The history of GUNS N' ROSES up to the time that "Live Era '87-'93" was originally released in 1999 is the stuff of legends. The first full-length album from GUNS N' ROSES, 1987's "Appetite For Destruction", is one of the most popular hard rock albums in history and has been on the Billboard 200 albums or Top Pop Catalog chart for a total of 746 weeks. Certified 18 times platinum in the U.S., "Appetite For Destruction" charted No. 1 for five weeks and includes three Top 10s: the anthem "Welcome To The Jungle" (No. 7) and the frenzied rocker "Paradise City" (No. 5),plus their platinum-selling No. 1 single "Sweet Child O' Mine". The video for "Sweet Child O' Mine" has over one billion views on YouTube.

1988's "G N'R Lies", comprised of songs from the group's independently-released 1986 EP "Live?!*@Like A Suicide" plus new studio recordings, followed "Appetite For Destruction" up the charts, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The Grammy-nominated album (for "Best Hard Rock Performance") was five times platinum (each platinum level connotes sales of more than one million units) and claimed the gold No. 4-charting ballad "Patience".

Then, on September 17, 1991, with one of the most anticipated releases ever in music, both "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II" debuted. "Use Your Illusion I" featured two gold singles with "November Rain" (No. 3) and "Don't Cry" (No. 10) plus another Top 40 with "Live And Let Die" (No. 33). "Use Your Illusion II" boasted another gold hit with the previously released single "You Could Be Mine" (No. 29),heard in the film "Terminator II: Judgment Day". "II" also features "Yesterdays", "Civil War" and GN'R's take on Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door". Each of the "Use Your Illusion" albums went seven times platinum, with "Use Your Illusion I" going to No. 2 and "Use Your Illusion II" hitting No. 1. "Use Your Illusion I" was Grammy-nominated for "Best Hard Rock Performance" as was the WINGS cover "Live And Let Die". Both "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II" have sold over seven million copies to date.

A collection of GUNS N' ROSES covers of classic, mainly punk, songs that had influenced the bandmembers since their early days, 1993's "The Spaghetti Incident?" hit No. 4, and is certified platinum. "The Spaghetti Incident?" features renditions of THE DEAD BOYS' 1978 track "Ain't It Fun" and an unlikely cover of THE SKYLINERS' '50s doo-wop gem "Since I Don't Have You".

GUNS N' ROSES will be on tour internationally in October and November 2025.
