A Lot Of Cool Updates From Izzy

[nyd]

Izzy has sent along 5 photographs from some of his paintings (anyone here knew that Izzy painted??). Anyway, heres the update I posted at chopaway.com where you can see the other paintings 

03.06.2007 - Update From Izzy

Izzy dropped by with a cool update for the fans today, check it out:

"I've been painting since January, acrylic to canvas, lots of different things... and I have five paintings I wanted to share with fans.......... I'm gonna send you rough photos....unclipped or cut..... i was thinking of starting a site of some kind to post up artwork from anybody who cares to send it in: fans, musicians, anyone! "Garage Art" maybe?! .....Cheers, Izzy"

A second email landed shortly after, not only containing photographs of Izzys personal artwork, but with praise for the fans who had already uploaded their own artwork.

"It's funny. I just opened the new site and what do i find?... Art from fans!!!!!!! Fucking great!! A wonderful coincidence....Thanks again, Cheers.... Izzy"

There are further updates from Izzy as you read down the thread... they get cooler and cooler as you go on 

[Chief]

Izzy is sending something even cooler..... but we just have to wait a while.

Entirely offtopic, but did anyone ever hear the rumor that Izzys brother Joe video taped the Japan 2000 Tour? Would love to see that footage  Wink

i hope...

Izzy really seems like he turned out to be the most normal one from GnR. Just does his thing, shows up and says 'hey whats up axl, mind if i sit in?' then he's off doing something else. He doesn't seem to get pulled into any of the drama.

[stolat]

His art work is very John Lennonesque.

I recorded the tokyo and osaka japan 2000 tour shows that are in circulation when I went to Japan 7 years ago - I mugged for the camera when Joe was videotaping the Osaka show - I then met up with Lori Lepper and Duff in 2002 in Seattle when I taped the Loaded show - I sat down with Duff for desert at a local diner the night before the show - Duff told me Izzy's brother videotaped the tour - I wish they would release the footage since the shows in japan were amazing - they even played paradise city with izzy on vocals at one of the shows I missed

this is all first hand knowledge since i saw the shows and talked to duff directly

anyway rock on and RIP Lori Lepper

you're totally right, he goes on his own with no problem, very like him: Izzy. , he gets along with the rest, he just fine with everything, he's a good, I realized, with a good heart, no hard feelings. I mean with Axl, for example, he didn't accpet his phone calls, no accept his visits... N there he's, playin' with him, n the "new" GN'R, even with VR, when they didn't take his opinion 'bout it, so he's a goos human being.

N yes he seems to be most normal guy,  , even he doesn't think so.

Izzy rocks

I hate it when you do that Will 

I'll reply to this comment on Beenafix since it looks like you're about to be banned from HTGTH  -3 Karma... you rebel 

Japan 2000 videos coming "soon" 

[MarioGunner]

Wow, is this for real?? why hasn't anything been mentioned on chopaway??  This would be really killer!!!  Would do anything to get my hands on that cool stuff!!!

Yeh man, its true. Izzy is feeling generous  He has dug out loads of cool shit (videos, photos, tapes) and is in the process of transferring some of them to a computer format... just needs a few weeks to sort it out and he'll sort out some cool downloads 

Im not sure if his comment regarding "a personal site for artwork from fans" is going ahead or not, im sure it will be cool if it does. Maybe Izzy would release some of the items through that site too 

Izzy fans, you can look forward to a summer of rare izzy material i'd say  starting with the japan 2000 videos 

(Oh and I didnt put it on chopaway.com yet because Id like to keep his "Miami" news as near to the top of the page as possible. When the stuff is available Im sure you will all hear about dont worry )

[don_vercetti]

Izzy fans, you can look forward to a summer of rare izzy material i'd say  beer starting with the japan 2000 videos  Grin

That is DAMN cool, can't wait to see all that. 

One thing I heard mentioned somewhere (I think by you, downliner) was that you had a video for Train Tracks stashed away somewhere.  Is there any chance of this ever seeing the light of day?  Train tracks is one of my favourite izzy songs. 

[nyd]

Well my version was crap quality and on VHS 

I got sent a better copy on DVD in a trade and it was a scratched disc and fucked up playing half way through 

I opened my email this morning though and funnily enough Izzy says "i have a dvd rough cut/edit of traintracks from ju ju hounds cd...". He is going to try and send it to me online, if not it will be via airmail and I'll put it online asap 

There is cooler stuff than that coming through too, I think Izzys just found a box filled with old stuff that us fans considered lost  Instead of hoarding he is releasing it all 

[Badapple89]

What a top fella 

[MarioGunner]

But would this be only available for downloading from the site, or it would be like an official release, or something that Izzy will release to be traded around the community??

Haven't got the idea yet, sorry for asking   

[don_vercetti]

Cool stuff man, thanks for all this work from you.  Can't wait to see it.  Cool of Izzy too. 

[Badapple89]

Haven't got the idea yet, sorry for asking? ?

This would probably be available to download from the site and thats it, less hassle that way
