very, very simple song..but thoose songs can be really good...

And this one is  : ok:

Izzy asked JT (bassist) to upload it 8) And I've asked JT for the regular file of it, hopefully he still has it (he uploaded it on another computer then his)

The song has repetitive lyrics but imo it suits the song, it's plain cool 8)

Thanks, I faved it on youtube.

IzzyDutch, do you know when/where the video was shot?

Tell them to make more  :)

Yeah probably not too long after LAD was done, atleast in 2003. And it looks like the 'live' footage was shot in Nomad Recording studios where LAD recorded, judging from other recording pics. There where rumours about a possible music video from the start when the info about LAD first came with the 2 samples and pictures back in 2003. But Izzy never confirmed it really, but it was asked to him again recently and I think now he's decided to finally put it out.

Hammerhead along with Chop Away where recorded after the initial sessions for LAD, Izzy was just home and got the idea for the songs and they went back and tracked those songs aswell. JT played bass on the songs during rehearsels for it and that's why he's only playing bass on those two songs and not the other ones where Izzy plays bass. But both of the tracks stayed on the album, there are 2 or 3 other songs that didn't make the cut of the LAD sessions.

Hopefully Izzy will dump the latest solo album from 2005 on iTunes soon, from what Taz and Rick have said about it a few months ago it should be great...

Izzy these days always reminds me of Al Pacino in the Godfather for some reason. Sorry just had to say it..

Cool video!!

I've refrained from posting here until I've given it a day, but this really isn't very good, is it? Simple kick ass rock n' roll is ok, but this just gets annoying after 20 seconds. The chorus isn't catchy at all, vocals are sub par and the song has no depth at all. Is this the super-duper quality songwriting everybody's always raving about? This proves once more that GNR's strength came from being a band instead of a collection of individuals.

Great song  ;D
From all solo artist of ex GNR members Izzy is my fave  : ok:

cool.

I love Izzy but he can't write worth a shit,neither can Slash.

Less is more...

Wow, totally unimpressed. Izzy is always the one people say writes the best lyrics. Well this was just god aweful. One of the worst songs I've ever heard.  :nervous:

As far as the video concerns, it's good, direct and simple.
As for the lyrics, it's Izzy, he has written a LOT of good ones. If you want to hear good lyrics listen to the whole album.
?
All the girls they like to play
Little money is all they need
They don't ask you where you've been
It don't matter much to them

Yeah you're right... the music of Patience, YCBM, Don't Cry for, 14 Years, Pretty Tied Up, Dust N' Bones suck ;)

You probably haven't heard all his solo stuff so I won't bother mentioning songs from those.

As far as the lyrics go, LAD has some repetitive lyrics on some of the hardrockers. Not all of them. What do you expect? Epic lyrics on these type of songs?

To anyone he can't write good lyrics visit this link and go thru some of the lyrics on all the other solo albums which are more diverse sounding and less hardrock.

Well pal, he has written his share of " Great " and " Classical" lyrics..He doesn?t need to prove a shit..So he can do whatever he want?s  : ok:

^ The guy hasn't heard songs like Sweet Carress, Shuffle It All, Coke N' etc. just Hammerhead which happens to have simple lyrics. Any other person who has listened to more then one Izzy song will understand this ;)

I have listened to all of Izzy's solo music and he is simply boring.He wrote some of the worst songs in GNR.
14 Years
Pretty Tied Up
Dust n Bones
Think About You
DTJ

They're not horrible they're just GNR's weakest songs

I cannot believe you find those weak songs. To each their own I guess... but you're in a minority :P

Agree he doesnt have to prove anything, I mean if he do it for fun or because he can do it, hell do it and I buy it, plain and simple  : ok:

Izzy has wrote some awesome zongs like 14 years, Shuffle It all, etc ...

But this plain sucks. He only sings 'hamma-hamma-hamma-hammerhead', '5000 miles' and 'here we go' ? Dude, that so blows :(.

Like deep lyrics really matter when you listen to a fast hardrock song like this... the music itself doesn't give much space for lyrics

I thought that fucking rocked.  Izzy's great.

Dutch

I'm one your side with this one..after all, were both Izzy fans! ;D

I can't believe people are bashing over one song, half of you guys haven't listen to "Like A Dog" yet.
Ok, this song does have repetitive lyrics to it if you don't like that's your opinion but, let's not turn this thread in to a hate Izzy thing.Izzy is a great songwriter.There wouldn't be a GN'R if Izzy wasn't in the band.Izzy wrote/co-wrote half the songs for GN'R and most of them were hits.


^that's ture......Izzy can write whatever he wants too.
 

Really I like pretty much those songs, strong and deep lyrics, I think as Ducth said to each their own.

*********

Izzy also wrote Patience, Mr. Brownstone and You Could be Mine.
And he co-wrote many other songs.
Izzy? Boring? Hell no!

*********

I agree, if you just listen to his album "On Down the Road," you can get a better appreciation of his lyrical abilities...certainly LAD is probably his weakest in terms of lyrics.

Izzy wrote some amazing songs : Patience, Don't cry, Double Talkin Jive (Slash's classical guitar solo at the end is a classic), You Could be mine, Brownstone, Shuffle it all, etc

But Hammerhead sucks. :P

As a standalone song I can see why some of you think Hammerhead sucks. If you pick up the whole Like A Dog album though it becomes one of the best songs on there... The opening track ("Bomb") is hard rock and it really puts you in the mood for Hammerheads bouncin bass lines  ;D

"Dog" is Izzys weakest album lyric-wise but as someone already said, 'less is more'. Guess you have to hear more than one song for you to understand where Im coming from though.

im rollin on cos i cant go back,
im rollin on cos i cant go back....

*******

eXACTLY

Just buy ALL Izzy albuns and you are getting like 60 songs

5 are perfect
10 are great
20 are very good
15 are good
10 are listeneable

less is more, i am rolling on cos I can't go back

I'd be interested to know which are which, in your opinion.

And why criticize him for writing a short, straight ahead rocker?

What happened to Izzy the good songwriter?

try listening to some off his other solo stuff, great songs? :beer:

Altough I have to agree that I don't like Hammerhead very much? :-\

What happened to your ears :P

*****

It changes from timme to time
Among the perfect ones I'd list now "Sweet Caress" "Rolling On" "Chop Away".
But that is just me.
Go on and buy all his albuns.
If you like blues-based rock n' roll (classic GN'R, Stones, ACDC, Aerosmith), you won't regret!

just cuz ONE song had simple lyrics doesnt mean its bad, like izzy had said before on a sticker that came on my river cd * if it sounds good dont screw with it* for example look at Big Machine. simple lyrics but its fun as hell to play on a bass

I'm happy to be me, sometimes... :D
