Today as it has been a decade and since many new Rock bands have come into existence playing hard metal,soft metal,and other kinds of rock but nobody after the 9o's gave a blasting perfomance like GNR.
Well GNR was a band which besides rocking was always involved in controversy but still they managed to make the crowd bang on their songs.
The lead singer of the band Axl Rose who was raised in an Indiana working class family was a high school drop out and by the age of 20 he had obtained a criminal record for offences like Public intoxication,criminal tresspass etc. An ELO and a Queen fan the singer became fan with Izzy Stardlin and the two joined hands together and marched forward to form the band. On moving to LA they met Slash whose both the parents were in the music industry and had moved to LA when he was just 11 and with the bassist Duff McKagan who also had a Criminal record for stealing 133 automobiles and the drummer Steve Adler was also the part of the band.
These five freaky people with a criminal past together formed a majestical band which became popular through out the globe and made their name "Guns n Roses" famous .
With their album "Appetite For Destruction" which became the best selling debut album in the history they gained a stardom and landed their pictures in the Rolling Stones cover page.
Combining a heavy metal they played the music with full "Punk Attitude".
GnR invoked the incohtate emotions of the people and with punk attitude gathered a large number of white audience.
In 1988 with the release of their album "Appetite For Destruction" GNR remained on the top charts and with the wide exposure given by MTV "Sweet Chid O' Mine" rules at the number one position and "Welcome To The Jungle" at the seventh position on the Us charts for five weeks and it stayed on the charts for nearly three years.
Next came GNR Lies a top 5 album which also was a big hit...
GnR felt into controversy for the first time when two people were killed during their concert due to the crowd disturbance in England during the Monster Rock Festival..
In 1990's the band performed performed on a Farm Aid and contributed a cover of Bob Dylen's "Knocking on Heaven's Door".
Slash and McKagan played on the Iggy pop's Brick By Brick.
Slash recorded and played with Bob Dylen,Michal Jackson which gave a marvellous publicity and successs to the band as they became the first one to do it.
Later the band had started facing a lot of problem as Slash had given a shocking staement of Heroine use by Axl Rose,Stardlin and Adler who was later on fired by the band.
The following year brought a big success to the band as their single "You Could Be Mine " from the movie Terminator 2 proved out to be a massive hit and stayed on the charts at the 15th position.
But the sudden marrige of Rose with Erin Everly did not last for long as they were divorced after three weeks of their marriage.
There were many charges filed against Rose which brought the band into controversy again and one of them was physical abuse, but none was proved and Rose was not found guilty.
Later the band had started indulged themselves into controversy and had started facing problems.
Due to tension with Rose Stardlin left the band and moved with Juju Hounds. Clarke releasd a solo album "Pawn Shop Guitars" and finally Slash also left the band giving Rose the Name GNR and started playing with the "Velvate Revolvers".
But his reason to leave the band was due to the personal reasons with Rose
Now Axl Rose was the only one left but he still managed to re make the band and found himself lucky in doing so.
Only Dizzy Reed was the one who came along with Rose.
Now the new GNR had been performed and who had started touring through out the globe.
With their long time waited album "Chinese Democracy" they Axl Rose prooved the world that GnR was still alive or "Punk's Not Dead"
Today it has been more than fifteen years for the existence of GNR and still it has a large number of fans through out the globe but yet it lacks the magic of both Slash n Rose which was the main attraction of the band, still GNR rocks.
