"Bad Obsession" is track seven on the album. It was written by Izzy Stradlin and West Arkeen. The song is about tackling drug abuse and addiction, which had haunted the band since they had become famous. Michael Monroe, lead singer of Hanoi Rocks and a big influence on Guns N' Roses, plays the harmonica and tenor saxophone on the studio version, which is 5:28 long.
A live version from the Tokyo Dome was featured on the Use Your Illusion 1 DVD as song number six and Axl Rose takes a dig at Izzy by saying "This a song that we wrote about one year before Mr. Brownstone with the help of our friend West Arkeen and some guy that just, I don't know, his name just escapes me."
