Izzy Gold Make$ It Rain In Times Square

Izzy GoldIzzy Gold apparently created a lot of buzz in Times Square lately. Confused? So were we.  Go HERE to get the details on the shenanigans that is Izzy Gold Records.

All I need to know is that there was $10,000 in cold hard cash thrown out in Times Square and I wasn’t warned beforehand!  Maybe it’s because we got the whole story wrong?

[Who Is Izzy Gold?]

    GoaG, I served with Izzy Gold: I knew Izzy Gold; Izzy Gold was a friend of mine. Chris Young, you mohawked imposter, you’re no Izzy Gold.

  2. merden - July 31st, 2008

    Izzy Gold lives and is friends with everyone… Izzy Gold is an idea. Brad and Fran and Chris are all friends. I think this is a ploy to get more publicity

  3. maxmillion - July 31st, 2008

    i am not sure about that one merden! look at the you tube and go to http://www.izzygoldrecords.com. do your research before you respond with senseless comments.

  4. loverfly - July 31st, 2008

    I am not sure about that one merden. take a look at the youtube video (izzy gold makes it rain $10,000 in times square) and http://www.izzygoldrecords.com. maybe you should do your research before you post stupid senseless comments.

  5. NYC FAn - July 31st, 2008

    Izzy is brand. think about it…its a revolution? you can be apart of the revolution. rebel people! thats what they are trying to tell you. Dont conform to the politics. Duh! besides Chris is a better Izzy that Fran *he’s fat* chris isn;= just being honest

  6. Not Buying It - August 1st, 2008

    This whole thing is so stupid. Francesco is really cool and super nice. This new guy is weird and angry and really old and creepy. Whoever is doing this is so messed up. Fine, we get it, Izzy Gold is a brand, but it’s a brand Francesco created, and everyone associates Izzy Gold with Francesco, so it’s not going to work to just swap someone in and hope no one will notice. Izzy Gold is not like Destiny’s Child. It’s like on a soap when they swap out the hot guy for some weird loser and expect you to like just forget that it’s not the same guy. Why does this guy keep screaming? I’d pay ten thousand dollars for him to shut the f up! I’m guessing that he’s definitely not from NYC. Otherwise, why would he go to Times Square to do anything? How are you going to start a revolution there? It’s just a bunch of tourists—and most them looked too jaded to care that some idiot is winging one-dollar bills at them—the Euro-equivalent of hurling a bunch of change. They’d be more excited if he were giving away I love NY t-shirts. Who knows where this guy is from anyway? GoG needs to find out. He’s like one of those losers you have to rescue your friends from. What revolution? Rebel against what? High gas prices? We don’t really drive…and we like that there’s less traffic on 27. Obviously whoever is behind this is no genius, but the sad part is that they’re trying to play us for a bunch of fools. But we’re not buying it.

  7. Patriot - August 1st, 2008

    Not Buying IT. You sound very un-american. Times Sq is a great place to leave a message. Do you sympathize with Al Qaeda? If Osama bombed Times Sq tomorrow would you say damn i guess he is not from NYC. Nobody will care about his message? Moron. I dont care who plays Izzy Gold. The crazy eddie guy or that fat slow kid Fran. The message is good

  8. RESPONSE TO NOT BUYING IT - August 1st, 2008

    Get it through your head no one knows who Fran is. He doenst do anything and never will. Literally talentless. Maybe 50 people know of him and its because he walked around with Ally Hilfiger for a week. BIG WOOP.

  9. real gold supporter - August 1st, 2008

    You people are silly… this guy Francesco started the brand, and made the name by doing things with it… didnt we hear about izzy gold before we heard about izzy gold records… and didnt francesco (izzy gold) actually talk about chris young in an article saying that they met and started a record company together,,, ya I think so… izzygoldrecords.com doesn’t have one pic of fran up there.. apart from articles about him from other publications… also it doesn’t look like fran is friends with chris or brad… throwing one dollar bills isn’t so revolutionary and seems like a trashy publicity stunt… at least throw out 20’s or 100’s if you are so rich and gold…

  10. Michelle - August 2nd, 2008

    This is something that really is getting attention where ever its seen. I mean you imagine someone doing this but noone actually ever has.

  11. Michelle - August 2nd, 2008

    Not until now anyway.

  12. Michelle - August 2nd, 2008

    Anyway Izzy Rocks From what I know of him and he plays the piano like mozart.
