It was late in 2008 when Guns n Roses released there long awaited album Chinese Democracy and now 3 years later the full scale Guns N' Roses concert tour was announced. The current lineup of Guns n Roses has lead vocalist and guitarist Axl Rose,lead guitarists Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal and DJ Ashba, rhythm guitarist Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboardists and backing vocalists Dizzy Reed, Chris Pitman and drummer Frank Ferrer.
Guns N' Roses had great success in it's early years but going through a mediocre existence in the 1990s and early 2000s and then re-emerging in the late 2000s. The record Appetite for Destruction was released in 1987 and had classic hits such as "Welcome to the Jungle," "Diamonds in the Rough," "Paradise City," and "Sweet Child O' Mine." It took a little while for the listening public to catch on but the went on fire with the video "Sweet Child O'mine" aired on television. This album remained one of the bands most popular albums to date and it featured many of the themes that would become staples of Guns N' Roses' work: crime, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. It is the band's most successful album, with over 28 million records sold worldwide.The band members originally included Axl Rose, who was the lead vocalist, the ead guitarist Tracii Guns, who was later replaced by Slash. The rhythm guitarist was Izzy Stradlin, while Rob Gardner was banging the drums. In 1990 the band added Dizzy Reed to their line-up with his talent for the keyboards. The band originally wanted to open for other bands but Appetite for Destruction became so popilar that their was a need for Guns N Roses to have a full scale Guns N Roses tour. After the Appetite for Destruction Tour, the band quickly got to work on their next album, G N' R Lies. It was another huge success, peaking at a cool #4 and selling five million copies. The album was very short for an LP-level work and contained only four new songs; the rest were re-releases of the songs from Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide. The album song "One in a Million" provided the first real controversy for Axl Rose, who was criticized over the use of racist and misogynistic lyrics. Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide, was an LP to tide fans over while they completed their Appetite for Destruction debut album.
Although Guns N' Rose went through many member changes, the lead members Alx Rose and Slash parted ways they did release several successful albums including"Appetite for Destruction," released in 1987, "G n R Lies," released in 1988, "Use Your Illusions 1," released in 1991, "Use Your Illusions 2," released in 1991, "The Spaghetti Incident," released in 1993, "Live Era 87-93," released in 1999.
Use Your Illusions- The song ultimately didn't cause any lasting bad press. The band was presented with different problems when they returned to the studio, however. Though they already had public drug and alcohol abuse problems these issues came to a head when recording resumed. Drummer Stephen Adler was particularly difficult to work with and He was fired in July 1990 during the recording of "Civil War" and replaced with Matt Sorum. Dizzy Reed had also joined as guitarist earlier in the year. This is where the beginning of many lineup changes that would happen and continued over the next 20 years.With Reed and Sorum on board, the band was able to continue recording. Guns N' Roses decided they had enough material to release two albums simultaneously in September 1991, Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II. The albums introduced blues, classical music, and country into what had been a purely hard rock style. The two albums were both huge hits and again produced singles that would become G N' R classics, including "Don't Cry," "Civil War,", "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," and "November Rain." The subsequent Use Your Illusion Tour lasted two years, but was famous for the departure of guitarist Izzy Stradlin, a number of sets that were cut short, and riots.
Following the tour in late 1993, the band released The Spaghetti Incident, an album of punk and glam rock covers. The inclusion of the Charles Manson song "Look at Your Game, Girl" caused tension between Rose and his fellow band members. The song's inclusion marked the beginning of the end for the original lineup of Guns N' Roses. The group attempted to create more material, and while they released a non-album single "Sympathy for the Devil," the aftermath of recording that song, among other tensions that had arose, led Slash to leave the band in 1996, followed shortly after by Sorum and McKagan.
Although the some of the original members were gone, Rose continued on with new members Paul Huge, Robin Finck, Tommy Stinson, and Josh Freese. Despite the fresh blood, the band was not very public for much of the next decade, only giving one-off performances. A tour planned in 2002 ultimately was canceled after Rose failed to show up for two shows, and causing ensuing riots. In 2006, the band finally launched a new full-scale tour with the then-current lineup, the first successful concert series since 1994.
