The guitar, which Slash also performed with onstage in 1985-86, was eventually sold in July 1986 and has since been exhibited at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

He picked it up from Guitars R Us and it has been retrofitted with Seymour Duncans, according to the listing. The guitar also comes with various documents of provenance and certificates of authenticity.

Meanwhile, Slash recently  said he doesn’t see a Guns N’ Roses biopic happening anytime soon .

In an interview with  Yahoo! Entertainment ,  the legendary guitarist was asked if he liked the idea of creating a biopic, where he responded: “I just don’t see it happening anytime in the foreseeable future.”

He continued: “It doesn’t mean that it won’t happen ever, because who knows? I can only think down the line so far. But I’ve never been able to envision how you’re gonna get… I mean it’s one thing to try and find actors to represent the people in the band, but the other thing is all sort of theatrical depictions of life in the music scene and the everyday life of musicians and all that kinda stuff.”

Trending on billboard.

Though the reunited band has not announced plans for any new music to follow-up 2008’s long-gestating Chinese Democracy , the Axl Rose-led group has been hitting the road hard over the past few years, including their three-year (2016-2019) Not in This Lifetime Tour and 2021’s We’re F’N Back! tour. But in an exciting tease, the release announcing the upcoming dates promises that they will be “unveiling more news and surprises soon.”

In November, GNR released a commemorative box set celebrating their 1991 two-album set Use Your Illusion with dozens of previously unreleased tracks and videos.

Guns N' Roses Announce 2023 Tour Across North America, Europe and Israel — See the Dates!

The rockers last hit North America in 2021

Guns N' Roses is hitting the road!

The rockers will embark on a lengthy tour in June that will see them play nearly 40 dates across stadiums, arenas and festivals around the world.

The band — which includes Axl Rose , 61, Duff McKagan , 59, and Slash , 57 — will kick things off in Tel Aviv, Israel on June 5 before heading to Europe for 15 concerts.

On Aug. 5, the "November Rain" rockers will head back to North America for 22 more dates before wrapping in Vancouver on Oct. 16. The band last hit North America in 2021, on its We're F'N Back! Tour.

For longtime fans, the end of each show will look a bit different, as Rose announced in December that he will no longer throw his microphone into the crowd after a fan claimed the move injured her.

"It's come to my attention that a fan may have been hurt at r show in Adelaide Australia possibly being hit by the microphone at the end of the show when I traditionally toss the mic to the fans," he wrote on Twitter.

RELATED VIDEO: Axl Rose, Alanis Morissette and More Deliver Emotional Performances at Lisa Marie Presley's Memorial

He continued: "Having tossed the mic at the end of r show for over 30 years we always felt it was a known part of the very end of r performance that fans wanted and were aware of to have an opportunity to catch the mic. Regardless in the interest of public safety from now on we'll refrain from tossing the mic or anything to the fans during or at r performance."

Rose recently celebrated his birthday with a heartfelt Twitter message to fans that thanked them for their longtime support.

"I'm very fortunate n' privileged to have such great friends, fans n' people in my life!!" he wrote. "I'm extremely grateful for ALL the people I n' Guns n' Roses r privileged to play for n' all those we meet, know n' work with around the world!! I mean that sincerely from the bottom of my heart n' don't take anyone n' their love, friendship n' support along with any of our success for granted!!"

Presale tickets for the tour will be available on Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time, while the general on-sale begins Friday at 10 a.m. local time at gunsnroses.com .

If you want to jam out to hits like “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “November Rain,” here is everything you need to know about their upcoming tour.

Where to buy Guns N’ Roses concert tickets

However, fans of the legendary band can also buy tickets on the secondary market, where seats are already listed. Look on sites like StubHub , Vivid Seats , TicketNetwork , TicketCity and MegaSeats .

Guns N’ Roses Announce Huge 2023 World Tour

Back to prove there's no such thing as too much of a good thing, Guns N' Roses have just announced a huge 2023 world tour.

It's been seven years since Slash and Duff McKagan simultaneously rejoined the group and Guns N' Roses remain one of the biggest (and one of the most lucrative ) concert draws in the world with Axl Rose , Dizzy Reed , Richard Fortus , Frank Ferrer and Melissa Reese rounding out the lineup.

See all of the upcoming tour dates further down the page. Tickets go on sale on Feb. 24 at 10AM local time here  and look for presale tickets to be made available starting Feb. 22 at 10AM local time.

This year has already been quite notable for GN'R and Rose, especially when it comes to the  Use Your Illusion   I  hit song "November Rain." At Lisa Marie Presley 's memorial service, Rose performed a vocal and piano rendition of the track and, three weeks later, the "November Rain" YouTube video surpassed two billion views , becoming the first '90s rock song to achieve that milestone.

Guns N' Roses: All 87 Songs Ranked

87. “one in a million” – ‘gn’r lies’ (1988).

There are two songs in particular in the GN'R catalog that are top contenders for the band's worst song. One of them is a stylistic nightmare, while the other is a racist/homophobic/xenophobic mess that was controversial when released over three decades ago. The latter is "One in a Million" from 'GN' R Lies.' It's so bad that when 'Lies' was included on the reissue of 'Appetite For Destruction' in 2018, "One in a Million" was omitted. Just look up the lyrics to figure out why.

86. “My World” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

Is Axl Rose trying to rap or put his take on industrial music? Perhaps it's both. Regardless of what exactly is going on here, this brought an underwhelming and bizarre end to an otherwise solid double album. While it only clocks in at 1:26, it's 1:26 too long. But hey, at least it doesn't contain hate speech!

85. “Look at Your Game, Girl” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

No one asked for a cover of a Charles Manson song back in 1993, and frankly, no one wants the cover now. The song was a hidden track on 'The Spaghetti Incident?' for a reason...or maybe reasons. Let's just move on, shall we?

84. “The Plague” – Sound City Studios Sessions (1986)

"The Plague" was a germ of an idea, but it didn't really develop past the 55 second clip recorded as part of the 1986 Sound City Studio Sessions. The band obviously had better ideas in the tank that they pursued and understandably so.

83. “Oh My God” – ‘End of Days Original Movie Soundtrack’ (1999)

"Oh My God" would be the first song released under the GN'R name in five years, with the previous being the band's cover of "Sympathy for the Devil" featured on the soundtrack of 'Interview with the Vampire.' Another soundtrack song, "Oh My God" sounds like Axl trying to channel his best Marilyn Manson but coming up short.

82. “Since I Don’t Have You” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

Give credit to GN'R for taking such a risk with this Skyliners cover, but this cover just doesn't land.

81. “Riad N’ the Bedouins” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

Believed to be about the then-Iraq war, "Riad N' the Bedouins" just fails to truly impress unlike other songs on 'Chinese Democracy.'

80. “Bad Apples” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

A lot of double albums could use some pruning, and 'Use Your Illusion I & II' is no exception. "Bad Apples" is definitely a track that could've been left off, and no one would really miss it.

79. “Down on the Farm” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

Look...this U.K. Subs cover is in no way bad, but Axl Rose's attempt at an English accent while singing is far too distracting to truly enjoy the song.

78. “Used to Love Her” – ‘GN’R Lies’ (1988)

Not sure if there's an award for "Catchiest Songs About Murdering Your Significant Other," but if there is, "Used to Love Her" would at the very least be in the running. The only thing about this song that has really aged well is its melody, which is still a solid earworm.

77. “Buick Makane (Big Dumb Sex)” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

Covering T.Rex's "Buick Makane" totally makes sense considering Marc Bolan's influence on glam and punk, but mashing the song together with Soundgarden's "Big Dumb Sex" is still a head scratcher all these years later.

76. “Perfect Crime” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

"Perfect Crime" follows "Don't Cry" in the 'Use Your Illusion I' tracklisting, and perhaps it was included as a quick pallet clenser after such a bombastic ballad. The song isn't bad by any stretch, but GN'R have plenty other songs in their catalog that are more memorable.

75. “Coma” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

Clocking in at 10:13, "Coma" is the longest song in the entire GN'R catalog. While they have plenty of epics, this one just struggles to hold the listener's attention.

74. “Don’t Cry (Alt Lyrics)” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

I took a "History of Rock and Roll" class in college, and the instructor said he wasn't a "big lyrics guy" and cared more about the musical composition of the song. If you're looking for a prime example of lyrics mattering, look to the alt. version of "Don't Cry" found on 'Use Your Illusion II.' The song is musically the same as the version of "Don't Cry" on 'Use Your Illusion I,' but the lyrics just don't land the same and it's difficult to ignore.

73. “Locomotive” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

"Locomotive" is quite the journey clocking in at 8:42. Fortunatley, there's some stops along the way in the form of guitar solos from Slash. (There's four to be exact.)

72. “Get in the Ring” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

If you ever imagined what Axl Rose would be like if he were a professional wrestler, just listen to the very appropriately titled "Get In The Ring," which is basically Axl cutting an angry promo on various music journalists. The lyrics seem almost right at home during "Attitude Era" WWE, but they're a bit cringy now, much like a lot of "Attitude Era" WWE.

71. “Shackler’s Revenge” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

The industrial influence is strong with this track, as is its incredibly catchy chorus. "Shackler's Revenge" was the first 'Chinese Democracy' song to receive an official release when it was included on 'Rock Band 2.'

70. “Breakdown” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

Banjo, piano AND the return of Axl's whistlling? There's something here for everyone! No really...there's even a spoken word portion of Axl reciting a monologue from the 1971 film 'Vanishing Point.' Bonus points, however, go to this lyric: "Funny how everything was roses when we held on to the guns." We see what you did there, Mr. Rose.

69. “Scraped” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

Axl's signature wail is on full display on "Scraped," as is the feeling of exreme defiance which is made pretty clear in lyrics like, "Sometimes I feel like the world is on top of me/Breaking me down with an endless monotony/Sometimes I feel like there's nothing that's stopping me/All things are possible, I am unstoppable."

68. “I.R.S.” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

Nothing says "jilted lover" quite like calling on the President, a private eye, the I.R.S and the F.B.I. in order to "make this a federal case...wave it right down in your face." Basically, if you ever wanted to get the feeling of what it would be like to have a messy breakup with Axl Rose, just listen to "I.R.S."

67. “Sorry” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

Notable for the guest vocals of Sebastian Bach, "Sorry" is super moody and makes you wonder who exactly pissed Axl off with lyrics like, "You know that I got under your skin/You sold your soul but I won't let you win/You talk too much, you say I do/Difference is nobody cares about you." Sick burn!

66. “This I Love” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

"I hoped she'd never leave me/Please God you must believe me/I've searched the universe/And found myself/Within' her eyes." Seriously, Axl...who did this to you?!

65. “There Was a Time” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

The 6:41 "There Was A Time" is a ballad with a hard rock chorus that also features some very dramatic strings and piano. To put it lightly, there's a lot going on here. Then again, that is kind of the overarching theme of 'Chinese Democracy' as a whole.

64. “Don’t Damn Me” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

"Don't Damn Me" is perhaps the most impish song about censorship ever. It's also punctuated with one of the most unintentionally funny lyrics ever: "Smoke 'em if you got 'em/Alright, that sucked!"

63. “Garden of Eden” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

Is it a rock song or an exercise in how to regulate your breathing while singing at a break-neck pace? Maybe it's both. Also, it's difficult to hear this song and not think about its fish eye lens music video, which was the effect of choice in so many '90s music videos.

62. “Street of Dreams” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

Four tracks into 'Chinese Democracy,' listeners are greeted to this grandiose left-turn of a ballad. Once you adjust to the sudden genre whiplash, it's rather enjoyable. The kids on 'Glee' would've sang the s--- out of it, and I do mean that in a nice way.

61. “Back Off Bitch” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

By time "Back Off Bitch" came out on 'Use Your Illusion I,' the song had been ten years in the works. The origins for the song are far more deeper than any breakup, too. Rose said of the song in a 1992 'Rolling Stone' interview, "I’ve been doing a lot of work and found out I’ve had a lot of hatred for women. Basically, I’ve been rejected by my mother since I was a baby. She’s picked my stepfather over me ever since he was around and watched me get beaten by him. She stood back most of the time. Unless it got too bad, and then she’d come and hold you afterward. She wasn’t there for me. My grandmother had a problem with men. I’ve gone back and done the work and found out I overheard my grandma going off on men when I was four. And I’ve had problems with my own masculinity because of that. I was pissed off at my grandmother for her problem with men and how it made me feel about being a man. So I wrote about my feelings in the songs."

60. “Dead Horse” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

Another woman done broke Axl's heart, but fortunately this time he gets pretty clever with the lyrics: "I was only a small child when the thought first came to me/That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son that brought back the devil in me."

59. “Pretty Tied Up (The Perils of Rock n’ Roll Decadence)” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

"Anything Goes" alluded to S&M, but "Pretty Tied Up" dives right into the world of kink and brings the sitar along for the metaphorical ride.

58. “I Don’t Care About You” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

GN'R's take on Fear's "I Don't Care About You" would've been the perfect way to close out 'The Spaghetti Incident?'. It's a screaming delight! But no, the perfect ending was mucked up with the hidden track of the Charles Manson song "Look at Your Game, Girl," which, once again, no one asked for.

57. “Black Leather” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

"Black Leather" was a deep-deep cut from the Sex Pistols that would later be recorded and released by The Professionals, the post-Pistols group formed by Steve Jones and Paul Cook. Considering the punk influence on 'The Spaghetti Incident?', it's no surprise a song like this made the cut. Jones and McKagan are noted pals in the rock world and even were in a band together, the Neurotic Outsiders, following McKagan's exit from GN'R.

56. “Shotgun Blues” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

Whomever or whatever Axl is mad at on "Shotgun Blues" clearly brought out some of his most colorful insults this side of "Get In The Ring": "And you, you can suck my ass an' I think it is so low class/Me? I'm just so concerned, I'm still waitin' for your ass to burn."

55. “If the World” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

There's no other way to explain this, but "If the World" is the sound of Axl Rose trying to seduce someone, and to seal the deal, he's brought some hot-ass bass to the party. Despite how that reads, these are not bad things.

54. “Right Next Door to Hell” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

Best song about an annoying neighbor ever? Okay, so maybe it's the only known song about having an annoying neighbor, but thank goodness Axl (alegedly) hit his neighbor with a wine bottle, was sued over the incident which let to him being pissed off enough to write this aggressive tune.

53. “Ain’t Goin’ Down No More” – Sound City Studios Sessions (1986)

A instrumental track from the 1986 Sound City Studio Sessions, "Ain't Goin' Down No More" is yet another example that even before Guns N' Roses became the biggest band in the world, they were definitely rock stars in the making and some serious magic was cooking between these musicians.

52. “So Fine” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

GN'R's resident punk Duff McKagan shines on this track, which he wrote and serves as a tribute to one of McKagan's late heroes, Johnny Thunders. As great of a frontman as Axl Rose is, it's amazing that GN'R still had two incredible singers-- McKagan and Izzy Stradlin' -- in the band, too.

51. “New Work Tune” – Sound City Studios Sessions (1986)

A jaunty instrumental, "New Work Tune" is the sound of Slash and Izzy Stradlin just messing around with a great groove. Even before they became guitar gods, "New Work Tune" serves as an early sign that there was something very special about their partnership.

50. “It’s Alright” – ‘Live Era ’87-’93’ (1999)

As far as GN'R's covers go, this is perhaps one of the deepest cuts they have in their catalog. Off of Black Sabbath's 1976 album 'Technical Ecstacy' and sung by drummer Bill Ward, this stripped live cover featuring Axl at the piano shows Mr. Rose's range and his obvious appreciation for the legends that paved the way for him and the rest of the band.

49. “Madagascar” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

Once again, have we mentioned there's a lot going on on 'Chinese Democracy'? Well, to drive home that point, take a listen to "Madagascar," which features audio clips from 'Cool Hand Luke' (clearly a favorite film of Axl's), 'Braveheart' and 'Seven.' As if that weren't enough, also included in the track's audio samples is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.

48. “Attitude” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

Brash and fast (both in literal tempo and time length), this Misfits cover is yet another showcase for resident punk Duff McKagan and yet another example of maybe GN'R should've featured more punk elements in their sound.

47. “Catcher in the Rye” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

The guitars of Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal and Paul Tobias are simply outstanding on "Catcher in the Rye," an incredibly over-the-top ballad.

46. “You Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

Duff McKagan is the star of this cover, literally. Not only is he the lead vocalist, he also provides the guitar, bass and drum tracks, too. Seriously, if you needed a reminder of how badass McKagan is, just take a listen to "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory."

45. “Chinese Democracy” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

The title track of 'Chinese Democracy' was the only official single release from this infamous album, and considering the pressure there was upon its release, it fair pretty well on the charts where it peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at no. 34. It also was a regular part of the setlist on GN'R's "Not In This Lifetime" reunion tour with Slash and Duff McKagan. And yes...while it's been said countless times, it is still weird to see Slash and Duff play 'Chinese Democracy'-era songs.

44. “Heartbreak Hotel” – Sound City Studios Sessions (1986)

Elvis Presley didn't live to hear GN'R's cover of "Heartbreak Hotel." It's anyone's guess what he would've thought of it, but he probably would've got a kick out of a bunch of kids in 1986 embrassing the song, who would also go on to make parents nervous similar to how he did in the 1950s. The Sound City Studios Sessions track surfaced thanks to the 2018 reissue of 'Appetite.'

43. “You Ain’t the First” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

If you're a fan of acoustic slide guitar, then you probably love "You Ain't the First," a solid, straight-forward breakup song. Also, if you aren't a fan of acoustic slide guitar, what is wrong with you?

42. “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” – Sound City Studios Sessions (1986)

GN'R's 1986 Sound City Studios Sessions featured on the massive 2018 reissue of 'Appetite' features a number of interesting gems, including this cover of the Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash," which really just sounds like a bunch of young musicians rocking out to one of their favorite songs and having a lot of fun in the process. If you haven't listened to this cut before, do so because there's a lot of joy to be had here.

41. “Whole Lotta Rosie” – Sound City Studios Sessions (1986)

If you would've told Axl Rose back when this live cover of "Whole Lotta Rosie" was recorded that he'd be fronting AC/DC three decades later, he probably wouldn't believe you, and you couldn't blame him, really. However, this cover is definitely early proof of Axl's fandom of the Aussie icons. Unrelated note: Axl really doesn't get enough credit for getting deeper Bon Scott cuts added to the set list when he was on the road with AC/DC.

40. “Prostitute” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

A supremely over-the-top album should have a grand conclusion, and "Prostitute" more than fits the bill. The guitars are big, as is Axl's voice, and supposedly, actor Nicolas Cage loves this song. (You can file that fun fact under, "Huh...neat.")

39. “The Garden” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

"Turned into my worst phobia/A crazy man's utopia/If you're lost no one can show ya/But it sure was glad to know ya." Between the song's lyrics and its music video full of Manhattan visuals, "The Garden" is almost like a New York answer to The Eagles' "Hotel California," which is very weird considering GN'R is based firmly in Los Angeles. Bonus points for featuring vocals from Alice Cooper, who is like the bacon of rock and roll; adding him to anything just makes it better.

38. “Estranged” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

Much like "November Rain," it's difficult to think of "Estranged" and not think about its music video. (FYI: It's the final installment of the Del James-inspired trilogy following "Don't Cry" and the aforementioned "November Rain." Personally, I refer to the video as "The one where Axl jumps off a massive ship and swims with dolphins.") Anyway, this song is good, but it could've been great if it just trimmed a verse/bridge or two. I understand excess, but sometimes "more" is "too much."

37. “Raw Power” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

In case you didn't think The Stooges' "Raw Power" couldn't get more frenetic, just take a listen to GN'R's version. Plus, Axl and Duff sharing the lead vocals is just a nice touch.

36. “New Rose” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

'The Spaghetti Incident?' is really just a fun experiment of what GN'R would've been like if they leaned more into their punk influences and if Duff McKagan had more control of the reins. Their cover of The Damned's "New Rose" with McKagan on lead vocals is one of the best examples of that.

35. “Human Being” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

Fact: If everyone listened to the New York Dolls more often, we'd just be better people. Considering the energy brought to this cover, GN'R likely concured. Also, who doesn't love the fact Axl's kazoo playing was so prolific that it warranted credit on the track?

34. “Mama Kin” – ‘Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide’ (1986)

If you ever questioned whether Guns N' Roses were the rowdier, bastard children of Aerosmith, just listen to their take on "Mama Kin." They don't stray too far away from the source material, but with a classic like this, you really don't have to.

33. “Hair of the Dog” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

Simply put, this cover of this Nazareth classic is one of the highlights on 'The Spaghetti Incident?' The song already dripped with attitude, and then GN'R put their stank on it. Just a fun jam all around.

32. “Reckless Life” – ‘Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide’ (1986)

Guns N' Roses was born from the group Hollywood Rose, and "Reckless Life" was written while this group was still active. Think of it as almost GN'R's origin story of sorts. It's gritty, memorable, and it showed the potential of the musicians who wrote it.

31. “Ain’t It Fun” – ‘The Spaghetti Incident?’ (1993)

If you weren't familiar with Dead Boys, you might be tricked into thinking GN'R snuck some lost original track on their covers album, but that's not the case. Add in Hanoi Rocks' Michael Monroe on co-lead vocals, and you really have a bright spot on an album that would be the last studio appearances under the GN'R name from Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum.

30. “Sympathy for the Devil” – ‘Interview with the Vampire’ Soundtrack (1994)

There's something very admirable about Guns N' Roses and their ability (or chutzpah) for taking on some of the biggest, most popular rock songs of all time and making them their own while also paying tribute to those who made those songs famous. GN'R was certainly the Rolling Stones for a new generation and that sentiment was driven home with this cover of "Sympathy for the Devil."

29. “Shadow Of Your Love” – ‘Guns N’ Roses EP’ (1988)/’Appetite for Destruction’ (Super Deluxe Edition 2018)

"Shadow Of Your Love" was released as part of the 1988 'Guns N' Roses' EP that was only released in Japan, but the track would finally get its first official release in the United States in 2018 as part of the Super Deluxe reissue of 'Appetite for Destruction.' It's kind of amazing it took so long for the track to get an official release, because it certainly stands up to much of 'Appetite'-era tracks. I guess file this one under "Better late than never."

28. “Think About You” – ‘Appetite for Destruction’ (1987)

When it comes to 'Appetite,' most might point to "Sweet Child O' Mine" as the prime example of GN'R showing their softer side, but people shouldn't sleep on "Think About You." It may not have been a massive hit single like "Sweet Child..." but it's just as sweet.

27. “Move to the City” – ‘Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide’ (1986)

Anyone who thinks horns don't belong in hard rock really needs to listen to "Move to the City." Izzy Stradlin is the lead songwriter on this track, and even if you didn't know that, the entire song drips with his style and influence.

26. “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

Before making a big splash with "You Could Be Mine" in 'Terminator II,' GN'R's first big soundtrack appearance came with this recorded cover of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" for the 1990 Tom Cruise vehicle 'Days of Thunder.' Certainly less gritty than the version featured in an MTV GN'R concert special from 1988, it's just as powerful.

25. “Better” – ‘Chinese Democracy’ (2008)

Another 'Chinese Democracy'-era song heavily featured on the set list of the "Not In This Lifetime" reunion tour with Slash and Duff McKagan, the song is put over the top thanks to the backing vocals of Tommy Stinson, Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman.

24. “Anything Goes” – ‘Appetite for Destruction’ (1987)

"Anything Goes" isn't going to win points for subtlty or romance, unless you think lyrics like "Panties round your knees/With your ass in debris" is romantic. (If you do, no judgement.) Where it does win points is for being a straight forward, gritty, unapologetic hard rock song. Nothing fancy, just badass.

23. “You’re Crazy” – ‘Appetite for Destruction’ (1987)

"You're Crazy" is an incredibly strong track, but there are so many iconic tracks on 'Appetite' that it can almost just lost in the shuffle. Of course, you'll read more about the acoustic vesion of "You're Crazy" in a little bit.

22. “Yesterdays” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

A bitter-sweet tune about growing up and moving on, "Yesterdays" is the type of tune that hits right in the feels if you're not fond of taking trips down memory lane. After all, "Time just fades the pages/In my book of memories."

21.”Double Talkin’ Jive” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

Another song written by Izzy Stradlin, and it's yet another example of just how damn cool he is and what he brought to GN'R. It can't be stressed how much he would've brought to GN'R's "Not In This Lifetime" reunion, especially with killer grooves like "Double Talkin' Jive."

20. “Bad Obsession” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

A standout track on 'Use Your Illusion I,' think of "Bad Obsession" as the bluesier sister song to "Mr. Brownstone." Its heavy blues influence makes loads of sense since its primary songwriter was Stradlin.

19. “Out ta Get Me” – ‘Appetite for Destruction’ (1987)

Few individuals can make paranoia sound badass quite like Axl Rose. Who knows what he's being accused of, but by the end of the song, it's hard not to side with Axl in being "f*cking innocent."

18. “Live and Let Die” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

Easily one of the best covers in GN'R's catalog (and there are plenty), the band's take on the Wings classic gives the song a heavy dose of edge and attitude. The cover would earn GN'R a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal, but they would lose out to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Give It Away."

17. “My Michelle” – ‘Appetite for Destruction’ (1987)

Music history is litered with beautiful songs that feature womens' names in the title, but this one is far from a warm, fuzzy ode. The real-life influence for this track was Michelle Young, a classmate of Slash and Steven Adler's. Michelle said in passing to Axl Rose while in the car with him how she wished someone wrote a song about her after hearing Elton John's "Your Song" on the radio. So, this wasn't really what she'd envisioned. On the plus side, Michelle would go on to live a pleasant life.

16. “You’re Crazy” (acoustic) – ‘GN’R Lies’ (1988)

In what might be a mild controversial pick on this entire list, the acoustic version of "You're Crazy" outranks the electric version from 'Appetite.' Truthfully, the acoustic version somehow has more bite, but it just wouldn't have worked on 'Appetite' for obvious reasons.

15. “Nice Boys” – ‘Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide’ (1986)

One of the most underrated contributions Guns N' Roses made to rock was introduce a number of people to Rose Tattoo thanks to their cover of the Aussie band's "Nice Boys" from their 1978 self-titled debut. GN'R put their own blistering take on the track, and it's a standout cover in their catalog that's littered with covers.

14. “14 Years” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

"14 Years" is yet another example to point to at how cool and missed Izzy Stradlin is, especially with the current GN'R reunion. If you're not convinced, track down the live version of "14 Years" from 2012 when Stradlin made a surprise appearance during the band's show at London's O2 Arena. (And no, the fact that "14 Years" is number 14 on this ranking wasn't planned. That was just a happy accident.)

13. “Civil War” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

The last thing fans likely expected from GN'R post 'Appetite' and 'Lies' was an anti-war song, but that's what they got with "Civil War." The track first appeared on the 1990 compilation album 'Nobody's Child: Romanian Angel Appeal' before being released as the opening track to 'Use Your Illusion II.' Its poignancy still resonates today and likely will for many years to come.

12. “Rocket Queen” – ‘Appetite for Destruction’ (1987)

Mixing raunch and tenderness, "Rocket Queen" brings 'Appetite' to a unique and very memorable ending. Its lyrics are surprisingly loving, but then there's the infamous bridge with the...ahem...actual sounds of love making between Axl and Adriana Smith, the then-girlfriend of Steven Adler, in the recording studio. However, once the sounds of GN'R (and the moaning) bring the album to a close, you realize that you heard one of the greatest albums of all time.

11. “Mr. Brownstone” – ‘Appetite for Destruction’ (1987)

"I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do, so the little got more and more. I just keep trying to get a little better, said a little better than before." With lyrics like those and the title itself, the only other song in rock history that's more obvious about being about heroin is the Velvet Underground's "Heroin." Despite its grizzly subject matter, "Mr. Brownstone" remains one of the strongest songs in GN'R's entire catalog.

10. “Dust N’ Bones” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

Izzy Stradlin was sorely missed on GN'R's "Not In This Lifetime" reunion tour for many reasons, but "Dust N' Bones" might be the biggest reason why. While pretty much everything the band released before 'Use Your Illusion' dripped with swagger, Stradlin's vocals added a heavy dose of bluesy sophistication to the equation that no one in the band's lineup history has been able to come close to breaching. Had Stradlin rejoined the band and if "Dust N' Bones" was part of the setlist, it would undoubtedly be a standout moment every night.

9. “Nightrain” – ‘Appetite for Destruction’ (1987)

As far as songs about cheap wine go, "Nightrain" is definitely the most badass and for sure has the best hook. Also, it features easily one of the best uses of cowbell ever. (No one tell Gene Frankel/Will Ferrell.)

8. “Don’t Cry” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

When most think of Guns N' Roses, they think of a badass rock band, but their catalog is filled with plenty of downright sweet love songs, and "Don't Cry" is certainly one of their best. Plus, when you add in the guest vocals of the late Shannon Hoon (before Blind Melon's debut was released) harmonizing with Axl Rose, it just puts this song over the top.

7. “It’s So Easy” – ‘Appetite for Destruction’ (1987)

This song could just be Duff McKagan's opening bass riff and it would still be incredible. Of course, everyone is firing on all cylinders, epecially Axl who ends this hard rock gem with some of the best screeching in recorded history.

6. “Paradise City” – ‘Appetite for Destruction’ (1987)

The only thing more stunning than the thought of an actual Paradise City (where the grass is green and the girls are pretty) is the fact that this nearly seven minute banger doesn't seem that long at all AND it still gets played on the radio today in its entirety. Aside from "Sweet Child o' Mine," "Paradise City" is easily the most accessible track on 'Appetite for Destruction' proving that hard rock can be for everyone.

5. “November Rain” – ‘Use Your Illusion I’ (1991)

"November Rain" is both a sonic and visual epic. Axl and his piano and Slash and his two massive guitar solos are the stars of this nearly nine-minute ballad, which technically qualifies as a power ballad but manages not to cross into the relm of cheese. Of course, even when listening to "November Rain," you can't help but think of its decadent music video. From Slash walking out of the church to Stephanie Seymour's mullet wedding dress, some of the scenes are the most-memorable in music video history. Fun fact: "November Rain" was the first music video released before the invention of YouTube to reach 1 billion views.

4. “Patience” – ‘GN’R Lies’ (1988)

Great whistle solo or greatest whistle solo? Wherever you fall on that debate, there's no question that "Patience" is one of the best rock ballads of all time and proof that even when performing acoustic and when Axl brings his trademark wail and growl down to a purr, GN'R could still manage to move mountains.

3. “You Could Be Mine” – ‘Use Your Illusion II’ (1991)

"You Could Be Mine" provided two intros (besides the sweet 1:06 one on the song itself): It was the first peek at what fans could expect from the 'Use Your Illusion' albums, and it was the first track from GN'R to feature new drummer Matt Sorum who was brought in after Steven Adler was kicked out of the band after infamously taking too many drugs. Sorum's drum track is outstanding as is everyone on "You Could Be Mine." It's big without sounding bloated and polished but not lacking grit. James Cameron couldn't have asked for a better theme for 'Terminator II.'

2. “Sweet Child o’ Mine – ‘Appetite for Destruction’ (1987)

For those that aren't hard rock fans and don't really know a lot about Guns N' Roses, they likely at least know "Sweet Child o' Mine." Slash, of course, shines on this classic from his instantly recognizable intro riff to his massive solo. And let's face it: most of us at point or another has thrown on a headband and did that swaying dance Axl Rose does in the video while lip syncing the song in the mirror. (Don't make that face. Yes, you did! No one likes a liar!)

1. “Welcome to the Jungle” – ‘Appetite for Destruction’ (1987)

What can really be said about "Welcome to the Jungle" that hasn't already been said? One of the best, if not THE best opening track on a debut album ever? Yes. A warning shot to sub-par hair bands taking up too much space on the Sunset Strip? Undoubtedly. In the passing years, "Welcome to the Jungle" has become a magical tune that's a staple on Active Rock and now Classic Rock radio. Sure, the song may fall under the Classic Rock label based on its age, but "Welcome to the Jungle" still sounds as fresh as ever. It's the timeless statement that every rock band dreams of writing, and this will likely be so until the sun finally explodes and the world ends or climate change finally gets us. Whichever comes first!

Guns N’ Roses review, Glastonbury 2023: Frontrunners for the worst Glasto headline set of all time

Axl rose flips between a lower register that resembles a clogged lawnmower and a higher one that sounds like barry gibb suffering the mother of all wedgies, article bookmarked.

If Noel Gallagher’s wading into a Glastonbury headliner debate, you know matters are taking a significant turn. Back in 2008, Noel was “not having” Jay-Z headlining; this year, indie music’s sagest commentator finds it “crazy s***” that Guns N’ Roses are topping Saturday night’s bill. And this time, rather than his comments being brushed like dirt from the shoulder of progress, he has a point.

By booking Guns N’ Roses, having spent 15 solid years widening the cultural remit of Britain’s most legendary festival, Glastonbury made its biggest backward misstep since Mumford & Sons. The festival could have honoured a rich and influential songbook, like those of the Pyramid Stage’s other heritage heroes Paul McCartney, Elton, Bowie or The Rolling Stones. But from the moment GN’R arrive – with uncharacteristic punctuality – they represent everything dated, rockist, indulgent and macho that Glastonbury has rejected since its inception.

Launching into the grisly Sunset Strip rock’n’roll of “It’s So Easy”, Axl Rose writhes around the stage like he’s in a pop-up ad for a very niche fetish website, while Slash works relentless quicksilver riffs from his Gibson. The 57-year-old holds his guitar at a permanently priapic angle, with the expression of a plumber installing a particularly intricate under-sink filter system. A structure is swiftly set. There will be sporadic air-punching to crowd-rousing hard rock classics, which are largely culled from 1987’s Appetite For Destruction. But enjoy these while you can, because it’s liable to be 30 to 40 minutes of self-indulgent soloing, set-padding punk covers and overlong bluster rock before the next one shows up.

Guns N’ Roses misfit a Glastonbury headline slot on so many levels that they might as well be wearing T-shirts reading “Leylines Suck” or “Beards NEED Moustaches”. Jock-friendly heroin tributes like “Mr Brownstone” are made to chug kegs to, not lose yourself, the size of a pinhead, in a pint of psychedelic cider. “Bad Obsession” sounds like Eighties Reading’s revenge. And despite them being this year’s only Pyramid Stage headline act with a female member (in keyboardist Melissa Reese), there are moments when they exude more toxic masculinity than Andrew Tate’s personal Lynx factory. Witness Axl berating a “syphilitic priestess” with a “p**** full of maggots” to visuals of slime beasts, banshees and crawling metallic Medusa hair, like the most incel of Tinder trolls. Or “Pretty Tied Up”, boasting the none-more-chivalrous chorus “pretty tied up, hanging upside down, pretty tied up and you can ride her”.

Axl, it quickly transpires, is Guns N’ Roses’ fatal flaw. The band may be capable of weighing down their paciest speed-rock workout (“Double Talkin’ Jive”) to a ponderous chug and could drag “The Wheels on the Bus” out to an overblown 12 minutes. But even when they’re locked into a powerful, charged union – on, say, “Estranged” or “Reckless Life” – Rose makes the whole thing sound like a Muppet Show pastiche of hard rock. It’s his voice: a creature that, were you to take it to a vet, would come home in a cardboard box. Mumbling vague approximations of English words as if chronically constipated (if you’ve hit the goat curry hard enough, you’ll feel his intestinal pain), he flips between a lower register that resembles a clogged lawnmower and a higher one that sounds like Barry Gibb suffering the mother of all wedgies.

It deflates even their most iron-clad tunes. Terf Twitter might watch him shriek his way through “Welcome to the Jungle” and consider it living proof that grown men are now identifying as cockerels. “November Rain” – Axl at the piano and band in full bombast mode – makes Elton’s “I’m Still Standing” look like a masterclass in enunciation. “You Could Be Mine” sounds like it’s being mauled by a pack of wild cats and Axl lands such relentless hammer blows to the skull of Wings’ “Live and Let Die” (minus the rumoured Macca guest spot) that “let die” becomes the kindest option. The righteous import of “Civil War”, adorned with images of a tattered Ukrainian flag, are lost in his formless mewling. A parade of rock cliché outfits – shiny biker king, Vegas magician – only serve to emphasise the sense that he’s become a lounge singer tribute to himself.

When Rose disappears and lets bassist Duff McKagen take the mike for The Stooges’ “TV Eye”, the visceral punk rock band at Guns N’ Roses core comes out to play in his absence. And to his credit, Rose adequately handles more leisurely tracks like “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” and “Patience” and knocks a fantastic final “Paradise City”, featuring Dave Grohl’s 37th surprise guest slot of the weekend, clean out of the Avalonian vale. But by this point, even truncating their usual three-hour set to a relatively nimble two-and-a-half, they’re exhausting viewing and frontrunners for the worst Glastonbury headline set of all time. Crazy s***? If only it’d been crazy, Noel…

The secret Star City was built to train Soviet cosmonauts, including Yuri Gagarin, the 1st man in space. Many other famous Russian cosmonauts trained here with Gagarin: German Titov, Valentina Tereshkova, the first female cosmonaut, and Alexei Leonov, the first cosmonaut to exit the spaceship into space . The best facilities were built for them: the world’s largest centrifuge and hydro laboratory. Many cosmonauts from other countries (USA, Japan, Germany and many others) also have trained here together with Soviet Russian cosmonauts. On this Star (Space) City Tour you will see:
