Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: jimmythegent on February 17, 2005, 04:43:25 PM yes the Ju ju hounds album is a little gem
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: Rohlm on February 17, 2005, 08:48:03 PM Yeah, definately the Ju Ju Hounds....
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: dont_damn_me on February 18, 2005, 12:38:16 AM I only have two Izzy albums......the Ju Ju Hounds album is prob. an all round better album than 117* but 117* has 4-5 great tunes which are as good as or better than the Ju Ju Hounds best. There both cool chilling disks :smoking:
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: Steve McKagan on February 18, 2005, 04:43:58 AM His first album with the Ju Ju Hounds and the second, 117 is the ones that stands out. The last three "Ride On", "River" and "On Down The Road" is pretty similar but I think I like "Ride On" best of those. But River has also some great moments, the two reagge numbers not to forget.
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: *Izzy* on February 18, 2005, 10:26:08 AM I'd start off with Ju Ju Hounds (http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/musik/music-smiley-010.gif) : ok:
:smoking: Izzy? :smoking: Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: IzzyDutch on February 18, 2005, 10:32:11 AM Ju Ju Hounds has the Rolling Stones sound and vibe, 117 degrees has the UYI vibe of Izzy's songs. You pick ;)
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: Assman on March 01, 2005, 10:49:08 AM As most of the others I have to recommend "Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds". It is the only one of his records that is really good. The rest range from almost ok to pretty good.
Maybe he saved some material when he knew he would quit Guns????? Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: IzzyDutch on March 01, 2005, 12:31:11 PM Nope, he said that all of his songs on Ju Ju Hounds where written afterwards...
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: AdZ on March 01, 2005, 02:59:30 PM Ju Ju Hounds
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: dolphin on March 01, 2005, 05:11:03 PM Definitely pick up a copy of Ju Ju Hounds.
You won't be disappointed :smoking: Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: RichardNixon on March 04, 2005, 01:27:21 AM I'd start off with Ju Ju Hounds, but since Izzy's albums are so rare, I'd buy whatever you can find. I think I like Ride On the best, but they are all very good. Also, try amazon.com to buy some of his CDs.
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: N.I.B on March 04, 2005, 10:07:15 PM i really liked on down the road
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: 2NaFish on March 05, 2005, 09:45:17 AM gotta say that my favourite izzy album is on down the road (sweet caress is great), but you should really start off with izzy stradlin' and the ju-ju hounds. To be honest though all the albums are very good and pretty rare so buy what you can when you can.
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: Michael_Stradlin on March 05, 2005, 02:29:14 PM Nope, he said that all of his songs on Ju Ju Hounds where written afterwards... Train Tracks was written many years before... and yes the rest afterwards. Like most of You I would choose Ju Ju Hounds from beginning... I started with Ride On & River but these aren't the best album in his discography :) Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: IzzyDutch on March 05, 2005, 02:53:39 PM Oh right, I missed that one ;)
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: Michael_Stradlin on March 05, 2005, 05:04:04 PM Yeah, Tracks was written in 1988 or 1989 so in GN'R period but as unfinished song... In December 1991 Iz wrote the rest of it and than finished it with Jimmy when he came to Lafayette to join Izzy with writing the stuff.
Damn... I really would like to see this unreleased Train Tracks video :-\ Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: jarmo on March 05, 2005, 05:15:21 PM I really would like to see this unreleased Train Tracks video? :-\ Unreleased? I remember seeing it on tv back in 1992/1993..... /jarmo Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: 2NaFish on March 05, 2005, 05:32:57 PM The only izzy solo video i've seen is for shuffle it all (there's a beavis and butthead intro too which is cool.). Has izzy got any other videos?
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: Michael_Stradlin on March 05, 2005, 05:58:39 PM Unreleased? I remember seeing it on tv back in 1992/1993..... /jarmo Wow... I really thought it was unreleased... how does it look like? Was it a live shoot from hounds' concert or sth like shuffle? p.s. I know Izzy was makin a video for one song for Like a Dog.... I'm sure it is unreleased? :) Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: jarmo on March 05, 2005, 07:45:26 PM Since it was years ago when I saw it, it's kinda hard to say what exactly was in it.
I think it was live footage. /jarmo Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: Jim Bob on March 06, 2005, 01:08:11 AM JuJu Hounds and 117 degrees are really tight. The rest are all good too, but the first two are the best. :beer:
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: Steve McKagan on March 06, 2005, 01:39:35 AM This is off topic but i gotta ask since there is Izzy-experts around.
Someone who got that radio Interview with Izzy on mp3 from the time around the release of Ju Ju Hounds??? I had it on my computer years ago but no longer. Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: 2NaFish on March 06, 2005, 08:20:50 PM This is off topic but i gotta ask since there is Izzy-experts around. Someone who got that radio Interview with Izzy on mp3 from the time around the release of Ju Ju Hounds??? I had it on my computer years ago but no longer. I had it a few years back and lost it too. Was pretty good; he really seemed relieved to be clean. I was always happy that izzy got out cos it seemed he wouldn't have lasted much longer the way he was going as i don't think he could handle it at all. Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: Michael_Stradlin on March 11, 2005, 05:01:43 AM I'm sure I've got that interview somethwere in my cds... I'll try to find it and put on the internet
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: sg4eva on April 18, 2005, 10:11:34 PM I only have the Ju Ju Hounds and 117* but I love both to death, I learned a handful of songs from each of them on guitar. I was so proud.
Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: axleu on April 24, 2005, 05:36:30 PM 117 degrees and On down the road...
Then Ju Ju Hounds... Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: nyd on April 28, 2005, 08:09:12 AM I would say Ride On or River first :D
The Izzy Fansite now online: www.izzy.34sp.com Title: Re: Which Izzy album should I get....first? Post by: nyd on May 14, 2005, 01:17:21 AM Quote of course i do care about the other bands but shit , vr and gnr and 355465 different projects and solos by ex-guitarists of the ex-guitarists..fuck it man I just didn't see the point in making an Izzy Stradlin site and filling it with shit about GNR/VR that is already available. Theirs too many GNR/VR sites out their already. Besides, Izzy quit 14 years ago - their shouldnt be any news regarding GNR that includes him lol. |
