Guns N' Roses exploded onto the rock scene in the late 1980s with gritty, high-energy songs that redefined hard rock; frontman Axl Rose and guitarist Slash became instant icons. Their debut album Appetite for Destruction remains a landmark in rock music and continues to attract new fans worldwide.
In 2016 Axl Rose stepped in as the lead singer for AC/DC on tour when their singer had hearing problems, making headlines by fronting another major rock band on short notice.
