The Career of  Guns N' Roses

Guns N' Roses is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1985. The band's original lineup consisted of lead vocalist Axl Rose, lead guitarist Slash, rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan, and drummer Steven Adler.

Their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, released in 1987, is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with over 30 million copies sold worldwide.

Known for their energetic live performances and rebellious attitude, Guns N' Roses quickly gained a reputation as one of the most dangerous and unpredictable rock bands of their time.

Internal conflicts within the band led to several lineup changes over the years. Slash and McKagan left the group in the mid-1990s, but Axl Rose continued with new members under the Guns N' Roses name.

The band's ambitious follow-up albums, Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, were released simultaneously in 1991. Both albums debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Guns N' Roses' "November Rain," a power ballad from Use Your Illusion I, remains one of their most iconic and enduring songs.

Guns N' Roses made a highly anticipated reunion in 2016 with Slash and McKagan rejoining Axl Rose. The "Not in This Lifetime... Tour" became one of the highest-grossing concert tours in history.

In addition to their commercial success, Guns N' Roses has been recognized for their impact on the rock genre, earning inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.
