Mr. Brownstone Appetite For Destruction Guns 'N' Roses

"Mr. Brownstone" is a song performed by Guns N' Roses. It appears on their 1987 album Appetite for Destruction. 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 ("Brownstone" is a slang term for heroin). 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.
Mr. Brownstone was the first Guns N' Roses single in the United Kingdom, appearing as a double A-Side, alongside "It's So Easy".
Velvet Revolver often performed this song live, along with "It's So Easy". This is because they are both popular Guns N' Roses songs in which Axl Rose's contribution to their creation was minimal and which are within Scott Weiland's vocal range.
In the lyrics of the studio version of the song, there is a pause in the fourth line:
Cause worryin's a waste of my... time
In live performances of "Mr. Brownstone," Axl would add a word to fill in this gap:
Cause worryin's a waste of my fuckin' time

I'm going to get some "Nightrain" from "Mr. Brownstone", he lives in the " Paradise City". After I'm going home to"My Michelle", she's my "Rocket Queen", she makes me feel "Welcome to the Jungle". Too bad she's "Out ta Get me" cause I told her "You're Crazy". Now I'm out here in the" November Rain" looking for a "Garden of Eden". "It's so Easy".
