Guns N Roses History Lesson - Sunset Grill & El Compadre Restaurant
Before Guns and Rose's became the biggest band in the world they were broke and nearly homeless. They shacked up in a cramped storage unit in Los Angeles behind the world famous Guitar Center & Sunset Grill, using it for rehearsal and for sleeping.
The Sunset Grill became immortalized in the Don Henley song by the same name. It is said that he came up with the song by his trips behind the grill to buy heroin from GNR member Izzy Stradlin. Not sure how accurate that is, because that song came out in 1985 so the timeline's might not match, but there may be some truth to it.
Here is the only video I could find for "Sunset Grill" .... I didn't look too hard.

The band's local watering hole was a local Mexican Restaurant called "El Compadre". Not much has changed in the restaurant since that time and a few of the waitstaff is familiar with the local GNR folklore. I know this because I'm there at least once a week badgering them for stories.
Below is a photo of the storage unit area behind Guitar Center / Sunset Grill as it looks today.
The white building is the middle school that a few of the band members have mentioned in their books. The kids playing outside during recess would wake the band up if they were sleeping. Most of "Appetite for Destruction" was written back here.
Today the Sunset Grill is home to a shitty stand up comedy open mic that I have been known to frequent. @chrisgehrt
