Guns N' Roses FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the Bad Boys of Sunset Strip

Rich Weidman

4.9/5 (30515 ratings)

Description:Bursting onto the Los Angeles rock scene in the mid-1980s, Guns N' Roses turned back the tide on the excesses of glam metal and the banality of MTV-spawned synthpop by infusing the blistering hard rock of Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith with a punk sensibility that hearkened back to the onstage anarchy of the Stooges, New York Dolls, and Sex Pistols. In 1987, GN'R released the seminal album Appetite for Destruction, which shot to number one on the U.S. charts within weeks and, to date, has sold more than 30 million copies, making it the bestselling debut album of all time in the United States. Following their successful debut, the band released several studio albums to great acclaim (Lies, Use Your Illusion (I and II), "The Spaghetti Incident?"), but their momentum dwindled in the early '90s, when GN'R's outrageous excesses and personal travails led to turmoil. The band members went in different directions, all except lead singer Axl Rose, who carried on through a series of lineup changes for years, finally releasing the long-awaited album Chinese Democracy in 2008.In Guns N' Roses FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the Bad Boys of Sunset Strip, Rich Weidman charts the amazing journey of the band, from their early West Hollywood club days to their 2012 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the reunion of three of the five classic band members during the 2016 Not in This Lifetime Tour. Weidman's treasure trove of facts, trivia, stories, and images touch on every GN'R topic imaginable, including the band's influences, first shows, most notorious concerts, opening acts, highlights of their seemingly endless Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion tours, bizarre TV appearances (like the time they destroyed the set of MTV's Headbangers Ball!), feuds, the stories behind their music videos, best and worst covers (Pat Boone, anyone?), and much more!We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
