Guns N' Roses emerged from the turbulent yet fertile L.A. club scene which was the spawning
ground for Van Halen, Quiet Riot/Randy Rhoads, Motley Crue, Ratt and Poison. Beginning
with a smalilocai underground following, they rapidly garnered a greater public awareness with
their raw no-nonsense sound and energetic rock 'n' roll feel. Their appearance and subsequent
popularity in 1987 was concurrent with a perceptible shift in audience taste towards more direct
and more emotional forms of rock-a reaction against the slick over-calculated pop/rock and
the technicallydemanding metal fusion ofthe early and mid 80's. In this regard, Guns N' Roses
advocate and deliver a musical presence which is the very essence of rock-rebellious,
immediate and evocative. The music invites, indeed insists on, audience participation and
involvement on a purely gut level.
The sound of Appetite for Destruction reveals an evolutionary Iink with the beginnings of
modern rock. Sprinkled throughout the Guns N' Roses offerings are allusions to wellestablished
and unmistakable 60's blues roots. The vocabulary of the blues/rock tradition of
the British dynasty of the Yardbirds, Cream, and Led Zeppelin is apparent in the guitar work
of lead guitarist Siash, while the rough, aggressive rhythm work and powerhouse song riffs
show the influence of the Kinks, early Stones and Aerosmith. These centrai elements coexist
with hints of punk rock (in the pronounced chant-talk vocal approach of the verse in "It's So
Easy" and the unabashed expletives found in the Iyrics of "You're Crazy" and "Out Ta Get Me"),
60's psychedelic music (in the raveup jamming of the rideout outro solo of "Paradise City" and
guitar-generated sound effects in the second guitar solo/interlude of "Welcome to the Jungle,"
in which stratospheric si ide guitar adds a spacey quality to the proceedi ngs) and vi ntage heavy
metal (in the driving rhythm grooves, sustained distorted guitar tones and visceral power
chords throughout).
In this volume, there is a wealth of material for bassists of ali levels. For the beginning or
intermediate bass player, the arrangements present an accessible and enjoyable repertoire of
bass lines which is not particularly intimidating or technically demanding. For the advanced
bassist, the music of Guns N' Roses provides an insight into the groove factor of hard driving
contemporary rock. Ali players will benefit from the study of Duff "Rose" McKagan's solid riffbased,
song-conscious bass style. This willlead to a greater appreciation and understanding
of the role of the bass player in a modern rock band.
