a number of songs on the album were written in the band's early days and can be found on a popular bootleg album of early demo tapes known as "the rumbo tapes". "back off bitch," "bad obsession," "don't cry" (referred to by rose during the ensuing tour as 'the first song we ever wrote together'), "november rain" and "the garden" are considered part of this group. there is also a cover of paul mccartney and wings' "live and let die".
