I love Izzy's voice. I love the way he's so mysterious, different, pretty, classy. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/izzy-stradlin#post-32161 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 14:22:10 +0000 ironmanben 32161@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>When Izzy left GNR it lost it's awesomeness. He was so underappreciated. In the GNR songs, I hate how buried Izzy is in the mix. I mean, the bass drowns him out sometimes. I wish they made him a lot louder, at least. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/izzy-stradlin#post-29352 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 05:10:13 +0000 Dash 29352@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Agree.izzy was huge.and u could tell from the UYI tour.gilby is cool,but izzy is just a different feel </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/izzy-stradlin#post-25153 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 21:30:58 +0000 izzyblackheart 25153@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>i totally agree with you guys, and i must say im proud we share the same name <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> <br /> i just hope that HE did not feel unappreciated </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/izzy-stradlin#post-21462 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 08:41:49 +0000 GlamRose 21462@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>"Izzy was Guns and Roses ...

I think Izzy certainly stood out from the rest in GNR and he always gave an extra something to the band. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/izzy-stradlin#post-20793 Sun, 28 Dec 2008 04:40:18 +0000 GlamRose 20793@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Out of all the GNR members, perhaps Izzy Stradlin is the most overlooked. I'd always notice how his style was a tad bit different than the rest of GNR's. More importantly, in addition to being the rhythm guitarist, Izzy wrote a ton of lyrics and even sang in a some songs. </p> <p>One of my favorite GNR songs, 14 Years, was actually sung by him. (Axl helped in the chorus) For the longest time, I thought it was Axl singing in a different voice. Ever since I found that out, I've gained so much more respect for Izzy. He contributed so much to GNR but rarely gets recognized for it. Everything we hear is about Axl, Slash, Duff, and Steven Adler mainly because he's on Celebrity Rehab. We don't hear much about Izzy and I think it's because he has held up the best. Izzy quit drugs earlier than most of the members. He actually used to travel to shows in his own tour bus, because he didn't want to be around the rest of his bandmates who were using drugs / alcohol. I am so happy that Izzy was able to straighten himself out. And as of now, he doesn't seem to be caught in that web of tension between Slash &#38; Duff vs. Axl either. I have a friend who lives in LA and he informed me that Izzy is on good terms with all the band members and that he's keeping a low profile but sometimes comes out and jams at the clubs. Him and Taime Downe are apparently good friends as well.</p> <p>Not to mention, Izzy was successful with the Ju Ju Hounds and ended up making a lot of great music on his own. He's an exceptional musician that deserves much more recognition than he receives.</p> <p><img src="http://axlrock.fc2web.com/izzy_b.jpg" alt="Izzy" /> </p>
