30 Years GUNS N' ROSES - Greatness and Madness
If you approach this band from the supposedly safe distance of a quarter of a century - so long ago lie the great successes of Guns N' Roses - you feel as if you were discovering the gigantic carcass of a whale on the beach: although you know that the mighty mammal is dead as a mouse, you exercise the utmost caution out of sheer fear that the monster might still move and kill you with one of its mighty tail fins. Guns N' Roses were, to stay in the picture, the blue whale among the rock bands. And they were unpredictable. If not completely crazy. And megalomaniac - first and foremost her frontman Axl Rose. And bands whose guitarists, like Izzy Stradlin and Saul "Slash" Hudson, absolutely want to be Keith Richards are not the worst anyway. All this made Guns N' Roses, along with some great records, a legend.
