Aerosmith - Chip Away The Stone

In early 1987, Guns N 'Roses, their team, management, label people, various hangers-on and girlfriends relocated to Manhattan to bring Appetite for Destruction to Media Sound Studios near Carnegie Hall. Everyone was delighted with the raw tracks that the musicians brought from Los Angeles. Some thought that Axl and Izzy’s latest song, “You Could Be Mine,” represents a potential first single. (She did not enter the album.) Many had hopes for Back Off Bitch, but she was not destined to become a single. “Paradise City”, with its bluegrass banjo and moaning about the house - “so far ... take me home” - was liked by absolutely everyone. "Mg. Brownstone, originally written by Izzy and Slash on acoustic guitars in heroin frenzy, has now turned into a dynamic, fast number with the explosive beat of Bo Diddley.In addition to these tracks, most of the acoustic compositions (for example, “Patience”), which were later released on “Lies”, were also written during that extremely productive period.
