Izzy was the heart n doul of Guns. The original lineup of gnr is what made them so special and talented. They all gave an important ingredient to the band. They were the last true hard rock band with individual rock stars in it it. That is why when Steven and Izzy left it wasnt the same anymore. They weren't the true special guns n roses anymore
Izzy is great and his guitar style complimented slash so well. Always has the groove going. He always had a cool Keith Richards meets Johnny thunders vibe.
Exactly. Izzy gave them "street cred" of a kind, in that he seemed authentic. He looked like young Keith Richards and played hollow body guitars in the 80s, when everyone was playing neon, sharp, heavy metal looking BC Rich guitars, etc.
I don’t agree . I see what your saying and he absolutely had a major roll but to give him the “credit “ for all the great songs does a diss -service to the rest of the band . Slash has gone on to snake pit , velvet revolver and now the conspirators . There are many many great guitar riffs and songs that he has written in those bands . I mean no disrespect to Izzy , but after he left guns I really wanted to like his solo stuff badly and bought his first CD release the day it came out …unfortunately it fell short for my liking the same as the things that followed . Again no disrespect to him because he had a major roll in guns.
@@philandviki I hear ya brother and I think my phrasing may have sounded like l was saying that Izzy is the only reason Guns had success. I was not saying that. What I meant was that Izzy was the guy that held everything together in the studio. Axl was on one end of the spectrum while Duff and Slash were on the total opposite end and Izzy was in the middle, keeping everything balanced.
@@debbiehunt1904 I was really disappointed that Izzy wasn't part of the reunion. I don't think the band has any clue the kind of reverence Guns fans look at Izzy with.
Izzy was the brains behind Guns and Roses, when he announced he was leaving the band, that's when they did a double album and used up all of what Izzy had written.
You izzy fans just be flat out lying or is just purely delusional because none of this is true🤣🤣izzy was not the brains or the main writer in the group. Yall even think he wrote most or all the guitar solos when all played a significant part bit mainly axl. Izzy wrote a few hit songs on his own and now yall exaggerate his "genius"
@@Godloveszazayou are incorrect sir. Axl is greedy as hell, would never give Izzy a dime unless it was illegal to withhold funds. Izzy wrote pretty much all of Appetite and 1/2 of both Illusions.
Izzy is/was the smartest bloke in the music biz..he got out & survived.although he recently looks ill due to past .......stuff.its all in the right hand & riffs.
If Izzy Stradlin was a basketball player, he could play point guard, Center and forward as well. While in Guns and Roses, he was the most versatile member who made the biggest contribution to there success.
I haven’t seen Izzy come out with any hits after guns either . He had a roll in guns and roses for sure . To say he wrote all the great songs is going a little far . Slash has gone on to 3 other bands in which he wrote some seriously great guitar riffs . I haven’t seen anything from Izzy that even comes close . I wanted to really like his stuff but it falls short for me . It seems like Izzy has quit a following and people credit the entire success of guns and roses to him . He was a component of a great band and that band together had many hits but when he left Izzy did not go on to write anymore “hits” himself . I think we all need to give the rest of the band their do as well as credit Slash with a big part of the Riffs that they came up with jointly . I can think of many songs from Velvet Revolver , Snake pit and the conspirators which are really solid guitar rock . I can’t do that with Izzy and the juju hounds etc .
Izzy Stradlin the greatest thing to ever happen to Guns N’ Roses and the worst by leaving them. I’m sorry to those who simply do NOT get “IT” but when Izzy left? He literally took all the “cool” away with him. If you are completely honest with yourself you’ll understand that historically Axl Rose has rarely sang decent live.

It was Izzy and Axl band. They started guns n roses. Alan Niven yes did get fired by axl eventually but he was with hnr from the beginning and nobody wanted to produce or manage guns cuz they were a handful. I totally believe what niven sayin here.i been following guns since 85 alot what is said is true here.
It tripped me out when I first watch that video from 2012 of Izzy's Baby Reign, I think it was called, you use it in the opening sequence, well I didnt have my glasses on and was tripped out, thought that was Axl on drums, lol. Great song still.
I remember Slash trash-talking Izzy's guitar playing in interviews back then, right after Izzy left and was replaced by Gilby Clarke: «too loose, not accurate, couldn't play some parts properly»... He was missing the point because Izzy wrote ALL their good songs!
Slash and Duff talked trash about Steven, it didn’t stop there, talked the same trash about Izzy, they soon got there just deserves when Axl conned them both into signing the bands rights over to him, in an interview Izzy said the sound of guns changed with they brought Sorum in, he didn’t take away that sorum was a good drummer, but he didn’t have the natural swing and sound of Steven, he understood why they fired Steven as they were already two yrs behind in releasing illusions albums, Axl was far from a friend of any of them, look what he tried to do or actually did to them, he bangs his band mates girlfriend, he tried to stop Steven from getting music residual from the first few albums, hence the court case, the list goes on.
He was/is the anti rock star. No interest in the machine that GNR became. I think he'd be fine living in his car and playing small clubs for the rest of his life. Music is his true passion.
G N' R Lies was the second studio album, and it went Platinum. Izzy wrote much of it and it contained Patience, which was a top 10 hit. Without Izzy, their sound became boring and they have not had a good original song, since his departure.
What a load of cobblers. Verses of Patience are nothing special. Chorus and outro both written by Axl are what elevated an ordinary acoustic ballad to what it became.
Well you got like three quarters of the facts correct not bad for a new channel. But a lot of the pictures like of guitars times dates managers what went down you can read the books and it's a totally different story than what you're saying so go figure
I tend to believe the story of the actual band members that were actually talented and actually generating the revenue that paid those managers that speak so poorly of them. If Alan would have done his job a little bit different he might still be with them but he didn't and I'm sure he blames that on somebody else.. where is he now?
He got tired of babysitting drug addicts who gave him nothing but headaches and decided it wasn’t worth it. Motley Crue’s mgmt cancelled a tour because he knew one of them would die from drugs. You have a guy trying to run a business and be profitable and a bunch of drug addicted high school dropouts that he is trying to keep alive. Crappy job. Genius and power hungry Axel fired him after the Use Your Illusion albums were done. He wouldn’t allow their release until they agreed to fire him. The rest of the band wanted him as manager but Axel got his way and the band totally imploded shortly after. Niven kept them together and others couldnt
@@flyingburritobro68 Niven didn't keep anything together. He thought he could boss Axl around like Jack Russell. When it became clear who was the boss and who bossed around whom, well, Niven didn't like it anymore. I'd have fired him too if I'd been Axl. He comes as very unpleasant and stupid despite having high opinion of himself.
Malcolm has the bigger body of work, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he was among Izzy’s biggest influences. Yeah, Mal did it before Izzy, but Izzy is up there with Mal. How many GREAT rhythm guitar players can you name? I bet these two make the same lists every time.

yes..i agree about that
Izzy was d co-founder of GN'R. Before he left & GN'R now owned by Axl.
Axl bought guns n roses name patent.
Steven didn't quit. He was fired.
No he wasnt
Izzy is great and his guitar style complimented slash so well. Always has the groove going. He always had a cool Keith Richards meets Johnny thunders vibe.

Keef + Thunders mix👌🏼, with a dash of Strummer..
No question in my mind that Izzy was the main component in the success of Guns. He's credited on all the great Guns songs.
y, i agree about that

Izzy was awesome he had a hand in writing most of there great songs. All of them actually
One of the best rhythm guitar player I've ever known

Always ome of my favorite guitarists. I love sitting there with headphones and listening to GnR knowing who is playing what.
Genius is a noun.
Ingenious is the adjective you were seeking.
Thank's for your correction, I really appreciate it.

Izzy you know your the bomb no one can ever take your place, Izzy baby your a multi talented king of rock I love you Izzy no one can take your place.
If Izzy Stradlin was a basketball player, he could play point guard, Center and forward as well. While in Guns and Roses, he was the most versatile member who made the biggest contribution to there success.
Izzy simply fucking rules.
I rather see Izzy live today 2022 the gnr 2022.
The true genius of GNR
After Izzy left GN'R did not have a single hit, Izzy contributed most of their hit songs. He is the core heart & soul of the band.
yes, that's a fact. thank's for watch this video

He is the brain of GnR
The invisible man of gnr.
Axl rose.
Why is Izzy playing with Paul Stanley at the opening of this video??
Not bad, keep pushing forward
thank's for watch this video.
The brains behind GNR
Izzy was great in GN'R, but the original lineup was the reason for success, not just one man. He was as messed up as the others
He was/is the anti rock star. No interest in the machine that GNR became. I think he'd be fine living in his car and playing small clubs for the rest of his life. Music is his true passion.
The Ju Ju hounds. Budapest club Sydney Australia.
G N' R Lies was the second studio album, and it went Platinum. Izzy wrote much of it and it contained Patience, which was a top 10 hit. Without Izzy, their sound became boring and they have not had a good original song, since his departure.

Juju hounds the best ✌️🤙👍🇦🇺
There are inaccuracies in this. It bothers me being an Izzy fan.
The AI voice needs work.
Guns n roses were never able to move on and record cause izzy was gone.
Hmmmm I really like the juju hounds .
Narrator sounds like robotics
Was he straddling something?
$365 in debt?

How many GREAT rhythm guitar players can you name? I bet these two make the same lists every time.
Was this video made with AI? Lol
Izzy > Gilby
they all played a part he is a rhythm guitarist . without everyone he is just a musician.
issy issy issy, get a job
Axl was/is Je$u$! Izzy was/is a fluffer.
Beavis and ButtHEAD?
Why didn't you just read the script? Could not have been worse than the computerised voice.
Genius? Really? So.... Where's his world wide recognized «oeuvre»? Yes, he was in Guns and Roses, an umbelievably overated band...
That wasnt Allan Niven, that was Jack Russell of Great White whom Allan also managed.
Dizzy Reed🤦🏽♂️
