"We love to take care of women - we love to treat them great... but right now we don't have any money so we treat them like shit". Izzy Stradlin' (1986)
"We didn't have any money, but we had a lot of hangers on and girls we could bassically live off. Things were just too easy". Izzy (1987)
"We don't care if people think we have a bad attitude". Izzy (1989)
"We had to eat shit to get were we are". Izzy (1986)
"We didn't go out and look for a record contract. It came to us. We signed with Geffen because they were the coolest company". Izzy (1987)
"We do what we want. We have a raunchy type attitude. I don't wanna say punk' attitude, but we definitely are raunchy."
"That night at the Felt Forum in New York was a particularly good night. I mean, sometimes we make bad mistakes onstage. I remember in the old days we'd go so nuts we'd fall right off the stage. Sometimes we'd jump off the stage on purpose. You can't stay too tight when you do that."
"We have quite a few lawsuits already, but our attorney says you're not a real band until you have at least a dozen of 'em, so we have about eight more to go."
"The fact that I'm from Indiana has no business being in my career."
"Many times I'll be playing and some big kid will be hurling through the air at 100 miles per hour right at me. I can't imagine what that must look like from the audience but I'm sure it adds excitement to the show. When these kids go flying past me and I never see them coming, it gives me a rush of adrenalin like you wouldn't believe."
"We don't really care if people think we've got a bad attitude. We're the only band to come out of L.A. recently that's real. And the kids know it."
"I Used To Love Her But I Had to Kill Her is a joke. I was sitting around listening to the radio and some guy was whining about a broad who was treating him bad. I wanted take the radio and smash it against the wall! Such self pity! So, we rewrote that same song we heard with a better ending, it's a real New York-type of song."
"The blues are real important. It's where most of the hard rock 'n' roll came from."
"I hate to take showers! Guitarists don't like showers 'cause we like the grease to build up on our fingers, makes playing more fluid."
"The feeling stays with you long after you leave that stage. It makes you not able to sleep and keeps you pumped up for hours afterwards. There's no feeling like it in the world. On an average tourday, I try to get about four or five hours sleep. Sometimes it's just not possible so I sleep only two or three hours and then on an offday, I'll sleep all day. That gets your body back to normal."
"We constantly disagree and keep changing our minds about everything from one day to the next."
"We're not as crazy as we used to be. Nobody's laid out with a jones anymore. Now we know what we have to do and we do it. What's fun is getting to meet all the people whose music we listen to. It's a gas! We met Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick ... he was the greatest! He hung out with us when we played Rockford, Illinois and he got totally plastered! No more tequila for you Rick! When he pulled that stuff out, I knew there'd be problems. What a wild guy. We loved him. When we left him, he was sacked out on the floor."
