Fans Start Online Petition For Izzy To Join Shows

[Kasanova King]

New petition:

http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/we-want-izzy-stralin-in-the-upcoming-guns-n-roses-reunion-sh

Sign Away & let's convince G N' R and Izzy to come to an agreement for some shows!

[GypsySoul]

That's kind of creepy IMO.

I think (hope) Izzy already knows how much the fans would love for him to be there.

I think most fans feel that it's Izzy's personal choice not to be a permanent player in the band.

I think (hope) that most fans respect Izzy's choice.

[Spirit]

Not against the petition in itself.

This caught my eye though:

"Me and my friends have each spent of $1,000 for plane and hotels fees to go to Vegas, and we ONLY did it cause we thought you would at least make an appearance, Izzy - as rumors had suggested you would."


That just seems like guilt is being placed on Izzy. If Izzy ends up coming mainly because he feels guilty, not sure if that's alright.

I agree.  Not sure who started that one, but we started a new one.

The shows haven't actually been advertised as reunion shows, and haven't been called that except by some fans and media.

This petition doesn't feel right

At the very least, it's a semi- Illusions tour reunion as the same amount of the classic lineup that were in most of the Illusions tour, will be in this one.  That's why having Izzy would make it that much closer to a classic lineup reunion.

But it hasn't ever been promoted nor advertised as a reunion show period- only media and fans have used that label.

I'm good with shows as they are, if Izzy decides he wants to show up I'm sure that option is open.

This petition feels like a strong arm attempt at manipulation.

It hasn't been promoted as such probably for legal reasons is my guess.  But the most fans are calling it a reunion.  If you feel it's an attempt at manipulation, don't sign it...lol.

The premise that "most fans" are calling it a reunion in no way refutes the fact that it has never been advertised nor promoted as such in any official capacity.

It hasn't been promoted as a reunion, but the promo videos show only Axl, Slash and Duff, which leaves the door open for speculation to who the rest of the band members will be.

So you can say they've indirectly invited people to think so, giving no statements on the full line-up yet.

LOL  ....I'm guessing you may be a part of G N' R's legal or the promoters legal team....

[Jay Tea]

I used this line earlier today on some fan crying that he's entitled to more information from the band..

"NOBODY OWES YOU. NOT ONE GOD DAMN THING."

...sorry

Hardly- IF it were a full reunion of the AFD lineup it would be extremely downright stupid not to advertise it as such.

No brainer there- Duh.

Only fans,some media outlets, and some petition writers  have called this a reunion.

For us hardcore fans here at the message boards, sure.

For a casual fan just seeing Axl, Slash and Duff in a promo video... not that sure. I think many of those people saw the video and though "Hmm, looks like GN'R have reunited".

Does the casual fan know who is in GNR aside from Slash, Axl and to a lesser degree Duff? I doubt it.

Doesn't change the fact that this was never advertised nor promoted as a reunion tour.

[GypsySoul]

Why does anyone feel the need to "petition" him?

That twitter account was allegedly started by Izzy to let the fans know his current status concerning his participation in the upcoming GNR shows.  Why not just post there?

You'd be surprised how many people willing to shell out $300+ a pop per ticket know exactly who the classic lineup of G N' R was.  They bought the albums, they bought the posters back in the day, etc.   I'd be willing to bet the majority of them paying to see them know exactly who Izzy is.  It still doesn't mean they won't go.....but if you asked them, I'm pretty sure they would love to see him involved.

I don't know, perhaps not by name.

If they have shown the current line-up in the promo, I don't think many would have noticed if it was Izzy or Richard. Frank and Steven aren't much alike though.

I think the casual fans know the classic line-up from the iconic group photos and music videos.

But this hasn't been advertised as the classic lineup, and wasn't when everyone bought tickets.
