Okay, it seems like we’ve been waiting for centuries for Axl Rose to finally finish Chinese Democracy, and there has been a revolving lineup of band members, but back in the day Guns n Roses were one of the most awesome bands in the world.
The band formed in 1985 and although there have been several members, the key players include Izzy Stradlin, Slash (who is seen as one of the best and most iconic guitarists in the world) and Buckethead (who played with a KFC bucket on his head)
Their debut album was Appetite for Destruction which was released in 1987. This album included Welcome to the Jungle and Sweet Child O’Mine. Second album GN’R lies was released in 1988. Two albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II were released in 1991 and debuted at number two and number one respectively on the American Billboard chart.
In 1993 the band released “The Spaghetti Incident?” which was a collection of cover verisions. It controversially featured a cover of a Charles Manson song.
Axl Rose and the new lineup of Guns n Roses are currently working on latest album Chinese Democracy. The release date for this album is currently unknown, although it has been speculated that it will be released in 2008.
Guns n Roses have released five albums: Appetite for Destruction (1987), GN’R Lies (1988), Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II (1991) and “The Spaghetti Incident?” (1993).
