According to Wikipedia, Guns N' Roses' lead guitarist, Slash, stated that the song was written in the back of a rental van as they were on their way back from playing a gig in San Francisco. He says that the band was in the back of the van, drinking and playing acoustic guitars, when he came up with the intro. Slash started humming a melody when Axl Rose sang, "Take me down to the Paradise City." Slash chimed in with "Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty." Axl sang the first line again, where Slash shouted out "Where the girls are fat and they've got big titties." Axl finished with "Take ... me ... home!" Slash preferred his second line but the rest of the band felt differently. He was outvoted and they used the first line. The band then expanded upon the rest of the lyrics in rounds. Finally Slash wrapped up by coming up with the heavy riff that drives the song.
