Thanks Tray Oh yeah, I forgot Bad Rain, groovy number!
I think Slash has been the most successful ex G 'n R member by a good margin.
If you mean monetary worth, then yes, Slash is technically the most successful, but I wouldn't say by a good margin, relatively speaking. Slash's net worth is about $32 million, while Izzy Stradlin is a few million behind at $28 million. Then Duff McKagan is back at $20 million, twice as far behind Izzy as Izzy is to Slash.
However by quality of music output, Izzy Stradlin is leaps and bounds ahead of all the other ex-Gunners and any post-Izzy incarnation of GN'R. If you are a fan of classic rock and GN'R, then I highly recommend checking out Izzy's solo discography. He has 11 albums, but they've been internet download-only since 2005. If you can get a hold of them, Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds (1992), 117° (1998) and River (2001) are the best.
Izzy Stradlin is the Keith Richards of GN'R (no offense to Slash, Brian Jones or Ron Woods), but Izzy's solo material is way better than Richards' solo stuff.I don't know much about Izzy Stradlin but you almost make a compelling case to check him out......however I don't like DL's generally especially MP3's I prefer lossless if possible.

All of Izzy's albums except his first are also available on iTunes in their .m4a format. The 3 albums I recommended above were all from his CD era so they can be found on Amazon, eBay and the like. YouTube has plenty of Izzy available for listening if you would like to preview before buying anything.

I found a Slash solo thread that talks about it.Back to Slash, how is the self-titled 2010 album? I see there are collaborations with several artist I like.
Apocalyptic Love was okay I guess. I'd give it maybe a 6 on 10 or something. I think I prefer the first album from 2010 slightly. The thing is, I find that the magic is gone. Slash was arguably his best with the original gunners! Nothing on this album, to me, comes close to stuff like Estranged, November Rain and Don't Cry. It's not bad, just mediocre. Fun album cover though.
