Guns N Roses on the good and the bad

Guns' Roses is another group that's nothing new to show since the last century, but who enjoys such status among the former fans that they have sold their 40,000 tickets to Valle Hovin in no time. [19659002] G N 'pushed a little further the current poodle rope in the 80s, sparkled with punk and glam, a cocktail that the Finnish band Hanoi Rocks had discovered many years in advance and continued to claim when the new

Guns N Roses was the new sound of young Los Angeles decadent. The opening song of "Appetite …" and most of the concerts was "Welcome To The Jungle", a metaphor for life in Los Angeles. "I wrote about LA looking like me, if someone comes to this city to look for something, they can find something," said singer Axl Rose.

The first album had several songs that stood in the hard rock canon. In addition, "Paradise City" can be heard as an ode to the hometown. The most popular paradoxically became the closest that they came to the first time: "Sweet Child O" Mine, a serenade guitarist, to Axl Rose's boyfriend at that time. – Many rock bands are too crazy to show feelings or moods in their songs if they do not really hurt themselves. It's the first positive love song I've written, but I've had nothing so positive to write, explained Axl Rose at that time.

The first album "Appetite For Destruction" does not appear as a major event in July 1987. It entered the list of Billboard albums at number 192 in late August, and spent a year reaching the first square. In New Taks, he received a slightly reserved criticism. "Hardrock dumbbells with a few exceptions where it really fluctuates a lot," said the conversation. It is significant that Aerosmith's "permanent vacations" came the same week for a better reception. Two full years passed before the album appeared on the Norwegian sales lists. But now, Guns N 'Roses was getting very fat.

"The show usually starts around seven o'clock / We're on stage around nine o'clock" are on large billboards for the release of "Appetite For Destruction". A quote from "Mr. Brownstone". A song about heroin addiction, although she claims that it was about others, and not themselves. Guitarist Slash explained that playing in a band in itself was a job so difficult that he kept them on track. What this shows with "show starts" and "on stage" suggests in relation to the Norwegian terms "open doors" and "concert start" we will not say for sure, but it turned out to be a misery for GN & R; Few seen them on the stage required patience and you just had to be happy if they came.

The band's first concert in Oslo Spektrum in 1991 was canceled in the very short term. So short that the group was in town, except Axl Rose, who stayed in Paris where he would have lost his voice. In 1991, an appearance for 9,000 people was almost a small club job for the group. Before the concert in Mannheim, Germany, three days after the sale of 75,000 tickets, Axl Rose had the voice again.

The momentum was still at its peak when "Use Your Illusion" was released in 1991, two double albums, two and a half hour music at a time. A powerful experience then, maybe not so beautiful after all these years, but the spirit of the times could not take away from them. "Use Your Illusion" also had a pair of nods in a more sentimental direction, with Bob Dylan's "Knocking On Heaven's Door" and Paul McCartney's "Live And Let Die", but the first was in the directory since the breakthrough. Perhaps more unpopular among the elderly among us than with their young fans who had no relationship with these songs before. We will also be giving the group honors for the release of the 1993 Spaghetti Incident album, where they performed songs from his old glam, punk and hard rock styles.

Slash ended in 1996. Without him, Guns N 'Roses began to be a bad joke. The most talked about album of Guns N 'Roses in this article is "Chinese Democracy". First mentioned with "we do not think before we see it" in 1999, later about 30 times, in more and more sarcastic twists, all exposed and postponed, then postponed after many postponements , finally released in 2008. The band started playing again, but rarely at the appointed time. Without Slash, the status of the group dropped to the level of Oslo Spektrum.

Slash returned in 2016. The same year that Axl Rose stepped in as a singer on the AC / DC tour after Brian Johnson had to quit due to hearing problems. An indication of an ego might not be as big as before.

The big new version of "Appetite For Destruction" has 73 titles in total, 49 of which have not yet been published. It also contains the first EP "Live Like A Suicide", and the additional songs that were put in place when it was reissued in "GN" R Lies "in 1988." Lies "was an unofficial sequel to "Appetite …" as "just" sold five million copies. One of the songs here is however omitted: "One In A Million", where Axl Rose resolutely attacked Negroes, fagots, immigrants, the police and many others. Tried justified as the views of a single boy from the country who came to the big city, but not everyone was convinced.

The main part of the new version (also available on stream services) is 25 demos from 1986, from Sound City, the studio that was also the starting point of Dave Grohl's TV series on the '' ''. history of the American recording. It can be argued that the Roses Guns heard even more light here than on the appetite for destruction itself.

It is good for the group's reputation that "Appetite For Destruction" in the 30th anniversary edition comes a year later, but just as long for the summer tour. But Guns' Roses is also celebrating 25 years as a pure retro phenomenon. For the public, we hope that Axl Rose will not lose her voice this time.
