0 GUN'S N ROSES

Kisah GUNS N' ROSES

Awal lahirnya band ini saat Izzy bersama Axl membentuk band dengan nama Hollywood Rose. perkembangan band ini kurang bagus, maka Izzy memutuskan untuk pindah ke LA untuk berkakir dalam musik, setahun kemudian Axl menyusul. di LA pun nasib mereka tidak lantas membaik, akhirnya Axl lebih banyak membantu band LA Guns yang dimotori oleh Tracii Guns.

Keinginan Axl untuk membentuk band yang hebat semakin kuat, dia lantas menarik beberapa personel dari LA Guns dan akhirnya namanyapun dirubah menjadi Guns N' Roses pada tahun 1985. dengan formasi awal Axl-Izzy-Tracii-Rob-Duff, band ini tidak bertahan lama,Tracii dan Rob memutuskan untuk kembali ke LA Guns, disaat posisi lead dan drum sedang kosong, duff merekomendasikan Slash dan Steven Adler untuk bergabung. Slash dan Steven pun setuju untuk bergabung. Inilah awal kejayaan dari Guns N' Roses.

Perlahan namun pasti GNR semakin berkibar di pentas Rock N' Roll dunia. Album Appetite for Destruction meraih sukses luar biasa. Beberapa tur dunia pun mereka gelar, setelah merilis AFD, mereka merilis album Lies dimana materi lagu berisi rekaman live (Album EP sebelum AFD) dan akustik. Album ini pun mengikuti sukses AFD. namun GNR tidak hanya tenar dari lagu2nya, cerita2 dialam tubuh band itu sendiri selalu menjadi headline di media massa. band ini lantas dijuluki "The most dangerous band in the world", julukan ini bukannya tidak beralasan, perjalanan karir mereka sering diwarnai dengan catatan2 hitam dari masing2 personil.

Rocker2 bengal ini selalu membuat kisah kontroversi yang lambat laun menguatkan bad image mereka dan band.namun mereka tetaplah para rocker brilian, ini dibuktikan dengan lagu2 mereka yang sukses di pasaran. Puncak kejayaan dari Guns N' Roses adalah pada saat mereka merilis double album "Use your Illusion 1 & 2". bayangkan saja hari pertama album mereka dirilis, seluruh toko kaset di amerika khususnya New York memutuskan buka hingga 24 jam, dan beberapa tempat mengalami antrian panjang untuk membeli album baru mereka. Album UYI semakin mengokohkan mereka di dunia musik Rock.

Namun sebelum UYI dirilis, Izzy memutuskan untuk keluar, yang menyebabkan jebloknya penjualan album mereka berikutnya yaitu Spaghetti Incident.Band ini semakin tidak jelas, masing-masing personil sibuk dengan urusan masing2 dan kelakuan Axl makin sulit dikontrol, dan akhirnya para personel lain memutuskan untuk cabut dari band...tinggallah Axl sendiri meneruskan GNR dan disinilah perjuangan Axl seorang diri untuk bisa membangun kembali Guns N' Roses.

Penggarapan album baru GNR Chinese Democracy yang dimulai tahun 1996 belum kelar.Album ini sudah mengalami banyak perubahan baik dari segi musikalitas dan personel bahkan produser. kemunculan mereka kembali di pentas panggung dimulai pada festival Rock In Rio 3 di Brazil 2001,mereka tampil dengan formasi baru.setelah itu mereka mencoba tampil lagi dibeberapa tempat termasuk di New York.namun Axl sedikit mengalami perubahan suara.dia kehilangan ciri khas suaranya yang serak melengking khas Axl.dan Axl pun mengalami perubahan fisik di usianya yang terus menanjak.mereka tetap melakukan tur dan berusaha menyelesaikan album.

dan di tahun 2006, Guns N' Roses benar2 mengejutkan banyak orang. New Guns N' Roses has come. Axl terlihat lebih macho dan garang, dan suaranya kembali seperti saat muda dulu, beberapa penampilan mereka di tur Eropa dan Amerika sangat luar biasa dan mendapat sambutan meriah dari para fans. Guns N' Roses seakan-akan telah kembali ke singgasananya di dunia musik Rock.Axl dan Guns N' Roses datang dengan wajah dan semangat yang baru di tahun 2006. Setelah sempat tertunda selama lima belas tahun, akhirnya album CHINESE DEMOCRACY dirilis juga pada tahun 2008.
