Is anyone here a fan of his solo stuff? I've been listening to my old CDs this morning and found this one. Really good stuff.

I loved his first solo album. But I haven't listened in 20 years or so. Great Rock&Roll.

INB4 he used Katana Brown.

Mesa Mark III actually, for this whole record and for most of his GnR work as well.

Doesn't surprise me

Sounds fucking great.

I'm not wild about his vocals but I love Izzy. That tone is bad ass and like a relaxed GnR. Damn Dave bring me one of your Marks.

Great stuff. I actually prefer his playing to Slash.

I literally wore out the first CD when it came out. Big fan of that record. They were a big thing in Atlanta, since Rick Richards from the Satellites was on guitar. Saw em live, Rick was playing a LP Jr straight into a couple of 2-12 tweed Kendricks and,iirc, Izzy had a couple of 60's era Fender heads, maybe Dual Showman? Awesome show.

Very cool. I need to check out more of his stuff.

I liked all that stuff be he kinda faded away didn't he , also Gilby was cool too

yeah it was his choice though. He seems like a bit of an introvert and he's set for life on Appetite sales/royalties alone.

According to Slash, Izzy never wanted to put ALL of the work into being a part of G&R. The music was what he was into . All of the extra bullshit was more than he wanted to deal with.


Although I'm sure Queen Axl had something to do with it.

heavy drugs , West Arkeen out , Adler down for the count , shit was a mess

I really need to check his stuff out. I love GNR and Slash is my all time fav guitarist. I don't know why I've never picked up any of Izzy's solo stuff

In Duffs memoir, he said Izzy was the baddest motherfucker he ever met. Also he once played a gig pre GNR with Izzy in another band who was dressed in drag.
