Info:

 One afternoon in late 1993, according to drummer Chalo Quintana, Izzy Stradlin left the Ju Ju Hounds’ studio for cigarettes and never came back. Two years earlier, he’d left Guns N’ Roses, by then the biggest rock n’ roll band on the planet, in only slightly less casual circumstances. It seems Axl Rose wasn’t the only member of Guns N’ Roses who has difficulty working with others; most accounts of the Ju Ju Hounds break-up concede that Izzy simply didn’t want to work with another dominant personality- so he left.

Stradlin resurfaced in 1998 with 117 Degrees, his first “solely solo” release. Five years is a long time to drop of the face of the earth: Axl was by now the only original member remaining in Guns N’ Roses, Izzy had cut his hair, and his original music had come along leaps and bounds. Izzy Stradlin & The Ju Ju Hounds wasn’t a particularly distinctive album, heavily indebted to The Rolling Stones, The Faces and The Clash. Conceived primarily as a reaction to the elaborate stadium rock that the latter-day Guns N’ Roses had become under Axl Rose (and that Izzy had only a minor role in creating), it was a return to that band’s roots. The follow-up was to be an entirely more adventurous album.
