Welcome to the Jungle - Isolated Guitar Track (Izzy only) + Bass Track 

THIS

Remember that he also had the pleasure of playing behind Duff, Steven and of course Slash & Axl....that helped Izzy more than anything in his musical career more than anything imo.

​​@@jeffgreene1055What do you mean playing 'behind' Duff, Slash, Steven and Axl? If anything, they played with him or on top of him. They had the pleasure of playing songs that he helped write, compose, arrange, and even sing lead or backup on.

I love Izzy, but completely disagree. Izzy wrote the majority of the music, Axl added the layers, slash added the funk. Izzy was THE key song contributor, but his style was more reggae rock n roll, without slash and axl primarily, his tunes would only have been very good, with all 5, their contributions have never been beaten

Exactly!

He's the definition of world's most underrated guitarist in my opinion. One of the biggest bands in the world ever and no one other than true fans/guitarists knows who he is. When you listen to his tracks in isolation, you realise how much work he was putting in and how creative he was and how his contribution was a major element of the GnR sound. They were the perfect storm. Malcom Young is a close 2nd in world's underrated guitarist for exactly the same reasons.

@@guyditchfield5888 I couldn't have said better, you just took the words out of my mouth

Totally. Izzy, duff and Adler kept it all together.

@@todd-1 and as soon as Steven was fired, the shit hit the fan :(

Hes my favourite rythym guitarist ever. Great tone and feel..

He was the glue that held this album together.

Agree.

Never looked it that way. Well said👍

Oh really

I agree completely. Well, metaphorically, though, Izzy was Slash's rock in a lot of ways. I don't think Slash realized what a great partner he had in Izzy until he didn't have him anymore. I think he always knew they had a good thing, but when Izzy was really gone and it came time to compose, arrange, and write without him, he realized how phenomenally well they worked together. They balanced each other out, brought the best out of each other - their two different styles complemented each other. It's a perfect example of how two guitarists versus one can take the music up a notch.

I remember Izzy referring to Adler as the Push and Pull.

right on my dude

Yep… i was working this out and was attributing much more of the phrases to Slash

Guns are not hard to learn, but they take time

@@rafaruiz3462 so they are hard...

​@@rafaruiz3462 It's not hard to build the great wall of china. It just takes time.

No, slash always has a rhythm track too. They’re panned right and left

Slashes is the one you actually hear. If you listen closely you can hear the loose pickup sounds of Izzy but overall Slash is more present.

Yes This. In the video you can see him playing much of this, but sadly in other videos you can't

The reason why you hear Slash more is because he used the stereo mix. And Izzy only one side. I kind of hate that cause it drowns him out a bit. There are a handful of performances where Izzy is turned up a little bit more and you can actually hear him. And I gotta say - it sounded great.

Malcolm you mean

yeah kinda reminds me of mick ralphs

Spot on. And we're talking 70's glam, not hair metal. The glam/punk feel of Appetite is the same to me as on Too Fast For Love by Motley Crue. Both albums heavily driven by their respective drummers, and their rough mixes. Izzy just laid a scratch track down, then never returned to the studio. TFFL was supposed to be a demo but never got re-recorded. The grooves of both Steven Adler and Tommy Lee were perfect for each. Two of the most attitude infused albums ever cut.

🤣

Of course he could. I mean, just because he was a rhythm guitarist doesn't mean he couldn't play lead. Slash liked and wanted to play lead. That's what he was hired for. But Izzy played a little lead. I'm sure he would have played more but let Slash have it. He could definitely do them though.

we can hear slash's guitar in some other parts too

Because this is from Guitar Hero 3. AFD is basically left channel Izzy, right channel Slash rhythm, then Slash solo in the middle, and several extra Slash parts here and there. Guitar Hero 3 only had 2 guitars so many of these parts are mixed here.

He said in the description he put in slashs parts a little too because during the solos izzy doesn't do much. He didn't want to leave it in silence that whole time and to make it more Interesting he put in some slash

@@timelapsekings3787 But if you listen to the record you can hear a lot going on behind the solos. Someone is playing some rhythm riffs, whether Izzy or Slash is playing it, there's definitely plenty going on. Whoever put this together missed something.

@@Petes-Vintage correct. This is the best video I could find about izzy’s part. Izzy is definitely doing something behind slash his parts. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pXugHzNtBHA.html

If you read a couple comments above it says this is from guitar hero or one of those games? And its cut up differently in that game (and here) than it is on the album. So where you are hearing Slash only and not Izzy, that is due to the game taking out Izzy's parts there. Evidently they have another part of the game where some of Slash's parts are removed as well. Look above for the comment.

They were either limited on tracks or they were leaving room frequency & stereo wise to avoid any freq cancellation & sound clutter. But I love it. It's part of what's great about Appetite... the way little guitar lines & fills cut in and out. Sometimes they're sparse and sometimes intense but it's beautifully arranged and there's no arguing with the final product. Afterall, isolated tracks are not important, it's all about the full mix. Which in the case of Appetite is downright stellar(As I'm sure you know). Cheers my friend!

@@t-boog2173 This track comes from the video game Guitar Hero III. For some reason they spliced the tracks all weird for that game. For example, in this track you can hear Izzy's rhythm but it cuts out during Slash's solos and little fills here and there. Izzy's parts that are cut out on this track are on the vocal track in the game if I remember correctly. That's on RU-vid as well. Anyway, the tracks were not mixed like that on the actual record. Izzy's track would have had his entire part on the same track. Slash's rhythm part would have been on its own track in it's entirety and his lead guitar overdubs would have been on their own tracks as well.

@@506thLittleberry Oh, I got you. Heck, Appetite has so many guitar parts & layers, I honestly didn't think it was that unusal. Btw, I grew up in the 80's where 16 or 24 tracks were all you had and drum mics usually ate up 8 or so of those tracks. So we got good at punching in fills & parts whereever we could fit them. Like if the vocal harmony track was silent in the verses, we would use that space to punch in another part. Anyway, Thanks for setting me straight. Rock On!

@Jeronimo Baro izzy not played that part: 3:24

YES! everything except the solos. So funky!

And again during the main solo

In the description he says that he added some others parts and not only izzy's to make it run smoother and not leave silence. Slash does that part and izzy doesn't.

Tone here is crap compared to the album.

Yeah

no

He plays the tuba.

He sings the "shanananana knees" part.

check my other video, slash has more distortion

Slash plays more of a 16th note variation too, where as this is more loose and follows the rhythmic locket if the drums more

This is definitely Izzy Stradlin

@@vinniesmyyth334 it has his cool vibe doesn't it. One of the things about the duff, slash, izzy, and axl doing solo work post use your Illusion is you can hear what they each brought in. Izzy definitely had the funk and cool vibe going on.
