Last night, hit a good lick. I brought home three figures easy for about two hours worth of my time. Not too bad I don't think.

The unsung hero of Guns N' Roses. Was the rhythm guitarist until he left during the Use Your Illusion tour. Was a good guitarist, just didn't feel like doin' solos like Slash. It could be said that GNR could be separate into an Izzy era and a no Izzy era, since the stuff made when he was there was great and afterwords it sucked. It's a shame that no one knows who he is now.
Izzy Stradlin wrote the lyrics and/or music for these songs:

Nightrain
Mr. Brownstone
Paradise City
Think About You
Dust N' Bones
You Ain't the First
Double Talkin' Jive
Don't Cry

You Could Be Mine
etc.

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.
