Well, it seems Izzy is in a somewhat talkative mood. Now that people know it's really him, maybe they'll pay more attention. He's been reaching out to various websites, magazines, etc. Maybe he'll spill all the dirt. We've seen Izzy put Axl on full blast before, so if he feels the need to do that again he just may do it. He may not want to burn that bridge, and if that's the case, then maybe this is his attempt at getting the wheels rolling.
he's clearly desperate at the minute if he's taken to twitter to contact them. he's be shut out. he can burn however many bridges he likes, he has nothing to bargain with. only bad vibes. which isn't cool & poor showing on his part. even if he feels he's been wronged, even if he's genuinely been wronged, he's going about it in the wrong way if this is his game. disappointed in him a little tbh.. "waah waah waaaah.. axl won't return my calls.. better set up a twitter account & bitch about him online." yea??? hope i'm well wrong obviously & that izzy's still cool.. but it doesn't seem like it atm..

No Izzy...no reunion.....just another lineup...just a more profitable one!
nail on the head mate.
Yeah i know...tickets have sold out. Those same tickets can get thrown on stub hub in three shakes of a lamb's tail.
If the media starts saying they wanted the massive promo a reunion provides but its not a reunion....it can be presented as bait and switch and not too many fans of bait and switches, especially at 400 bucks a pop.
a fool & his money are easily parted.
also to those fans in their 30's & up: they toured the world 3 times over with Illusions w/o Izzy for the most part. they can do it again. granted not at $400 a pop, but it won't be that in other territories.
& even if the tickets get thrown on stubhub & lost to touts Axl has shown with the recent CD tours he's content to play to empty halls as long as he's guaranteed his paycheck.
if the business works sans-izzy then so be it.
as long as he's booked & paid that's the bottom line: ticket sales & attendance are most definitely a secondary concern - one that only raises it's head when promoters start questioning their value for money. once that happens then maybe you have a different ball game (& possibly already, it's perhaps one of the reasons duff & slash are back - i.e. maybe, finally, a CD-era GnR tour couldn't get off the ground due to lack of interest).
& i mean giving management pointers as to what they should be doing.. pfft. man it's long since too far gone to expect some sort of proper plan - or promo. it's just not the way the gnr business is run. never will be. sometimes they get things right & seem to play by the accepted conventions but 99% of the time it seems like its dictated by the whims of the head honcho.
which.. as stupid as it is, is kinda how a rock n roll band should be! i wouldn't have it any other way! it's almost a disappointment whenever they do something normal!

I wouldn't say my boss treats me like gold, so does that mean Axl is a better boss than her?
Are you kidding?! Axl's a fucking great boss! You get paid 10k a mouth to sit on your ass & do nothing! It's a dream gig.
Ok every so often you have to get up on stage & get abuse but like that's once in a blue moon. The rest of the time you're paid exorbitant sums for fuck all other than keeping your mouth shut. Dream job. Put me on retainer Axl! (Tho I probably wouldn't be able to keep my big mouth shut...)

Sky Dog if you don't start appreciating my contributions to this forum I'm going to record a passive aggressive song & tweet it to everyone to teach you a lesson motherfucker!

Yea & now we know why he's not following any GnR members & vice versa..??
Haha it never ends with these guys.. Freakin drama queens.

If that winds up being the case...well to the use the words of one Mr. Izzy Stradlin....
Once there was this rock n' roll band
Rollin' on the streets
Time went by......It's about the money
+1
Seeing that Sunshines tweet/lyrics puts a new perspective of things. Izzy seems bitter. Was maybe offered a way in, didn't like the terms & now is left pissing in the wind....??

Haha izzy's burning his bridges!
Can't see why it'd bother Axl (& Duff n Slash) too much other than the slight embarrassment. Izzys the one on the outside looking in. He can take all the shots he wants til he tires himself out, Axl'll still be the one getting paid.
Shame about the acrimony. At this stage I'm certain Izzy is out & the chances of an AFD reunion/30th anniversary are slim if he keeps this up.
Fuck me. What a bunch of big babies.

I'd have thunk having a Twitter presence would have the opposite effect..??
#1129 Re: The Garden » 2016 Presidential Election Thread » 558 weeks ago
Because there's nothing to vote for. 8 different parties all promising to fuck me. I'm not supporting that, no way.
If they had counted blank votes I would, to show my dissatisfaction, but they're not doing that.
Fuck me you're wild pernickity! 8 freakin options & not one you can agree on? Imagine if you lived in a a 2 party state like the yanks.
8 freakin parties & you still can't get off your arse?! 
They do count blank votes. Or if they don't your country is outta whack. Maybe you should stand for election! Even if they don't count them you still get to write rude messages on them for the benefit of the guys counting them

Why don't you vote?
I always vote, even if it's just to spoil my ballot. Seems a bit rich all this talk then people don't even express themselves when it comes down to it. That vote has a lot of weight & history behind it. You're doing a disservice not utilising your voice in the process. All this talk around the matter but you go missing when it actually comes time for action looks like to me.
