Izzy asked me to do him a favor and sort of get this out for him. Izzy don't Tweet, etc.

Thanks.

Izzy's Statement:

I have waited up to this point to see what would become of the GNR induction into RRHOF. I would like to say THANK YOU and GRACIAS to RRHOF for the acknowledgement of our works over the years as a band. BIG THANKS to all my bandmates who helped get us to where we are today. And, of course, THANK YOU to all of the people on this planet (including, but not limited to, the entire universe and beyond, etc., etc., etc.) who have supported Guns N' Roses from day one. Adios, Amigos!

Izzy Stradlin

LONG LIVE ROCK N ROLL!

That's the way it's done. Simple, to the point and gracious. No harm, no foul.

Izzy is a class act, no doubt.

Wrong thread.

Everything necessary said.

It's an old song. One of the first they wrote as a band.

Does this mean Izzy did think about turning up at the ceremony IF he'd been asked to perform with the original line-up or what is he telling us?

[GNRFAN96]

FINALLY he speaks!!

My thoughts exactly. In some weird way, I believe he did. Actually, he sounds more excited and grateful about the HOF thing than any other member did.

Id like to think Izzy would have fronted and played if Axl was going to do the same-look back to Axl and Izzy singing "salt of the earth" with the Stones...that probably meant more to them than being inducted into the RNRHOF though 

Id also like to think that the man known as Izzy Stradlin actually appreciates the induction/award or whatever it is, because his music really does mean a lot to so many people.

How many kids were concieved to Dont Cry, just as an example?
