In their time, Guns 'n' Roses appeared as an anti-thesis to the other "bubblegum"rock of the 80's, like Poison and Bon Jovi. They had a harder attitude, mixed the best parts of Aerosmith, KISS and 80's swagger, to pretty much define the debauchery of the time in LA. Good songs, with singable choruses, edgy lyrics (drugs n the likes were not a widespread topic at the time), a great liveshow, and one of the most charismatic frontmen in rock, made G'n'R one of the biggest hardrock acts in the last 30 years. Unfortunately, Axl Rose turned into a diva, and pretty much destroyed the momentum that started with "Appetite For Destruction."
