The original rhythm guitarist for guns n' roses. He was the quiet member of the band, and didn't look for much attention. He was a pretty good guitarist, and wrote alot of the band's best songs, and co-wrote many others. He was the first gunner to give up drugs and alchohol, in 1989, though this was in part because of a court order after an arrest for disorderly conduct and indecent exposure on an airplane. He left in the middle of the use your illusion tour because of creative differences with Axl Rose.
Some of the songs that Izzy Stradlin wrote:
Patience
You Could be Mine
Rocket Queen
Mr. Brownstone
Think About You
14 Years
Double-Talkin' Jive.

Get the mark foleymug. One of Guns n' Roses many great songs. It is a love song written for Axl Rose's then-wife Erin Everly.
It started during a jam session when as a joke Slash started playing, in his words, "a stupid little riff" which he'd used as an excercise, and making wierd faces at drummer Steve Adler. Izzy Stradlin then came in with some chords and Duff McKagan improvised a bass line. Axl was amazed and started singing from a love letter to Erin. In 1988, with the release of Appetite for Destruction, Sweet Child reached #1 on the billboard top 40, even passing Welcome to the Jungle. Slash originally didn't like the song, but after playing it live he began to enjoy it more. His riff is always listed as one of the greatest ever by music critics.
Unfortunately, Axl and Everly's relationship did worse than the song, ending in divorce and spousal abuse lawsuits. But the song is amazing anyway.

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Woah, oh, oh, Sweet child o' mine
Whoah, oh, oh, oh, Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Woah, oh, oh, Sweet child o' mine
Woah, oh, oh, oh, Sweet love of mine
Woah, oh, oh, yeah
Whoah, oh, oh oh, Sweet child o' mine
Whoah oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine
Whoah, oh, oh oh, Sweet child o' mine, ooh yeah,
Oh, sweet love of mine
Where do we go,
Where do we go now,
Where do we go,
Where do we go,
Oh, where do we go now
Where do we go,
Oh, where do we go now
Where do we go now,
where do we go,
Oh, where do we go now
where do we go,
where do we go now,
where do we go,
whoah, where do we go now,
Sweet child,
Sweet child o' mine
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Woah, oh, oh, Sweet child o' mine
Whoah, oh, oh, oh, Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain

And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Woah, oh, oh, Sweet child o' mine
Woah, oh, oh, oh, Sweet love of mine

Get the Sweet Child O' Minemug. The bassist for guns n' roses for all of their albums except chinese democracy. He is now with Slash in Velvet Revolver. He was a good bassist, and is also a realy nice guy. He now has had to give up the rock star lifestyle since he's married with 2 kids, but he still rocks when he's playing music. never actualy was kicked out of guns n roses- he and Slash, the only original members left, kicked Axl Rose and all the replacement members out in '98. Axl then sued them for the rights to the name, won, and Duff and Slash formed Velvet Revolver. Like the other gunners, duff had trouble with drugs and booze. he now has quit drinking, after his pancreas burst and he learned that any more alchohol would kill him. He's not much of a partier any more, but he's still a realy cool guy.

Get the Duff mckaganmug. The drummer for guns n' roses on Appetite for Destruction and Gn'R Lies. He wasn't a great drummer, but his style worked for the band. He was a big partier, and was kicked out during recording for Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 when his bandmates realized he was too drugged-up to play, and was replaced by matt sorum. The only song he contributed to use your illusion was "Civil War." He kept using drugs until a massive stroke which left his speech slurred. He now drums for his band Adler's Appetite. He has also sued former band members, like every other gunner.
It is believed that "The Spaghetti Incident?"'s title is inspired by a spaghetti fight that took place between Matt Sorum and Steven Adler.

Get the steven adlermug. The great frontman for a great band, Nirvana. Was made a legend, whether he liked it or not. Excellent songwriter, nice guy, ok singer, ok guitarist. He in the end was driven to suicide by the strains on his shy, reserved personality that the rock-god life had.
Seriously, stop worshipping the man. He just wanted people to leave him to live a happy life, to not be stalked by fans and paparazzi 24/7. He wasn't "perfect." He had severe drug problems, which probably contributed to his suicide. There was his dumb feud with Axl Rose. And he wasn't a "prophet." He didn't view himself as one.
