A Croatian (?) newspaper says Izzy is going to replace Robin. Enough of a story for metalsludge to pick it up.

Go ahead. Start bashing and debunking it.

that would be awesome!

his writing abilities are what would be nice for the future releases.

however, this only has steam at the moment because of how cool it would be, robin is with nin, and that axl and izzy toured together in '06.

I'm not sure about this... if Izzy was to replace anyone, it would be Fortus.  Instead of two leads and a rhythm, they're gonna tour with a lead and two rhythms?  I'm not sure how that would work.  It would be cool to have Izzy do lead on a bunch of songs, but I really can't see Izzy committing himself to a full tour with the band.

yeah its not going to happen IMHO...like izzy doesn't really play much lead guitar usually does he? And while he's patched up his relationship with GNR, i really cant see him wanting to be a perminant fixture in the current band.

Izzy on rythm, Fortus steps up to do lead, BH or BF for the riff madness
It would be weird though, Izzy and Fortus look very alike..

Like Monkeychow I can't see Izzy do it, he's not arsed with Lead Singer Syndrome anymore, he's run a mile from it time and time again.

Again I would be fascinated to hear Izzy's take on the whole GNR/VR issue now that Axl & him have made friends again and he's still friends with Slash, Duff and Matt.

Izzy's account would probably be the only one worth considering as the nearest to gospel.

Not likely but it would be perfect if it were true.

In all honesty, Fortus is a better lead player than Robin....Fortus/Bumble could EASILY replicate Robin's parts (both rhythm and lead) in a live setting. Izzy would only be needed for rhythm-which is crucial to the AFD material.
