GUNS N’ ROSES

This band was formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1985, with members of the Hollywood band “Roses” and “L.A. Guns. Initially the band was formed by Axl Rose (vocal and piano), Izzy Stradlin and Tracii Guns (guitar), Duff Mckaegan (bass) and Robbie (drums). After this formation they launched an LP in 1986 “Live like a Suicide”. Tracii and Robbie didn’t show up for the concert so Axl called the guitarist Slash and the drummer Steven Adler to join the band. Then the most known rock band was formed.

This band was known as the most popular and controversial hard rock American band. The album “Appetite for Destruction” (1987) sold more than 20 million copies all over the world and the music “Sweet child o’ mine” was awarded a prize on MTV video.

In 1988 they launched “Gn’r Lies”, a remake of the first LP, with four new songs.

Adler was substituted for Matt Sorum (The Cult) and a little bit later they called Dizzyreed to play the keyboard. After finishing the recording they realized there were materials for more two albuns. “Use Your Illusion I” and “Use your Illusion II”.

In 1993, they launched the album “The Spaghetti Incident”,which was considered the worst . This year the band split up.

In 1999 the band launched the album “Live Era 87 – 93”. This album didn’t have any new song.

Years later, Guns N’ Roses separated. The Guitarist Slash, the bassist Duff and the drummer Matt formed with two other friends a new band called “Ulvet Revolver”.

Axl Rose formed a new Guns N’ Roses with other guys and a CD with the hits of the band was relased in 2004.

Since the album “The Spaghetti Incident?” the group promised to release an album with new songs. The album “Chinese Democracy”is ready, but so far Axl hasn’t released it.
