[CONFIRMED] Izzy talks: Not involved with GN'R at this point

[GypsySoul]

Del isn't verified on twitter either, but there is no doubt in my mind that it isn't him.

That's not a good comparison because Del himself verified it was his twitter by posting on his other social media and inviting people to follow him.

For those who don't know, Del's twitter handle @deljamesgang

True, guess it will be a limbo type of situation until it is either verified or proven to be an imposter.

Izzy just posted a video, I guess the twitter account was real, what a bummer if he isnt on the Las Vegas shows!

[faldor]

I would say that video is confirmation enough. I still think Izzy will be involved in some manner.

[Buckeye]

I know I'm going to be mocked for this... but are people sure that is Izzy in the video?  I'm not.  And even it is, the guy behind the Twitter account could have had access to some obscure Izzy video and uploaded it as "proof." 

This needs verification from someone outside of the Twitter account itself or the Downliner guy. 

[Mysteron]

Just to let you know.

I asked Alan Niven to verify the Izzy twitter account, and he has had contact from a trusted source who had a phone call from Izzy verifying that the account is real

While what you describe is entirely possible, at some point you have to accept the most likely scenario. In this case that would be, it's really him.

I mean, you'd be able to question just about anything for its authenticity. It's an Izzy lookalike, it's a video someone got their hands on, it's someone who sounds like Izzy, it's photoshopped, etc.

That was an awesome 20 seconds, thanks!  Izzy's great.  Shame it looks like he won't be a main part of the reunion tour (or whatever we're calling it), but I wish he'd at least do some shows of his own.  I understand that small clubs and theaters won't pay the cost of travel, but he can at least do LA shows and maybe some Vegas spots.

It is legit not sure what else you need

"At this point in time..."

We'll see.

Just saw this posted over at www.gnrevolution.com by AtariLegend, in case anyone still needs further confirmation. From Rolling Stone

And now the title of the thread has changed to CONFIRMED

Yeah, that's me doing that. Just so there's no confusion, people thinking Jarmo did something that he didn't.

The Rolling Stone article and Izzy's video convinced me. 


Just to add, Mysteron's insight as well. Gotta credit Will/Chopaway too!

[Thorned Rose]

Well he's out. For now at least.

So many of you were calling fake.

[Spirit]

Maybe this will open up the information flow from the GN'R camp a bit.

I think they wanted to have a bit of mystery surrounding these shows, but now that things are clearing up they might as well go public with the line-up for the show? Although, I think we know 99% for certain what it'll be.

The line-up in itself might not be a mystery, but if it's out there and official, I think that could lead to more pictures/videos from rehearsals for instance.

[GeorgeSteele]

Now that we know it's him, any theories as to whether he's not involved due to his choice or a failure to come to terms?  His tweets don't seem to indicate anything about the reason why he's not involved. 

By the way, who would have guessed that the only guys publicly commenting on all this would be Izzy and Pitman?   

[LongGoneDay]

Bummer.
Hopefully that changes.
Definitely a fuck ton less exciting without Izzy on board, but cool that he let people know what?s up beforehand.
I'm sure the shows would have sold out regardless, but I'm sure the mystery didn't do GN'R much harm in terms of sales either.
Who would have thought Izzy would be the most vocal of the bunch in 2016?
