Guns N' Roses is an American hard rock band originally formed in 1985 by members of Hollywood Rose and L.A. Guns.[1] After signing with Geffen Records in 1986, the band released its debut album Appetite for Destruction in 1987.[1] All songs on the album were credited as written by the full band, composed of vocalist Axl Rose, guitarists Slash and Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler, while "It's So Easy" was co-written by West Arkeen and "Anything Goes" was co-written by Chris Weber, formerly of Hollywood Rose.[2] The following year saw the release of the band's second album G N' R Lies, made up of all four tracks from 1986's Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide EP and four acoustic-based tracks.[3]

Following a period of touring, in 1990 Guns N' Roses replaced Adler with Matt Sorum, and keyboardist Dizzy Reed was added to the lineup.[1] On September 17, 1991, the band released its third and fourth studio albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II.[1] The songs on the albums were credited to their individual songwriters rather than the band as a whole, with Rose, Stradlin and Slash contributing to the majority of tracks.[4][5] Other band members besides Rose performed lead vocals on a number of tracks, and the albums also featured a range of guest musicians including Shannon Hoon, Michael Monroe, and Alice Cooper.[4][5] Stradlin later left the band and was replaced by Gilby Clarke.[1]

Work on a follow-up album stalled due to creative differences and personal conflicts between Rose and other members; Slash and McKagan left the band while Clarke and Sorum were fired. In 1998 Rose, Reed, guitarists Paul Tobias and Robin Finck, bassist Tommy Stinson, drummer Josh Freese and multi-instrumentalist Chris Pitman started writing and recording new songs. Guitarists Buckethead, Bumblefoot and Fortus, and drummers Brain and Ferrer all contributed as the band's lineup changed. Their upcoming sixth studio album, Chinese Democracy (2008), was promoted with the expansive Chinese Democracy Tour (2001-2011). With Rose failing to deliver the album on schedule, Geffen released Greatest Hits (2004), which became the 8th longest charting album in the Billboard 200 era, reaching 631 weeks by July 2023.[1] The long-awaited Chinese Democracy was released in November 2008, featuring the title track as lead single. At an estimated $14 million in production costs, it is the most expensive rock album in history. It debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 with a generally positive critical reception. Slash and McKagan rejoined the band in 2016 for the quasi-reunion Not in This Lifetime... Tour, which became one of the highest grossing concert tours of all-time, grossing over $584 million by its conclusion in 2019.

After the band's first two rehearsals, Beich was fired and replaced by Duff McKagan.[7][8] The first rehearsal with McKagan was recorded and three songs from it ("Don't Cry", "Think About You" and "Anything Goes") were played during the band's first radio interview, aired two days before their first ever show at the Troubadour on March 26, 1985.[b][9][10][11][12] Around this time, the band planned to release an EP with the three aforementioned songs and a cover of "Heartbreak Hotel".[11] However, Guns left the band after an argument with Rose, and plans for the release fell through.[3] Guns was replaced by a former Hollywood Rose member, Slash.[2] Gardner, the last remaining L.A. Guns member to remain in the band, quit soon after.[13] Steven Adler, another former Hollywood Rose member, filled Gardner's spot.[14][15][c]

In December of that year, the group released the four-song EP Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide, designed to keep interest in the band alive while the group withdrew from the club scene to work in the studio.[28][29] The EP release was designed to sooth over the label, who felt the band did not have enough songs to record an album.[30] The EP contained covers of Rose Tattoo's "Nice Boys" and Aerosmith's "Mama Kin", along with two original compositions: the punk-influenced "Reckless Life" and the classic rock-inspired "Move to the City".[31] Although billed as a live recording, the four songs were taken from the band's demo tapes and overdubbed with crowd noise.[31] Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide was released on the Geffen subsidiary Uzi Suicide, with production limited to 10,000 vinyl copies.[32]

Seeking to record their debut album, producer Spencer Proffer was hired to record "Nightrain" and "Sweet Child o' Mine" to test his chemistry with the band.[33] The band eventually recorded 9 songs during these sessions, including "Heartbreak Hotel", "Don't Cry", "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Shadow of Your Love".[33] The band then recorded demos with Nazareth guitarist Manny Charlton.[33][e] Paul Stanley of KISS was considered as producer, but he was rejected after he wanted to change Adler's drum set more than Adler wanted.[33][f] Robert John "Mutt" Lange and Tom Werman were also considered, but the label did not want to spend the extra money on a famous producer.[33][36] Ultimately, Mike Clink (who had produced several Triumph records) was chosen,[37] and the group recorded "Shadow of Your Love" first with Clink as a test.[33]

In response to an interviewer's suggestion that replacing Adler with Sorum had turned Guns N' Roses from a rock 'n' roll band to a heavy metal band, Stradlin responded: "Yeah, a big musical difference. The first time I realized what Steve did for the band was when he broke his hand in Michigan ... So we had Fred Coury come in from Cinderella for the Houston show. Fred played technically good and steady, but the songs sounded just awful. They were written with Steve playing the drums and his sense of swing was the push and pull that give the songs their feel. When that was gone, it was just ... unbelievable, weird. Nothing worked."[110]

In 1992, the band performed three songs at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert.[147] Because of the controversial song "One in a Million", activist group ACT UP demanded that the band be dropped from the bill, urged other artists to shun GN'R, and the urged crowd to boo the group.[147] Members of Queen dismissed the activists, with lead guitarist Brian May stating: "People seem so blind. Don't they realize that the mere fact that Guns N' Roses are here is the biggest statement that you could get?"[147] Slash later performed "Tie Your Mother Down" with the remaining members of Queen and Def Leppard vocalist Joe Elliott, while Rose performed "We Will Rock You" and sang a duet with Elton John on "Bohemian Rhapsody".[148] Their personal set included "Paradise City" and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". When the band returned to the US for the second leg of the Use Your Illusion Tour, Rose had wanted the grunge band Nirvana as the support act, but lead singer Kurt Cobain declined.[149]

Initially, the band planned to release an EP of covers in 1992 or 1993, but decided to record a full album.[157] Their fifth studio album, "The Spaghetti Incident?",[158][m] a collection of punk and glam rock covers, was released on November 23, 1993.[157] The album features covers of songs of punk artists such as U.K. Subs, The Damned, New York Dolls, The Stooges, Dead Boys, Misfits, Johnny Thunders, The Professionals, FEAR, as well as T. Rex, Soundgarden and The Skyliners.[157] The lead single, "Ain't It Fun" featured Hanoi Rocks singer Michael Monroe as a guest vocalist.[160] The album debuted at number 4 on the Billboard charts, and sold 190,000 copies its first week.[161]

Many of the tracks were recorded during the same sessions as the Illusions albums, which were originally intended to produce three or four albums.[106] Stradlin's guitar parts were reportedly re-recorded entirely by Gilby Clarke.[162][163][n] Slash described the recording as "spontaneous and unpainted",[163] and recording the songs served as "a purpose to alleviate the pressure of making the Illusions records".[162] The band wanted to increase the profile of some of their favorite bands and help them financially via royalties with the tracklist selection, and considered naming the album "Pension Fund".[164]

Between 1994 and 1996, the band sporadically recorded new material. According to Matt Sorum, in 1996, the band had recorded seven songs, with seven more in the writing stages, and intended to release a single album with 10 or 12 songs in spring 1997.[170] In May 1994, Gilby Clarke said work on the next Guns N' Roses album had ended.[171] Rose said the material was scrapped due to the lack of collaboration between band members: "We still needed the collaboration of the band as a whole to write the best songs. Since none of that happened, that's the reason why that material got scrapped."[172] The album was described by McKagan as consisting of "up-tempo rock songs" with "no ballads".[173] Sorum said that It's Five O'Clock Somewhere, the debut album from Slash's band Slash's Snakepit, "could have been a Guns N' Roses album, but Axl didn't think it was good enough".[170]

A new Guns N' Roses album had reportedly been in the works since 1994, with Rose the only original member still in the band.[208] Several producers, including Youth, Moby, Mike Clink, Eric Caudieux & Sean Beaven worked with the band during the late 90s, incorporating new electronic and industrial elements to the music.[209][210][211][212][213][190][214][q] Rolling Stone stated that the label planned for the album to be released in late 1999.[214] By August 1999, the band had recorded over 30 songs for the album, which was tentatively entitled 2000 Intentions.[215]In November 1999, during an interview with Kurt Loder for MTV, Rose said that he had re-recorded Appetite for Destruction with the then-new band, apart from two songs which he had replaced with "Patience" and "You Could Be Mine".[216] During the interview, Rose announced the title of the upcoming album, Chinese Democracy.
