Dust N' Bones: The Untold Story of Izzy Stradlin

[Fretzo]

Thanks, that's great.  
I hope that Izzy is involved in some way.  It would be nice to get a second version of Vince Neil's story about Izzy in The Dirt.

[Fretzo]

This should get moved to the main GNR section.  This may be the closest that they'll get to seeing a release date for anything this year.

For some reason I keep thinking it's Izzy's auto-biography... I guess not.

Either way, it should be a great read.

Black Market Publishing has formally announced plans for the first ever biography of legendary Guns N Roses rhythm guitar player and lead songwriter Izzy Stradlin! "Dust N' Bones: The Untold Story of Izzy Stradlin", set to be released in the fall of 2004, this biography promises to deliver for fans the full story on one of hard rock's most intriguing and elusive icons, chronicling Izzy's rise with hard rock's most notorious frontman W. Axl Rose from Lafayette, Indiana to the streets of Hollywood in the early 1980s, where the two rose through the Sunset Strip underground via Hollywood Rose toward stardom in what would become the biggest rock band in the world at its peak, Guns N Roses. As Axl Rose's companion and principle songwriting partner for the better half of 2 decades, Izzy Stradlin carved out his niche as one of the most respected rhythm guitar players in hard rock history, writing many of Guns N Roses most famous anthems along the way, becoming a multi-millionaire in the process, and then, disappearing at the peak of Guns N Roses popularity.


Featuring exlusive interviews with many current and former GnR insiders, as well as members of Izzy's solo band, the Ju Ju Hounds, and other relevant sources, Black Market Publishing hopes to offer fans the most revealing portrait ever on one of hard rock's coolest rebels!

I sent them(hardrockbooks@hotmail.com) an e-mail to ask about the release date.

I mentioned that i'm a poster at this board and that if they give me any info about the book or the release date I will post it here for thousands of GNR fans to read each day. I mentioned that this website promotes all material released by GNR and it's former members so this would be a good place to get the word out to GNR fans.

If more people can send e-mails like this I think that we would have a good chance at getting a response.

thanks.

What's up with hotmail and yahoo adresses? Sounds a bit spooky/fake to me. Why don't they have an official website or something?
