Background info:  
The band started working on this album in the summer of 1999 with producer Jack Douglas. It was originally going to be released in February 2000 on Interscope Records, but that didn't happen. Slash wanted to be on a record company which could promote a rock album. So he signed a deal with Koch Records.
