Editor's note

Izzy Stradlin, the quiet architect of Guns N' Roses

The rhythm guitarist who co-wrote classics like 'Sweet Child O' Mine' before carving out a solo lane of bluesy rock.

For a sense of his solo vibe, 'Seems To Me' is a good place to start. It's got that no-fuss, roadhouse feel he carried over from the Guns N' Roses days.

Izzy Stradlin's name is on some of the biggest rock songs of the late '80s, including 'Sweet Child O' Mine' and 'Paradise City.' After leaving Guns N' Roses in 1991, he made a string of solo records that leaned into a grittier, blues-influenced sound. Songs like 'Seems To Me' from his solo catalog show that stripped-down approach.

He was a co-founder of Guns N' Roses, helping define their early sound before his departure. His post-GNR work, starting with the 1992 album with the Ju Ju Hounds, settled into a consistent groove of straightforward rock and blues.

Archive material and source history

Izzy Stradlin was the rhythm guitarist and co-founder of Guns N' Roses, where he helped shape the band's early sound. He co-wrote songs like "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Paradise City" before leaving the group in 1991.

After Guns N' Roses, he started making his own records. His 1992 debut album with the Ju Ju Hounds had a bluesy rock feel, and later albums like "117°" and "Ride On" continued in that vein. Songs from his solo work include "Sweet Caress" and "Ain't It A Bitch."

He was born Jeffrey Dean Isbell and played in an early band called Hollywood Rose before Guns N' Roses formed. His guitar style drew from straightforward rock and blues influences rather than flashy technique.
