Guns N' Roses in general

I would like to tell you a story about a Rock Group called Guns n’ Roses ( You may have heard of them). The original line up, formed in 1985, consisted of Axl Rose ( Vocals ), Slash ( Lead Guitar ), Duff ( Bass Guitar ), Izzy ( Rhythm Guitar ), Steven Adler ( Drums). They started out their career playing clubs in Los Angeles and released their first EP “ Live?! 8@ Like a Suicide” ( copies of which are now like gold dust!), in 1986 with Geffen Records. The EP consisted of 4 live tracks; these were Aerosmith’s “ Mama Kin”, Rose Tattoo’s “ Nice Boys” and two of the bands own songs ...  Read the complete review

Guns N' Roses are one of the most successful rock bands of the 80-90s. Changing from a "glorified garage band" to a highly successful artistic band, to a selection of hired hands and Axl Roses' ego Guns have gone through many transitions. Appetite for Destruction, one of their most popular and raw albums was released back in 1987. This album shot them to success, featuring famous singles such as "Sweet Child O' Mine", "Paradise City" and "Welcome to the Jungle". This album featured Axl Rose as the vocalist, Slash & Izzy on the guitars, Duff on the bass and Steven Adler as the drummer. The album shows the raw ...  Read the complete review

Izzy Stradlin’ and the Ju Ju Hounds. When Guns N’ Roses finally made it big, Izzy Stradlin’ was too stoned to notice. Already heavily into drugs, he may have noticed he could suddenly afford more, but in his permanent narcotic induced stupor, the mania that was going on around him, passed him by.

Izzy did the only sensible thing – he quit. While Guns N’ Roses never really recovered from the loss of such a large part of the ...  Read the complete review

Guns n' Roses are without a doubt one of the best rock bands ever. Loud guitars and Axls angry lyrics are the perfect combination. They first made the big with the unforgetable Sweet Child O' Mine, which is one of the best rock songs ever. After the massive album Appetite for destruction, came the double albums Use Your Illusion 1 & 2, released on the same day and a marathon world tour saw album sales rocket into the 30 millions. They were the biggest rock band in the world, but after the Spaghetti Incident, (an album of covers,) it all started going wrong. Arguments about drug abuse and the sacking of slash due to musical differences meant ...  Read the complete review

I was a horrid teenager, so horrid in fact my parents threw me out when I was 16. This might have been partly due to all the heavy metal I subjected them to. I discovered Guns and Roses when I was 13 and I was a convert. From then onwards I think I have always been a social deviant. Even though as a rather naive girl of 14 I didn’t have a clue about what half of the lyrics meant I knew what I liked, and what I liked was loud offensive and aggressive music. GnR gave so much to the youth of the time and we were hungry for it. at that time the metal or rock scene was stagnating, Iron maiden where showing signs of being long in the tooth. Bon jovi where out ...  Read the complete review
