[@mojorisin7371]

Izzy doesn't get enough credit for being the best songwriter in GnR and was a great companion to Slash's playing. The marriage of their guitars worked seamlessly and created the unique sound of the band. He has a great singing voice and a cool vibe to his style, he's definitely more authentic then Axl and probably the most in the band. Hope he's doing well and he should be getting more praise then he does ✌🏽❤

[@knightofniini7772]

When Izzy left , the spark was out of GNR as we know it

[@user-nz5jw2yn6c]

You are right.the other 3. Making loot off the classic songs he wrote .

[@knightofniini7772]

Mostly Axl. Duff and Slash when back on their knees in the end to sign a contract with Axl. How low can you go @@user-nz5jw2yn6c

[@vlad74br]

I agree. Saw GnR twice with him in the early 90s. After he was gone the band was never the same agajn.

[@kirklenigan8570]

@@user-nz5jw2yn6c Well, he does have about $50 million in songwriter royalties.

Ladies and gentlemen the Heart & Soul of Rock N’ Roll, Mr. Izzy Stradlin!

[@rockytheberner]

He and Steven are what made Appetite a real game changer.

[@dathorndike4908]

Nobody sounded like Steven. Matt Sorum just could never replicate that sound and feel Steven had. Not to mention the cowbell

[@robertisham5279]

​@@dathorndike4908I prefer Matt Sorum over Steven Adler.

[@chrismartinez8390]

@@robertisham5279Matt is a way better than Steven.

[@HelloImNotJohnnyCash]

to be honest.. as much as Steven was a character.. as a drummer his impact was not like losing a limb. Unlike Izzy, whom without his contributions you could see a shift in GnR

[@rockytheberner]

@@chrismartinez8390 he is. But it is not always about being technically better, but the groove and the sense of swing Steven had. Izzy himself acknowledged this.

[@treeherder2201]

Izzy has always been too good for the G n R drama. Fantastic rhythm player and musician.

[@JD-rx3pq]

Agreed.

[@michelleneeds4165]

Wasn't he also like the main songwriter as well?

[@Coalbucketlist]

He is truly an amazing songwriter and that is why appetite is so damn good. Guns n' roses should say okay you are our Brian Wilson. You help write songs for the albums and get paid royalties while steering clear of the pressure from touring!

[@royalslack]

If you listen to Appetite with the balance panned to the left speaker - you’ll hear Izzy’s guitar parts & understand how integral his playing was to the GnR sound. He also played the guitar solo on “Think About You”, and the first half of the solo on “Nightrain.”

[@laco9412]

I am better.

[@cesargallo7424]

Out ta get me riff is insane, also You Could Be Mine

[@_.trish._]

Deep down, the 3/5ths of GNR now know how important Izzy is to them. They'll never say it, but they know.

[@flapjack413]

If Izzy was the wall and Slash was the paint, Adler was the foundation the whole damn house was built on. Sorum may be a better drummer on paper, but he didn't have Adler's groove, which was a huge part of the Guns sound. Steven was a criminally underrated drummer.

[@brianplunkett4002]

He doesn’t need the money, and he’s set for life with royalties. Great for him.

[@user-nz5jw2yn6c]

Deserves every dime & more

[@Fish-df5xc]

The wall the paint is on…definitely GNR died when Izzy left No decent music since then It was really his band Now enjoying life & collecting royalties Smart

[@Icarusvampire]

Nope. When Adler left

[@Fish-df5xc]

@@Icarusvampire Adler was the beginning of the end

[@joeheinrichs1413]

If you read the song credits on their albums, he wrote more songs than all the other members combined.

[@axlscum]

He and axl. Dont forget that, despite axls image... Hes such a critical acclaim songwriter

[@doughty7876]

Great great song writer …He is actually better than Axl.

[@einatblackrose]

It's the combination of both Izzy & Axl together. Neither of them is that great without the other. GN'R are the perfect example of a whole that's greater than the sum of it's parts.

[@QueenFanka]

największe marzenie żeby kiedy cała piątka jedynych prawdziwych członków gns się połączyła i znowu coś stworzyła

[@tomsullivan-kc4fb]

Izzy was the heart of GNR.

[@LsTinyDanc3r]

My favorite part of this was him uploading a vid of himself playing: Stuck in th middle with you! (& th little msg behind it!)🤣 That's freakin hilarious! 👍👍

[@kikiki4592]

Esp since he did it outside the rehearsal studio he went to jam with GnR at, they were inside, and he had just walked out and did it.

[@michaelmachung7233]

When he and Adler disappeared from GN'R, that was the end of the greatest rock band since The Beatles.

[@cheribee968]

Izzy could always sing

[@vandalorianvandalorian4769]

‘Appetite For Destruction’ is the ONLY True GNR album.

[@DakVagui]

Real.

[@csababarath2784]

Izzy was always reminiscent of Keith Richards. I wonder what songs they would write together.....

[@sherwinmendoza1221]

Its the beginning of the end for GnR when Izzy left.

[@vlad74br]

Saw GNR twice with him in the early 90s. After he was gone the band was never the same again. Izzy and Adler, alongside Duff, were the foundation were Axl and Slash could lay their solos and vocals. Izzy with his very precise composition style and sense of rhythm. Adler with his loose, but groovy, way of playing drums. Nobody that came after these two replaced then really well. Note even Matt Sorum (an excelent drummer btw).

[@user-rh3yh4hp8k]

Your one in a million. Such talent. Take care of yourself

[@hughmunguskawk]

the photo of izzy skating in a pool is the sickest

[@mariek6993]

izzy knew when he had enough money and when he wasn't having fun anymore and stepped away. he was there for the best years of GNR. i'd have done the same thing.

[@romu7999]

it's so Izzy

[@karattkensair9891]

SO FUCKIN IZZY

[@totsfrreal9038]

I have always loved Izzy, super talented guy, and well, super gorgeous.

[@renatoterziani4103]

You right. Izzy gave Slash and Axel some reason to show how good they were. After that we just heard small pieces of the hole thing.

[@jerrymoney1479]

Without Adler and Izzy , there is no GNR period ..!

[@vickithomas179]

Good for him. So happy he found his peace

[@musicnonstop1945]

this video explains everything, now i understand why gnr never have new material after izzy's departure..

[@chupacabra3331]

GNR let the soul of the band just walk away but they were all going through some shit that clouded all decisions. Slash was high, Duff was high, Axl was dealing with psychological stuff and his own ego. In that way, it would have been impossible for them to say, “hey, let’s keep it together here and figure this out for the future of GNR”. But yeah, I feel like it died with him leaving. Can’t go back now

[@einatblackrose]

Well said

[@19josh77]

Izzy was as important to GnR as Jonny was to the Ramones or Malcolm to ACDC. People can cover it but nobody will replace them

[@bretth4988]

We saw Izzy do a few songs with GNR prior the Duff and Slashing joining. Izzy didn't join the world tour for the carve up of the revenue wasn't equally balanced. And yes without him they wouldn't have a bunch of cool songs. So az this vid states Izzy was a major foundation of GNR. I also learned things like the type of guitar Izzy used played a part giving GNR their unique sound. Izzy deserves a bit of... but who knows if he wants it...

[@leusmaximusx]

so they pay izzy less ? why

[@TheREALJosephTurner]

The only thing I hate worse than Izzy leaving GnR is all these AI-voiced videos that just recycle material from other videos. Do better.

[@MrBrewman95]

What I would pay to see a GnR show with Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy and Matt Sorum.

[@janiterinadrum1627]

I’ve read in several reputable publications Is he straddling was offered a spot on the reunion tour with death/and axle But instead of splitting the loot, they wanted to hire him for $175,000 a year and he said no thank you

[@captainkirk70]

Izzy didn't do the reunion because they offered him sideman pay. Probably the same as Fortus makes. Which is unacceptable. I can see Axl getting a slightly bigger cut since he's the one that kept GnR going. Like it to not. But the way they divided up the percentages was pretty shitty. Can't remember the numbers but it's Axl, Slash, then Duff in that order. The rest of the members are just considered expenses. But Izzy and Steven can be unreliable. Their choice. Whether it's drugs or just being flaky in Izzy's case. Hard to do real stadium tours if you can't depend on everyone being there and able to play. I'm shocked at how good Axl's behavior is on this tour. Must be someone big on hand to hold him down and inject him with valium if he gets crazy. No other way. It's not like severe mental illness gets better with age. And Axl needs to go back to his heavily bearded biker look from 89-90. Does no one tell him how stupid he looks? He looks like he's a roadie for a nu-country act. Crazy that someone who used to look so cool at one point went to the Illusions tour through now looking like an idiot. Bring back the 1990 Axl. He'd look great with a big beard and his cool t-shirts. Not the doofus stuff he wears now.

He was the only dude in that band I paid attention to. I saw them on MTV when Welcome to the Jungle came out. I told my friends, you have to see this band. They're awful. Little did I know the most awful thing I had ever heard would get more successful. This sucked when it came to bands like King's X. Who I thought each member had 10x the talent of these jokers in this band, but couldn't get a break. This is when i knew the Music Industry was fucked. But Izzy? I thought he was the guy in that band that had actual talent. I still do.
