Guns N Roses were one of the loudest bands in the late 80's early 90's. After their debute of "Appetite for Destruction", GNR took what fans could only call an excruciating long and semi-sobering 2 year break. Following the hiatus and a bit of band restructuring, Guns N Roses decided to release 2 albums on the same day to support the starting leg of the Use Your Illusion Tour. The albums would go to become 7x's platinum and give the group a grammy nod for "Best Hard Rock Performance" in 1992.
