The original post was why the latest offering from Axel rose was way over budget and late.

I simply posted a reply to make it known that Izz wrote all of the classic songs featured on appetite and UYI I and II, and this was probably a contributing factor as to why the new release was late. No Izz no decent songs...

While I agree with you that slash made a significant contribution to the sound of GnR without the songs there would be no GnR.. This could be seen clearly after izzy left and they released the "spaghetti incident" Slash had a contribution on that album but it was no where near as sucessfull as UYI or appetite.

If I am not mistaken Axel wanted to use some of Jeffs other material prior to spaghetti and it nearly happened except for a demand from the Rose camp that he be credited with part writing some of the material, at that point Izzy simply said no and took the material with him.. Again don't quote me but I recall my brother mentioning something like this to me a few years ago...

Peace

DD
