Aerosmith - Kiss Your Past Good-Bye

When Slash and Stevie Adler went to the ninth grade of the Hollywood school Fairfax High, Stevie switched to drums. (They also cut their wrists and connected their wounds, becoming, according to Adler, “blood brothers.”) A lot of show business families lived around and the school was full of talented children, so the guys quickly joined one of the two school rock and roll bands. (The other was played by the super-talented guitarist Tracy Ulrich - the future Tracy Hans.) But Slash and Stevie mostly skipped school, hanging out, smoking nonsense, sniffing poppers, jamming all the time and were absolutely sure that they were destined to become rock stars soon.
