Formed in Los Angeles in 1985, Guns N’ Roses have created some of rock music’s most recognisable songs of all time, including ‘Sweet Child O Mine’.
But the relationship between band's members new and old - both on and off the stage - has at times come to eclipse all that.

Guns N' Roses formed in Los Angeles in 1985 by Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin of the band Hollywood Rose and Tracii Guns, Ole Beich and Rob Gardner from L.A Guns. The newly formed group fused their respective names together to make Guns N' Roses. Before Tracii had even set foot on a stage he abandoned the project in favour of his former band. Despite the guitarist's pivotal departure, the Guns N' Roses moniker remained.
