Rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, as usual, is nowhere to be seen. One usually sees more of his dog, a good-natured German shepard that has its own backstage laminate, than of Stradlin. What the guitarist does with his time is a topic of debate among the other band members, because the only time they really see much of him is onstage. (It's Izzy's goal" says Rose, "to be Mr. Invisible"In the band's Appetite for Destruction phase, Stradlin was regarded as something of a mess. His sole contribution to Guns n' Roses public-fuckup file came during that period - an arrest that occurred when confronted with an overlong line at the lavatory on a plane, he christened the kitchen area instead. (The caper earned him a staggering fine, numerous headlines and a rather embarrassing nickname, compliments of his wiseass bandmates: Whizzy) Today, however, Stradlin is clear-eyed, witty and entirely unpretentious he is probably the only member of Guns n' Roses who manages to lead a somewhat normal life. He spent most of Guns n' Roses rejuvenation period traveling; by the time the band began work on its album, he had seen the sights in Germany, Spain, and England, with stops in Paris and Amsterdam thrown in for good measure. Stradlin says that travel is the reward of success he cherishes the most. Meeting the Rolling Stones. ("That was excellent") runs a close second. Everything else he says, he can live without - including the drugs that were so prevalent in the band's early days. "I don't fuck around with that stuff. I just reached the point where I said 'I'm gonna kill myself. Why die for this shit'" The guitarist says that he had his last drink a year and half ago (with good company - Keith Richards and Ron Wood) and that while he doesn't have any real regrets about his partying heyday, he wouldn't want to relive it either. "We used to do a lot of funny shit," Stradlin says laughing, "But I don't miss it. There is nothing like throwing up out a bus door going 65 miles an hour".Stradlin spends his off time either skateboarding or bicycling; he also hauls a motorcycle around with him on tour. While the rest of Guns n' Roses fly on a chartered MGM Grand jet, Stradlin travels by himself to avoid the isolation inherent in being part of a protective entourage. "If you're driving or something, it keeps you in touch with the rest of the world" Stradlin says. Asked about his reputation as the most press shy band member, Stradlin says he avoids interviews because "I've read so much bullshit about our band""At first", says Stradlin "I thought it was funny. Then I was like 'I don't need this'. Why should I try to explain our version when they are going to write whatever? (He does however find dong the rare interview useful - like say when he's lost touch with two of his old Indiana friends ?Mike Gold and Troy Kendall - and thinks that crediting them as early influences in a magazine article might prompt them to look him up.Stradlin contributed more songs to the Use Your Illusion albums than any other band member. But he isn't counting. "I have a few on there" Stradlin says "but they all get mixed together. Once they are on tape with Axl singing and Slash playing guitar, I just look at them as Guns n' Roses stuff." His nonchalance about his own songs notwithstanding, Stradlin is eager for the albums to be released. "Then I can go to a truckstop" Stradlin says "I never play our music at truckstops, but its always a kick to see Hank Williams and then see one of our songs. That's like 'Yeah, we made it'"Izzy Stradlin was the loner of the group, aloof and surly until you really got to know him - in essence, the Keith Richards of Guns N' Roses.个人认为写得非常好。

以后还要麻烦 败虾 多找些资料了~

以前找的，现在没什么时间。你倒不翻阿？

这篇文章的确挺有意思，我翻译些开头，大家继续啊~如同以往，节奏吉他手Izzy Stradlin消失的无影无踪。人们更容易见到他那条温顺的德国黑背（译者注：一种牧羊犬），它比Stradlin有更多的后台laminate（不会译……）。这个吉他手到底在忙些什么成为了乐队其他成员争论的主题，因为大多是在舞台上他们才能真正见到他。（“这是Izzy的目的，”Rose说道：“变成‘隐身’先生。”）在乐队《毁灭的欲望》专辑（Appetite for Destruction）期间，Stradlin被当成是一个邋遢的家伙。他对枪炮与玫瑰乐队那该死的公众档案唯一的贡献来自于他的那次被捕——当时在飞机上他看到去卫生间的队伍排得太长，就把厨房当作了卫生间。（这个闹剧为他赢得了巨额罚金、众多报纸的头条以及一个很难堪的绰号——是乐队里那帮“蠢货”向他的致敬：Whizzy）而今，Stradlin头脑清晰、机智幽默并且十分谦逊，他也许是枪炮与玫瑰乐队里唯一一个能够相对正常的生活的人。枪炮与玫瑰乐队复苏时期他花了大量时间去旅行；到乐队开始制作专辑时，他已经享受了德国、西班牙以及英格兰的风光，又另外增加了在巴黎和阿姆斯特丹的逗留。

哈哈，革命尚未成功，楼上仍须努力...o(^0^)o

啊啊……谁来翻译一下……！！

这个伟大的工作交给我吧!!!等我5分钟

亲爱的，你是去查翻译了……还是翻译去了……

IZZY说四处旅游是他最珍视的成功带来的奖励。遇见滚石带来了亲密一刻，IZZY说:“棒极了!”。他还说没有那些东西---包括早期乐队里风行的毒品，他也能活。“我不责怪我的乐队，我只是想说明，为什么要因为毒品什么的而死，还不如我杀了我自己。”这个吉他手说他上一次喝酒还是一年半以前的事了，喝的还是好酒---Keith Richards and Ron Wood。那时候他还没对当时HIGH翻天的生活感到丝毫悔意，也没有想重新来过的意思。“我们以前会做一些很搞笑的事”IZZY笑着说，“可是我并不怀念那些事，没有什么像把车开到65码再打开车门狂吐再傻的事了。”

IZZY在闲暇时间会玩滑板或骑单车，他在旅程中也拖着一辆摩托车。当乐队其他成员正坐在拉斯维加斯的米高梅大酒店的豪华包机上时，IZZY却独自在旅行的路上，他这样做是为了避免the isolation inherent in being part of a protective entourage. (不会翻啊）“如果你正在驾驶或干其他的事，你就会感觉和外界还有交流。”

我翻得多辛苦啊!!!一边拿着电子词典，一边翻着网页上下滑。。。好多生词啊!!!

已经很棒了~~~~~~~~谢谢~~~~~~~~~~~~

我错了……我已经发觉了……摸摸脑袋~

5555555555555555亏你还顶了一下，接下来的不如交给后人吧!!!hahahah!!!

你这是翻到哪里了？考虑我要不要接受（关键是水平太烂……）

Asked about his reputation as the most press shy band member, Stradlin says he avoids interviews because "I've read so much bullshit about our band"
当问到Izzy是最内敛（我实在是接受不了Shy这个词……）的队员时，Izzy说他总是在避免被采访因为“我看过太多关于我们乐队的胡扯”

"At first", says Stradlin "I thought it was funny. Then I was like 'I don't need this'. Why should I try to explain our version when they are going to write whatever? (He does however find dong the rare interview useful - like say when he's lost touch with two of his old Indiana friends ?Mike Gold and Troy Kendall - and thinks that crediting them as early influences in a magazine article might prompt them to look him up.
“刚开始的时候，”Izzy说，“我觉得那还算好玩，但很快我就处于‘我不需要这种东西’（采访吧）的状态。为什么我要和那些根本在胡写的人解释我们的看法（Izzy是觉得浪费口舌么……)
（然而他也发现做一些极好的采访是有用的——就像说到当他和他和他的两个印第安纳老朋友失去联系Mike Gold和Troy Kendell——认为早期在杂志文章上的影响使他们立即崇拜起他来（我的功力有限，弄不清楚这句话了……这几个他……）


Izzy Stradlin was the loner of the group, aloof and surly until you really got to know him - in essence, the Keith Richards of Guns N' Roses.
Izzy是乐队中的独行者，冷漠直到你完全了解他——本质上的GN'R中的Keith Richards

集体力量大啊嘿嘿，完工~~~~

额。。。说到翻译。。。我表示手上有两篇izzy的采访，不过貌似曾经有热心同学翻译过来，但那时候我看了后觉得个人理解有不同所以也自己翻译了一遍。。。那时是苦逼的高二，我承认我大多数课堂时光都用来做这个了，全在笔记本上呢。。。于是，大家要不要我发上来？？（这问题真诡异= =）
还有就是，我很久没去枪花吧了，话说当年有人喊着翻译november rain的原型小说without you究竟最后有没有翻译完呢？因为我正在翻译中。。。如果已经有翻译过的话我就可以不翻译了（？）
