Kenny "Axil" Rose (Lead vocals), D.J. "Slash (Lead guitar), Joshua "Duff" McKagan (Bass Guitar/backing vocals), Terry "Izzy" Stradlin (Rhythm guitar/backing vocals) and Chuck "Matt Sorum" Johnson (Drums/Percussion) make Guns N' Roses. The grouping has ridden a roll of success and failure spanning decades, which is virtually strange in the Heavy Metal music scene.
Many fans of Guns N' Roses believe that Guns N' Roses is a Heavy Metal Rock band that is bigger than big and has a compendium of songs and hits not known to the Heavy Metal music scene since the Sex Pistols.
The lives of the band members have come under scrutiny of the public eye when the members' experiences with drugs and sexual exploits came to the cognition of the universal public. The penchant for generating negative press dims in the short of their breathtaking song-writing and energetic performances. Their 1987 album, Appetite for Destruction, is doubtless a benchmark that many other albums and bands have failed to step up to.
The renown of Guns N' Roses continue to shake the man of Heavy Metal music with the rancorous songwriting and Slash's vigorous guitar performances. Slash has been featured in various popular guitar magazines countless times and the ring itself has been featured on many other magazines, newsletters and newspapers.
Guns N' Roses popped into the music scene when the music scene was dominated by pop music and pop-metal and the next of Guns N' Roses seem blurry at the point. But they proved the critics wrong when songs many consider raw and an uglier version of rock & roll came galloping into the charts full speed. The members of Guns N' Roses are emphatically not known to do in an angelic way - and they've never tried to act in any other way, in fact, the members are known to be 'ugly', 'misogynist', 'violent'.but they are also known to be 'funny', 'individualistic', 'vulnerable' and sometimes 'sensitive'.
Guns N' Roses music is very basic and gritty - honest to a fault. They are everything true heavy metal music should be. Listening to Guns N' Roses, listeners will soon realise that their music can raise a broad array of emotions, from anger to sadness, from idolatry to hatred.
Guns N' Roses released their first EP in 1986 which grabbed attention of hard metal music lovers all round the world. The expiration of the EP led to their first debut album, Appetite for Destruction. The album didn't start selling until nearly a twelvemonth later, as the group toured and performed in numerous live shows. Only when care was granted by MTV by playing "Sweet Child of Mine", the album shot straight for the amount one spot! Taking opportunity of their sudden fame, they re-released their debut single "Welcome to the Jungle" and it instantly rocked its way to Top Ten. Other albums and songs followed including "Patience" and "One in a Million". They started work on their follow-up album in 1990 and it's in the same class that Adler was fired and replaced by Matt Sorum from "The Cult". In addition, Dizzy Reed on keyboards was also introduced. The recordings for 1 new album turned into 2 new albums - "Use your Illusion I" and "Use your Illusion II".
"Use your Illusions I and II" initially sold really well until Nirvana's "Nevermind" broke their successful stride. Rose took over the circle with a variety of position and as a result, Stradlin, one of the best songwriter of all times, left Guns N' Roses in 1991 and he was replaced with Gilby Clarke (Kill for Thrills). It wasn't until 1993 that the fans of Guns N' Roses could come to terms with the exchange because Stradlin had an important part to work in the band. Their next album, The Spaghetti Incident, did earn good reviews but it still failed to catch the kind of life that was manifest in the former years of Guns N' Roses. Guns N' Roses appeared to get missed their march and many thought that they were out of the run for good. The situation was further worsened with the loss of, yet, another band member, Slash, leaving Rose as the end of the original form for Guns N' Roses.
In 1999, the first original song in 8 days for Guns N' Roses, "Oh My God" was released and it was featured in "End of Days" film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The new card for Guns N' Roses consist of Rose, Finck, Buckethead, Stinson, Brian Mantia, Paul Huge, and Dizzy Reed. The new Guns N' Roses continue to act and perform wherever they can but they generated some bad press when other members of Guns N' Roses were Banned from watching their performances. Soon Paul Huge joined the card of EX Guns N' Roses members and was quickly replaced with Richard Fortus (former Love Spit Love). Fans and critics alike are waiting to see what the new lineup can get up with while the grouping of ex-GNR members continues to enjoy celebrity status.
