Document 15: Mr. Brownstone: "Mr. Brownstone" is a song by the American rock band Guns N' Roses, featured on their debut studio album, "Appetite for Destruction" (1987). Slash relates that the song was begun by him and Izzy Stradlin while they were at Stradlin and his girlfriend Dezi Craft's apartment. He states that they were sitting around, complaining about being heroin addicts, when they started improvising lyrics and music ("Brownstone" is a slang term for heroin). The lyrics make a clear reference to the tolerance that the drug causes in the verse that says:""I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do, so the little got more and more. I just keep trying to get a little better, said a little better than before"". When they had the lyrics all together, with some help from Dezi, they wrote it down on the back of a grocery bag and brought it to Axl Rose. Slash said the lyrics describe a typical day in the life of Slash and Stradlin. He also states that it was the first song the band wrote after being signed by Geffen Records.
