Guns 'n Roses was an american metal band that came out of LA in 1985. The original lineup consisted of:

The name was derived from the names of two previous projects L.A. Guns and Hollywood Roses. The line up as above released 3 albums

and then trouble starts... Adler was kicked out for his heroin habit.

In 1990 GnR goes back to the studio with new drummer Matt Sorum, and keyboardist Dizzy Reed. IN 1991 they release Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, which debuted as #2 and #1 on the charts.

Then Izzy quits and is replaced by Gilby Clarke, GnR go on a 28 month long world tour including the Freddy Mercury tribute. While this was happening "November Rain" was the most requested video on Mtv and eventually won a VMA for best cinematography.

In 1993 GnR released a collection of punk covers entitled The Spaghetti Incident Which, because grunge had started taking over, sold poorly. Over the next couple of years the band disintegrated and Axl became the sole owner of the Guns 'n Roses name. In this time there was a lot of drama and the band just kinda fell appart, everyone seemed to hate Axl, and Gnr went through like 4 guitarists.

In 1998 Axl went back into the studio, accompanied by;

And in 1999 came out with 1 new song, "Oh my God" which went on the End of Days soundtrack. They are supposed to come out with a new album called Chinese Democracy, but thats been delayed over a year, they have been dropped by Interscope and well, not too many people care anymore.
