Izzy's first album is all I own----that's my top 1!

Theres a lot of cool stuff you should check out then. As a kid the original members leaving sucked but everyone, including Axl with the new band, has put together some amazing stuff.

[madagas]

I owned a bunch of stuff that ended up at the used cd store.... Izzy's first record and 117 degrees were the only two I thought were worth a shit. Izzy has some good tracks sprinkled throughout all his albums I am sure.

[lynn1961]

Snakepit - Aint Life Grand
Snakepit - Five O'Clock Somewhere
Loaded - Dark Days
Izzy & the Ju Ju Hounds
Neurotic Outsiders

Is VR really considered "solo" albums?

I get what you mean...but then The Ju Ju Hounds, Neurotic Outsiders, loaded, and Snakepit aren't really solo albums either. I think he meant post Guns work in general.

[tippasaurus]

1.   117 degrees - Izzy
2.   Libertad - VR
3.   Contraband - VR
4.   Ju Ju Hounds - Izzy
5.   On Down The Road - Izzy
6.   It's Five O' Clock Somewhere - Slash's Snakepit
7.   Ride On - Izzy
8.   River - Izzy
9.   Neurotic Outsiders
10. Ain't Life Grand

[Skeletor]

Really tough to put the Izzy albums in a specific order... at the end of the day, all of them have some great tracks and some filler songs. So I'll just have to put it like this:

1. Izzy's solo material
2. Neurotic Outsiders
3. Libertad

Loaded Dark Days
Beautiful Disease ; Duff
Neurotic Outsiders
Ride On : Izzy
River : Izzy
Pawnshop Guitars : Gilby
Like a Dog : Izzy
Ju Ju Hounds: Izzy
117* : Izzy
Believe in Me : Duff


I dont consider VR in with the solo stuff, i did include NO as most of those songs were solo efforts that they brought in to the band.

I dont consider VR in with the solo stuff, i did include NO as most of those songs were solo efforts that they brought in to the band.

Almost all of the material on N.O album was Steve Jones... but there was a couple of Duff tunes.  And I think Johnny Taylor did some stuff but most of it ... the majority... was Steve Jones.

Fucking love that album.

Yeah That is a really great one. Might be my favorite thing Steve Jones has ever done.

Me too. Great album. There cover of Duran Duran's 'Planet Earth' is killer.

[Jay Tea]

1. Gilby - Pawnshop
2. Duff - Believe In Me
3. Snakepit - IFOS
4. Gilby - Hangover
5. VR - Contaband
6. Kill For Thrills - Commercial Suicide

I listened to Pawnshop Guitars almost as much as I listened to UYI

i am less familiar with the later Duff, Slash, Izzy releases (96-present) and didn't hear all of Libertad yet (besides what they played on tour). I also have a feeling that I would love Buckethead and Bumblefoot albums if i got my hands on them.

So this list is subject to change.

[alejoyp]

1- Pawnshop Guitars (Gilby)
2- Contraband (VR)
3- Like A Dog (Izzy)
4- It's 5 o'clock somewhere (Slash's Snakepit)
5- 117? (Izzy)
6- Adler's Appetite EP (AA)
7- Swag (Gilby)
8- Beautiful Disease (Duff)
9- Ju Ju Hounds (Izzy)
10- Neurotic Outsiders

Don't like snakepit Ain't Life Grand (maybe the worst of ex-gunners material) neither Libertad (just a couple of songs but not as an album)... my favorite ex-gunners songwriters n' artists are Gilby n' Izzy

[alejoyp]

AHHH... I forgot 2 say that I'm considering ex-gunners those who had record albums with Gn'r... Buckethead kick major asses... n' Supernova sucked...

[IzzyDutch]

01 Izzy - 117 degrees
02 Izzy - Ride On
03 Izzy - On Down The Road
04 Izzy - Fire
05 Izzy - Miami
06 Izzy - Like A Dog
07 Izzy - River
08 Izzy - Ju Ju Hounds
09 Duff - Beautiful Disease
10 Gilby - Pawshop Guitars

11 Gilby - Swag
12 Adler's Appetite EP
13 Duff - Believe In Me
14 It's Five O' Clock Somewhere
15 Ain't Life Grand

The Izzy albums pretty much vary but 117 remains #1 

[Fingers]

VR-Contraband
VR-Libertad
Gilby's PSG
Snakepit 5o'clock somewhere
Neurotic Outsiders



Gilby's albums start out good, and trail off, IMO

[Continental Drift]

1. Gilby Clarke- Pawnshop Guitars
2. Gilby Clarke- The Hangover
3. Buckethead- Colma
4. Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum- Neurotic Outsiders
5. Izzy Stradlin'- Izzy Stadlin' & the Ju Ju Hounds

I absolutely love those Gilby Clarke albums. I still think to this day that a great mid/late 90's GN'R album (with the UYI tour line-up) could have easily been put together based off the best material (and letting Axl and Slash add their personal touch) from those two albums and taking on a few Axl ballads (e.g. The Blues and Catcher In the Rye) . Too bad.
