The Global Legacy of Guns N’ Roses
Formed in 1985, Guns N’ Roses quickly became a dominant force in rock music. The group—led by frontman Axl Rose and iconic guitarist Slash—smashed through the 80s and 90s with a raw sound that combined hard rock, punk energy, and melodic blues.
While internal tensions and lineup changes plagued much of their post-90s trajectory, the band’s reunion and revitalization over the past decade have reignited global interest. Their Not In This Lifetime… tour (2016–2019) was one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, cementing their status as a live powerhouse.
The 2025 tour picks up that momentum and adds a reflective layer. The ironic name—Because What You Want & What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things—is seen by many fans as a nod to both the band’s tumultuous past and the expectations placed upon legendary acts in today’s fast-changing music landscape.
