Guns N Roses - My Michelle (Only the left channel)

Here’s the “Izzy” side.

I still believe Izzy was the truest weapon in this whole band. He gets songwriting credit on a large number of their songs, and beyond that, his guitar tone and style was the perfect support for Slash.

The only other dual-guitar combo that I can think of that even comes close to these two guys is AC/DC’s Malcom and Angus Young.

(George and John? *snore* Ron and Keith? *snore*)

High-res A dream of mine is to be able to hear the raw multitracks of all of Appetite.  There is so much incredible guitar on that album - from Slash and from Izzy. I often listen to the album straight through on only the left channel, and then listen again to only the right channel.  Then sometimes I’ll do L/R one song at a time.  95% of the guitars are hard-panned L/R and so it really helps to clarify what Slash and Izzy were playing. It’s a really refreshing (and rewarding) way in which to listen to your favorite albums.

“Slash Turned Down Millions For Guns N’ Roses Reunion”

As Slash prepares for the arrival of his star-studded solo album, due in April, in a new interview with GQ magazine the guitarist revealed he has turned down tens of millions of dollars to reunite with Guns N’ Roses. “I can’t remember exact numbers, but [the offers have been] excessive,” he said. “Seven, eight-digit kinds of things.”

My bold prediction: Slash’s forthcoming solo album will eventually outsell Chinese Democracy.

I’d never make that bet, but I think it’s certainly possible over the course of a few years.

For the Love of God, Someone Please Tell Axl Where We Go Now

(The stinky pits breakdown from Guns N’ Roses “Sweet Child O’ Mine”)

If you’re a drummer, you may recognize at least six different LP (Latin Percussion) blocks put to use by Steven Adler for this SongPart, amid Slash’s “noodling” and Duff McKagan’s “heroin use”.

Price: $.15

If SongParts were wikipedia, I’d be editing that to say Duff was an alcoholic, not a junkie.  It’s more like “Where does SongParts go for its information.” AMIRITE?
