Guns N' Roses

Sunset Strip legends

Guns N' Roses is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1985, known for aggressive hard rock blending punk attitude with heavy metal musicianship.

Their debut album *Appetite for Destruction* became one of the best-selling records of all time.

The name combines band members' surnames (Tracii Guns, Axl Rose) into something suggesting both violence and romance: My dad saw Guns N' Roses on the Use Your Illusion tour.
