Music Review: Is this Stradlin's peak?
Rating: 5 Stars
When Izzy Stradlin' left Guns N' Roses, I really thought he would dissapear of the music world. I was so wrong... partially. Basically, Izzy left the mega band because his well known leak of fame and glory. That's the beginning of these new Stradlin's projects. Music as it is, no for selling records, just make good stuff. Music has turned into a garbage can due to all these ridiculous bands... but then we find this great artist.
This album takes the best of Izzy. Or maybe I'm wrong... I also like very much "Izzy Stradlin' and the Ju Ju Hounds" so I wouldn;t be able to say which one is better than the other. What a great guitar introduction on "Ain't it a bitch" a classical rock guitar, no those freaking and annoying guitars we can hear very often from those teenager bands. The album goes faster with "Memphis" still a great beginning, I'm loving this album so far... some soft as "Old Hat" and "Bleedin'" but then a drum announces "Parasite". "Here Before You" sounds like a masterpiece classic of rock and roll... what a song. "Up Jumped the Devil" is so nice too, I love that guitar! "Freight Train" reminded me GN'R's hit "Nightrain" but then I realized it was Izzy's style... unique. "Surf Roach" and "Grunt" sound quite cool for the musitians, well done folks!
So, in conclusion... if you're a teenager and looking for something that maybe you won;t remember in 5 years or you'll be able to tell, you are looking the wrong album. If you wanna listen to some REAL rock music and of course, good stuff... the music that makes rock and roll so cool, then try this one. You won't feel dissapointed. Remember the success of the GN'R? Well, I gotta remind you that Izzy Stradlin' was tha genius of that band, guitar player and the main composer... when he left, the band went down and we all know what happened.
Enjoy it.
Description of 117
Import edition of the ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist's 1998 album for Geffen. 14 tracks including, 'Ain't It a Bitch', 'Gotta Say' & 'Memphis' (Chuck Berry).Axl Rose sailed off into the operatic stratosphere. Slash sank down into the arena-metal mud. The only member of late supergroup Guns N' Roses to get it garage-rock right, in fact, was rhythm guitarist Stradlin, who hooked up with fellow riff worshipper Rick (Georgia Satellites) Richards for some of the best down 'n' dirty picking this side of Exile on Main Street. This sophomore release is sloppy, scratchy, and growling with gut-level blues-rock. Stradlin pays homage to longtime influence Ron Wood by aping his speedball cover of Chuck Berry's "Memphis." Naysayers may tut that Stradlin can't really sing too well. But that's exactly the point. He's singing anyway, naysayers be damned. --Tom Lanham
