GUNS N' ROSES: Izzy Stradlin's Life Changing Arrest 

I really wish Izzy would write a book

Very interesting stuff, they were never the same without Izzy.

Good stuff... Always loved Izzy I really felt like the band wasn’t the same without him. Great songwriter and guitar player. Enjoyed this video immensely.👍

For me, Izzy’s sound was the heart and soul for G n’ R. It was a tragedy for me that he was the first one to leave.

Glad to see that he had the sense to kick his habits and get out while he still could. A lot of people never realize when it's time to stop until it's too late.

I totally respect Izzy. Many would not gain the clarity to think about leaving a band that was making them rich. Izzy must have know he was well on his way to killing himself if he did not leave the band. I am sure Izzy is comfortable thanks to his writing royalties from GnR.

Izzy wrote all the best GNR songs 😎

Aww, I thought this was going to be the story of what Slash mentions in his autobiography. To quote "We didn’t have to confront him [Izzy] at all; he had a serious scare one night that set him straight. Whatever it was, Izzy got too shook up to even talk about it. He just called his dad, who came out from Indiana, and took him back home, and that’s how and where Izzy got clean. He’s been clean ever since." Would love to know what happened.

Famous people get “life-changing arrests”. The rest of us just get busted :)

Izzy's solo records are all worth getting -- great rock and roll tunes, sweet guitar tones with Stones-type swing.

Izzy Stradlins album with the JuJu Hounds is a fantastic album. 117* too

It ain't easy livin like an Izzy

Izzy & Keith Richards: the REASON I play telecasters Agreed about Izzy...wrote the greatest of the G 'N R songs

Izzy wrote the majority their songs from Appetite to UYI 2. They lost a major piece when he left.

GnR with Izzy=all-time great rock n roll band GnR w/out Izzy=overblown hair metal band

You're so concise! No filler *BS.* New subscriber!

When Izzy filled in for Gilby Clarke back in the 90’s, Izzy and Slash had a couple of jam sessions caught on video. Those videos are supposedly locked up in a vault. I would love to watch those videos.

Congrats on 100K! Well deserved!

The production value has increased greatly in the past few videos. I'm very happy to see the channel grow like this, it's one of my daily watches. Great job fixing the sudden cutoffs at the end!

Leaving GNR and all the craziness is what saved Izzy's own life otherwise endless RIP Izzy tributes. Good for Izzy!

I can't imagine the horror of sobering up and realising you are in a band with Axl Rose. Poor Izzy.

Always had a crush on that beautiful creature! Love Izzy! Not only handsome and talented, but cool, collected, gentle, smart...

You want to hear gun's go listen to an Izzy album .

He was the secret weapon in guns n roses

i was just sort of a dorky shy introverted kid that didnt know anything about music and was just into what ever top 40 glam metal type stuff was on the radio. i got the appetite album when "welcome to the jungle" was first breaking out, mostly because this slightly older cool girl in one of my classes was going on about how awesome they were. and i was sort of just getting into it as i was on the verge of turning 16. but very shortly after i fell into a new group of friends and discovered "master of puppets" and fell quickly and deeply into the thrash metal scene. by the next year GNR fell into well into the side of bands we hate everything about, and i was young and i looked cool and i had cool friends and played guitar and was dating cute girls. BUT even though i had lost all interest in GNR and couldnt stand Axl particularly. there was always something about both Izzy and Duff that i just liked them, for two guys in such a massive band they both always gave off a vibe of someone you could hang out with.

I'm so happy that Izzy quit his drugs & drinking addictions, & cleaned himself up before it was too late

The band wasn’t the same without Izzy and Steve Adler.. was so raw the the original members. With slash and duff being fully sober, the band just isn’t the same. Seem like they are just going through the motions now..

Greatly improved video. Changing visuals and consistent audio made for an enjoyable viewing experience. Keep it up!

I'm a lead guitarist, but I have to admit that the rhythm players are the best songwritters.

Hey @Rock N’ roll True Stories did you know that axl rose had a fight with David Bowie maybe you can put a video about it 🤟🤟🤟👋

Still amazes me how small the gnr catalog is. 4 albums, democracy doesn't count, just 4 albums wow.

I was surprised and delighted when I heard Izzy's bluesy, gritty solo style. Reminds me at times of some of Keith Richards' solo projects. If you knew me you'd know just what high praise that is.

Great video!

He was the hidden soul of GnR

I saw Guns n Rose's in '91 just before he quit the band. It was a great show and I think the peak of their careers. Izzy was very essential to the sound and songwriting. REGARDLESS I think Gilby Clarke was a great choice to fill in the gap and they should have stayed with him rather than becoming the mad carousel that they became.

in izzy we trust

If he didn’t get arrested, would he have kept using? And if he had kept using, would he have left the band? If he had not left, would UYI still be the last real original GNR album? 🤔

This Channel is Awesome. Your like the younger version of Kurt Loader (MTv) when it was actually a Music Channel! Giving us all these stories are great to listen to. News that I would never know, I grew up in the late 70s and remembered when Appetite hit the Stores. I bought it on Cassette the day it hit the shelves! I named my first Born Adler Paul Nicholas after Steven (Of course) then came baby number 2 and I said Izzy, She shot it down. I said it only makes sense, right? So it came down to Murphy Steven Nicholas (named after Dropkick). Thanks again Buddy... Cheers

..and Richard tries his best to LOOK like Izzy

G&R has not been the same without Izzy

I never realized that Axl wore short shorts.

Make a video about he almost died after eating all his drug trash on the plane in Japan. Surprised you don’t have one on that

i hope they have izzy on the next record as a song writer. w/o him, there is no gnr. he don't have to play or tour. just write the songs. he'd be their brian wilson.

Arizona? They were only in the air like 30 mins tops at that point. No way that's what happened unless dude been holding that piss prior to boarding.

Axl rose is a rock Diva

Love STRADLIN great Artist and Person! And possibly the most Humble person in the Band. Rock N' Roll all the Way.!❤❤❤ Not to mention him and Axl where main writers back up vocals & Singer for some songs in Use your Illusions 1 & 2. XD

Guns N’ Roses in 2020? More like Hugs N’ Poses without Izzy.

what was the previous drug arrest?? I think it happened right before appetite came out

Best gnr member next to slash.

it's great that is he found his Clarity and reality and regained his control but really who cares about Guns and Roses there a bunch of has-beens or washed up who cares seriously folks really who cares

I wonder how much Izzy brings in each year just on the publishing/ song writing credits with GnR???

I have more questions now than I did before this video.

Funny thing is how they really only had that one bulletproof album. Use your illusion 1&2 both had so many songs that were pointless and completely boring and forgettable. Don't get me wrong, they're famous for a reason. Slash has always been one of my guitar heroes and one of the reasons I started playing guitar to begin with. But their fame is a funny thing. Who else is still touring and making millions when the last hit song they had was borderline 30 years ago?

Check out the JuJu Hounds, great album of Izzy's after GNR

I have a long time dream that Izzy and Marc Ford will hook up and start a band.

Let’s hear the story about job Bon Jovi hating Sabastian Bach lol

Izzy is the GOAT.

World wind tour? That is fucking hilarious!

00:23 he says World-wind tour! hahahahah

Any idea why Keith Richards is in this video at 4:05 ?

Does anyone have ban update on him? Is he ok?

slash you are the best guitar play in th wold from dwayne isert

Izzy was the sane one in GNR

As this is a gnr vid how about the time steven adler reformed roadcrew with members of vain

Wat year was he arrested?

Do video about the vince neil and razzle car crash

Izzy and Duff = GnR!

Izzy lost his “Patience “ with GNR!!!!!!!!! AXL lost his patience at the Chinese Buffet 🍤🍜🍣🍛🍱🥟🍧🍦🍡🎸🍗

Is it possible that Izzy’s life changing arrest was the worst thing that could have happened to Guns N’ Roses? 🤔

LA Guns please!!

All this romanticized idea that Izzy was gnr is just absurd and not true. 30+ years later history unmasked the real truth and who was who. History told us slash was the real sound ( VR and his solo stuff you can tel the soul and main structures) . That being said i liked izzy and I hope he comes back because he was part of something beautiful that is difficult to make.

Good for him.

Izzy dated a friend’s mother in the late 80s. He beat the shit out of her.

But is he still straddling?

GnR was done after he left. They wrote mediocre songs and they became just plain boring and forgettable. The only thing that made them different from any other band was that the chose the guy with the most annoying voice who couldn't even stay in key as singer. I mean, just compare a shitty song like "November Rain" to anything on Stradlin's solo albums.

I love Izzy. I think he's a real good and solid dude.

Why does Izzy look like davie504 in that opening shot?

Trouble followed GNR because of Axl...

Seem the juju hounds very early on in a tiny club in Sydney.

WASP,dude,WASP!!

Wizzy

Izzy recation to Axl Rose. Dude Axl what happened? Axls Recation to Izzy. What dude? Izzy I am out!😃

What is his real name

Izzy Stradlin ? I don't know is he ?

Oh Big Freaking Deal 🙄

Is he straddling? Probably.

FYI. It was a publicity stunt. The label forced Izzy to do that so that he would be arrested. To help push their “bad boy” image and he hated that they made him do it.

Could you do a video about Jimmy Pages involvement with the Occult and Aleister Crowley that some say bought the band Led Zeppelin down. Thank's for all the videos.

all transgender or Axl wouldn't wear a sock

Maybe he got raped in jail?

Weak

"Fruits of their labor"?? Just drug money,haha

The band wasn’t the same without Izzy and Steve Adler.. was so raw the the original members. With slash and duff being fully sober, the band just isn’t the same. Seem like they are just going through the motions now..
