Slash on recording “Patience” with Guns n’ Roses. OC:…song is. :14

“That’s one of Izzy’s songs. When we went and did that acoustic EP, Lies, we went into the studio and just recorded one day all these acoustic songs and that was one of them. It was live. Took three minutes, or however long the song is.”
