One of the best bands to ever play. They continued the great hard rock tradition of AC/DC, Aerosmith, and Van Halen. In the classic lineup(Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff McKagan, Steve Adler, and later Dizzy Reed), they recorded some of the greatest songs in rock.
They set themselves appart from the rest of 80's rockers because while they understood that rock n' roll is supposed to be a good time (unlike the teenage-angst "rockers" that pollute the airwaves today), they also had unbelievable amounts of talent. And you can like Guns n' Roses and Nirvana at the same time. The gunners weren't hostile towards Kurt; in fact, Duff and Kurt met on an airplane and were friendly with eachother.
Unfortunately, Axl Rose could behave like a jerk when he got pissed (which was alot). Lets see how you'd be if you were brought up in a fundamentalist home where your stepdad hit you from the age of 2 and kicked you out at age 16. Plus, he's manic-depressive. He still is a great talent and can be a nice guy sometimes. Though his facelift and dreadlocks were a couple of pretty bad choices.
Guns n' Roses never were rascist in their music. People who criticize One In A Million don't have clue what they're talking about. Axl has said that it was ABOUT the rascism and homophobia in America, not in favor of it. Besides, Slash is part black and part Jewish.
Fortunately, Izzy Stradlin and Axl have reconciled their differences, and at least that much of the Appetite for Destruction-era band may be reunited. When Chinese Democracy is released, the world will finaly get some real rock n' roll instead of mall rock.

Guns n' Roses are a talented, creative, authentic band that came from being poor and obscure to being world famous, back in the days before MTV went downhill.

The period of time beginning at the end of the Use Your Illusion massive world tour. This period of time is still open as GNR has not retired.... yet. After UYIWT Use Your Illusion World Tour the band once known for comprising rock legends like Slash and Gilby Clarke, started to disintegrate. Axl Rose, the only member from the original lineup who is also known for his severe anger issues, started to have discussions with everyone for everything in the band. One by one, the band said:
THE FOllOWING IS ONLY A DRAMATIZATION!
Slash: (Infuriated because Axl Rose put Paul Tobias guitar over Slash's Guitar) Axl wtf is fuckin wrong with you man, I'm your fucking guitarist, I'm the best fuckin guitarist in the whole fuckin universe and you put this fuckin n00b to play instead of me, wtf is fuckin wrong with you sob!
Axl Rose: You fuckin asshole how dare you fuckin talk to me that fuckin way you stupid prick. You should be grateful I gave you a fuckin spot in GNR you moron you should be fuckin sucking my balls.
Slash: You know what Axl, fuck you, fuck your band, fuck your fucking UYIWT you wouldn't be here if it weren't for me. I am tired of this bullshit go fuck yourself.
(*SLAMS DOOR* Gets the fuck out and goes start a new project called Slash's Snakepit, which is very succesful).
Matt Sorum: (about Paul Tobias sayin shit bout Slash) Yo Axl how the fuck can you allow this fuckin n00b of Tobias to say shit about Slash? Slash made us famous man, Slash was the fuckin star of the UYIWT wtf you should kill that fuckin n00b.
Axl Rose: Well Mr. Bigshot I'm too good for this shit and I can tell axl rose wtf to do, this is my fuckin band, Tobias is my fuckin guitarist, Slash is no longer my fuckin guitarist, from the minute Slash left that fuckin door, anyone can say shit bout him even fuckin Tobias. But you are a little son of a bitch who think's "I'm better than Axl Rose so I can tell this bitch what to do". Well, guess what asshole, you are not. Get the fuck out of my fuckin band. From this fuckin moment on, your ass is fuckin fired.
(Gets the fuck out of GNR).
Duff McKagan: Hey Axl man, look we are cool and everything, but man, this aint the same without Slash and Dave so man I can't work like this you know?
Axl Rose: I have 13 words for you: If you want to fuckin leave get the fuck out then asshole.
(Leaves GNR leaving Axl Rose as the only original member of the band).
(Slash, Sorum, and McKagan grouped with Stone Temple Pilots' lead singer Scott Weiland to form Velvet Revolver. Band that at the moment is very succesful).
(Axl Rose thinks that he can still make songs like November Rain sound good without the members who made it famous and with his voice that as of 2006 sounds awfully bad.
DISCLAIMER: I consider GNR to be one of the fuckin best bands ever in the whole world. I like their work from 1993 to the past. However, when Axl Rose got greedy and cocky, it was then when all started to come down. I agree, Axl Rose is a great singer, and he was famous 'cause of that. But nowadays, his voice it is just not the same. Same shit with the current members. They cannot take Slash's, Sorum's and McKagan's place. Word of advice for Axl Rose: Die with dignity man, retire today, and be remembered as one of the fuckin best bands of the 20th Century.
Peace

Guns N Roses After 1993. I believe GNR was a great band until 1993. After this year, however, Axl Rose's ass got cocky and with a feeling of "Im the fuckin best and everyone can blow me". This led to the eventual downfall of GNR. The most similar thing that nowadays resembles GNR is Velvet Revolver. It is just like Rage Against The Machine. Three of the original members left the group to join Chriss Cornell of Soundgarden to create Audioslave, band which enjoys great popularity.

A good 80's Hard Rock band featuring Axl Rose as the lead singer that unfortunately was ruined by the fact that they're extremely overplayed on FM Radio.
Person 1: Did you hear any of Guns N' Roses' songs? They're so awesome!
Person 2: Yeah, except for the fact that the local classic rock station here overplayed November Rain and Sweet Child o' Mine 25 times today.
