Slash: "'Sugar Cane' is really new. It originally came
up in 2015, but at that time, it was just the opening riff. And we
didn't get very far with it. It was one of those things where you get
the riff down, pack up for the day and figure you'll revisit it at some
point. But we didn't touch it again until probably March of this year.
It was one of the last things we did during preproduction. I had some
ideas for the verses, and then Myles came in and had some great
melodies. He didn't actually introduce the final lyrics until we were in
the studio recording. But it came out great in the end."
Myles: "This definitely was one of the last things we did. But
I love the way it came together. Lyrically, it's about knowing that you
need to move on from a dysfunctional relationship but, ultimately, the
pull of biology and primal urges clouds your judgement. Once again, a
situation a lot of us have been in before!"
