| While the 1980s Los Angeles rock scene
will forever be associated with pretty-boy glam metal, it also spawned
one of the most in-your-face, streetwise, and controversial bands of the
era, Guns N' Roses and Slash
Guitars. Axl Rose & company's roots lay in The Stones,
Aerosmith, and The New York Dolls, but they added a pop-metal edge that
brought them huge success. Criticized for its often non-p.c. approach,
the original band lost its members one at a time, until Rose was the
last man standing by the late '90s. |
