RUMOR: From VelvetRope - GNR Recording New Tracks Written by Izzy

[GeraldFord]

Remember folks--anyone can register and post at the Velvet Rope. Unless we hear something from the band or mgt, we should assume it's false.

I can imagine Izzy would write a few bits with Axl, but I doubt they will be recorded this month.

One other thing (from an old interview with Izzy):

Popular Magazine 2001:

Is it true that you credited songs for the new Guns album, Chinese Democracy?

"In 95 Duff and me recorded songs for the band. We made a tape that went nowhere. Then, a couple of months ago I have a message on my answering machine: Yo! It's Axl, I need a copy of the songs that you did. There was one called "Down by the Ocean" or "Down by the Sea", they may have used it, I haven't come back to know nothing."

Hmmm with Izzy seemingly cool with Axl again, I wonder if something could come of that?

Here's to hoping

[guns97]

at least the quality of CD would bump up a notch or two.  There's no denying Izzy's songwriting skills.  Then we'd just need Slash and I'd be happy...

Mysteron?

Where art thou?

[nesquick]

Izzy needs to keep his ass outta this band. I want things to get done, no interference. I am narrowmined, Axl is the only person in my head that is still around, andthis is NEW gnr, not guest appearances by former bandmates on whatever they want ?AHHHH whatever tho. ?

I'm sorry, but this is the most stupid thing i have ever read on this board for a while
Dude, without Izzy, there would have been no Guns N' Roses, old or new.

I wouldn't be suprised...  I mean they traveled a lot together from New York to Europe.  Even though my guess would be that they weren't in the same vehicles going from town to town.   Why wouldn't they write something?  They're artists...

[codenameninja]

True or False, Izzy is still Guns n'Roses, all be it ex. If he pens a song or 2 and they use them. He gets credit, nothing wrong with that. It's all cool

Mysteron?

Where art thou?

It's not even worth checking 

[kyrie]

That settles that I guess

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

close this shit

[PJ]

close this shit

SUPER DITTO

It's inevitable with such prolific songwriting talent, coupled with an entire summer on tour, that a few things were written...I seem to remember Axl mentioning a new song w/ izzy, but whether we see it or not is anyone's guess.

[gnrvrrule]

This would be really sweet.  Heck, even if they released some material co-written by them under Izzy's solo name or something else would be cool.  I agree it would be utterly ridiculous to have Izzy fully re-join a band that already has three guitarists.  But it would be nice to have him write some stuff, since we know Izzy trails only Axl in the songwriting department of the old Guns catalogue.  I like the new stuff, but it would be nice to have some more blues-based, Stonesy type stuff to listen to as well.  "Guess we'll have to wait and see..."
