Founded in 1985 by Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin, Guns N’ Roses became one of the biggest names in global rock music, known for its raw, energetic compositions and irreverent style. Throughout its career, the band underwent several lineup changes but always maintained its revolutionary essence. Initially formed by Axl Rose (vocals), Izzy Stradlin (rhythm guitar), Slash (lead guitar), Duff McKagan (bass), and Steven Adler (drums), Guns N’ Roses took the world by storm with its acclaimed debut album, Appetite for Destruction. The band was also marked by numerous lineup changes over the years, with the addition of new musicians like Matt Sorum (drums), Gilby Clarke (guitar), Buckethead (guitar), among others. Over time, the lineup stabilized with Axl Rose on vocals, Slash on lead guitar, and Duff McKagan on bass, along with new members. Despite the changes, Guns N’ Roses never lost its raw and vibrant identity, continually reinventing itself without losing the impact that made it legendary.
