Guns N' Roses

Guns N' Roses are an influential American hard rock band founded in Los Angeles in 1985. They are often credited with bringing rock n' roll back into the mainstream during the late 1980s, resurrecting the styles of bands such as Aerosmith and The Rolling Stones during a time when hair metal and glam rock had been dominating the airwaves. When the band originally signed to Geffen Records in 1986, Guns N' Roses was comprised of Axl Rose (vocals), Slash (lead guitar), Izzy Stradlin (rhythm guitar), Duff McKagan (bass), and Steven Adler (drums). Since then, Guns N' Roses has been through many lineup changes; current band members include Axl Rose (vocals), Slash (lead guitar), Duff McKagan (bass), Richard Fortus (rhythm guitar), Frank Ferrer (drums), Dizzy Reed (keyboard), and Melissa Reese (keyboard).
