Izzy Stradlin and Gilby Clarke performing on stage together at The Cathouse in 1986 (possibly 1987). Riki Rachtman is also pictured.

Above photos by David Plastik (Dave Plas)

Okay - I have to post this because it is so cool. I have @juliannas-wild-oats to thank for the first photo, as well as the cropped photos of Izzy. I have @mycollectionmylife to thank for the second photo that they just recently posted and I am now later adding to this post. They were originally posted by Dave Plastik on Facebook. However, he claims these photos were taken circa 1987 - not late 1986. (I'm going to double check 1987 concert dates though.) I personally feel like they were taken on December 23, 1986, but don't quote me.

I'm a big Izzy fan, but I also like Gilby Clarke. As you know, Gilby replaced Izzy when he left GNR. The cool thing about that, was that Izzy was one of the very first people Gilby met when he moved to L.A. - they were friends. So, Izzy was pleased they chose Gilby as his replacement. Gilby was the lead singer for Candy, then went on to join Kill for Thrills, and of course he later joined GNR, then Slash's Snakepit. He is not only a musician, but a producer.

But what is even cooler is that this is a photo of Izzy jamming with Gilby's band, Candy, probably in late 1986. According to the photographer, it was taken at The Cathouse. The first time I saw the picture, the description said it was taken at The Glamour on Dec. 31, 1986, and it was Izzy jamming with Jetboy. I noticed Gilby right away and then realized it was Candy. But Candy is not listed as being on the bill that night on the online set lists and concert pages.

After some investigation, I decided it was either taken on October 9th or 18th, 1986 at Reseda Country Club/Country Club of Reseda/Chuck Landis' Country Club - or at The Cathouse on December 23, 1986 - though Candy is not listed (anywhere I looked) as being on the ticket that night with GNR, Faster Pussycat, L.A. Jetboy, and L.A. Guns. However, the ticket/bill does list '& Special Guests'. So, I thought perhaps they actually were on the ticket, but just not listed in the records. Now I know this is in fact The Cathouse, and the sixth person on stage is Riki Rachtman.

I'm including a pic of Izzy hanging with Mickey Finn, Billy Rowe, and Timo Kaltio taken the same night. I just found a cool pic of Mickey Finn on stage with Izzy and Candy as well, but I cannot get into FB to download it right now. I will add it once I have it.

I just think this pic is extremely special in terms of GNR history, as well as Izzy and Gilby's history together. So, I just HAD to post it. Thanks @juliannas-wild-oats for posting those great pictures.

I'm including a photo taken almost 7 years later, of Gilby and Izzy, when Izzy came back to GNR when Gilby was injured. The date was either May 29th or 30th, 1993. (I'm pretty sure the 30th, but I'll double check.)

What's even cooler about this pic is that it was taken at a show in which both Gilby and Izzy performed on stage with GNR, Ronnie Wood, and Michael Monroe. Just seriously cool GNR history right there. Izzy performing with members of the two bands he referenced as being his influences in GNR interviews - two bands he loved. I'll go ahead and add the link to the performance. I'm adding another pic of Izzy with Gilby on March 10th, 1995 at The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino opening in Las Vegas.

Izzy performed onstage with Gilby, Candy, and probably Mickey Finn in 1986, with Gilby, GNR, Ronnie Wood, and Michael Monroe in 1993, with Duff McKagan, Gilby, Matt Sorum, B.B. King, Bo Diddley and others at The Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas in March 1995 and the following month, in April 1995, with Gilby and Slash's Snakepit (I have a great pic of Izzy and Slash on stage during that performance, but not one with Izzy and Gilby.)

Here is a flyer/invite for the 1986 Live Like a Suicide Christmas Party at The Cathouse December 23, 1986, when Candy was probably the special guest, and Izzy performed on stage with them.

Below: First four photos of Izzy Stradlin, Candy with Gilby Clarke, and Riki Rachtman (in leopard print coat) taken at The Cathouse according to Dave Plastik.

Fifth photo: Billy Rowe and Mickey Finn of Jetboy, Timo Kaltio, and Izzy Stradlin.

Sixth photo: Izzy Stradlin, Gilby Clarke, and Ronnie Wood.

Video: Ronnie Wood, Izzy Stradlin, Michael Monroe, Gilby Clarke and Guns N' Roses.

edge of the blade by journey absolutely Serving as inspiration for adam's sound holy shit

#and the next song in frontiers is called troubled child??#despite my 13yo obsession with journey i did not listen to their entite discography so i am discovering gems rn #i think frotiers as a whole is serving as adam inspo. idk about the lyrics but the Sound of these songs #i'm paying special attention to the guitar and. yeah that's serving all on its own #i do want to listen to more classic rock bands to diversify. mostly on adam's specificity when talking or thinking about music #but as of rn... thank you journey for my rights....#<- this is also research for candy. though for her i wanna listen to more blondie. maybe fleetwood mac too #i gotta do some actual research of 80s-90s rock 😩 what highly specific opinions would candy and adam have about it....#pia.txt #( wip ) greek tragedy!

What are the Hellsing character's favorite bands? Personally I think Seras likes The Cranberries. Pip is probably a stoner rock band kind of guy.

I don’t have much of an answer for this, so i’ll list the characters i do have down for having fave bands.

Jan: Insane Clown Posse

Luke: Depeche Mode

Integra: Stevie Nicks or Eurythmics, idk why..

Alucard: Van Halen or White Snake.

#yea uh thats all #hellsing #hellsing ultimate #hellsing fandom #luke valentine #jan valentine #alucard #sir integra hellsing #alucard LOOKS like a Van Halen guy #Integra just gives Stevie Nick vibes or Eurythmics.#Luke listens to depeche mode religiously i feel he is more into the alternative 80’s music (Gothic bands etc)#luke looks like he just listens to alternative 80’s music or gothic rock #we all know jan likes icp #jan will sing cotton candy or lil smth smth in the car #OR murder go ‘round

"BILL GRAHAM PRESENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO..."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on Abba Zaba-inspired concert poster art for DEEP PURPLE, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY, and COLD BLOOD, live at the Fillmore West, November 28-30 + December 1, 1968. San Francisco, CA. Artwork by Rick Griffin (✝) and Alton Kelley.

OVERVIEW: "The third and final Rick Griffin and Alton Kelley collaboration (Griffin often collaborated with Victor Moscoso, and Kelley of course worked with Stanley Mouse on virtually all of his compositions) was a good example of both artists' use of contemporary advertising in their design. The poster features a taxi cab checker design with an "Abba-Zabba" candy bar wrapper and image of monkey working on transistor. Abba-Zabbas were candy bars made at the time by the Cardinet Candy Company of Oakland, across the Bay from San Francisco. Perhaps a favorite of one of the artists?

This poster advertises the very first tour of DEEP PURPLE who had a hit single, “Hush,” that reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. It would be a few more years before they hit the real Big Time with the heavy metal classic, “Smoke on the Water.” Here they opened for SF-based IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY who were getting massive Bay-Area airplay with their hits, “White Bird,” and “Hot Summer Day.”

Pop Rocks

Then, a friend suggested I turn Pop Rocks into a human! I thought I would take the "Rocks" and turn it into the music element rather than the er, earth. I realize I made her look a little like Phineas with her facial structure, but I know I went HARD on the lighting and background!

#candy into humans #art #digital painting #clip studio paint #pop rocks #bass guitarist #candy art #art dump #concert #rock band #get it it's the Pop Rocks! Give it up for the Pop Rocks!#The sound that the pop rocks make in your mouth does kinda sound like applause #artists on tumblr
