64 - Guns 'N Roses



'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain


At number 64 is 80's rock band, Guns 'N Roses. It should be known that their addition is for their work pre-"Spagheti Incident", and does not even take into account "Chinese Democracy". And Axl Rose is probably the lead singer on this list I hate the most. That being said, they are pretty sick.

Wiki - Guns N' Roses (sometimes abbreviated as GN'R or GnR) is an American hard rock band. The band formed in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California in 1985. The band, led by frontman and co-founder Axl Rose (born William Bruce Rose[7]), has gone through numerous line-up changes and controversies since its formation; the current lineup comprises vocalist Rose, guitarists Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, DJ Ashba and Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, drummer Frank Ferrer and keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman. The band has released six studio albums, three EPs and one live album during its career.

The band has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, including over 46 million in the United States. The band's 1987 major label debut album Appetite for Destruction has sold in excess of 28 million copies worldwide and reached number one on the United States Billboard 200. In addition, the album charted three Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Sweet Child o' Mine" which reached number one. The 1991 albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II debuted on the two highest spots on the Billboard 200 and have sold a combined 14 million copies in the United States alone and 35 million worldwide. After over a decade of work, the band released their follow-up album, Chinese Democracy, in 2008.

Their mid-to-late eighties and early nineties years have been described by individuals in the music industry as the period in which "they brought forth a hedonistic rebelliousness and revived the punk attitude-driven hard rock scene, reminiscent of the early Rolling Stones."

Slash is one BAMF. Guns 'N Roses always came on the radio station I would listen to at work a lot, and sing in their over-the-top fashion. Usually I would change up the lyrics because it was more fun and kept my sanity, which I clearly still maintain... A sample looks like this:

"Welcome to Giuseppes,
Sh!t changes day by day.
If you want food you're gonna wait,
That's the price you gotta pay.
And we have very sexy girls,
Very hard to please.
You can taste a Chick Parm,
But you won't get it for free."

OK, now listen to the real thing.
