Guns´n´Roses, osnovani su 1985. u L.A.-u. Isprva su bili samo jos jedan hair metal band koji svira po nocnim klubovima i zivi od danas do sutra. No kada su Gunsi 1987. snimili svoj debi album "Appetite For Destruction", dozivjeli su overnight uspjeh. Odjednom su nastupali u velikim koncertnim dvoranama, a njihovi fanovi su zivjeli za to da vide njihove koncerte. Sve je to za njih doslo tako iznenadno. A sve sto su oni htjeli je dobar provod. 1988. izdali su LP pod nazivom "G N´R Lies" na kojem su bile neke snimke iz 1986. sto znaci stari materijal. Sve je to ukazivalo na raspad banda. A nije pridonijela niti cinjenica da
je Axl otpustio bubnjara Stevena Adlera. No 1991. Gunsi iznenadjuju javnost izdavsi dupli album sa svim novim materijalom. Njegov naziv glasi "Use Your Illusion". Snimaju velebne spotove za pjesme "Don´t Cry" i "November Rain". Na mjesto bubnjara postavljen je Matt Sorum iz The Cult. No uskoro se opet pojavljuju komplikacije. Ovaj put oko gitarista Izzya Stradlina. I on je uskoro napustio band, a na njegovo mjesto dosao je Gilby Clarke. U toj su postavi snimili album "The Spaghetti Incident?"
po mnogim fanovima posljednji album Gunsa, jer je zadnji snimljen u djelomicno originalnoj postavi. Nekoliko godina kasnije Slash i Duff su napustili band. Bio je to kraj originalnog line-upa.
Ovako glasi originalna postava Gunsa:
U SAD-u (tocnije u L.A.-u) sredinom osamdesetih rodio se hair metal.
No sto se istodobno dogadalo s druge strane Atlantika?
Kao sto sam spomenula u proslom postu, pocetkom sedamdesetih djelovali su veliki hard rock i heavy metal bandovi poput Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple i Black Sabbath, ali pojavom punka na
londonskoj rock sceni metal pada u drugi plan. No vec krajem sedamdesetih u Engleskoj dolazi do ponovnog budjenja metala u obliku pokreta "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal". Taj je val prvotno zahvatio London i velike gradove u kojima je bila razvijena teska industrija (heavy metal industry)
poput Sheffielda, Leedsa i Liverpoola sto pokazuje da je rock prije svega bio glazba radnicke klase.
Rezultat novog vala britanskog heavy metala bili su bandovi: Judas Priest, Motorhead, Saxon, Whitesnake i -naravno -
Iron Maiden koji su ubrzo stekli status najutjecajnijeg heavy metal banda svih vremena. Tu valja spomenuti i najpoznatiji engleski hair metal band koji se pojavio u to doba. Bili su to Def Leppard. Originalna postava glasi ovako:
Steve Clarc - gitara
Rick Savage - bass gitara
Pete Willis - gitara
Rick Allen - bubnjevi
Joe Elliot - vokali
U toj su postavi ovi momci iz Sheffielda snimili svoj album prvijenac "On Through The Night" koji nikad nije dozivio zasluzeni uspjeh. Def Leppard proslavio se svojim drugim albumom "High´n´Dry"
koji uspjeh moze zahvaliti baladi "Bringin`On The Heartbreak". No pravi uspjeh postizu albumima "Pyromania" (1983.) i "Hysteria" (1987.).Treba spomenuti da grupa postoji i danas te da su
prije nekih godinu i pol izdali svoj "best of".
Pocetkom sedamdesetih veliki hard rock bandovi su zarili i palili, no dolaskom punka na scenu zameo im se svaki trag. Ili mozda nije...
Sva sreca doslo je do pojave malo zesce verzije disca zvane glam rock.
No pri tome ne mislim na Davida Bowieja vec na grupe poput New York Dollsa i The Sweet. Upravo su njima bili inspirirani bandovi koji su se nekih malo manje od desetak godina kasnije poceli skupljati u L.A.-u. Bili su to tzv. "Hair metal bandovi". Prvi takvi bandovi koje valja spomenuti su: Van Halen, Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, Ratt, W.A.S.P., Dokken i Quiet Riot.
Nesto kasnije oko 1986. pojavili su se i Poison, Faster Pussycat, L.A. Guns i napokon, najpoznatiji od svih, razuzdani Guns n´Roses. Svojim debi albumom Appetite For Destruction potpuno su promijenili tijek povijesti.
Taj je album ostao najboljim i najuspjesnijim debi albumom do danas.
Za sve fanove metala, posebno hair metala osamdesetih.

Lyrics
Dokken-In My Dreams
Toss and turn all night in the sheets
I can't sleep
Night after night don't know what it means
In my dreams
What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
Calling your name, but you're turning away
Please don't leave
Running in circles, waiting to see you
In my dreams
What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you'll always be
In my heart and in my dreams
In my dreams--it's still the same
In my dreams--you're still by me
In my dreams--just the way it used to be
In my dreams--what can I say
In my dreams--You're still by me
And in my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--your love is strong
In my dreams--You're still the same
In my dreams
Motley Crue-Girls, Girls, Girls
Friday night and I need a fight
My motorcycle and a switchblade knife
Handful of grease in my hair feels right
But what I need to make me tight are
Girls, Girls, Girls
Long legs and burgundy lips
Girls,
Dancin' down on Sunset Strip
Girls
Red lips, fingertips
Trick or treat-sweet to eat
On Halloween and New Year's Eve
Yankee girls ya just can't beat
But they're the best when they're off their feet
Girls, Girls, Girls
At the Dollhouse in Ft. Lauderdale
Girls, Girls. Girls
Rocking in Atlanta at Tattletails
Girls, Girls, Girls
Raising Hell at the 7th Veil Have you read the news
In the Soho Tribune
Ya know she did me
Well then she broke my heart
I'm such a good good boy
I just need e new toy
I tell ya what, girl
Dance for me, I'll keep you overemployed
Just tell me a story
You know the one I mean
Crazy Horse, Paris, France
Forget the names, remember romance
I got the photos, a menage a trois
Musta broke those Frenchies laws with those
Girls, Girls. Girls
Body Shop. Marble Arch
Girls, Girls, Girls
Tropicana's where I lost my heart
Girls, Girls, Girls
Def Leppard-Bringin`On The Heartbreak
Gypsy, sittin' lookin' pretty
The broken rose with laughin' eyes
You're a mystery, always runnin' wild
Like a child without a home
You're always searching, searching for a feeling
That it's easy come and easy go
Oh I'm sorry but it's true
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see?
Oh whoah
You're such a secret, misty eyed and shady
Lady how you hold the key
Oh you're like a candle, your flame slowly fadin'
Burnin' out and burnin' me
Can't you see?
Just try and say to you
You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
No no no
You got the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
