Not really though -- Slash is equally influenced by blues rock. He and Izzy just had a really dynamic chemistry that was hard to recreate. I would liken Izzy to Keith Richards though in terms of his rhythm playing and it definitely brought something special to the first few records.
@@MikaHakkinen83 dude, are you telling me that izzy wrote the solos of SCOM or November Rain? Are you on drugs? Izzy didn't make slash, SLASH made *himself* a legendary guitarrist.
@@marinadiamondz he wrote the songs is what I'm saying. Without him there wouldn't have been Appetite for Destruction or Guns n Roses as we know it. Or Slash.
@@MikaHakkinen83 And without slash or axl there would be no appetite for destruction either. Simply as that. just as they need izzy's skills, izzy needs them too to add that special something that these guys have. And I gave SCOM and November Rain as an example because they were both written by Axl, and those are the band's most known hits.
This man is my hero. He is my favorite member from gnr. He left the band cause he just got tired of the life in gnr ( all those drugs, alcohol and etc), and nothing stopped him on his way. He wrote lots of great songs, and I LIKE THEM much more, than gnr's songs... Izzy is a great man, really... I think HE deserves to be respected allover the world
@@GodloveszazaIzzy wants it that way. Besides the aforementioned drugs and alcohol, Izzy chose to leave because he didn't want the extreme level of fame GnR grew to. He's perfectly happy at the level he is. His words from several interviews, not my conjecture.
Izzy Stradlin's a rock and roll genius. Music's got soul, feel, guts, grit and overall excellence. Axl Rose seriously needed this dude with him if he ever wanted to stay relevant. We all know that didn't happen in the last 30 years though.
I hear New York dolls, rolling stones, flaming groovys and Georgia satellites. I like the blues rock groove they have going. I'm gonna have to check out more of their stuff
Got Izzy's first solo album Fall of '92, right after I got my first radio job, but got sidelined for a week (minor surgery). Must have listened to this CD a hundred times. This is the best song that the Stones, Faces and Black Crowes never wrote. Always been an Izzy fan. Raw, great vibe.
All of Izzy's solo stuff was so underrated. It think it was unfairly compared to Gn'R and it's nothing like anything he wrote for Gn'R. His more underground roots show much more, I get the feeling that Izzy wasn't influenced by the same stuff as the rest of Gn'R except maybe Duff McKagan. Izzy's solo stuff really shows his blues roots and the HEAVY influence of pre-punk like The Dolls/Johnny Thunders and MC5. He is such a great song writer and I think it's no coincidence that Guns hit a brick wall and fell off of the face of mattering musically after Izzy left. I mean god, Spaghetti Incident (all cover tunes) and the abomination that was Chinese Democracy...come on. Not to mention the ridiculous videos for Don't Cry/November Rain/Estranged...that wasn't rock n'roll and he saw that. Axl swimming with dolphins was miles away from You're Crazy, My Michelle, Reckless Life and Rocket Queen. Guns became overblown and started buying their own press, which took them outta' the realm of real rock n' roll that made them sound so fresh in 1987 when Appetite hit and they lumped themselves into the very bands that they over threw, i.e. Motley Crue. Izzy was the weapon that got no credit in Guns and they thought when he quit that it was no big loss, please!!! He was the only real, full on songwriter in the band. You can have all the great front men, singers, great guitarists and so on but to be a trully GREAT band, great songwriting is still the most important ingredient and Izzy was truly a GREAT songwriter. He was also the only one who wasn't constantly trying to keep their public image going with the press. He avoided the press where as Axl sought them out and that in itself says alot. And Slash did the same thing, I think Slash is just as big of a sell-out, press whore as Axl was, he just was more careful to make sure he came off like he DIDN'T seek the press and remain "cool". Izzy didn't talk until he was blue in the face to the press like Axl and Slash did and he wasn't into the stadium gigs and full orchestra and back up singers that the Illusion tour brought into Gn'R and I don't blame him. They were a rock band but became SOOooo pretentious with the 10 piece band and all....that wasn't what Izzy was about. He was real and was in it for THE MUSIC!!! All of Izzy's solo records reflects that and they are all great records. He threw away being in the biggest band in the world so he could hang onto his musical integrity and I have nothing but respect for the guy.
+Steve E You're wrong about a lot of things there. Izzy did share musical influences with the rest of the band. For example The Stones, Hanoi Rocks etc. The Spaghetti Incident had nothing to do with Izzy leaving. They started recording that stuff while on the road even when Izzy was still in the band. That record was just for fun. It was never meant to be serious. You're right about Izzy not really liking the big tours and videos and it's part of the reason why he left. A much bigger reason however was Slash and Duff's alcohol and drug addiction. Izzy had gotten clean and he couldn't stay sober in an environment where those guys were doing drugs and drinking all the time. Axl never did drugs like that. There were business reasons too. If you think the other band members thought Izzy leaving was no big loss you're massively mistaken. Axl tried desperately to change Izzy's mind. They had conversations that lasted for hours about it. Izzy wasn't the only songwriter in the band. Just because you appreciate his style of songs more than the others doesn't make them any less of a songwriter. Axl wrote Breakdown, Estranged, November Rain. Slash wrote Coma, Locomotive. Those songs are all amazing. Why should only one person be allowed to express themselves musically in a band? So called "rock purists" whine all day long about how Axl forced them to do these epic piano ballad songs and whatever. It's all bullshit. What? Shouldn't Axl be allowed to write the songs he wants to write? Izzy and Slash can write punk rock and hard rock songs all day long but Axl isn't allowed to write a few piano tunes because they're not rock n' roll enough? Give me a break. About public image in the press. Duff and Matt never cared about that and were never in the press much. And you're dead wrong about Axl trying to get himself in the press all the time. It was the exact opposite. Axl did everything he could to stay OUT of the press. After the Use Your Illusion tour ended, during the next 20 years he talked to the press maybe 3 to 5 times. He was a notorious recluse. Nobody ever saw him anywhere. Infact this is the reason most people still erroneously believe that the breakup was all on Axl. Because Axl never defended himself in the media. You're right though. Izzy was and is an amazing songwriter and was extremely important to the band's sound. Most people don't realize just how different Appetite For Destruction would have been if Izzy hadn't been in the band. To be honest, most Gn'R fans are utterly clueless about the band. They run around TH-cam commenting on videos and hating on Axl and think they know everything when in fact they know almost nothing about the band.

+mrsiCkstar Have you read Duff's book? Or Slash's? Slash goes out of his way to paint his book as "this is just the way i saw it, other opinions might differ" but between his view as well as Duff's Axl sounds like the real asshole in the situation. His personality most definitely made him a great frontman and songwriter but his egomaniacal control freak tendencies were also a huge factor in the demise of a once great band. I'd love to hear Axl's side of the story but based on what I've read from others in the band I'm quite amazed Duff and Slash stuck it out for as long as they did.
+SombraPiloto I haven't read Duff's book yet. I did read Slash's when it came out, in fact the book is on a shelf right next to me. Anyway, I'm not trying to say that Axl had no part in Gn'R breaking up. He definitely did. I'm just saying it wasn't as one sided as it has been made out in the press over the years. Reading Slash's book I could definitely see why he was frustrated at some of the things Axl did. But at the same time I could see all the things Slash did that would have frustrated the hell out of Axl. For example, when the band was in Chicago (or was it Boston?) to record UYI and they were waiting for Axl to show up. When he finally did, Slash decided to skip town and go on a heroin binge. Sure, Axl was late and made everyone wait, but then when work could have resumed, Slash went AWOL to do drugs instead. So both Axl and Slash did things that were not cool. They both contributed to the animosity between them. A lot of the things Axl gets blamed for were not his fault. People think including My World on UYI II was Axl's idea. That's wrong. People think Axl rejected Slash's music on It's 5 o'Clock Somewhere and then later wanted it. What actually happened was Axl liked a lot of it but thought it needed more work to get to Gn'R level. Slash didn't like that. He thought it was finished. Even Duff didn't think it was good enough to be the next Gn'R record but people always overlook that to blame it on Axl. People have a problem with Axl rejecting the Snakepit music but they don't have a problem with Slash essentially writing a whole Gn'R record by himself and then trying to force it on the band? And people call Axl a selfish control freak. Where is the consistency?
I just listened to this album for the first time this week (late August, 2024). I can’t believe it took be so long to hear it. What a great, clean rock and roll recording and mix. Super simple.
I remember when I first heard the intro to this song as a 12 year old, I thought it was the sound of Izzy drinking a milkshake down by the train tracks 😂. 💨
Todos en la banda tenian talento pero Axl sentía que los miembros dependian de el y cuando se separo la banda demostraron que no era si, izzy stradlin saco este album que es muy bueno de pies a cabeza, Slash, Duff y Matt crearon Velvet Revólver que es una banda exelente. Axl se quedo en un limbo y no a sacado nada bueno en años.
Izzy could play a guitar made from fishing line and a Kleenex box and still be the coolest rhythm guitarist on the planet. Effortlessly cool. Pure genius. Voice, looks 😍❤️🔥🤤, and talent. What he has cannot be taught. BIG FACTS. 🤷🏻♀️
Definitely a good song. Blues rock. Reminds me of Junkyard from 1990, I think they were from Texas, but this is really kick ass solid music I want to buy.
I bought it early 1993 when I finally had a ride into town, listened to it for a month before before going into basic training. I didn't know any of the lyrics but I knew all the songs so I made my own lyrics and sang them in my head during basic training just to keep from going insane.
@@salatielalves2952 merda né cada integrante é importante na banda....ex. bon jovi só dão atenção e credibilidade ao jon e o resto os outros tem mto talento tbem,tico,richie,david e o falecido Alec John Such.......mas ó foco é somente no john.bon jovi........eu gosto da banda mas acho isso um ponto negativo...... o falecido Alec
...SONG OF THE DAY!!! IZZY STRADLIN AND THE JU JU HOUNDS - TRAIN TRACKS (1992) Uno de los menos reconocidos por los fans, pero que llevo la guitarra rítmica durante los mejores 4 discos, y que al finalizar su periodo en GNR hasta 1991, decidió formar su propia bNd y nos entregó esta extraordinaria canción en la que recuerda sus "loqueras" cuando era más joven y que su reflexión será que SIEMPRE DEBEMOS DE CONTINUAR, APRENDER DE LAS "MALAS" EXPERIENCIAS DEL PASADO, MANTENER ESA BASE DE APRENDIZAJE, CAMBIAR EL "TELÓN DE FONDO". Pd. ESCUCHEN UNAS DE LAS MEJORES INTERPRETACIONES CON EL SLIDE A MI HUMILDE OPINIÓN. 🤘🏿ROLOTA🤘🏿
My brother bought this cd when it came out and hated, it so he gave it to me and I love it. I think he thought it was gonna sound like G-N-R but obviously it does not. I drank many a Budweiser to this song and cd. I don't drink anymore, but listening to this song sure makes me crave a brewski or two. Or three. Also love the sound of the bong at the beginning. that brings back memmories to. Wish this lineup were still together making good music like this. Izzy getting back to his roots with blues
Drunk and . . . Took a hit down by the train track I hear the whistle's song As . . . We made a big dash Really packed a killer A change of time Packed up and left Goodbye the train track You're lucky if I do We'll go west And get some big cash We're lookin' back to see the way Just keep a movin' You keep away I say You got to change your backdrop You got to keep a base Ten foot tall, lookin' up From the bottom of a beer glass It's too insane, in my blood My hand is showin' like a road map So I got on to catch a breeze I hated to go back But when I think of all those times I just love the highlife Just keep a rollin' Just keep a movin' I say You got to change your backdrop You got to keep a base I said, oh it's so clear Oh it's so clear Oh it's so clear Said, I said If you crawl to get on up You're gonna level and get there The feeling's gone And you better get cleaned up Start thinkin' of a new thing 'Cause now I see the other said I done paid back, yes I did This ain't livin' on a train track On a train track
This song reminds me a lot of Kickin My Heart Around by The Black Crowes which I believe came after this. The Robinson brothers have some explaining to do methinks.
Izzy wrote the majority of GNR's music (not lyrics) but music, I'm currently reading "Watch You Bleed" (GNR Biography). I wish I still had my Izzy CD "Shuffle It All". It was a great album, his solo stuff so makes me think of Keith Richards........
In the Hollywood neighborhood, Izzy was widely considered the coolest street gypsy in the rock scene. He was the only one that curried the favor of the locals with his jangly, Stones vibe. (That’s why Steven & Slash were so hot for him, he had cred with the hard-to-please L.A. locals, like them) In 1986 someone told me “Izzy’s the barometer of hip” … “he’s the most connected guy in Hollywood. He told me about a happy hour on the 10th floor of an office building at Sunset & Vine.” All I thought was “There’s a bar up there? How did he ever find it??” Thee original member who allowed Axl to join. The member with ultimate veto power. The first guy with a nose ring. The coolest name in the world. When the publishing got divided, on UYI, he happened to write the big hits. Skipped away, happy, with plenty of loot… and kept all of his self respect, not just a portion. That’s some legendary action.
My fave Izzy album. Why did the juju hounds split up? I'm not up to speed with his line-ups on other records. Assuming this was the only album made with that line up.
They were recording their 2 album and unexpected in the middle of it, Izzy left for vacations. They soon split because some additions: drummer (alcohol) and bassist (heroine).

Izzy brought the blues to Guns. They were never the same without him.
Not really though -- Slash is equally influenced by blues rock. He and Izzy just had a really dynamic chemistry that was hard to recreate. I would liken Izzy to Keith Richards though in terms of his rhythm playing and it definitely brought something special to the first few records.
@@johnulcer Izzy wrote their songs though, so without him there would never have been Slash as we know him.

Izzy Stradlin = Rock N' Roll
plus steven adler
There was nothing like the Appetite lineup... Perfect
So sad that the Ju Ju Hounds only released this one album …☹️
Listening during covid and realizing how freakin great his solo work is .
And several months later we're still in the middle of the biggest piece of psychological warfare in human history.
I wasn't ready for this album in '92, but this is where that sound from GNR went
I caught this tour in a small club way back when. Izzy plays with his soul.
JK1 this is absolutely true, he never got to play with this much soul in guns n roses.
@Philip Holmes Nope, no GnR. Songs from the new record, and some covers. Stones, Faces, Bo Diddley.
My favorite member of gnr.
JK1 what Stones songs did he play?
Snowblind I saw him in Indianapolis on this tour at The Vogue. The Stones song he played was Jiving Sister Fanny which he released on an import album😎
This man is my hero. He is my favorite member from gnr. He left the band cause he just got tired of the life in gnr ( all those drugs, alcohol and etc), and nothing stopped him on his way. He wrote lots of great songs, and I LIKE THEM much more, than gnr's songs... Izzy is a great man, really... I think HE deserves to be respected allover the world
He is the only educated musician in GNR. GNR was a spoilt criminal band of Axl Rose.
Izzys solo career is very mediocre.
@@GodloveszazaIzzy wants it that way. Besides the aforementioned drugs and alcohol, Izzy chose to leave because he didn't want the extreme level of fame GnR grew to. He's perfectly happy at the level he is.
His words from several interviews, not my conjecture.
Been listening to Izzy's songs lately.
Biggest influence on me as a guitar player (along with Malcolm Young). Thank you Izzy for showing some integrity as a musician during the 90s
Chalo Quintana...great drummer and really nice guy. Rest in peace Chalo.
Izzy Stradlin's a rock and roll genius. Music's got soul, feel, guts, grit and overall excellence. Axl Rose seriously needed this dude with him if he ever wanted to stay relevant. We all know that didn't happen in the last 30 years though.
I've been listening to this song since 1994 and I still love it just as much as I did then.
IZZY is a genius!!!
Sry, Rick Richards w/ his slide-guitar is the genius
Lawrence Valencia nah
@@Wurstfachbetrieb Not much different than Can't Stand The Pain from the Georgia Satellites...
same lead-guitarist ;-)
He does what he likes, I think not to be a genius
Hope Izzy is doing good. Cuz someone with this talent shouldn't stay under the darkness for a long time.
I hear New York dolls, rolling stones, flaming groovys and Georgia satellites. I like the blues rock groove they have going. I'm gonna have to check out more of their stuff
Got Izzy's first solo album Fall of '92, right after I got my first radio job, but got sidelined for a week (minor surgery). Must have listened to this CD a hundred times. This is the best song that the Stones, Faces and Black Crowes never wrote. Always been an Izzy fan. Raw, great vibe.

The Spaghetti Incident had nothing to do with Izzy leaving. They started recording that stuff while on the road even when Izzy was still in the band. That record was just for fun. It was never meant to be serious.
You're right about Izzy not really liking the big tours and videos and it's part of the reason why he left. A much bigger reason however was Slash and Duff's alcohol and drug addiction. Izzy had gotten clean and he couldn't stay sober in an environment where those guys were doing drugs and drinking all the time. Axl never did drugs like that. There were business reasons too.
If you think the other band members thought Izzy leaving was no big loss you're massively mistaken. Axl tried desperately to change Izzy's mind. They had conversations that lasted for hours about it.
Izzy wasn't the only songwriter in the band. Just because you appreciate his style of songs more than the others doesn't make them any less of a songwriter. Axl wrote Breakdown, Estranged, November Rain. Slash wrote Coma, Locomotive. Those songs are all amazing. Why should only one person be allowed to express themselves musically in a band? So called "rock purists" whine all day long about how Axl forced them to do these epic piano ballad songs and whatever. It's all bullshit. What? Shouldn't Axl be allowed to write the songs he wants to write? Izzy and Slash can write punk rock and hard rock songs all day long but Axl isn't allowed to write a few piano tunes because they're not rock n' roll enough? Give me a break.
About public image in the press. Duff and Matt never cared about that and were never in the press much. And you're dead wrong about Axl trying to get himself in the press all the time. It was the exact opposite. Axl did everything he could to stay OUT of the press. After the Use Your Illusion tour ended, during the next 20 years he talked to the press maybe 3 to 5 times. He was a notorious recluse. Nobody ever saw him anywhere. Infact this is the reason most people still erroneously believe that the breakup was all on Axl. Because Axl never defended himself in the media.
You're right though. Izzy was and is an amazing songwriter and was extremely important to the band's sound. Most people don't realize just how different Appetite For Destruction would have been if Izzy hadn't been in the band.
To be honest, most Gn'R fans are utterly clueless about the band. They run around TH-cam commenting on videos and hating on Axl and think they know everything when in fact they know almost nothing about the band.

A long time passed since the last time I heard this song, I still love it. Izzy is so cool, one of my favorite musicians.
The black crows wish they were this cool
Izzys N' Izzys
I remember when I first heard the intro to this song as a 12 year old, I thought it was the sound of Izzy drinking a milkshake down by the train tracks 😂. 💨
El gran cerebro de GN'R 💥
El cerebro es Axl
Lo amo, chao.
Los cinco lo eran, tenían buena química, después todo cambió.
Todos en la banda tenian talento pero Axl sentía que los miembros dependian de el y cuando se separo la banda demostraron que no era si, izzy stradlin saco este album que es muy bueno de pies a cabeza, Slash, Duff y Matt crearon Velvet Revólver que es una banda exelente. Axl se quedo en un limbo y no a sacado nada bueno en años.
Izzy could play a guitar made from fishing line and a Kleenex box and still be the coolest rhythm guitarist on the planet. Effortlessly cool. Pure genius.
Voice, looks 😍❤️🔥🤤, and talent.
What he has cannot be taught. BIG FACTS. 🤷🏻♀️
GREAT SONG, IZZY AND THE BAND ARE SHOWING AWESOME MUSICAL ABILITY, CHEERS, COUSIN FIGEL
I fucking love straight up raw American Rock'n'Roll... this is how it's done, tight with slide
grande izzy
Me encanta esta rola, no me canso de oirla
Definitely a good song. Blues rock. Reminds me of Junkyard from 1990, I think they were from Texas, but this is really kick ass solid music I want to buy.
Fun fact: On 1989 Geffen signed Junkyard as the next GNR, but soon they dropped. Great band too.
bought this CD in late '92, the week I had throat surgery...listened to it non-stop. This was as pure as the Stones and Faces, early 70s.
I bought it early 1993 when I finally had a ride into town, listened to it for a month before before going into basic training. I didn't know any of the lyrics but I knew all the songs so I made my own lyrics and sang them in my head during basic training just to keep from going insane.
The, "Prima Donna," pissed him off one too many times. Good on him!!! 👊👊👊 I've ALWAYS loved Izzy!!
Great song!! Best guitarist ever Especially from one of his greatest solo album ever made. Izzy is truly the best guitarist in my opinion.
OMG!!! I've never listened Izzy Singing like that.... THAT VOICE!!!!!
he is amazing!
Izzy is our generation z Ron wood gnr a joke without him gotta love rack Richard z more than steady line up never a dull moment!!!!
Ron Wood played with Izzy on this album
These guys learned the entire Rolling Stones 101 Manual! Killer dudes!
Love his beautiful eyes 😍
I'm celebrating the G & R "Where's Izzy" tour by playing Izzy all day.
Izzy era a criatividade em pessoa ❤
Sempre foi!!!! Ele é o autêntico Rhythm Guitar!
Verdade,pena que a maioria só vê o Guns como axl e slash.
@@salatielalves2952 merda né cada integrante é importante na banda....ex. bon jovi só dão atenção e credibilidade ao jon e o resto os outros tem mto talento tbem,tico,richie,david e o falecido Alec John Such.......mas ó foco é somente no john.bon jovi........eu gosto da banda mas acho isso um ponto negativo......
o falecido Alec
amazing izzy
We love you Izzy in Los Angeles! Make another record soon.
one of my fave tracks of all time!
Tenerle en GNR era una bendición. 😍❤
The intro is someone blowing bubbles into their chocolate milk, right? What?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just pure good ol rock n roll thanks Izzy
1st Time I heard this song I just Dug it and even more every time I heard it. Love the Slide in it.
Jamming with my first cup of coffee. Puts a strut in my walk.
IZZY RULES !!!
Simplemente PERFECTO, LO AMO
Like a Rolling Stones! Go Izzy 🔥🔥
Izzy is like Mike Ness of social D, true rock N roller, heart and soul...
...SONG OF THE DAY!!!
IZZY STRADLIN AND THE JU JU HOUNDS - TRAIN TRACKS (1992)
Uno de los menos reconocidos por los fans, pero que llevo la guitarra rítmica durante los mejores 4 discos, y que al finalizar su periodo en GNR hasta 1991, decidió formar su propia bNd y nos entregó esta extraordinaria canción en la que recuerda sus "loqueras" cuando era más joven y que su reflexión será que SIEMPRE DEBEMOS DE CONTINUAR, APRENDER DE LAS "MALAS" EXPERIENCIAS DEL PASADO, MANTENER ESA BASE DE APRENDIZAJE, CAMBIAR EL "TELÓN DE FONDO". Pd. ESCUCHEN UNAS DE LAS MEJORES INTERPRETACIONES CON EL SLIDE A MI HUMILDE OPINIÓN. 🤘🏿ROLOTA🤘🏿
My brother bought this cd when it came out and hated, it so he gave it to me and I love it. I think he thought it was gonna sound like G-N-R but obviously it does not. I drank many a Budweiser to this song and cd. I don't drink anymore, but listening to this song sure makes me crave a brewski or two. Or three. Also love the sound of the bong at the beginning. that brings back memmories to. Wish this lineup were still together making good music like this. Izzy getting back to his roots with blues
izzy rocks
Cool song, Izzy.... Real Rock and Roll
IZZY FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Izzy!!!
Izzy is my favorite! 💘
I will put this album up against any album ever made by any band ever @ anytime. It's That Damn Good!!!
Shit this is good! Damn, Izzy!
C'est le meilleur guitariste rythmique...comme j'aime !
izzy in pure rock n' roll..!! love it..!!
IZZY PLS MAKE TH-cam /VEVO CHANEL WITH MOST OF YOUR SONG. YOU ARE AMAZING MAN. !
Still here after all these years! 🤘
Drunk and . . .
Took a hit down by the train track
I hear the whistle's song
As . . .
We made a big dash
Really packed a killer
A change of time
Packed up and left
Goodbye the train track
You're lucky if I do
We'll go west
And get some big cash
We're lookin' back to see the way
Just keep a movin'
You keep away I say
You got to change your backdrop
You got to keep a base
Ten foot tall, lookin' up
From the bottom of a beer glass
It's too insane, in my blood
My hand is showin' like a road map
So I got on to catch a breeze
I hated to go back
But when I think of all those times
I just love the highlife
Just keep a rollin'
Just keep a movin' I say
You got to change your backdrop
You got to keep a base
I said, oh it's so clear
Oh it's so clear
Oh it's so clear
Said, I said
If you crawl to get on up
You're gonna level and get there
The feeling's gone
And you better get cleaned up
Start thinkin' of a new thing
'Cause now I see the other said
I done paid back, yes I did
This ain't livin' on a train track
On a train track
Максим Майами Lyrics are so similar in composition to AFD.

This is so wrong

izzy pieza clave de los guns
amo ouvir todas as suas músicas lindas e apaixonada eu sou pela sua orelha e voz você é perfeito lindo demais 💋💋💋
This guy is so fucking good I push this through my old school system (tubes) it's phenomenal
This song reminds me a lot of Kickin My Heart Around by The Black Crowes which I believe came after this. The Robinson brothers have some explaining to do methinks.
I thought the same.
Marc Ford, guitar for The Black Crowes played with Izzy on this album.
@@RockyStradlin Oh I wasn't aware of that! Thanks for that nugget of info bud.
Think Izzy might be a Stones fan? Rock solid rock n roll! Luv it!
Izzy wrote the majority of GNR's music (not lyrics) but music, I'm currently reading "Watch You Bleed" (GNR Biography). I wish I still had my Izzy CD "Shuffle It All". It was a great album, his solo stuff so makes me think of Keith Richards........
I love youu Izzy !
King "izzy" ❤✌
In the Hollywood neighborhood, Izzy was widely considered the coolest street gypsy in the rock scene. He was the only one that curried the favor of the locals with his jangly, Stones vibe. (That’s why Steven & Slash were so hot for him, he had cred with the hard-to-please L.A. locals, like them)
In 1986 someone told me “Izzy’s the barometer of hip” … “he’s the most connected guy in Hollywood. He told me about a happy hour on the 10th floor of an office building at Sunset & Vine.”
All I thought was “There’s a bar up there? How did he ever find it??”
Thee original member who allowed Axl to join.
The member with ultimate veto power.
The first guy with a nose ring.
The coolest name in the world.
When the publishing got divided, on UYI, he happened to write the big hits.
Skipped away, happy, with plenty of loot… and kept all of his self respect, not just a portion.
That’s some legendary action.
Izzy is our generation's Keith Richards
I can feel both Izzy's roots and GNR's roots.
IZZY IS FREAK'N AWESOME
EL MENTOR DE GNR, MIS RESPETOS SALUDOS DESDE BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA
Haven't heard this song in a long time.
This is gold
My fave Izzy album. Why did the juju hounds split up? I'm not up to speed with his line-ups on other records. Assuming this was the only album made with that line up.
They were recording their 2 album and unexpected in the middle of it, Izzy left for vacations. They soon split because some additions: drummer (alcohol) and bassist (heroine).
01-26-2020, still listening to Izzy!
i love you izzyyy
just checking lately all the gnr solo works. god knows what kind of records they 'd have made still...
rock n roll to the core
Você é lindo todos te ama muito sua voz é linda e você é feliz sempre sou sua fã amo suas músicas sempre .
What a great song
Izzy 🔥🔥🔥
