Title: Izzy reunion dates question Post by: Dan B. on July 07, 2004, 12:21:56 PM Does anyone have the dates of when Izzy played a few concerts with GNR in 1992 and 1993?

Title: Re:Izzy reunion dates question Post by: Dizzy on July 07, 2004, 10:28:25 PM Why did Izzy come back? Gilby Clarke broke his forearm and could not play, so rather than cancelling the shows, Axl called Izzy and asked him to stand in for those shows. Izzy and I grew up together, and that means we're kind of like a family, even if we don't agree on everything. --Axl, 1993 However, more bad blood broke between the guys upon Izzy's return. Apparently, Izzy demanded about two million dollars for the few shows he performed. Evidently, the reason was that Izzy was pissed because of all the curfew violation fees that came out of his paycheck when Axl was the one showing up late. But that didn't sit too well with Axl, and along with Gilby's revelations (quoted below), Axl started blasting Izzy on stage every night after he left the tour. I was talking to Izzy on one line, and he asked me 'when are you coming back?' Then Slash rings me on the other line, and says 'dude, when are you coming back?' (laughs) Izzy didn't want to be back in the band any more than the other guys wanted him back. --Gilby Clarke, 1993 I have a bootleg for the May 30, 1993 show which features Izzy. :) Title: Re:Izzy reunion dates question Post by: Dan B. on July 08, 2004, 10:22:06 AM Didn't he come back for a short time in 1992 as well, or was it just 1993?

He played on the first leg of the tour from May to August in 1991. /jarmo Title: Re:Izzy reunion dates question Post by: Dan B. on July 08, 2004, 10:34:55 AM Thanks for the info.
Title: Re:Izzy reunion dates question Post by: Slashly on July 09, 2004, 05:27:17 PM Izzy came back on 1993, because Gilby had broken his wrist in a motorcycle accident.Correct me if I?m worng but I think these are the dates in wich Izzy played:
05.22.93 - Hayarkon Park, Tel Aviv, Israel 05.24.93 - Olympic Stadium, Athens, Greece 05.26.93 - Inonu Stadium, Istanbul, Turkey 05.29.93 - National Bowl, Milton Keynes, England 05.30.93 - National Bowl, Milton Keynes, England Quote Axl started blasting Izzy on stage every night after he left the tour. That?s true, every night since Izzy left, Axl would go off on Izzy before they played Double Talking Jive. Baby Slash// Title: Re:Izzy reunion dates question Post by: ClintroN on July 24, 2004, 02:00:56 AM how was Izzy's performance when he rejoined, was he into it or just standing and doing his job???
Title: Re: Izzy reunion dates question Post by: Wheres Izzy on August 16, 2004, 07:29:34 PM Did they play 14 years or dust and bones for the shows Izzy was back? I doubt they would change the set lsit for him but they had a pretty loose idea of what it was anyway from what I always heard. Also who sang double talkin jive on the verses? Izzy or Axl?
Title: Re: Izzy reunion dates question Post by: Jizzo on August 16, 2004, 10:14:06 PM I didn't realize Axl blasted him because they didnt like each other, i thought it was because Axl really wanted him back. Maybe i'm wrong

They didn't play those songs. It was always Axl who sang DTJ live.

Maybe i'm wrong I think thats the reason to - Axl must have felt betrayed and i think that's what motivated his 'rants' |
