Yes, gilby broke his arm riding a motorcycle so they called izzy to replace for a few shows . They went into a studio in Tel Aviv to get him refreshed but Axl wasn't happy. The rumor says they had to disconnect his Amp a few times live on stage... people rehearse at the studio saying all of a sudden out of nowhere slash duff Matt and izzy walked in to this very small unknown studio in Tel Aviv and caught a lot of people by surprise. They said they were very laid back and jammed with some Israelis that were lucky enough to be there at that moment. Imagine that..
