“I was working in the Hollywood Music Store the day a slinky guy dressed like Johnny Thunders came up to me. He was wearing tight black jeans, creepers, dyed black hair, and pink socks. […] We didn’t talk for long. Izzy has always been the kind of guy with somewhere else that he needed to be.” — Slash

POV: it’s 1985 and you’re the somewhere else that he needed to be

By the start of December 1988, Guns 'n Roses were back out on the road: five headline shows in Japan, held over from the summer, culminating in a sell-out show at the 14,000 capacity Budokan, in Tokyo.

"We're at the airport, at LAX, and Izzy is showing me how he has hidden his smack in a small boom box in the battery compartment. I tell him to get rid of it now! Izzy does. He comes back, he's standing next to me, and we're watching the swirl of passengers below-we were in a reserved area up top in the international building — and Izzy collapses. Yeah, he got rid of his shit — he swallowed it. He was "out" the whole flight, according to our tour manager, Doug Goldstein.

When Izzy woke up, he didn't even know he was in Tokyo. He thought he was still in the Valley. So he calls Steven. "Hey man, where are we?" Steven goes "We're in fucking Japan." Izzy goes, "No, we're not." Steven goes, "I want you to go to the window right now and look outside and if you can see one head of blonde hair I'll suck your dick!"
