It was izzy without a shadow of doubt and you can literally see him performing with GNR at the Rio, Indiana and St. Louis (in '91) where they played tons of UYU 1 and 2 stuff including coma

Well considering that Izzy Straddlin is in the band photo in the album sleeve I don't know why people are confused. I guess people don't have the physical media like they use to. Only thing Gilby ever did was play on Spaghetti. He's not even on the sympathy for the devil remake

Mostly half of the songs are or Izzy’s or “co-written” by him. 6 songs are 100% Izzy’s, Dust N’ Bones, You Ain’t the First, Bad Obsession, Double Talkin’ Jive, 14 Years and Pretty Tied Up, he appears as if he had co-written two of this songs (Dust N’ Bones and 14 Years) only because other members contributed with some minor things to them. 3 songs are a collaboration between Izzy and Axl, been Right Next Door to Hell mostly Axl’s and Don’t Cry, and You Could Be Mine mostly Izzy’s. 1 song (Perfect Crime) was a collab between those two but with some Slash’ input and finally Izzy had some minor input on Bad Apples. This adds up to a total of 12 songs of 30 because Don’t Cry appears twice. For the other songs, 8 where 100% Axl’s, 7 a collab between Axl and Slash, 2 covers and 1 from Duff’s, so Matt isn’ wrong in this video.

And that’s why we have that saying “where’s izzy?” Because he contributed to more than some fans realize. Hell, axl even went looking for izzy when he left Indiana

When was this ever questioned? The booklets for UYI I and II credit every musician and writer for every individual song. Not to mention all the photos in the booklets. There's only Izzy. There is and would be no mention of Gilby until The Spaghetti Incident. Gilby was in most of the music videos because Izzy left shortly after the albums came out is all.

Izzy is GnR brains…. He not just playing, he is composser…

FFS look at the song credits and read the bios instead of falsely believing Izzy wrote everything. FYI Slash wrote paradise city, locomotive, rocket queen, welcome to the jungle, coma, don't damn me, civil war. Axl November rain and estranged. Duff it's so easy and so fine.

Too mellow and why have him singing when you’ve got one of the greatest frontmen of all time in your band? It worked to have him sing just one or two songs as it contrasts with the firepower of Axl but the band would not be the same if Izzy was singing. I mean, c’mon

Izzy was a big part of GnR.

Most of izzy guitars are almost impossible to be heard on UYI

@@nightowlrecordingstudio6437 Every band sits in on the mix, if not then you are a fool. No band gives full control of their work to a sound engineer and a producer, he's an advisor at best. Izzy probably wasn't there, because he already knew how it would go down. More arguments take place mixing, than recording, that's a certainty.

@@lastpenny849 Mike Clink, and Bill Price handled the production and mixing this album. They would not have let Slash say “turn me up” and get away with it, if it sounded shitty. I think the albums have a great mix, but I’ve listened to them so many times it’s become the “sound of the albums” Also Slash mentions in his book how messed up chemically he was during this time, and how he preferred a previous mix with louder, uncompressed guitars, but Bill Price compressed and polished the final mix meticulously. As far as band members go, Axl had more to say about the mix as he was in better mental capacity at the time. He was the only one to call in mix ideas everyday as they were fine tuning the mix

Que mala pregunta

Is this why the records aren’t as good without me straddlin

Pretty uninformed interviewer tbh! 😬
