FIRST OFF . . .

Guns N’ Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin is out on bail after being arrested in Phoenix for urinating in the galley of an airplane on a flight from Indianapolis. Phoenix police said Thursday that witnesses reported that Stradlin (real name: Jeffrey Dean Isbell) and a female companion were smoking in the nonsmoking section and were verbally abusive to attendants during a USAir flight last Sunday. The pair eventually were moved to the smoking section but continued to use obscene language and make obscene gestures at attendants, police said. When Isbell found the restroom occupied, he urinated on the galley carpet, police said. After the plane landed in Phoenix, Isbell refused to deplane and two police officers boarded to arrest him for creating a disturbance on an airline flight, a federal offense. The musician was booked in Maricopa County Jail, and the case was turned over to the FBI. Geffen Records, which releases Guns N’ Roses’ records, and the band’s manager declined Thursday to comment on the incident. Guns N’ Roses is scheduled to share a bill with the Rolling Stones at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Oct. 21-23.
