I think Izzy came across as shy and did not voiced his opinions as much so Axl appeared to take over in interviews. I hope Izzy realizes now how valuable he is to GnR and what a great songwriter he is.
He looked really handsome without the makeup. I saw a picture of him and Warren back in the day where he wasn’t wearing the makeup and his hair was pulled back more normal looking and I was like wow! he was really handsome! I think his stage look detracted from his looks.
