G'n'R - Lies - Guns n' Roses Reviews

"G N' R Lies" came in 1988 as the follow-up to Guns N' Roses' classic debut album "Appetite For Destruction". This short release finds the Hard Rock band moving things on fairly significantly from their last release with them tackling social issues and trying out new approaches in the actual style of the music too. ...  Read the complete review

I believe that this was the first EP released by Guns 'n' Roses and came out before their classic debut album, Appetite For Destruction. Of course, Guns 'n' Roses new album, Chinese Democracy is officialy released next week and I'm sure we're going to see another classick rock group hit number one in the UK album charts! I'm also sure that the ...  Read the complete review

Seen as a stopgap between appetite and the illusion records, it would be wrong to overlook this EP as a filler. It has some of the rawest (reckless life), most melodic (patience) and controversial (one in a million) tracks GnR ever cut. The first half is set to a fake crowd to make it sound like a live recording and features two orginals, the ...  Read the complete review

Guns and Roses were more than a band to me. They represented a state of mind. They happened at a time in my life, which was full of the usual teenage angst, the whirling hormones and a feverish love of rock music combined to make them, to me at least, the most important thing on the planet at that time 88-91. After the sublime and ...  Read the complete review

In December 1986 Guns N' Roses released the EP 'Live ?!*@ Like A Suicide' on their own label UZI Suicide. Only 25000 copies of the EP were made and it contained just four songs, two of which were covers. When the band became successful following the ...  Read the complete review

Aah, a wander down the lane that we call memory, how nice to see that little changes and some music will always be as exciting and as great to listen to as always. I have to admit it - I loved, I still love and will continue to love Guns 'n' Roses for quite a while to come. Their Rock 'n' Roll lifestyle, the hippy looking ...  Read the complete review

Guns N’ Roses, one of the most notorious rock bands of the late 80’s and early 90’s were raw, aggressive, angry, artistic, talented and thought provoking, and they really did rock! At this point in their history, the bad had its original lineup of: Axl Rose – Vocals Slash – Guitars Izzy ...  Read the complete review

I'm sure that since Live Era was released in the early months of this year that a lot of people are comparing it to Lies. This is very unfair seeing as Lies represents the bands early phase long before they recorded the Use Your Illusion albums. Live Era is all about big hit songs performed in front of huge audiences mainly on their Illusion ...  Read the complete review

In 1986, under their own label Uzi Suicide, Guns N’ Roses released their first EP, Live ?!*@ Like A Suicide. Only a few thousand were ever made, and later, after Appetite for Destruction propelled the band to fame, the EP began to sell for thousands of dollars. In order to make the tracks available to fans who may not have the ludicrous ...  Read the complete review

After making such an impact on the music world with the brilliant Appetite For Destruction, many wondered how Guns N Roses would follow it up. GNR Lies is the answer. This album is essentially a great exaple of how Guns 'N' Roses used to be, before certain members left and Axl took over. The first 4 tracks on this album are all live tracks ...  Read the complete review
