During the group's formative days, in the early 1980s, Axl Rose and his bandmates lived a skid row existence on the Sunset Strip, reveling in a life of drugs, groupies, wild street parties and music. Stephen Davis looks at the band's romantic, rebellious, self-destructive infancy, when the Gunners struggled to get signed and survive the rock-and-roll jungle.
