I would like to share our latest lesson plan which is our Homeschool Resource: Guns N’ ‘Roses which will allow Charlie to study a new musical group that David and I grew up on. I have a question for you. Do you listen to Guns N’ Roses music and if so what song of there’s do you like and which song do you think Charlie should perform in his Drama Class and why.
About:
Guns N’ Roses[a] is an American hard rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in March 1985 when local bands Hollywood Rose and L.A. Guns merged. When they signed to Geffen Records in 1986, the band’s “classic lineup” consisted of vocalist Axl Rose, lead guitarist Slash, rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan, and drummer Steven Adler. The current lineup consists of Rose, Slash, McKagan, guitarist Richard Fortus, drummer Frank Ferrer and keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Melissa Reese.
Guns N’ Roses heavily toured the West Coast club circuit during their early years before embarking on the Appetite for Destruction Tour. Their debut album Appetite for Destruction (1987) failed to gain traction, debuting at number 182 on the Billboard 200, until a year after its release when a grassroots campaign for the “Welcome to the Jungle” music video brought the band mainstream popularity. “Welcome to the Jungle” and “Paradise City” both became top 10 singles, with “Sweet Child o’ Mine” becoming the band’s only single to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The album has sold approximately 30 million copies worldwide, including 18 million units in the United States, making it the country’s best-selling debut album and eleventh-best-selling album. With their stylistic mix of punk rock, blues rock and heavy metal, the band helped move mainstream rock away from the glam metal era of the mid-late 1980s. In addition, they are credited with revitalizing power ballads in rock. Their next studio album, G N’ R Lies (1988) combined an early EP, Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide, with new acoustic songs and reached number two on the Billboard 200, sold ten million copies worldwide (including five million in the U.S.), and included the top 5 hit “Patience” and the controversial “One in a Million”. Adler was fired due to his drug addiction in 1990, and replaced by Matt Sorum.
