Howie Hubberman recently shared some insight he got from former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin on the Appetite for Distortion podcast.
The show description states, “Billy Rowe returns to the show. We got Billy’s story in episode 64, and today he’s here to update us on all things Jetboy. Also joining is Howie Hubberman, an entrepreneur that once invested money a couple unknown bands, Guns N’ Roses and Poison.
Billy and Howie go way back, so we hear them reminisce about the early days of GNR and Jetboy. We learn about Howie’s path that lead him to open a guitar shop in the early 80s, where he sold guitars to many would-be-famous people, including Slash and Izzy Stradlin. Howie recently spoke to Izzy and we get an update on how he is.”

・Said that he felt that Izzy should definitely have been involved in the NITL tour, he should’ve gotten paid his proper share, and not have been offered less than his worth.
・Said Izzy is in “great physical condition” probably in better physical shape than any of the other GNR guys, even Duff. He seemed to emphasize this fact.
・Said Izzy is a “very intelligent guy”, and very knowledgeable about other things in life, aside from just music. (Also said that Duff is very intelligent too)
