Why Guns N' Roses Reunion Didn't Include Izzy Stradlin

(Classic Rock) Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin explained why he is not part of the band's reunion lineup and he's called Axl Rose's recent explanation for his absence "bs."

His comment comes after the frontman suggested he wasn't sure why Stradlin had declined to rejoin for their Not In This Lifetime tour. Earlier this month Rose said: "With Izzy, that's just something I can't really describe. I don't know what to say.

"You can have a conversation and think it's one way, then the next day it's another way. I'm not trying to take any shots at Izzy. It's just, his thing's his thing, whatever that is."

Stradlin has responded with a tweet that reads: "[B.S.] They didn't want to split the loot equally. Simple as that. Moving right along�" here.
