The heroin bender that inspired a classic 1987 Guns N’ Roses song: “I was messed up”The story of Guns N’ Roses has always felt like a band slightly out of time. By the time the band started out, they were only a few days away from homelessness. Guns N’ Roses were hardly known for wagging a finger at excess, but here they accidentally wrote one of their clearest warnings about where that lifestyle could lead. By the time the band started to see more acclaim, Slash began to go too far down the rabbit hole. No one in Guns N’ Roses was a saint, but this was the beginning of things going haywire.
