Show me the quote where Slash says I re-recorded Izzy's parts. Also, if true, why would he? Maybe ego? Maybe he wanted all the glory? Fuck that...Izzy's parts are what make AFD awesome. He wasn't Slash's ape. He did his own thing. Gilby sucked and so did the Shit Incident because Gilby re-did Izzy's parts. Gilby played what Slash wanted him to. Yep, Gilby and the poodle Sorum enjoyed the paycheck and said "Yes . Sir." Which, in turn, made Axl not want to record with him or them. They were monkeys' just like the majority of guys in new guns you criticize. Izzy's songs on the Illusions are fuckin awesome and I wish we heard more of his guitar. The main reason I don't enjoy Slash's post Gnr work is that it is all Slash. He doesn't have anybody being the ying to his yang. For the most part it is just straight hairy knuckle riff rock. He certainly has his moments of subtlety but for the most part it is just Slash and a bunch of classic rock regurgitated riffs with horrific lyrics and vocals.
and ps, I know, Axl hasn't done anything either. We got it. This is more Izzy/Slash now.
and pss, I'll take Izzy's first Ju Ju Hounds record over all of Slash's post Gnr work. Shuffle It All Bitches!
He may have had to record them again because he was never there to fix his fuck ups. Izzy didnt play on Civil War either.
I remember that interview, too, where Slash said he had to play Izzy's parts, cause the guy was away from the recording sessions. They used Izzy's old demo recordings in other cases. It was before the Internet age, so it's not easy to find that old articles.
BTW most people don't realize that Izzy bailed BEFORE the UYIs came out. He just made it officially later. The writing/creating partnership of GN'R as the five (four) of them was done after Lies. UYI is more of a collection of solo albums.

I agree about Slash. He needs to just say what he did, or what things he did. I can guess, I have my theories, but I have no idea what exactly he's done. ... Showing up at his house and offering to squash the feud and have a relationship again, then denying it and filing another lawsuit... That's what I gather.
You're wrong. Slash didn't file another lawsuit after the visit. In fact, he DROPPED the one was going on at the time.

Oh snap. Guns N' Roses "Management" is going to flip and attempt to get Axl one ASAP.
No, I think they'd choose the RRHOF route. Axl will suggest that it's too corporate and will mention 3 people who don't have a star there and will add that Slash only wrote a couple of key riffs and Tracii Guns was there before him. Then a crazy rambling about stars, the universe, a Street of Dreams quote and a PS with a Game of Thrones mention.

Slash to receive Hollywood Walk of Fame star
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18396495
Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash is to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next month.
The musician, who is the first member of the rock band to receive the pavement plaque, will be honoured at a ceremony in front of the Hard Rock Cafe on Hollywood Boulevard on 10 July.
He will be saluted by movie mogul Robert Evans and actor Charlie Sheen.
Organisers praised Slash, who grew up in Stoke-on-Trent, as "one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time".
"We are proud to place his name among the stars on our fabled Hollywood Walk of Fame," Ana Martinez, producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies, said.
The guitarist will also be performing an acoustic show and Q&A at the Hard Rock Cafe after the ceremony.
Slash was the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses from 1985 - 1996, leaving after a feud with lead singer Axl Rose, who is the only original member remaining with the band.
He has since performed and recorded with side group Slash's Snakepit and supergroup Velvet Revolver.
The musician has also recorded solo material, with his second album, Apocalyptic Love, released last month.

Yeah, still hoping Slash delves even deeper into some UYI stuff, or even Snakepit 1 & 2!
I don't see to much chance for more UYI tunes, maybe KOHD can pop up, but the album's signature Slash songs are either Axl's piano driven ballads, or Locomotive and Coma-type tunes, which aren't for these straight ahead rock shows Slash's been doing lately, or very hard to play live. Maybe Bad Apples will be heard.
BTW I'm all for more Snakepit I and Shine, Srial Killer and ALG from Snakepit II!

I LOVE Bad Rain. Maybe I'm alone with this here. 
#618 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash kinda playing Anastasia... back in 1992? » 752 weeks ago
Nice find metallex! 
However I think that he played some early version (not even a version, but a short theme of) Obsession and Obsession Confession, two songs he released in the mid 90s (one is an instrumental, the other has Marta Sanchez singin'). I think that these Obsessions evolved into something very different, the magnificent Anastacia in 2012. Even the first notes are the same.
Different version, with Marta Sanchez

Finally got my Classic Rock edition... then realized that I need to buy a new RCA cabel.
Back from the store, I've listened it through for the first time. I will make a detailed post after 3 listens (in a few days), but I think it's a strong album with some great tracks and some fillers, too. Not AFD (but even AFD wasn't AFD for me for the first few listens), but sounds very good.

Great posts, guys. You know and understand music.
I've just heard the song for the first time. Mindblowing. The best rock song I've heard in years.
