Has anyone ever met Izzy? Please share your experience.

It could be from when he was in guns or after ..

I saw Izzy at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I’ve met Izzy back in 2012 at the gnr residency. I met him when he arrived and got a picture with him. Cool dude. Also got to chill with him and bumble on nov 24. Ron brought me into line check and let me run around on stage and shit. Izzy was playing around on Axl’s piano. Pretty awesome shit

Does anyone have a story that isn't fanfiction, a joke or a case of mistaken identity? 

[Ama]

I know of a guy who met him back in 2006. He also met the whole band in 2010, even Axl.

The story about Izzy is quite surreal!!

He was going to the show of Bilbao (Spain) in 2006, and while he was on the train to get there he readed an article in the newspapper talking about the GNR's show. It mentioned the hotel where the band was staying so he went there to have some drinks and see if he could take some photos with someone. He saw everyone but Axl (who was in a different hotel).

In the lobby he asked a photo to Izzy and talked with him for a while, he told me that Izzy was very friendly and they were talking about the city etc.

After, this same day, this guy was walking around the city and saw again Izzy, walking alone (Bilbao is not a big city). Izzy remembered him and told him he was looking for A MIRROR AND SOME SPECIAL SCISSORS, but he couldn't find them as he did not speak Spanish and the people couldn't understand him either. So, my friend told him to help him and he went around the city looking for these scissors, as Izzy's translator. They were talking about music and Spain as Izzy had gone several times in holidays (I don't remeber the city but it was somewhere near Barcelona). They went to several shops and only bought the mirror, not the scissors, also they tried in some barbershops but they couldn't make it. He asked Izzy if he wanted to get his hair cut but he answered that he wanted to do it himself.

I know it all sounds strange, but it's the way it happened.

Thank you. So it’s the orange jacket pic, I know it. It has been shared on the interwebs a lot, only with the fan cropped out

Ha, funny. I'd never seen it, as far as I remember. Izzy looks like a total tramp there I think it's mainly the cap he's wearing.

What does it mean to look like a tramp? Someone who is travelling hitchhiking or what?

That cap!!!! I know! lol Can’t get used to see Izzy with those American baseball (?) style caps. To my taste they just look ... bad taste. lol. Probably culture gap.

A tramp? Just someone who sleeps out on the streets. It's really the cap. Not that I mind. I just find it funny.

When I first saw that on stage picture before the cap one, it looked as if Axl was a little kid between Richard and Izzy. (Sorry, I'm getting tired.)

I sat next to izzy on a plane and he gave me a hand job under a blanket. He was a cool guy. We talked about gnr untill i nutted . He then went into the bathroom to wash off his rings and the rest of the flight was awkward. 

[wasted]

I bought some avocados in the supermarket and thought “Where’s Izzy?”
