GAHHHHHHH OMG IZZYYYYYY JUST WATCH HIM

Izzy and Duff at Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas, 1995

Guns N Roses at CBGB, 1987

Izzy, comatose by the bar, sways to the music and rises only to flip over the cassettes. By the wee hours, Slash, Steve and Duff have all disappeared. Izzy decides to walk back to the hotel, where an entire floor is blocked off for the band and their coterie. Mumbling and stumbling down the humidity-riddled streets, the somewhat lost guitarist insists, "It's here somewhere" Minutes later, settled in our separate rooms, there's a knock on my door.

"It's Izzy." ''It's four o'clock in the goddamn morning, Izzy!" "Can you help get me on a flight back to L.A.? I don't wanna spend the next two days on the bus." Feverishly dialing the various local airlines, I pray he doesn't pass out in my room. He doesn't. I usher him out of my room, unfortunately without getting him a flight for the next morning
