About This Track

“Brownstone” is a slang term for heroin

“Mr. Brownstone”: Slash relates that the song was written by him and Izzy Stradlin while they were at Izzy and his girlfriend Desi’s apartment. He states that they were sitting around, complaining about being heroin addicts, when they started improvising lyrics and music . When they had the lyrics all together, they wrote it down on the back of a grocery bag and brought it to Axl. Slash says the lyrics describe a typical day in the life of Slash and Izzy. He also states that it was the first song the band wrote after getting signed by Geffen Records.

    That is one butchered solo. Yow! No wonder it took Slash hours of extra recording time. Worst live guitar player next to Richie Kotzen.

    "dont do drugs, kids" - Why not? Aspirin, Advil, Coffee, Zantac are all drugs. Sigmund Freud was Coke addict and he is a legend. Jabbar was a pot smoker and is arguably the greatest player in the history of Basketball. Michael Phelps has never been the same swimmer since his bong was taken away.
