Guns N Roses - Rocket Queen - Izzy Stradlin rythm guitar ( guitar cover )

MY BAND \m/ / pnxofficial
That's how Izzy Stradlin rythm guitar goes more or less in Rocket Queen.
Sorry for terrible sound - it comes from little Line6 Microspider and tiny mic.

[@muchsunshine6037]

It's almost like Izzy is playing a different song. But together with slash, it sounds awesome.

[@Dougerro]

Almost every track on AFD was build on two riffs played on the same time

[@jrock8233]

Yeah I know use a trip out back in the day when I used to listen to the AFD and Use Your Illusions albums and I used to balance the speakers left to right and And It didn’t even sound like they were playing the exact same thing Izzy on right channel and Slash on the left and when you put the speakers back in the center it sounded tight!!

[@natalija9054]

Don't forget duff!!! His bass line and Steven's groove is what make this song sound so good!!

[@Ozzie143]

He is playing axl’s vocals on guitar. Legit saved the song during live at ritz.

[@juanamigo]

Pretty much, yeah. Songwriting-wise definitely, groove and rhythm big time. Classically cool look too. I think it’s fair to say GnR wouldn’t have happened without him. Glad as hell I got to see them with him twice. BUT: He was never the draw for the colossal crowds. That was always because of the performance-type talent and freakishness of those other guys. So there’s some bands who wouldn’t try to go on without their “heart”, I.e. Rush/Peart. But unfortunately Izzy’s the kind of “heart” who’s not necessary for big ticket sales. I’d sure pay to see him play again though.

No man that’s legit

[@BigTyronie]

Nah… they intentionally laid the parts where you cant always tell if its lead or rhythm youre hearing. Izzy was so good because he was as an accomplished of a lead player as he was a rhythm player. Just like Slash is perfectly capable of writing and playing rhythm. The talent in this band was immense and deep.

[@rocknrollreststop7110]

I can barely hear this part on the radio and one day I put the AFD record on the turn table and the (right or left) speaker one went out and it was just Izzy’s part and I was completely blown away. Couldn’t believe I’d never picked out this rhythm with my ear before that day! Now I can’t unhear it thank GOD. They should have turned him up in the mix on that track 100%

[@pottergeist]

Izzy's guitar parts are way cooler than Slash's in some bits of this song, especially before the breakdown

[@boutepe]

Not Axl, not Slash but Izzy is the real genius in GNR. He also was the glue keeping those two huge ego's in place. That eventually got to him so much that he left the band. GNR hasn't made a half decent song after that without him really.

[@hmarote]

He said that you couldn't hear his guitar any more that's why he left the band. Was that true? I mean you couldn't hear him any more? In concerts? Never understood that.

[@JoePumpkinGuitars]

I think Izzy is a better guitarist and songwriter than Slash.

[@richardrackley2430]

It's not really that... I just think his musical approach is just so good that it's more likable, and when it's merged with Slash's blues style it's musical perfection. I noticed that Izzy almost took an african american funk approach towards his rhythm playing... which is something that made GNR so much different than any other rock n' roll band. Listen to his rhythm playing and his note choices and compare it to a funk song and maybe you will see what I mean.

[@JoePumpkinGuitars]

Yeah you can never guess which note he will play next.

[@softhari]

Rick Rackley My thoughts exactly :) African American Funk, that's what I always used to think..

[@argelino230]

***** I think it's more of a complementarity thing between the two men. they complete each other perfectly, and it's so amazing when u listen to guns n roses and focus on the guitar parts ( lead and rythm), and that aspect made guns n roses the best rock n roll band in the late 80's, in addition to axl's crazy vocals, duff punky bass playing, and steven groove :)

[@rodmunch47]

Great cover of Izzy's part. I appreciate the nuanced differences between the first and second verse you picked up on.

[@timotley2100]

I counted at least 6 different riffs in that song you could make a different individual song out of. I knew there was a few based on the tempo changes and intro vs body, but kudos for revealing just how intricate this song is. I was going to say masterful as well, but everyone already knows that. Rocket Queen might be their best tune. I love Izzy, they're obviously not the same GnR without him, but by no means does that mean he's more valuable or important than Slash or Axl. Their shit is equally impressive, and while Izzy wrote the bones of a lotta songs, they're not special without Axl's lyrics and voice and Slash's leads and fills. Not to mention they wrote the bones to a lot of songs as well. I was really hoping that Izzy would join when Duff and Slash returned. I've head his reasons and issues, but still not convinced it's the entire story. Slash and Duff should have indulged him for a 5 year run. Let Izzy and Duff sing, and write an album or two of new material. The people would have consumed it. I don't think Duff and Slash believe they would have, but I'm quite certain. Probably not possible anymore without Axl getting hurt and throwing them out of current GnR.

[@TheKINGandJOKER]

No wonder Slash was able to shine as much as he did. Izzy plays rhythm guitar with a lead guitarists mindset combined with Duff and Steven and you have, arguably, the best rhythm ever. Slash would lay an awesome lead guitar over everything and create a hell of a rock song. I really wish this band could have stayed together. I'm grateful for the 3 studio albums they put out, but they had so much left in the tank.

Essa guitar base dele, é singular!!! Experimentem ouvir o disco solo dele: pop show guitarra... Tem uma música .. shuffle ALL!!!
