Guns N Roses is a band. This band consists of 8 musicians (in order of importance): Axl Rose (vocals),
Slash (guitar), Duff McKagan (bass), Izzy Stradlin (guitar), Steven Adler (drums), Matt Sorum (drums after Adler left), Dizzy Reed (piano), and Gilby Clark (guitar after Stradlin left). Throughtout the
80s and 90s, they were the greatest band ever. They were ugly, raucous, dirty, sleazy, and intimidating. THey were glam with an ugly side, the bad boys of rock and
roll. But those guys can write.
From down your throat anthems such as "Welcome to the Jungle", "Civil War", "Paradise City", "It's So
Easy", and "Get in the Ring", to deep well written masterpieces such as "Locomotive", "Estranged", "One in a Million", and "
Don't Damn Me", to softer, beautiful ballads that were "Patience", "Knockin on
Heaven's Door", and the perfect "November Rain", Guns N Roses have earned the respect from millions and millions of
people world wide.
If a person who listens to such garbage as Fall Out Boy, Hawthorne Heights, or the All American Rejects had "Sweet
Child o' Mine"
blast into their easr drums, they would burn all their douche rock and buy a copy of Appetite for Destruction immediately.
1. If aliens came down to Earth and requested from me an example of Earth music, I would hand them Appetite for Destruction, by Guns N Roses.
2. Since the Guns N Roses of
today don't live up to their rockin
prime, Velvet Revolver is a decent substitute.
