How has Guns N' Roses influenced music?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They gave an edge of attitude never before seen and started a trend of sweaty, dirty Rock N Roll that was almost lost. No one has suceeded and copying them so far. They got ME playing guitar.

Guns N' Roses rocked the entire music industry in the early 90's with a gritty brand of hard rock that seemed to impact listeners like no other mainstream bands of the day- and not since the likes of the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, and of course, Led Zeppelin. Slash was quoted in the late 80's as saying, "we were the right band in the right place at the right time". This could not be more true as the mid 1980's were awash with the all-new glam metal or hair metal genre. Guns N' Roses sprang from this moshpit of glam without the look or glitz associated with hard rock at the time. The band successfully opened a door closed to young rock fans by the early 80's new wave heavy synth bubble-gum typhoon with their "real" hard rock sound. In the span of 8 fast years they transcended the music industry and headlined the world's largest venues before breaking up. The rest is history. The everlasting vibes left on the music industry by Guns N' Roses made way for today's bands by solidifying success with sounds like the heavy duty drumbeat (Adler, Sorum) , blues styled metal guitar (Slash), creative, Ramones tinted rhythm guitar (Izzy), and punk influenced bass guitar (Duff), and of course, a wildly talented, falsetto strong, and paranoid bipolar lead singer (Axl). These significant playing styles came together like never before (and never again) in Guns N' Roses. This band was the last of the great and big rock bands. The end of Guns N' Roses came with the wave of new grunge acts and a paradigm shift in the business... and they got HIM playing guitar. Not bad.

What is the meaning of rose tattoos?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

Personally, I own a tattoo with a rose.

My meaning for it may sound shallow, as it's linked to my past relationships.

I am a rose.

Beautiful, red, blooming; yet it dies quickly.

Like how men are attracted to me at the start, but then they start to realise the petals are shedding off. The thorns and prickles, they are in their flesh.

They leave me.

It also symbolizes how short-lived love can be, how superficial it can be sometimes.

And also how fragile it is; though strong, protected by thorns and prickles, love can fail.

A rose can have several meanings. It just depends on how you perceive it. A rose may symbolize a loved one, a love for nature, your favorite flower, etc. Or you may even have a rose tattoo for aesthetic reasons. There's no single answer to it. The symbolism depends on the owner of the tattoo.

According to the website celebheights.com Slash is 5'10" but it's not a confirmed stat, in other words the info did not come from the man himself or reported by a known/trustworthy source, it's speculation. Anyway he does look 5'10" - 5'11" to me.

Asked by Wiki User

No it is Axl Rose they look similar! Poison began their journey in 1983 under the name Paris and consisted of lead vocalist Bret Michaels, guitarist C.C. Deville, bassist Bobby Dall, and drummer Rikki Rockett. Moving to Los Angeles on March 6, 1984, they started playing big clubs and several other clubs. The name Poison was picked by the band after seeing Spinal Tap.

When did Steven Adler get fired from Guns N Roses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Actually, Steven Adler was fired on July 11th, 1990, allegedly due to drug/alcohol abuse. This is somewhat ironic as every member of the band used some form of drugs and alcohol throughout their career. Steven went on to perform with them for Farm Aid IV in Indiana.

In October of 1991, Adler filed a lawsuit against GN'R claiming they had caused his drug/alcohol addiction. This issue wasn't settled until 1993.

How did guns n roses break up?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

they didn't...
They broke up in 1990 just after their 'Appetite For Destruction' album. A great album. but Slash (the guitarist) is doing a solo career and frequently does singles with other artists.

No; they never 'broke up'. The 'classic Guns' period is generally cited as being 86-90; the band remained steady except for the addition of Dizzy Reed on keyboards and the substitution of Matt Sorum for Steven Adler on drums. In 90, Izzy Stradlin left soon after Use Your Illusions was released, which spelled the beginning of the end. Guns managed to get a covers album out before the revolving door started following the gradual departures of Slash, Duff and Sorum. Those three are currently in Velvet Revolver, with Slash guesting on albums and Duff touring with his solo project, Loaded.
