One of rocks greatest bands. They brought a fresh new sound and look to the 80's rock mainstream that was, at that time, dominated by hair bands and men that dressed like they were women. Guns N' Roses were known as "one of rocks most dangerous bands" and they lived there life on the edge. They were a great band that, sadly, couldn't make it last by letting ego's and creative differences tear them apart.
Slash: an awesome guitar player, one of the best.
Axl Rose: he might have been volitile but he said what he felt and told people what what he wanted them to hear. (lead singer)
Duff McKagan: a great bass player, a multi-instrumentalist.
Steven Adler: first drummer
Matt Sorum: Second drummer, took over the position after Steven was kicked out due to his problems with drugs.
Izzy Stradlin: rhythm guitarist (quit the band, later replaced by Gilby Clark)
Dizzy Reed: keyboards (not a member of the original lineup, joined the band on their third album)

the BEST band in the world even tho they were around ages ago. They were not racist but just said what they think all the time which set them apart from all the truly rubbish bands we have around now. They conisted on W.Axl rose{vocals}, Slash{lead Guitars}, Izzy Stradlin{Rythm guitars}, Duff Mckagan{bass} and steven adler{drums}. They broke up because Axl is abit of an asshole.We do love u axl all the same but u did break them up single handedly. When they all broke up they all kinda kept in touch {except for axl} and they now all have solo projects and we have the brilliant Velvet revolver!!!!!
guns n' roses rule!!!!!!!!!

Guns n' roses is the best band ever, many people have dissed it along with many other great rock bands of the time, but that just tells you that those people enjoy reggae music and probably know nothing about real rock n roll, to truly appreciate this band you need to be a musician and then can see the enormous talent that was around for 6 of the longest years
to all those bitch ass people who like pop mainstream music and dont like guns n' roses, i suggest you write some songs and well see if your first album sells over 20 million copies

rocket queen, sweet child o' mine, welcome to the jungle, you could be mine (awesome intro with wah wah),
slash's solos will forever remain among the best in the world especially sweet child which gives me goose bumps everytime i hear it
The only thing i can say is axl was shit in use your illusions and izzy stradlin should never have left because he wrote most of the songs and gilby isnt that great, also steven adler was way more creative then sorum even though sorum might be better at drums doesnt mean that he came up with as gooder shit it just means that he can play faster

Endlessly introspective rock group of the late 80s' early 90s'. One of my personal favourites. Produced great rock ballad 'sweet child of mine'. Also recorded unforgetable rock tunes such as 'welcome to the jungle' and 'paradise city' and 'madagascar'. Also made epic videos such as 'estranged' and 'november rain'. Fans eagerly await the release of 'Chinese Democracy'. The overdue and over budget album which showcase the brand new gn'r line up, which features just two original members, Axl and Dizzy.
Your daddy works in porno,
Now that mummys not around,
She used to love her heroine,
but now shes underground,
so you stay up late at night,
and do your dope for free,
Driving your friends crazy with your life insanity,

Okay, so GNR truely is the greatest classic rock band ever, next to Led Zeppelin, with a bad ass reputaion. Now seeing as to the fact that they have the biggest asshole (next to my ex-boyfriend) in the world for a lead singer, they were hated by many, many people, such as my parents. I love them, partialy because the love of my life sang Sweet Child for me one day when i was horrified of life. But yes, back to the point, Guns n' Roses. I love them with the majority of my heart and wished that they had stayed together...

One of the only hair metal bands from the 80's to survive today along with Bon Jovi, though unlike Bon Jovi gn'r is known for more than 3 songs. They stand out from the crowd because of their musical talent and their innovative techinques. Their leader, Axl Rose, is the only orriginal bandmember remaining (unless you count Dizzy Reed, their original keyboardist), but the true heart and soul is guitarist Slash. The entire band, in all of it's lineups, has been good though. It once featured Buckethead, a guitarist who may be even better than Slash.
Their debut album, appetite for destruction, is the highest selling debut of all time. Their other albums have also been great, though appetite is generally seen as their best work ever.
They were known for sex, drugs, and rock n' roll to the letter, which didn't go well with the so-called moral majority, and their ways made some, like Kurt Cobain's fans, say they objectified women. This may be true, but they rock all the same. And anyway, "sweet childo' mine"'s words are based on a poem axl wrote for his girlfriend.
They are also controversial for their song One in a Million which spoke of "police and niggers" and "immigrants and faggots," causing many to flinch. But the people who call it offensive obviously didn't listen to the last verse "radicals and rascists, don't point your fingers at me." and didn't read the album title G n' R Lies.

Guns n' Roses is one of the best bands ever. They came from being played at 5 AM on MTV to huge success.
