Whatever really. Just do something that puts him back in peoples living rooms. We love celebrities because we feel we know them. That's why those who know how to play the game can get so much good will.

System has been rigged for years. Preloaded voting machines, double voting, fake votes, voters stricken off lists etc.

Remember a story about a candidate in California. Was leading huge, they called it. Then when the rest of the votes got counted the other guy had like 90% of them, doing a huge jump. Now that's mathematically impossible, and the theory is the early votes were rigged (electronic) and when the real physical votes got counted you saw how people had really voted.

I always liked how the band turned into this:

The early Kantner sound is completely gone, but Grace Slick can still carry it.

I like Don't Damn Me better than almost all their hits. I'm also a huge sucker for Pretty Tied Up. Doesn't change the fact that most of the songs that made GN'R popular was written by Axl and Slash, along with Izzy on a decent chunk of them. But even on the songs he wrote there is often a massive Slash contribution to make the songs what they are. Solo in Patience, riffs and solo in YCBM, solo on Don't Cry. Together Axl and Slash wrote GN'Rs biggest hit in November Rain. The only GN'R song I still hear regularly on the radio. Those type of songs are what gave the added dimension that made them comparable to Led Zeppelin instead of AC/DC.

The songs Izzy wrote alone are great in their own right, yet for the most part reduced to cult classics enjoyed by certain segments of the fan base. PTU doesn't make the top 5 unless the person is a Izzy fanatic. Nor should it, because they have that many better songs that are deserving. 

In an equation of Axl, Slash and Izzy, who can you remove and still have a GN'R song? That's why he's overrated. Doesn't matter if he owns Ryan Adams. That's another type of music. One part of GN'Rs influences, but not defining of their sound, or necessarily feel.

I actually care for Axl's influences the least. Not that they are bad, but Slash, Izzy and Duff have better ones. What I prefer about him is the talent. He can deliver a complete song. One that works both as a huge hit and as a deep cut. To me the other 4 haven't delivered a single song in their entire solo careers that is worthy of GN'R. Axl at least has a few.

The mega hits is what separates them from the pack. Often Izzy was a part of that, other times he was not. That's not lessening his contribution. He was a central part of the band and contributed a string of great songs. But calling him the heart and soul of GN'R is overrating him. Saying they can't write great songs without him is overrating him. He is not the brain of GN'R. He is like you say, a New York Doll. Low key. Brings good songs to the table and a groove, but he's not indispensable like the guitar of Slash and the voice of Axl Rose.

Izzy's role has been overrated. He's one of the central song writers, not the central song writer. Most of GN'Rs big guns were either written without him or in a supportive role. Jungle, RQ, NR, Civil War, Coma and Estranged are all without Izzy. SCOM is mainly Slash and Axl. PC is Duff, Slash and Axl.

Patience, YCBM and Don't Cry are Izzy's main contributions to the discography. Songs like Dust N Bones, Pretty Tied Up and Double Talking Jive are the songs with Izzy all over them, and while great they aren't the songs that defined the band.

Axl's vocals and arrangements and Slash' guitar are the foundation. The common thread in all their greatest hits. Even those written by Izzy.
