Use Your Illusion I

Released

Rock critics crowned Guns n’ Roses as the Most Important Rock Band of the Moment when this double album of two separate CDs dropped in the summer of 1991. Singer Axl Rose and guitarist Slash stood back-to-back like the Glimmer Twins when belting out Use Your Illusion hits like their nine-minute opus “November Rain” and an explosive cover of “Live and Let Die.” Use Your Illusion I and II stand as the realization of Guns n’ Roses’ greatest potential as a band, wearing Elton John, Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan influences on their sleeves. By 1993, it was a wrap.
