They were ugly, misogynistic, and violent; they were also funny, vulnerable, Guns n Rose occasionally sensitive, as their breakthrough hit, "Sweet Child O' Mine," showed. While and ferociously spit out dueling riffs worthy of Aerosmith or the StonesAxl Rose screeched out his tales of sex, drugs, and apathy in the big city. Meanwhile, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer were a limber Guns n Rose section who kept the music loose and powerful. Guns N' Roses' music was basic and gritty, with a solid, hard, bluesy base; they were dark, sleazy, dirty, and honest -- everything that good hard rock and heavy metal should be. There was something refreshing about a band that could provoke everything from devotion to hatred, especially since both sides were equally right. There hadn't been a hard rock band this raw or talented in Guns n Rose, and they were given added weight by Rose 's primal rage, the sound of confused, frustrated white trash vying for a piece of the pie. As the '80s became the '90s, there simply wasn't a more interesting band around, but owing to intra-band friction and the Guns n Rose of , Rose 's supporting cast eventually left, and he spent over 15 years recording before the long-delayed appeared in Guns N' Roses released their first EP inwhich led to a contract with Geffen ; the following year, the band released its debut album, . They started to build a following with their numerous live shows, but the album didn't start selling until almost a year later, when MTV started playing "Sweet Child O' Mine. Their debut single, "," was re-released and shot into the Top Ten, and "" followed in its footsteps. G N' R Lies' inflammatory closer, "One in a Million," sparked intense controversy, as Rose slipped into misogyny, bigotry, and pure violence; essentially, he somehow managed to distill every form of prejudice and hatred into one five-minute tune. Guns N' Roses began work Guns n Rose the long-awaited follow-up to Appetite for Destruction at the end of In October of that year, the band fired Adlerclaiming that his drug dependency caused him to play poorly; he was replaced by from the Cult. During recording, the band added on keyboards. By the time the sessions were finished, the new album had become two new albums. Messy but fascinating, the albums showcased a more ambitious band; while there were still a fair number of full-throttle guitar rockers, there were stabs at -style balladry, acoustic , horn sections, female Guns n Rose singers, ten-minute art rock epics with several different sections, and a good number of introspective, soul-searching lyrics. In short, they were now making art; amazingly, they were successful at it. The albums Guns n Rose very well initially, but while they had seemed destined to set the pace for the decade to come, that turned out Guns n Rose to be the case at all. Nirvana 's Nevermind hit number one in earlysuddenly making Guns N' Roses -- with all of their pretensions, impressionistic videos, models, and rock star excesses -- seem very uncool. Rose handled the change by becoming a dictator, or at least a petty tyrant; his in-concert temper tantrums became legendary, even going so far as to incite a riot in Montreal. Stradlin left by the end ofand with his departure the band lost its best ; he was replaced by ex- Kills for Thrills guitarist Gilby Clarke. GNR didn't fully grasp the shift in hard rock untilwhen they released an album of punk covers, The Spaghetti Incident? By the middle ofthere were rumors flying that GNR were about to break up, since Rose wanted to pursue a new, more industrial direction and Slash wanted to stick with their Guns n Rose hard rock. Rose remained out of the spotlight, becoming a virtual recluse and doing nothing but tinkering in the studio; he also recruited various -- including Dave NavarroTommy Stinsonand ex- Nine Inch Nails guitarist -- Guns n Rose informal jam sessions. Remaining members were infuriated by Rose 's inclusion of childhood friend Guns n Rose Huge in the new sessions when both Stradlin and Clarke were excluded from rejoining the band. And a remake of ' "" was essentially the straw that broke the camel's back, as Rose cut out some of the other members' Guns n Rose and pasted Huge over the song without consulting anyone else. BySlash was officially out of Guns N' Roses, leaving Rose the lone remaining Guns n Rose from the group's heyday; rumors continued to swirl, and still no new material was forthcoming, though Rose did Guns n Rose Appetite for Destruction with a new lineup for rehearsal purposes. Soon after, Geffen issued the two-disc Live Era: '' On New Year's Evethe band played almost the exact same set as the year before. An appearance at MTV's Video Music Awards helped garner interest in the new lineup, but a rusty performance from Rose and an interview Guns n Rose he said his new album wasn't coming out anytime soon didn't do much to further their cause. That summer, GNR started on their first tour in almost eight years, and they managed to fulfill all of their commitments in Europe and Asia. Sadly, they caused Guns n Rose violent and destructive riot in Vancouver when Rose failed to show up for the first date of their North American tour. And so years passed and still no new GNR album, to the point where it became one joke too many. The album was long billed Guns n Rose Chinese Democracy, Guns n Rose occasionally session recordings would leak and make their way onto Internet file-sharing networks. A fascinating article written by Jeff Leeds for , published in Marchrevealed how tangled and costly the making of the album had become. Curiously, Moby claimed to have been offered the job as well. Marco Beltrami and Paul Buckmaster were allegedly brought in for orchestral arrangements, and there was a revolving door of guitarists; left the band inand Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal eventually took his place. Inthe album seemed closer Guns n Rose release, as Rose began surfacing in public and even took his band on the road for some shows. The music industry's biggest boondoggle finally bore fruit in when Axl unveiled a record that was well over a decade in the making. While Chinese Democracy received many rave reviews, and the critical response was positive overall, the record underperformed its almost impossible expectations, debuting at number three on the Billboard when Guns n Rose came out in November. A worldwide tour followed. Bumblefoot left the group inand in July ofAshba announced Guns n Rose he had departed from the band as well.
