Guns n' Roses

With over 80 full-colour illustrationsThis lively Magna Book, bursting with vibrant full-colour photographs, is a tribute to the 'Most Dangerous Band in the World' - Guns N' Roses.One of the most dynamic and exciting bands of modern times, Guns N' Roses first burst onto the world stage in 1988, some three years after two LA groups, Hollywood Rose (featuring Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin) and LA Roses (with Tracii Guns), became one.Finding mammoth success with their first album, Appetite for Destruction , and the single 'Sweet Child O' Mine,' in the autumn of 1988 Guns N' Roses had made it to the top. Their powerful live shows, aggressive and controversial lifestyles, and potent blend of heavy metal and punk have inspired legions of fans and reporters ever since.Stories of alleged drug problems, rifts in the band and violence at concerts have fuelled many rumours and kept Guns N' Roses in the headlines. Despite the apparent problems, and several changes in personnel, the band successfully released two albums simultaneously - Use Your Illusion I and II - in late 1991.Telling the whole story of the creation of this dangerous band, its members, its changes, their life on the road, and their rise to mega-stardom, Guns N' Roses will be welcomed by the band's legions of fans around the world.
