I can see why some might have issues with it, I like that post you quoted from gtrunk. Anyone who likes to call out some bullshitters gets props from me.

Wasn't really doing it to call anyone out, was just using it as an example since someone sent gtrunks comment my way the other day. Just shows how forum rumours can quickly spread and fans take it as fact smile

People keep throwing the money thing around, but Izzy was the guy who asked his accountant how much money was in the bank and then quit when he found out he had $20-25m (equal to $40m in today's dollars). I think he would do a reunion, but not for the money.

If Izzy was in it for the money he never would have bailed in the opening phase of that massive cash cow UYI tour.  Would have raked in millions of extra cash but instead decides to release a solo album that flew under the radar and only sold a handful of copies.

Ever since the beginning fans for many reasons bitch about Axl, Slash, Duff,etc. IMO Izzy is pretty much untouchable when it comes to fan complaints. He does have the rep for not finishing tours though. Only legitimate gripe is how he walked away too early from GNR. That certainly altered the course of the UYI era legacy. He had his reasons though and they are valid.

Wasn't one of the reasons that Izzy bowed out of Velvet Revolver because he didn't want to do a full tour - just clubs and bars type stuff?

Yeh there was a story somewhere about how Izzy had suggested that he and Duff share the vocals and they just hire a tour bus and start playing. I think in Slash's book (or maybe Duffs) it's claimed that Izzy only bailed when VH1 showed up to film the process of finding a singer. Not read either in a while to be honest smile

I don't remember in which book it was either, but that story's certainly true. Izzy just doesn't want the drama. A whole world tour with Axl/Slash has its conflicts and drama scheduled. I'm sure he would be up for a few apperances though.
