Guns N' Roses

    

       Guns N' Roses (GNR) adalah kelompok musik hard rock dari Amerika Serikat yang berdiri pada tahun 1984 dan resmi pada tahun 1985 . Band ini memang nge top banget di era 80-an dan 90-an ,Mereka pertama melejit lewat album 1987 Appetite for Destruction Dengan singel Don't cry (1987),dan kemudian menerbitkan dua album berbarengan Use Your Illusion I dan Use Your Illusion II.Dengan yang paling ter kenal Axl roses lead vocal, Slash - lead guitar (1985-1996), Izzy Stradlin - rhythm guitar (1985-1991), Duff McKagan - bass (1985-1998), Steven Adler - drums (1985-1990), Matt Sorum - drums (1990-1997), Gilby Clarke - rhythm guitar (1991-1994).

Formation (1985–1987)

     Kelompok ini dibentuk pada awal 1985 oleh Hollywood Rose anggota Axl Rose (vokal) dan Izzy Stradlin (gitar), bersama dengan anggota LA Guns Tracii Guns (lead guitar), Ole Beich (bass) dan Rob Gardner (drum).

    Band baru ini namanya dibuat  dengan  menggabungkan dua nama anggota kelompok. Hanya dengan waktu singkat (beberapa laporan menunjukkan hanya 2 atau 3 pertunjukan yang dimainkan dengan Guns, Beich & Gardner), bassis Ole Beich digantikan oleh Duff  McKagan sementara kurangnya kehadiran Tracii Guns pada latihan  digantikan oleh Slash

     Slash telah bermain dengan McKagan di Road Crew dan dengan Stradlin selama tugas singkat di Hollywood Rose. Formasi  baru terbentuk  secara cepat, tapi tak lama sebelum memulai tur pendek, terjadi sesuatu saat tour dari Sacramento, California, ke kampung halamannya Duff dari Seattle, Washington, drummer Rob Gardner berhenti dan digantikan oleh teman dekat Slash Band Steven Adler.Dan akhirnya  disebut Guns N 'Roses.
