Slash himself credited Izzy with starting alot of the song structure, and Slash added to it.

Go read his book. No one knows where the riffs came from. But if I'M WRONG for crediting Izzy, you Mikka or anyone for that matter is just as wrong for crediting Slash.

I personally think Izzy started the grooves (riffs), and Slash enhanced them, and brought them together. Made them bigger so to speak.

Have you ever wondered why Slash's solos sound so limp and streamlined with VR?

No Iz

well i dont think that VR or snakepit sound limp or lacking riffs...nugnr ont he other hand....

and yeah starting songs comes from chord progressions, strumming patterns and song structures....you dont always need a riff for those...though sometimes they do come hand in hand

good rythm work and songwriting like izzy brought to the table seems to fly under the radar while the lead guitarist gets worshiped for his solos, which are useless if the song sucks.

Slash's comments were generalized.

Which leads me to believe quite a bit of the catalog.
