| Izzy
in or Izzy Out? |
antiMusic reports: Europeans supposedly hate
us Yanks but American Guns N' Roses fans are hating Euro fans right about
now with Axl and company playing all over hell and gone across the pond
this summer and that jealousy may get worse. There is a chance that original
GNR guitarist Izzy Stradlin may play with the band in Europe. Izzy pleased
New York City fans when he jumped up on stage during the final show of
GNR's four night "warm-up" stint and performed three songs with the band
(the first time Axl and Izzy had played together in 13 years). Shortly
after that happened, rumors started flying that Izzy might join the band
on stage in Europe this summer. Izzy being the man of honor that he is
and not wanting to leave fans hanging has put those rumors to rest
. But
left the door open (he still has the GNR spirit). Izzy posted the following
message on his official website: "I don't have any concrete plans at this
moment to join them in Europe but I will let you know if it changes. Please
let people know nothing is confirmed at this point for Europe. NY was pretty
cool." - Click

total kidney failure that I thought was a few months away has already happened.
I am extremely disappointed with this situation, but there is nothing I
can do. I wish the guys in Nevermore all the best and hope that as many
of you fans as possible give them your support in Europe." We here at antiMusic
