Fucks sake. It's Izzy fuckin Stralin you're talking about here. You don't talk that way about Keef or George Harrison do you?!

He isn't Keith Richards or George Harrison.

He quit the band years ago and has never done a successful tour since then.

Why the fuck would you pay him a shit ton of money to maybe show up?

And no one is kissing Richard Fortus' ass. The fact is Fortus, is reliable. He gets the job fucking done. Light years ahead guitar wise too. Maybe not songwriting.

Izzy is a flaky. Great songwriter. But, fucking flaky.

So let's lay off the Richard Fortus attacks.

Dude is also stand up, too.

#222 Re: Guns N' Roses » Izzy tweet about Axl and Duff interview » 496 weeks ago

Again love Izzy and I've defended him previously

But, dude is wrong here.

Like some of you said his bargaining power is diminishing.

I don't think airing your dirty laundry does you any favours as well with Axl, Duff, and Slash.

What would have happened if Izzy came back, is the 3 ADS would have to keep Richard on in case Izzy proves to be unreliable.

He should have taken what was offered regardless if it was seen as a slap in the face. Prove that he is worth the equal amount, by finishing the tour and what not.

But, by staying at home and complaining that you didn't get your fair share is such bullshit. Slash, Duff, and Axl do not look bad at all here.

Slash, Duff and Axl all have proven touring experience. Izzy doesn't. That is a fact. They've kept the brand name alive for the last twenty years.

Izzy is kind of being the Don Felder in this situation. Overestimating his value and wanting more money.

What has he done? Solo albums ok. But, no touring. No big name recognition. Slash & Duff have done Velvet Revolver, solo shit, and Axl rebuilt a band and well yeah it disintegrated. But all three have been around on the scene. The same again, can't be said about  Iz.

By shitting on Axl, Slash, and Duff he doesn't do himself any favours. Unless this is a ruse. And he is going to show up.

#223 Re: Guns N' Roses » Izzy tweet about Axl and Duff interview » 496 weeks ago

Look axl and duff were very respectful to Izzy.

More so Axl as it is kind of more of his place as band leader and childhood friend of Izzy.

I love Izzy. I think he is the best. He beats to his own drum.

But, like if you don't show up and have a track record of being reliable and able to finish a tour. You don't get paid. You can't just have your AWOL night and expect the band to be fine without a rhythm guitarist. Also, they wouldn't pay him their share if they had Izzy around and had Richard as an insurance policy. Therefore, carrying 3 guitarists.

I don't think Slash, Duff or Axl, look bad here.

I didn't know where to put this.

Don't Cry gets performed on this tour.

Has Axl ever dedicated it to Shannon Hoon? I assume his Lafayette pal meant a lot to him and you'd think maybe he thinks of him during the song when it is performed live.

So yeah, I guess I just think it would be cool if Shannon got it dedicated to him.

Don't know if he has yet though.

That's all.

#225 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses tour to continue through 2017(and beyond) » 502 weeks ago

I think we will get new songs at least next year if not this year.

This tour is good.

It being extended is good.

Downtime in late August and September for Slash and Duff to do some whizzle wazzle wah wah on some tracks and be like here you are Axl. I know you're with the AC/DC but yeah man.

#226 Re: Guns N' Roses » Civil War » 502 weeks ago

Look mates, I have been loving this tour.

I didn't fully appreciate Coma until I heard it today while at work.

Man is that song so good. Glad I got that experience in Detroit.

Only thing I want is the fucking shirts made by American Apparel, like come on. Bruce does it. Show some American pride mother fuckers ha. (I'm a Canuck here btw).

They need to release a new album 8 songs or just an EP fuck this Greatest Hits bullshit.

#228 Re: Guns N' Roses » 16/7/16 ROGERS CENTRE, TORONTO, ON CANADA » 503 weeks ago

Well I am sure the show will be awesome.

I was going to go by myself, as I went to the opening night with my gf who subsequently broke up with me when we got back to her place.

But I am trying to win her back.

So I'll save my money even though, I would love to pay the $250 for a ticket.

Fuck man.

#229 Re: Guns N' Roses » 16/7/16 ROGERS CENTRE, TORONTO, ON CANADA » 503 weeks ago

Whoa this board has a fantasy football league? If so send me the link, big player here.

This show should be good Red.

I am in the Hamilton area, so it is in my neck of the woods. But, I already saw the band opening night in Detroit.

Anyhow, have fun.

I highly doubt that Izzy sign was ripped at Axl's request.

There ain't any bad blood there.

I am just going by what I see and really don't have anything to back it up.

But, to me Izzy is like a brother to Axl. From the same small Indiana town. Known each other since they were kids. Those bonds don't just go to shit land.

I love the Iz. The songwriting is paramount. He gives you that and the writing credits. Now touring? That's a big question mark. As the dude is uber cool and just does what he wants.

No harm in having him tour with the current line up as Axl had three guitarists before.

Anyhow, very cool if he was backstage. My pal told me the fact about Slash before not taking a picture with him, which kind of gave me a bad vibe about him, I'm over that now though.
