Possibly the greatest Rock N' Roll band of all time, compare Guns N' Roses to any band and they could hold their own, founded by Enigmatic front man, Axl Rose who’s name is an anagram of “Oral Sex” and guitarist Izzy Stradlin’ in 1984. Guns N’ Roses released their first EP “Live! Like A Suicide”, In 1985. Following the EP Guns N’ Roses were snapped up by Geffen Records.

Through 1987 the band toured vigorously, their fan base growing all the time, Rose was kicked out by his band mates during Feb 1988 but was reinstalled after only 3 days. Guns N’ Roses then released their infamous debut album “Appetite For Destruction” which would go on to sell 20 million copies and top the US charts a year after release.

Unfortunately two fans died during a show in Donington, England, in 1988. The band were saddened and shocked by the tragic event. In 1989 the eight-track album G N' R Lies was issued, which featured tracks off their first EP.

In late 1990 drummer Steven Adler was replaced by Matt Sorum. The band also added keyboard player Dizzy Reed for the 1991 world tour, where their exciting and unpredictable performances brought comparisons with the heyday of the Rolling Stones. Later that year, Guns N’ Roses released the highly anticipated Use Your Illusion I & II. Both albums sat at the top of the charts, with hit singles “Don’t Cry” & “You Could Be Mine” helping them along. Stradin quit the band and was replaced by Gilby Clarke.
