In Part 2 of our Rockers to Doctors deep dive, Nova Starwick and Dorian Prescott follow Guns N' Roses into the chaos of 1996.

At The Compound, Axl, Slash, Duff, Matt, and Dizzy tried to pull together a new album—but instead created a vault full of unreleased demos, legal drama, and endless tension. From $3,000-a-day studio sessions with no vocals, to Axl's late-night arrivals, to the infamous fax to MTV announcing Slash's departure, this was the end of an era.

Fans still debate: were these sessions the lost Use Your Illusion III… or the blueprint for Chinese Democracy?
