List of songs recorded by Guns N' Roses
Guns N' Roses is an American hard rock band originally formed in 1985 by members of Hollywood Rose and L.A. Guns. After signing with Geffen Records in 1986, the band released its debut album "Appetite for Destruction" in 1987. All songs on the album were credited as written by the full band, composed of vocalist Axl Rose, guitarists Slash and Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler, while "It's So Easy" was co-written by West Arkeen and "Anything Goes" was co-written by Chris Weber, formerly of Hollywood  Rose. The following year saw the release of the band's second album "G N' R Lies", made up of all four tracks from 1986's "Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide" EP and four acoustic-based tracks. Following a period of touring, in 1990 Guns N' Roses replaced Adler with Matt Sorum, and keyboardist Dizzy Reed was added to the lineup. On September 17, 1991, the band released its third and fourth studio albums "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II". The songs on the albums were credited to their individual songwriters rather than the band as a whole , with Rose, Stradlin and Slash contributing to the majority of tracks. Other band members besides Rose performed lead vocals on a number of tracks, and the albums also featured a range of guest musicians including Shannon Hoon, Michael Monroe, and Alice Cooper. Stradlin later left the band and was replaced by Gilby Clarke. In 1993 the band released ""The Spaghetti Incident?"", an album of cover versions and the band's first release to feature Clarke. Among others, the album featured recordings of "Raw Power" by The Stooges, "Since I Don't Have You" by The Skyliners and a medley of  Buick Mackane and "Big Dumb Sex" by T. Rex and Soundgarden, respectively. The following year, Clarke was replaced with Paul Tobias and the band released a cover of The Rolling Stones song "Sympathy for the Devil" for the soundtrack to the film "Interview with the Vampire". This would prove to be the final involvement for long-term band members Slash, McKagan, and Sorum, who would later leave at various points over the next few years. In the years after the release of ""The Spaghetti Incident?"", Guns N' Roses went through a number of lineup changes during the recording of the  long-awaited "Chinese Democracy". In 1999, the song "Oh My God" – the band's first original recording since the "Use Your Illusion" albums – was released on the soundtrack for "End of Days", featuring Dave Navarro and Gary Sunshine on guitar. "Chinese Democracy" was eventually released, after a number of delays, on November 23, 2008, over 17 years after the release of "Use Your Illusion I" and "II". The album featured contributions from most of the members the band had featured between 1994 and 2008, including guitarists Buckethead, Robin Finck and Tobias, drummers Bryan "Brain" Mantia and Frank Ferrer, and multi -instrumentalist Chris Pitman, with a number of these performers having co-written songs on the album. Slash and McKagan rejoined the band in 2016, and a remastered box set of "Appetite for Destruction" was released in 2018, preceded by the lead single "Shadow of Your Love".
