There is still an immense amount of respect and interest in Guns N Roses today and every fan of this incredible band will want to own this piece of history!

Every legend has a story and every story has a beginning. The story of Guns N Roses began when L.A. Guns founder Tracii Guns introduced guitarist Chris Weber to Hollywood loner Izzy Stradlin in the parking lot of the Rainbow Bar And Grill. After jamming together at Izzy’s place, the two decided to form a band and recruited a wild-eyed, red-haired vocalist, Bill Bailey, better known to most as Axl Rose. Together, these three pale-skinned lads drew inspiration from the diverse musical scene emerging in Hollywood and, with the help of drummer Johnny Kreis, recorded a demo of fiery glam rock tracks under the name Hollywood Rose. For years these demos have remained in the vault, never appearing on CD and secretly treasured by the few select fans who happened to purchase the cassette at the band’s early performances. Now, Cleopatra records has brought these raw recordings to the masses, offering a glimpse into the beginnings of one of the greatest American rock bands of all time. As a special bonus, former Guns N Roses member, Gilby Clarke, takes these recordings back to the studio, polishing those rough edges to reveal the powerhouse talent beneath. This incredible, monumental musical document deserves to be a part of every music lover’s collection!
