current and former GnR insiders, as well as members of Izzy's solo band, the Ju Ju Hounds, and other relevant sources, Black Market Publishing hopes to offer fans the most revealing portrait ever on one of hard rock's coolest rebels!

Black Market Publishing has secured an interview with Juju Hounds co-founder and bassist Jimmy Ashurst, who co-wrote the hit 'Shuffle It All' with Izzy Stradlin, and recorded and toured as a member of the JuJu Hounds between 1991 and 1995.

That should be intresting - i will make sure to grab hold of a copy

[erose]

very interesting!

[Fretzo]

It's actually not an autobiography. It's a biography, written by someone other than Izzy himself.
I started a thread about the release date of this biography a few weeks back.  There are only a few weeks of spring 2004 left so hopefully it will be published soon, although we're GNR fans so we're already over-prepared for a delayed release date.

[Slashly]

I?ll get a copy as soon as it comes out

[kockstar99]

[Pandora]

I got a reply from them :

"It is [still set for release].  Fall of 2004, we have just started principle interviewing, the book will press in September.  I will email you an update when we are taking pre-orders.  Thanks, Jake "
