Biography

If there's a Hard rock group whose shines the most in the early 1990s, it might be Guns N 'Roses. 

It can be seen through a number of their songs are so often sung like You Could Be Mine which became the theme song Terminator II: Judgment Day. Unfortunately like any other group, GNR was shaken by a feud between its  personnel who were drowning in drug and alcohol use. In fact, currently only Axl Rose who survive while the other personnel leave because fired directly by the vocalist who is known to have a temperament explode to retreat itself. Finally, GNR's own reputation is further tarnished because under Axl's command, the group repeatedly fails to release the latest Chinese Democracy album despite repeatedly setting dates.

The latest news can be a good sign: GNR will return to the initial formation. The bombastic news for the first time was leveled by Steven Adler who was none other than the original drummer of GNR formation.

"I  have met Axl some time ago and have spoken up to the same morning to\ solve all the feud between us all the time." "I have thrown an idea to him so that old Guns N 'Roses personnel can perform together again because if that happens, will be the biggest reunion in music history.

When I said that, Axl just grinned and laughed. But make no mistake, the other (new) members are also just as enthusiastic as me. "" They immediately tried to persuade Axl and called that our best formation of all time. For this matter, I have spoken with Slash (guitarist) and Izzy Stradlin, and they are just as enthusiastic about me. Now it all depends on Axl. "

Guns N Roses became the biggest rock band in the world in 1991-1992 when their double album "Use Your Illusion" exploded on the market. With its current formation Axl Rose (Lead Vocal), Slash (Guitar), Izzy Stradlin (Rhythm Guitar), Duff McKagan (Bass), Dizzy Reed (Keyboard),  and Matt Sorum (Drum). At midnight 17th September 1991 GNR became the world's greatest band. Hundreds of stores opened until morning to sell Appetite For Destruction and Use Your Illusion albums consisting of two albums. For the first time in history, the second album Use Your Illusion was ranked first and second best-selling album Billboard version in the US.

But the greatness and success of GNR at that time did not necessarily make their personnel more solid. What happens is when Izzy Stradlin surprisingly resigned from GNR in the midst of a world tour concert Use Your Illusions (Use Your Illusion World Tours). Izzy was replaced by Gilby Clarke in mid-concerts around the world. Can also be seen in the video clip "Do not Cry", in the clip was tucked picture when one of the fans put a writing on his back "Where's Izzy  ???" and also in the video clip Live And Let Die in the clip also tucked poster pictured Izzy Stradlin and read "Missing !!". Or another incident before the concert in Tokyo, there is a poster also reads "Who's Gilby ??" (Guitarist who replaces Izzy). Proving that GNR fans are very lost Izzy figure.

The fate of the GNR changed in 1994. they were noisy with each other, often entering drug addiction rehab center, and the album The Spaghetti Incident? Failed on the market. Their rift starts here. After that they had gathered in a studio in Los Angeles to record a new album that was planned to be released in 1995. but, soon they are seized with a disease that is usually suffered by other bands: boredom. They are too rich to think they do not have to do anything. Axl Rose raised herself as the leader of the album making project, but she certainly could not lead. Incidentally Geffen Records also spoil GNR. Thanks to the huge sales of the album, they gave GNR a special privilege to write and record. At that time GNR had released the single Sympathy for the Devil which is the soundtrack of a movie (Interview With the Vampire).

In 1996 Slash left GNR, followed by Matt Sorum (drums) and Duff Mckagan (Bass). because of the album's non-stop planning, the GNR personnel broke. From the original personnel of GNR (The Original Guns), Axl Rose lived alone.
Axl Rose retains the GNR brand and recruits new personnel, an act that Geffen Record can not prevent. Even Geffen Record still believes that the new face GNR will remain enthused by the fans.
