It's ridiculous imo.

They can't write a GN'R song without him. They were all important pieces to the puzzle.

This.

And in your opinion to suggest he should be dead like Cobain is the way to Deal with it?

Kudos for you, sir!

Izzy benefits greatly from the sort of eulogising and myth making normally reserved for dead artists. I think it's a result of the fact that he's so low-key, he might as well be with Cobain.

Really?

I guess it also shouldn't be underplayed that without Izzy, Axl and Slash could not merge their styles.

Izzy was the bonding agent. He was the cool factor between two unstable, explosive albeit phenomenal elements.

Izzy was what kept Axl real. Izzy was what provided Slash with a solid foundation to lay great riffage on.

Don't forget that once Izzy was out of the picture, Axl and Slash could not find a way to work together creatively and Axl kept going back to Iz for songs. Later on, Slash and Duff also, for VR.

Even they recognize Izzy's abilities but part of the fan base thinks it's just Axl and Slash.

Edit:
To me it's all part of the magic. Izzy has the ability to come up with great melodies and song structures, a canvas for lack of better word.
Axl comes with lyrics and further melodies that take it to the next level.
Slash comes with riffs that envelope it as Guns N Roses.

To me it's pretty clear when I listen to the solo albums. Izzys have great songs that always miss that fire. Slashs miss great vocal melodies and great song writing. Chinese Democracy lacks the riffs from Slash that is so characteristic of GNR , although the Izzy factor is not that much missed because the style is much more closer to Axls materials in UYI.

Was thinking that perhaps the band could play a VR song without Axl.

As it has been the case with Bumble playing Glad to be Here, Tommy playing Motivation and so on.

Perhaps Duff on Vocals?

Scott Weiland if remembered, will get it once, at the very first concert, with Knockin on Heaven's Door.

1. Will we ever hear about Axl & Slash's very first face to face?

Are we sure that they have? I mean, for all we know it could all have been made through lawyers and internet so far.

2. Will both men ever explain publically how the axe was buried?

I don't think all the issues have been buried and I think both parties expect them to be buried over time.

Intercourse wrote:

3. How have Duff & Slash managed dealing with Axl's team including Beta and others who have been less than honorable towards the old guys?

Business as usual. They didn't like to deal with Axl's assistant(s) while on tour on UYI as well.

Intercourse wrote:

4. If the money is so good and the excitement levels so high, why wouldn't Izzy jump straight in for the start and then bail if its not to his liking - not the other way 'round?

Why did he quit on the UYI tour when the money was so good and the excitement level was even higher? Because he didn't have to put up with the shit.

Intercourse wrote:

5. Why would Duff & Slash agree to play anything from CD? Does that mean Axl will sing Fall to Pieces and Slither in return?

I don't think Slash or Duff would even consider suggesting ANY VR song for the reunion.

#348 Re: Guns N' Roses » Vegas Shows Roll Call » 503 weeks ago

I'll arrive in Vegas on Thursday, at 4pm. Will leave to Detroit on Monday. Besides the concert the only thing set in stone, pun intended, is the Grand Canyon visit. Besides that, let's meet!!

#349 Re: Guns N' Roses » Vegas Shows Roll Call » 503 weeks ago

Thanks to Smoking Guns (thanks bro!) I'll be attending Friday's concert! First time in 23 years that axl & 21 share a stage together (if they don't mess with us on a secret gig somewhere now that it is sold out). I am making travel plans as we speak! Very difficult to work as it is! roll

I intend to spend the weekend on Vegas, so I'm available and really wanting to meet you guys up!

Thanks for telling me. Been some glitches here the past few months and apparently this is another one.

Anyone else having this problem?
