Izzy On Chinese Democracy ??

[Grouse]

No chance...

[bringbackadler]

No chance...

I wouldn't necessarily say that. I agree w/ whoever said earlier that I think he'll at least have writing credits, even if for only one song.

I said no chance because I got a feeling that axl wants this to be a "new" guns record....so that means no ties to the "old"....

[AsXpLy]

i wish that .

[BenDixon]

He probably won’t be on CD. In think he got back together with Axl a little too late in the process. But what do I know? I’ve been known to be wrong in the past. And a couple of those times I’ve not minded at all. This time it wouldn’t be any different 

[J?]

Probably under Axl's or the bands thank yous in the booklet.

[Mr. Mini Mite]

Maybe guest vocals on a song.

[The Legend]

I think there's probably a 50/50 chance. I personally don't think he'll be on there, but I also wouldn't be shocked if he is.

He may not do anything that we think off the top of our heads. One would assume writing or guitar tracks, but you never know, Izzy sung some of his stuff, he may just lay some backup vocals on something. Who knows, just theory.

Once again, I personally don't think he'll be on there.

deep blue ocean? where did you hear about that??

btw, i really doubt izzy is involved with the new album at all

Izzy mentioned it in an old interview. It was a song he wrote that Axl initially rejected then later called him up for again. If you search this forum you can find info for it because it's been talked about on here before. Was back in the 90s though so who knows if it survived, but then a lot of these songs have been around a long time.

maybe eminem will sing on cd....maybe john lennon will sing a duet with axl...maybe you all have no clue if izzy will appear...have patience, cd is coming soon.

Of course we have no clue, that's why the thread is a question seeking opinions. We are allowed to partake in a little conjecture around here, right?

Me, I think he'll be on it in some way. Maybe backing vocals. I'm not a big fan of the backing vocals that the current guys provide.

[Eclipsed107]

Maybe, but probably not.

I'd say there's a better chance of Izzy appearing on the next cd than Chinese Democracy though.

[bazgnr]

Hmm.  If showing up in the "Thank You's" counts as being on CD, then perhaps.  Actually participating in the recording/songwriting?  Unlikely...at least for now.

[oneway23]

As great as that would be, I think this particular album needs to stand on it's on two feet.  No objections if he appeared on the follow-up though.

[novemberparadise23]

i mean if izzy and the band wrote a song that makes the record better  more power to them put it on there

[BumbleFinck]

I wouldn't be surprised if he had writing credits. I mean, think about the illusions where people like wes arkeen and del james got writing credits. They were people who dealt with the band but weren't actually IN the band. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if Izzy helped write something perhaps during the summer or even prior to that. I mean, we don't know how long axl and izzy have actually been talking again so it really is possible.

It's mentioned in a 2001 interview called Rock 'N' Roll Popular 1 no. 333

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."

I mean, we don't know how long axl and izzy have actually been talking again so it really is possible.

November 2006

Izzy: I spent my summer vacation touring with Axl`s new gnr and had some fun playin live again. Amazing fans out there.... It's hard to believe at times. Fantastic! GnR tour: Axl and I connected via cell phone [digital] this year, I stopped bye to see if he looked as old as he might be............same age as myself, you know and he looked great!, and it was nice to reconnect with an old friend/war buddy/fellow musician. I told him later I`d like to join the fun in some way and he said I was welcome to come and play something, so I did! Took me about 3 weeks to recover from the 6 weeks of touring!


Eventhough I wouldn't be suprised if Izzy's guitar is on CD it probably won't cause he hasn't mentioned anything about it the news updates during the tour and the podcast interview. I think if Izzy had recorded something for it he would've mentioned it somewhere at some point.

[Orgasmatron]

I am willing to believe he wrote some stuff with Axl & Richard.. But I highly doubt he'd be playing on Cinese Democracy, thank God!

[[mango]]

I hope not...

[doooodickiebr]

true...backing vocals by the current lineup suck....nothing compared to members of original band....glad axl still rocks though!
