About Guns N’ Roses

At the end of the eighties, Rock n’ Roll needed a sulfurous saviour to make it sound dangerous again, and this L.A. band of homeless drug fiends was perfect for the job : right place, right time. Their 1987 debut Appetite For Destruction sold close to thirty millions, and introduced Slash as the new guitar king, complete with Les Pauls, cranked Marshalls and top hat. The band broke up in 1993, but singer Axl Rose got a band of top musicians together and released the highly controversial Chinese Democracy in 2008.

After more than 20 years, the band is back together. Singer Axl Rose and guitarist Slash played together in public at the Troubadour, in West Hollywood on April 1st.
