Izzy Stradlin's (untitled and unreleased) solo LP with Slash and Duff McKagan

To:  Izzy Stradlin, Slash and Duff McKagan

Izzy Stradlin, Slash and Duff McKagan haven't released togheter an album (or a song) since the Use Your Illusion albums in 1991, when Izzy left the Guns N' Roses...
In November and December 2001 (after a decade), Izzy Stradlin, Slash and Duff McKagan collaborate toward a new Izzy's solo LP again.
After four years, the LP is still untitled and there is no target release date, so here the petition to release it!

In an interview of MTV (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1451906/20020124/story.jhtml) published on January 2002, Slash said :
"The thing with Izzy's [solo] record, is that I got involved with him because we talk on the phone a lot, and he's just always doing these anonymous projects in his own quiet little fashion. It's just nice to get together and write again."
And he continued: "We got together to work on songs, and they sound like Izzy, like Izzy and Slash, so they're easy to recognize that way. They have a sense of humor about them, but they're loose and laid back. They're not heavy-duty, arrangement-oriented songs. They're just basic ideas that we thought were cool, so we threw it down."

Slash said that he wrote and recorded a total of five songs with Izzy Stradlin in November 2001, but the songs still required about a day's worth of "fixing," as well as background vocals. Meanwhile, McKagan said that he's laid down the bass tracks for an album's worth of songs in two different sessions in November and December at a studio in Los Angeles.

In the same MTV interview Duff said: "Me and Slash are just the session guys, man (laughing). I just went in and did bass tracks for the first three songs in an hour and kept at it."
And he added: "We're just so intertwined, it's not unlike a relationship with brothers. We've lived through a lot together, all through our 20s and early 30s. You know how a lot of people have college buddies? We're like that. We'll never not be friends. Music is a part of that, but it's beyond that. We're family."

As with his previous solo albums (Izzy and the Ju Ju Hounds, 117, Ride On, River, On Down The Road and Like A Dog), Izzy Stradlin penned the bulk of the material and performs lead vocals.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
