ROCK IS DEAD? Full Film: • Rock is Dead? Full Fil...
A look at Izzy Stradlin's importance to Guns N' Roses & Velvet Revolver. Izzy was instrumental in the songwriting for Appetite for Destruction, GN'R Lies, Use Your Illusion I, Use Your Illusion II, and various other GN'R releases, and was part of the songwriting process in early Velvet Revolver. Notable Izzy Stradlin written/co-written songs from GN'R include Don't Cry, Double Talkin' Jive & many more. Vicky Hamilton (GN'R's original manager), Gilby Clarke (GN'R guitarist) & Marc Canter (GN'R photograhper) also appear in this video. Gilby Clarke's and Marc Canter's appearance are from a clip from my documentary 'What is Classic Rock?' (Dee Snider from Twisted Sister, Suzi Quatro & Ben Kowalewicz / Jon Gallant from Billy Talent also appear in this clip) - the links to the full documentary are available here:

I knew Izzy was the secret ingredient in Guns & Roses even when I was a kid in the 80s.

@dathorndike4908 Месяц назад

LA Guns is also a really great, but hugely underrated band. They deserve a doc of their own.

@TravisBrady-wn8fr Месяц назад

Yep. I would watch that for sure.

@jimmythunders95 Месяц назад

100% agree with this. They had a sleazy punk spirit and morphed into such a badass rock n roll band 'till about 1992. Would really enjoy some LA Guns content of any kind.

Without Izzy you get Chinese Revolver or Velvet Democracy it’s pretty obvious his input. The other thing is you have to remember Izzy is a lifelong friend and peer to Axl and is the only one who can tell Axl things he doesn’t want to hear. Matt tried to take that spot but he got fired

@bluglass7819 Месяц назад

Izzy’s solo work is pretty great.

@dathorndike4908 Месяц назад

Great Izzy doc. Love all the vintage photos

@javierservigon Месяц назад

Also, Izzy was a great rhythm player which is very often overlooked. AC/DC wouldn't be AC/DC without Malcom. Eddie Van Halen, sure he's remember mostly because of his lead guitar playing but he was also a great rhythm player. The pull the bands together.

@ChrisEck13 Месяц назад

A lot of people don't realize which parts are Izzy's. They think that any guitar part or lead line that sticks out is Slash but that's not.always the case. Slash did play most of the solos and the melodic lead riffs, but Izzy didn't just sit back and play some chords, he played lead lines and did lead fills. Probably most importantly he and Slash almost always were playing different things, complimentary things but different voicing and different rhythms that worked together.

They made sunset strip look badass.

@kikiki4592 Месяц назад

Izzy was actually jamming with Duff for a while on his solo albums before this happened and him Duff, Slash and Matt eventually started writing and that is where teh soundtrack song came from. Izzy didnt think the band needed a singer, him and Duff could do it. Duff wanted to also, but Matt and Slash insisted on a lead singer, so Izzy pulled a irish exit and Duff suggested Dave who had played in his band. Slash has a lot of lies in his book. Izzy and Duff have said this same thing in different ways back then. Izzy was right too, lol. LSD (Lead SInger Disase) killed that band.

Velvet Revolver wasnt the last time he was involved with the Guns . He toured with Axl's next gen Gn'R in 2006 ..

@kikiki4592 Месяц назад

He only did a couple songs at a few shows. He never did full shows. Duff now did a tour of Europe in place of Tommy Stinson around 2014-2014, If I recall Tommy left the band for a reunion of the Replacements at that time and Axl asked him to help out.

@sixstringhans-tone5574 Месяц назад

Yeah, that’s interesting. I thought maybe you were gonna get a lil deeper on what specific songs Izzy wrote on the first couple G & R albums. But it was stilling there sting as hell. ✌🏼

@michaelperez4001 Месяц назад

Here’s the songwriting credits to Appetite. First credit goes to who wrote the lyrics, that’s why Axl is almost always first. Second, third etc is the order of who wrote the music so you can see Izzy’s influence. Think about you was all Izzy. Welcome To The Jungle - Rose, Slash, Duff It's So Easy - McKagan, West Arkeen Nightrain - Rose, Stradlin, Slash, Duff Out ta Get Me- Rose, Stradlin, Slash Mr Brownstone-Stradlin, Slash Paradise City- Rose, Slash, Stradlin, Duff My Michelle- Rose, Stradlin Think About You- Stradlin Sweet Child O Mine- Rose, Stradlin, Slash, Duff You're Crazy"- Rose, Stradlin Anything Goes- Rose, Stradlin, Chris Weber Rocket Queen- Rose, Slash, Duff

@TravisBrady-wn8fr Месяц назад

Good stuff.

@rodmunch47 Месяц назад

Of course Slash's buddy (Canter) listed him as the second most valuable member when talking theoretical percentages. I'd say Axl, Izzy, and Slash ought to have received about an equal amount for their 4 studio records, with Duff receiving a bit less because he contributed less as a songwriter and vocalist. Slash didn't write as many songs as Izzy but did contribute more parts (rhythm and lead guitar for almost all songs). Izzy and Axl had more songwriting contributions than the others.

@patwilson2546 Месяц назад

G&R never released another original album after Stradlin left. He wrote all of their stuff, so yeah, pretty important.

@amatingmind7258 Месяц назад

He didn't write it all. He wrote a lot of it, though.

@patwilson2546 Месяц назад

@@amatingmind7258 I have no doubt that all of the members contributed to the creation process. Given what happened after he left, I can't help but believe that Stradlin drove it.,

@_.trish._ Месяц назад

@@patwilson2546 Duff says as much in his first book. He says how people assume the main creative force in a band is always the lead singer and lead guitarist but in GNR it was Izzy. It's like you said, nothing new of substance has come out without him there writing. I think the 30% Marc Canter threw out off the cuff is low balling it by a good amount. Izzy and Duff are not the same level of importance to the band, no matter how much they try and say "Big 3" now. And I think, not so deep down, they all know it.

@amatingmind7258 Месяц назад

@@_.trish._ I'd put Izzy at 60% of the songwriting. Some songs, such as "Patience," were entirely his, music and lyrics. GN'R definitely lost a lot when he left.

@tommeredith7462 Месяц назад

Back during that time Axl was pouting like a baby about everything. Apparently he had a lot of deep rooted issues to resolve. When GNR reunited his attitude was much better towards his band mates. Therapy works wonders.

@DaPoopIsInDaPudding Месяц назад

Too late now. They pissed away all the important years.

@amatingmind7258 Месяц назад

Axl's pretty anti- mainstream medicine and psychiatry so I don't think he's been doing therapy. He did past life regression therapy in the early 90s and people who knew him say it made him worse. I don't know if he was "pouting" so much as he's just a very disagreeable person, which he probably inherited through his genes. His biological father (whom he never met and who was murdered in the 1980s) was a small-time criminal in the Midwest. You can find articles online from local newspapers of the 1970s about his escapades and court appearances and it's funny how similar they are to Axl's later antics: showing up late or blowing off court dates, verbal outbursts, throwing a chair at a judge, etc.

With Izzy, GnR was a great rock n roll band whose influences were The Stones, The Faces and 70’s Aerosmith. When Izzy left the band GnR tipped over to being another L.A. 80’s hair band.

@amatingmind7258 Месяц назад

Chinese Democracy doesn't sound anything like 80's L.A. hair metal.

@IvanLendl87 Месяц назад

@@amatingmind7258 Chinese Democracy was Guns n Roses IN NAME ONLY. By the time that album was released it was Axl Rose & his long list of hired hands.

@amatingmind7258 Месяц назад

@@IvanLendl87 Well, that's what GNR became after Izzy left, unless you're referring to the 1992-1993 Gilby Clarke period, which sounded pretty much the same as the earlier stuff, i.e. not like typical 80s hair metal. Gilby's style was similar to Izzy's, in fact, I think they were friends and roommates at one point.

@IvanLendl87 Месяц назад

@@amatingmind7258 When Izzy left in ‘91 GnR carried on with Axl, Duff, and Slash (along w the new members) through 1996. So 5 more years after Izzy left. They were another L.A. Hair Band during that period. Once Slash and Duff also left and Axl carried on w the GnR name from 1998 through 2015 everyone knows that was just the Axl Rose solo show. He called in GnR for commercial purposes. Chinese Democracy was released in 2008 😂! It doesn’t sound like any incarnation of GnR because……it isn’t GnR. It’s so far removed from GnR in both personnel and in time that it’s laughable.

@jamesbarrick3403 Месяц назад

Last few minutes of the doc... I could not disagree more. Yes G&R had the look and reckless attitude, mostly because that is all they knew coming out of the LA scene. That does not define a GREAT R&R band for me. I have been really into rock since 1980 so I have seen my share. 100+ arena gigs, I owned crates of vinyl, etc you get the picture. Of couse I loved ACDC, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac, Zeppelin, Beatles, Skynyrd, as well as SRV, Pink Floyd, Mahavishnu, Pat Benetar, Heart, Tom Petty, Frampton, and a very long list of others. NO you don't need to have that look and be a reckless idiot to be "true rock n roll" That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. If that is where your mind is, okay fine by me but you don't speak for the billion rock fans in this world. Foo Fighters are the biggest rock band now, and they are killing stadiums all over the world.... for the past 30 years. If you do not consider FF a great rock band, we cannot be friends lol

@ryansharp4691 Месяц назад

Does gilby not realize that PLENTY of bands play stadiums nowadays?

@_.trish._ Месяц назад

He said no NEW acts, which he's right about. Bands like Foo Fighters and Metallica are awesome and sell out stadiums in a flash, but they've been around ages. Nothing new has emerged that's captured the attention of fans, nor represented a cultural zeitgeist in a long time.

@kilvapkram4302 Месяц назад

He made some good money and got out? He's not relevant or important to GNR,..........GNR has toured made big money without him for 30 years? I heard Izzy tried to start a suntan lotion company in central africa?(This is funny?) Ceskoslovenska.
