Guns N Roses be the biggest rock band in the world in 1991-1992 when their double album "Use Your Illusion" exploded in the market. With the formation when it was Axl Rose (vocals), Slash (guitar), Izzy Stradlin (guitar), Duff McKagan (bass), Dizzy Reed (keyboard), and Matt Sorum (drums). At midnight 17 September 1991 GNR become the greatest band in the world. Hundreds of stores opened until morning to sell the album Use Your Illusion consists of two albums. For the first time in history, the album was ranked first and the second best-selling album in the US Billboard.
Greatness and success of GNR at that time does not necessarily make them more solid personnel. What happens is when Izzy Stradlin surprisingly resigned from GNR in the middle of a world tour concert album Use Your Illusions (Use Your Illusion World Tours). Izzy was replaced by Gilby Clarke at mid concerts around the world. It can be seen in the video clip "Do not Cry", the clip was tucked a picture when one of his fans stick a sign on his back "Where's Izzy ???". Or other event just before a concert in Tokyo, there are also posters that read "Who's Gilby ??" Proving that GNR fans really miss the figure Izzy.
GNR fate changed in 1994. They are fighting with one another, often in rehab drug addiction, and the album The Spaghetti Incident? Failed in the market. Their rift starts here. After that they had gathered at a studio in Los Angeles to record a new album scheduled to be released in 1995. however, shortly after they were seized with a disease that is common in other bands: boredom. They are too rich that they think do not need to do anything.
Rose himself as the leader of the project of making the album, but he certainly can not lead. Incidentally the Geffen Records also indulge GNR. Thanks to album sales that bring in huge profits, they provide exceptional flexibility to GNR to write and record. When the GNR had released singles Sympathy for the Devil which was the soundtrack of a movie (Interview With the Vampire).
In 1996, Slash left GNR, followed by Matt Sorum (drums) and Duff McKagan (bass). Planning an album that never finished the GNR personnel escape. From the original GNR personnel (The Original Guns), Rose lived alone.
