Los Angeles, United States (1985 – present)
Guns N’ Roses is an American hard rock band founded in Los Angeles in 1985. They are often credited for reviving the sleazy esque side of rock n roll.
They have released six studio albums, Appetite For Destruction in 1987, Gn’r Lies (re-issue of the self-released ‘Live Like a Suicide’ EP, plus four newly recorded acoustic songs) in 1988, Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II in 1991, The Spaghetti Incident? (Covers album) in 1993, and, after fifteen years and several lineup changes with only one member of the original lineup remaining, Chinese Democracy in 2008. They also released one “Live” EP in 1986, which was a collection of 5 songs that the band had been playing since their first rehearsal with an audience track added to make the demos seem live, titled Live Like A Suicide.
The band is often referred to as “the world’s most dangerous band” due to their volatile live shows. Stemming from the LA rock & roll underground in 1986, the band signified a shift in rock from slick hair-metal back to gritty, dirty, street-smart rock & roll. The ugly lyrics matched the sleaze of the music—driven by heavy blues licks—covering misogyny, violence, city life, sex, liquor, and hard drugs. They also, however, had a tendency to show sensitivity and a desire to break free from the city. Subsequent albums revealed an influence from bands in the vein of The Rolling Stones and Queen.
Their 1987 breakthrough, Appetite For Destruction, (which is the second highest-selling debut album of all-time) 15 times platinum, coupled with the success of the hit single “
Sweet Child O’ Mine” in 1988, took the world by storm.

@behindmycamel I think the fact that GNR's sound in Chinese Democracy is more or less complete different turns people off, and it didn't change for the better.

Legends don’t die, they just re-load, 4 those who talk the new guns old guns shit, shut the fuck up & stop bein stupid, The original Guns broke up after Appetite, After Adler left, so don’t talk bout Chinese Democracy as been a new Guns band, Just like Floyd and may other great bands of the past, Line up’s change the whole time, just a cycle, I love Slash, but he’s gone, move on. Democracy has a lot of fuckin amazing music on it. Music’s changed a lot since 1987 :)

I definitely love GNR more than Nirvana but, Nirvana didn't get popular just because Kurt Cobain died they got popular because they were a good band during the grunge era and they left their mark on music. If you're a true lover of music then you love it as an art form and you accept it in any form because art has many forms and interpretations. You shouldn't judge or place bands against each other that's like saying "The Last Supper" is better than "The Mona Lisa" it's just a ridiculous thing to do. Just be more civilized is what I'm saying.
