 BIO:BIOGRAPHY:
Guns N' Roses (GNR) are an American hard rock
band whose dangerous reputation, controversial
front man, and technical prowess have made them
one of the most popular and acclaimed rock n'
roll bands of all time. The band's defiant 1987
major label debut, Appetite for Destruction,
gained them worldwide popularity while their
1991 second major effort, the simultaneous
releases of Use Your Illusion I and Use Your
Illusion II, and subsequent tour cemented the
band's place as a heavily influential member of
rock and roll history.
Guns
N' Roses helped usher in a new era in the hard
rock genre. Glam metal dominated the airwaves in
the late 1980s, but GNR's new musical style and
onstage behavior created a new kind of movement
within the music industry, as they offered a
grittier, more traditionalist take on rock n'
roll, winning over many fans who appreciated
their authenticity. The band obtained an
enormous amount of success during the period of
1987-1993, but the personalities of different
band members, coupled with their heavy drug
abuse and the controversial actions of frontman
Axl Rose hindered the group's ability to work
together. Rose is currently the only original
member in the now reformed band.
Guns N' Roses was founded in Los Angeles in March 1985 by Axl Rose and guitarist Tracii Guns, as an informal merger of Hollywood Rose and L.A. Guns, both of which Axl Rose had been a member, and the second of which Tracii Guns had been a member.[6] The original Guns N' Roses lineup included other members from both bands: from Hollywood Rose, Rose's longtime friend rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, and from L.A. Guns, Guns's former bandmates bassist Ole Beich and drummer Rob Gardner. The band's unique style integrated hard rock, heavy metal, sleaze rock, blues and punk rock.
