Outiside of feverently believing in the philosophy of TuneCore – and also believing we are making a good positive difference in the world – the other very cool part is meeting and talking with a lot of artists, many of which I have listened to – and respected – for years.
I recently had the priviledge of speaking with Izzy Stradlin as Izzy had four albums he wanted in iTunes. He used TuneCore to deliver them.
For those of you who think you are not familiar with Izzy’s work, well, you probably are, you just don’t know you it. Izzy wrote (and played guitar on): “Patience”,”Used Ta Love Her”, “Brownstone”,”Think About You”,”You Could be Mine” and co wrote on all of the other Guns ‘N Roses hits like “Welcome to the Jungle”, “Paradise City”, “Right Next Door To Hell”, “Night Train”, “Don’t Cry” and more
Izzy was in Guns ‘N Roses until 1991. He played and co/wrote w/axl and the band on all of the music they put out from the 80`s through 1991.
Post GNR, Izzy released four solo albums (so for those of you out there that have been following his career this does not count the album with the Ju Ju Hounds) – Like a Dog, On Down the Road,River and Ride On. All are damn good.
And here I am talking to him on the phone learning about what it was like to be in one of the most important influential bands in the world and a thought occured to me – others would probably find this conversation very interesting as well. So I simply asked if Izzy would allow me to “interview” him for a TuneCore podcast. He said “yes”.
Which brings me to the point of this Blog posting – I figured there might be some questions some people might have that they would like me to ask Izzy for the second TuneCore podcast. If you do, post them here and I will make sure to get the good ones in.
