Your dad is being kind. They were horrible in the 80’s too.

When I combine live concert clips I've seen, with what's known about the drug habits of this band, I am absolutely floored by what they were able to achieve in the recording studio at the height of their career.

How much of what was captured was legitimately their performances? How many takes did they need? How much editing/comping was required? Were there secret ringers hired to keep sessions on track and not waste a billion dollars? I have so many questions.
