rocknroll41 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Yeah I noticed most of these as well lol. Del James' Without You story also seems to have some prophetic statements IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooker Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 If everyone is honest about how the band viewed themselves back then, no one expected the band to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netcat Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) also Izzy predicted it will take Axl 14 years to release CD btw did he say anything about CD2? Edited September 4, 2013 by netcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One.In.A.Million Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) My favourite vocal line is from Street Of Dreams. "No matter how long this road seems, I know it's called the street of dreams"... Beautiful!!!...

liers Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) I think Izzy knew GnR was going to fall apart and become a joke. I think that's why he left, he didn't want to get in the middle and have to chose axl's side or slash's side.Prostitute kind of has some prophetic lyrics too."If my intentions are miss understood" Edited September 4, 2013 by liers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say he's barely hanging on right now, whereas he could be sitting on top of the world like the Stones are. To me hanging on doesn't count as "worked too hard for my illusions just to throw them all away". There's been so many lost opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i'd thought of the cane and that line and that it could signify that he's in love again, now with that new girl (pictured when he was looking badass carrying the beer).
