Izzy left GNR near the end of 1991, just after the first part of a world tour and after the album release, when GNR were the kings of the world. Obviously he was not happy anymore in the band. He wanted to work on a solo career and also he was now sober and being around a bunch of drug and alcohol users was not something he wanted. Did you know that Izzy returned with GNR for a few shows in 1993? He accepted to fill in for an injured Gilby Clarke. Izzy was one of the main songwritter in GNR with Axl and Slash, many people believe GNR started to die when Izzy left. There is some true in that: GNR never recorded original material after Izzy left.
