Excerpts from interviews with Ronnie Sweetheart of The Throbs:

“There was a bit of animosity between my guitarist Roger Ericsson and Izzy Stradlin, and Roger’s then wife at the time. There was something going on there.”

“Roger was married at the time to Annica—I don’t know if I should mention names—and I believe Izzy and Annica hooked up.”

“Izzy and Roger were really good friends. They knew each other for quite some time, but apparently there were some shots fired in the hills of Hollywood near Izzy’s residence or where he was staying at the time. And apparently people say it might have been someone in the The Throbs. Then, ironically enough, The Throbs are not going on tour with Guns N Roses…”
