La mia tesi :
Izzy interview from late 2001:
Didn't you listen to something of new Guns N' Roses?
No, I just saw a report on them in Q, in England. Axl called me when he had the plan to play Rock In Rio. I don't believe that he hoped to reform the group as a whole because I am the only one that he called, but, in any event, I declined the offer. Maybe he estimated that his group was not good enough, all the same they had rather positive reviews on the whole. I already had this album in preparation and I prefer to leave on the road with my group, I find everything I need there without problems that occur when you're with Axl...
Inoltre...
Da Popular Magazine 2001:
Is it true that you credited songs for the new Guns album, Chinese Democracy?
"In 95 Duff and me recorded songs for the band. We made a tape that went nowhere. Then, a couple of months ago I have a message on my answering machine: Yo! It's Axl, I need a copy of the songs that you did. There was one called "Down by the Ocean" or "Down by the Sea", they may have used it, I haven't come back to know nothing."
Praticamente, sul forum di heretodaygonetohell si sta discutendo circa vecchie interviste in cui Izzy sostiene di essere stato ricontattato più volte da Axl nel corso degli anni....nella prima in occasione del Rock in Rio, e lui ha declinato perchè impegnato col suo disco solista....nella seconda sostiene di aver scritto numerose canzoni nel '95 insieme a Duff per l'album che sarebbe dovuto uscire, e che Axl, dopo lo scioglimento, cercò di adire alle vie legali per avere i diritti su quelle canzoni... ....La mia idea è che Izzy non rientri definitivamente nella band, ma stia ricoprendo lo stesso ruolo di Paul Huge qualche anno fa, ovvero come coautore e compositore, vista l'insistenza di Axl nei suoi confronti...
