The band’s debut album, Appetite for Destruction, released in 1987, is a landmark achievement.

This classic lineup, which also included rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin and drummer Steven Adler, created a chemistry that was pure lightning in a bottle. The band went on to release the ambitious double albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II in 1991, which debuted at number two and number one on the Billboard charts respectively, cementing their status as global rock superstars.
