Izzy was saying Axl 3-4 of his songs but didn’t know what would happen to them. Izzy is basically a song writing machine, different from Axl in a way because he plays more guitar and can do vocal melodies. Anyway those 3 or 4 songs could be the missing piece to the next album. With them playing Locomotive you can see why Izzy isn’t touring. The whole thing is much bigger. But for an album to get a couple of Izzy nuggets like DTJ and a Time Gone By.

I could see Soul Monster as like Estranged, a grower that might not be the hit single but 10 years later fans are pleading to hear it live. It is like a darker more haunting Estranged. It has the dolphin guitar and piano breaks. Atlas seems more like the hit ballad. Hardschool or Berlin are great rockers. State of Grace is a cool Bowie pop rock moment before they go epic with Perhaps, Quick Song, Zodiac, Soul Monster.

I don’t see GNR songs like that, especially songs with vocals. Nov Rain was started in Indiana or something. There’s songs on UYI from AFD era. Everything seems to come out 10 years after they were written. At this point if they worked on some AFD era demo that would be fine. And Axl constructing these epic cathedral songs seems to take 10 years.

Elvis, Zodiac, Atlas, Perhaps, Quick Song and Rebel are all pretty big.
Elvis has something of that lilting dolphin Estranged thing.
