#IzzyStradlin #TheTapesArchive - Розваги
God, Izzy’s voice. Like whisky and honey. I could listen to him talk forever. 😍
I have always wanted to know, and from everything i have read or heard, no one knows this for sure - was he actually born in indiana or florida? was he born in indiana, then moved to florida and lived there for a while and then moved back to indiana? or was he born down in florida and then moved up to indiana later? i ask because i wonder about his voice. sounds a little different than axl's and i wonder if it is the growing up in florida. i'm from georgia and i feel like i hear something a little florida in it. (whatever the case, it turns me on, too!)
@@eastcoastmonkey I THINK he was born in Lafayette, but the family lived for a short time in Florida (when he was little) until his parents split and then he moved with his mom back to Indiana. Then of course, spent his teenage years there. Building that Izzaxl foundation, lol. I’d have to double check with google or Wikipedia, but I think that’s what I remember reading about his childhood before.
@@FrostbiteBaby Yeah, I know Wikipedia says he was born in LaFayette, but I had read in other places where it said they didn't know for sure if it was Florida or LaFayette. I had heard Izzy say I grew up in Florida and then me, my mom and brothers moved to Indiana. I thought maybe that is when his parents divorced too. Not totally sure but seems likely. With Wiki lately, I have seen a lot of mistakes. That is the only reason I wonder about them lately. I was trying to write something the other day and my friend told me to only use wiki for the sources at the bottom and look those up, and that is when I realized how much of their page is not cited right now! I would go in and try to correct it, but man, just takes a lot of time, you know?! I have other projects right now, so can't deal with that, lol. But I have added or corrected a few things in there before. But thanks! (Yeah, I feel horrible saying it on here because I know he's married! But Izzy totally does it for me! She's a lucky woman, ha!)
Really nice interview! There is a very interesting quote on it where Izzy says "I've always loved touring" and that goes against what Axl Rose has been saying for the last 30 years about Izzy. It's good to hear straight from him!
I found that interesting as well. To me, Izzy was kind of the soul of GnR.
@@TheTapesArchive agree 100% with you here! After he left the band became a souless parody of itself and hasn't recovered to this day...
@@ludurigan Thats why GN'R had the biggest selling tour of the year with The Not In This Lifetime Tour huh? They moved into the 2nd Biggest Tour of All Time by ANYONE !! Yes I agree that Izzy was the soul of Guns N' Roses but he did not by no means slow or hinder that bands success in anyway! He and Slash sounded amazing together but I think they lost alot more when they fired Steven Adler bcz he had that certain drum groove a swagger and sound that made Appetite For Destruction so damn brilliant a record! They was nothing better to me than the Original 5 guys that made that record and became huge!! Noone can replace that magic for real but I can't agree with u that it destroyed the band. Axl, God bless him, destroyed Gn'R by becoming a dictator, forcing Duff & Slash to sign over their rights to the name of the band, and by wanting to start a whole a new version of Guns N' Roses and Slash and Duff could sign a contact to stay in the band and pretty much be reduced to hired guns if they wanted ya know? Axl had a vision for the new record, an industrial type direction, and he tried & tried to pull Slash into going that direction but Slash said he wanted to make another simple rock record and finally had all he could take of Axl by 1996 and quit the band. Then Duff, who's pancreas had already exploded and he almost died, left the band in 1998 leaving Axl the last original member of GN'R. I do believe that Axl had alot harder time making a record without Izzy's great songwriting help I've always thought that but in the end he did, FINALLY get Chinese Democracy released in 2008 but that's the only album they've done since Illusion records. As far as touring goes Axl Rose, with a whole new lineup, has managed to keep Guns N' Roses Selling Out Arenas and some Stadiums all over the World every since he returned to Touring almost every year since 2006. He played a few shows in 2001-2002.. after being a recluse for almost 9yrs..one being a Sold Out Show at Madison Square Garden that Sold Out in 10 minutes! Think about that a second. How many bands or artist that u know that could Sell Out any arena with no new album and who has been damn near invisible 9yrs, without any of the other Original Members??? I sure as hell can't think of any. But Axl Rose can and he did and today I just thank God that Duff got those 3 back together and Axl has mellowed out soo much!! They have been kicking ass on tour every since they announced they was back together and gonna play Coachella and then tour they haven't been very many months off the road for them since April 2016, 4yrs pretty much!!! Damn the last 4yrs have flew by. I just pray they make a New Guns N' Roses Album and I pray that Axl has a want in his heart to write and play with Izzy Stradlin again bcz it's something I want more than anything is to see Izzy back up there with the guys !! 😀 Adler proved that he could still play drums with them when he done done some special guest appearances but can u imagine what a new album from those Original 5 would sound like ?? You would think that those 5 fuckers would be curious to find out if they could recapture some of that magic on a 2nd GN'R. Don't pay me no attention @ludurigan I've just been those 5 guys....and that bands, #1FanInTheWorld #GnFnRs! #GnRForever #GOAT
@@TheTapesArchive THANK YOU !!! 😀 I love Izzy and that's the truth, Izzy Stradlin is the soul of Guns N' Roses and I found this interview to be awesome! Can't thank you enough for posting it but I also wanted to ask how long have you been sitting on the interview and not sharing it with the world? I can't help wondering how many gre I cd fred
@@tommydewayneisaacs2739 glad to read your reply. The "biggest selling tour of all time" argument does not work for me. Justin Bieber and Britney Spears also sell tours like hot water in the desert -- that don't make them any good to me. U2 makes millions of dollars on tours as well. I find them annoying. Agree 100% on the Steven Adler argument, when they fired him they lost a lot. BUT when Izzy left, well, that was the end for me. I am not sure you know that Axl behavior was likely the main reason Izzy left, I guess you know that. It was because of Axl again that Slash and Duff left a few years later. Axl "vision"? What "vision"? If the result of his "vision" is that crap Chinese Democracy album, then Axl better "buy himself a cane" as he sang on Locomotive. Oh and this new fake version of GNR is not kicking ass by no means on this fake reunion tour. Axl can barely sing, in fact his voice is truly annoying to me since 2001, and his new fake version of GN'R sounds like a mess. An original album by the GNR guys would be excellent. If Axl had any "vision" worthy being called "vision", he would do as you said: write and play with izzy and steven again. Hey, its great talking to someone who knows so much and is so passionate about GNR like i am, thanks again for your reply mate
Always a favourite of mine. Such an elusive guy. You could sense he didn’t really want to commit to a follow up interview.
funny how I thought the exact opposite, I felt like he would have no problem doing that
ludurigan you would think that at face value but he’s a different cat
@@simongunner5327 care to elaborate?
-he left-
Thanks man .. Nice to hear this. Izzy was GNR
I have never heard him speak this much in my life. He seems cool.
The interviewer trying so hard to get some shit on Axl from Izzy is hilarious
"Oh, come on. Let's go, next song, next song." I don't know why that hits me so funny.
The interviewer cleary didn't like Axl and Izzy wasn't having it. Izzy and Axl were still boys from Indiana together.It's like when you insult a family member. Izzy can slag off Axl because it's his brother, but didn't answer really when the interviewer started to.
Respect Izzy. Respect.
Have you see the fax Axl sent Marc he interviewer? www.thetapesarchive.com/axl-rose-fax/
@@TheTapesArchive Yeah, Axl was petulant. The interviewer was still a wimp and I’m proud Izzy didn’t take the bait.
@@jamesbruss84 FYI Marc Allan was a Heavy Weight Golden Glove champ and was a UFC finalist back in 1992. Not sure you could call him a wimp. I mean you could, but I wouldn't.
Yeah, he said, what's the matter with that guy? And Izzy said, who? I thought that was cool. He knew who he was talking about. Yeah, he didn't take the bait. And it's funny, cause a lot of the people on here think Izzy talked bad about Axl in this interview, but I don't really think he threw him under the bus. I think he just felt the need to explain why he left. Like he had to justify it to people. I don't think he felt good about leaving and I think he even felt a little guilty about it.
17:12 Oh my God I laughed my ass off during that part.....Izzy is so damn cool!!!! I mean, he's the best. So, mystery solved! I always wanted to know that.
IMO GnR has not been the same without Izzy.
what album was reviewed in 93.
I think I have Ju Ju Hounds and the one with Pressure Drop on it.
Great interview. Wish there were more
have you seen that a night in the jungle tape? the one where mtv went to florida and did the interview with the guys backstage? they never showed it on mtv but you can see it on here. anyway! it makes me so mad because izzy was in a totally up mood and trying to talk a lot and every time he would start to talk the interviewer would take the mic away from him and go, do you have anything to say slash? do you have anything to say, axl? it was like let izzy talk! we never got to hear from him and had that opportunity and he took it away from us, lol! he had no idea how cool izzy was and should have let him talk. sometimes i think he held back a lot, cause axl talked so much he just felt like, i won't even try to compete with that, lol. then again, that interviewer from mtv probably ruined it. from them on izzy decided he was done trying to get any words out ... lol 😆
Izzy is a legend & one of the coolest figures in Rock History
GnR has not been the same since he left. IMO he was the soul of that band.

Omg that was funny
I am so proud of him expressing himself with no fucks to give.
🗣 *Saw Izzy back in 92’ @ the ‘Town & Country’ club in North London when he dropped his cover of ‘Pressure drop.’*
*Tremendous!* 🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
sooo jealous i bet he was gorgeous i wish i was alive at that time
Saw G&R in Hampton, VA right before Illusions were released Izzy stepped to the mic and played "14 Years" and "Dust & Bones" and I was blown away while Axl shook a tambourine and helped with back up vocals on the choruses Izzy just got fried on the madness of G&R at that point and had to leave the band for his sanity and his overall health (life) but he's always been a chill, lowkey kind of guy Great interview 🤘
I always found that to be fascinating. On one hand you had Axl being well known to be an egomaniac. And yet, there's a bunch of songs he was willing to not sing on. Given they already had Dizzy on keyboard when playing live, this didn't give Axl a whole lot to do in those songs but play some tambourine. To me, that shows Axl's personality was far from black and white. He still wanted to be a member of a rock band (at least at the time), not a glorified solo show.
@@OldAussieAds well I wouldn't say "a bunch of songs" just those 2 but Axl at that time was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was even on Lithium at one point the concert I referred to was awesome but Axl between songs kept going on tirades about it was his job to be a rockstar and make paychecks happen blah blah blah I Love their music and glad he made it through and still here performing
@@thomasbailey3511 Off the top of my head there was 14 Years, Dust N' Bones, Double Talkin' Jive, So Fine, Attitude, New Rose, You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory and I Don't Care About You. Obviously not just Izzy songs.
If you want to remove the Spaghetti Incident songs because the time period we're talking could have been before it's release, that's fine, but you can't remove Attitude as it was a UYI tour staple.
@@OldAussieAds Attitude is a dime ounk tune that Duff drunkenly slurred(sang) the rest of those songs are sung by Axl
@@OldAussieAds dumb punk song "Attitude"
Seeing all this Indiana attention in this vid is amazing since I live in Indiana
Welcome fellow Hoosier!
@@TheTapesArchive hello and thank you
The unsung hero of old GNR
Cool interview. Thanks for sharing. If I ever have a son, I will name him Izzy. I may have to tell my old lady that Izzy was the name of my grandfather, the war hero, but I'll do it.
Thank you! Love the name Izzy!
What a great channel!
Thank you!!
Awesome
Hahahahhaha oh my gosh! I just read the love letter from Axl Rose lol. That was hilarious about the fork part lmaoo
Knew about him doing the guide vox in Gn'R rehearsals. Some of that might be on tape.
Cool interview. Was there a second chance in Lafayette?
i would love to have professional recordings of those rehearsals with izzy doing guide vocals on every song, that should be brilliant to listen to
@@marcallan9930 Awe shit that sucks! A second interview of you guys driving & walking around Lafayette checking out places Izzy (and Axl too I guess) hung out and stuff would of been awesome! Got some footage of u two riding dirt bikes & shooting Izzy's guns would of been some cool shit too! Sorry it didn't get to work out that way for you guys ~ Tommy D.
@Marc Allan No problem, this is uber cool. He sounds candid and love how mentions his pop a couple of times.
@ludurigan right on. Maybe Robert John filmed some or Marc Canter.
@@Papatorrejano i am sure they did... video would be brilliant but i would be 100% satisfied with audio!
I wish he’d just say he wanted to put his recovery first and couldn’t handle it in the band. There’s no shame in that
hmmm ... i agree that was a big part of it, but i think there was a lot more to it. i mean, it also boils down to the rest of the guys were drinking and using (not axl, i know) and he had no one to hang out with or play guitars and write music with anymore like he used to. they didn't want to. the music took a backseat to the drugs for them. i love all those guys, but it became just going on stage and performing but not hanging out and creating like they used to and he wanted to collaborate and create. i think had they not used or drank every day maybe he could have hung out with them some and done some of that. but it was all the time. and axl had started pushing him away so he didn't have anyone to hang with anymore and it just felt like going through the motions but not having anyone to hang with and not feeling like he had a place anymore. i just don't think it was only getting and staying clean. it was also axl and worrying about riots and not wanting to sit around for hours waiting for axl to show up or want to go on. feeling bad doing that to the fans. worrying about him walking off stage and is he going to come back? i mean, when you are sitting there waiting for you singer to start singing again, you are just standing there doing nothing. that is boring and frustrating. if he was able to drink before the show while he was waiting forever it would have been easier, but he couldn't, and he even asked the other guys if they wanted to learn a cover song in case axl walked off stage to play while they waited for him to come back and they didn't want to. it was just a lot more. love axl to death, so nothing against him. but that's just the way it was then. and he gets that now. i mean, axl always has been honest and open about everything, so why can't izzy?
So what happened with the follow-up interview???
Izzy and Duff are the coolest mfrs ever
How have these not been heard before ? Weren't they for a radio show or something ?
This explains it pretty well. Thanks for checking us out. ua-cam.com/video/3GSeDQ98xRQ/v-deo.html
The Juju Hounds were really good.
17:13 lmao
Wait What?
Erasing my comment doesn't make it go away.
Dude. We can give two shits what anyone says. No one deleted your comment. But UA-cam does censor comments.
Funny gnr never released another another album once izzy left .. kinda makes ya wonder .. 🤔🤔
They’ve released albums since Izzy left. Not as good but…
@@TheTapesArchive name one ... Spaghetti incident was a cover album .. and Chinese democracy was a Axl Rose solo album
@@TheTapesArchive if theres a hiddem GnR album ive missed over the years let me kno .. i was in a coma for few months
@@amp2425 😆
Is this really from 1993? Was he married in 1993? He says he had a wife....
Good question! The article Marc wrote came out in Feb93. I guess it is possible that they recorded this at the end of 1992. You can see his article www.thetapesarchive.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Izzy-Stradlin-article-written-by-Marc-Allan2-scaled.jpg
He didnt get married till 1995 ,but he referred to Annica as his wife during that time .. i think they were engaged
Loved that album. Had tickets to see them in Detroit but was jailed on an old warrant a few days before the show. I gave the tickets to some friends that said the show was great, we’re all big Rolling Stones fans and they did a couple really deep cuts from the band. On a different note I’ve never understood the point of Indiana. Such a boring drive thru state. There’s nothing there, Ohio has the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Cedar Point, Illinois has Chicago, Indiana…nothing
why were you jailed ?
Imo if you’re going to be a “music critic “, you better be proficient on at least one instrument, at least
Have you heard Marc Allan play the bass? One of the best!
@@TheTapesArchive boxer, bassist, interviewer, this Marc Allan guy does it all. He could play bass in your band, bash unruly security staff, and then interview the band including himself after the show 😉
@@somewhatsomething4882 Hahah and I make stuff up..
3 minutes of bullshit before the interview starts. Fast forward.
We literally give the timestamp of when the interview starts in the description. But we apologize and offer you a complete refund. Where should we send the check?
@@TheTapesArchive oh, get over it - LOL! It was a good interview. I'm just sayin' :)
@@TheRamsesII how do you get through day-to-day life?
@@stevengallant6363 You're a twit not worth the bandwidth. So, congrats: you got a reply.
Interviewer sounds like a prejudice narrow minded fanboy.
Man, if you only knew how wrong you are.
@@TheTapesArchive I appreciate you defending your video but you can not tell me how I should feel after listening to this interview. If my impression was that of the interviewer being a starstruck amateur trying to take his pound of flesh from an individual (Axl) that was not even taking part in this conversation, then that's my opinion. It sounded like he had an agenda in which he tried getting Izzy to side with on multiple occasions. That's based on no prior experience of his work as a journalist. He may have a mantle full of Pulitzers for all I know. To me he came across as an overeager, boot licking, biased homer. ie, "hey man, can I come by your house or maybe we can drive around for a while"? I'm curious to see if any such follow-up interview took place that week or two later.
For you to condemn my personal or any other individuals interpretation of anything they experience just because it's different than yours is as much troubling as it is humorous especially If you consider yourself to be a journalist.
@@thegoonge wow ur panties got in a bunch .. ur criticism of marc is exactly what ur doing .. only for axl... Not everyone is going to like everyone in music business or any kind of entertainment business .. the fax Axl sent was totally unprofessional... Axl had a habit of being a douche to everyone.. even his fans who sometimes had to wait hours for him to show up .. you dont like the jornalist , dont listen to it
So he never said a word as a junky in gnr...could not take the pressure I get it but you got to talk trash as if you were able to manage it ? (Dude you chose to bail out, fine...you ran all your life -drugs, booze...so just go live your lige and stop blamming other people!!)
True words
"Once there was this rock n roll band rolling on the streets, time went by and it became a joke, we just needed more and more fulfilling, time went by and it all went up in smoke, but... Check it out"
He told duff and slash that they should do a club tour to promote the illusion’s albums lol
he talked. matter of fact, that really cool 'a night in the jungle' short that mtv never aired - he was really talkative on that and every time he was trying to talk the guy would take the mic out of his face and go, slash, do you have anything to say? axl, do you have anything to say? maybe he figured they would rather hear from the lead singer anyway. i also think he knew axl liked to talk so he let him have the spotlight in that aspect. heck, i love axl, but there were times when slash tried to talk and couldn't get a word in, lol. axl was a talker and enjoyed it, so izzy let him. and what's more important? writing or talking anyway? go look at some pics of izzy and he had a guitar in his hand a lot of the time when the others didn't. cause he was into the music and wanted to work on stuff. sometimes talk is cheap. what does it matter if he talked a lot or not? just don't really get that. and i didn't think he was blaming everyone else either. i think he felt the need to explain why he left sometimes. not to mention people would ask him. it's not like slash, duff and matt didn't eventually leave too. and yeah, a lot of people talk more when they are no longer strung out on heroin, lol. i mean, it's easier to talk when you're doing speedballs and coke, lol.
