I know I've been digging deeper into his discography than I had previously.

I don't own all of his albums(sorry Izzy wink ) but he does have an underrated discog. Fans rarely talk about his stuff when discussing GNR members solo/side projects. I got this album when it came out and the title track is something I still listen to on a regular basis...

JuJu Hounds album amazing and he did release one video from it that MTV had in rotation for about a month or so...didn't catch on but at least they gave it a chance.

Holy shit...I just realized he released another video for Train Tracks. MTV buried it because I never heard about it and even being on these forums for eons it still somehow flew under my radar or if it was mentioned on the forums, I simply forgot about it. Great videos. I wish this JuJu album could've took off or became some kind of cult hit. It needed Dust N Bones type songs on it. That's what I expected when I bought it right after its release and was a bit disappointed. An instant grower though once you get over the fact it lacks a DNB or 14 Years.

Another great JuJu song....maybe he should've released a video for this...

and another...

Here's the song that some believe to be the infamous 'Down By The Ocean' that others think is still locked in Axl's Chinese vault.

This song released a couple years ago kicks ass. This would be amazing with Slash, Duff, Axl doing some backing vocals, and pick whichever drummer or keyboardist you want. 16  Anyone who thinks this guy doesn't need to be involved in modern day GNR needs to listen to this song...and keep listening to it. Then go compare it to ANY songs written/performed by  Izzy replacements.

Fortus has a lot of supporters/defenders over the years and that's fine. A question... can someone find me one of his songs and post it to compare to Baby Rann? Thanks in advance...


The first half of 117° is a direct sequence to Juju Hounds. The same band, even recorded in the same sessions. There are great songs there. The second half has Duff on bass.

Great album and one that goes unnoticed by many. I'll even put it to spin today!

Anyway, just my two cents. I do hope Izzy shows up for at least a couple of songs in Vegas and I'm most certain he didn't want to take part on this regroup not because Adler's absence but because it is a follow up to what Axl has been doing. To me Izzy is only up to rejoining full time if everything post his departure is erased and the band resumes from where he left it in 91.

No.   

First, how does one erase the past?   You can't.   

Second, Izzy has had no problem being involved with the band since 2006 on various tours.

Playing his own songs, yes. Playing new songs and full time concerts? No.

#328 Re: Guns N' Roses » Update from Izzy Stradlin » 498 weeks ago

It's nice, in theory, to WANT Adler in, but the reality is far worse.
There was a benefit a couple of nights ago and both him and Slash were scheduled to play together. Adler didn't show up.

He doesn't seem reliable and, I've made my opinion on his playing many times in the past, he's not on par with the other guys on the band neither he'd be able to play half the material (UYI and the rumoured CD tracks being rehearsed).

#329 Re: Guns N' Roses » Your Opinions on a Axl/Slash Reconciliation » 501 weeks ago

Yes, there's that... But I'm more interested in the dynamics....

There's never been such a situation where Slash is not in the spotlight on a gnr concert solo spot...

#330 Re: Guns N' Roses » Your Opinions on a Axl/Slash Reconciliation » 501 weeks ago

Will Fortus get a solo spot as he always had and will slash play rhythm for him?
That is the million dollar question!
