Axl Rose
Svi znamo tko je Axl Rose.....ne izgleda tako jako loše , no ipak su njemu već 44.....
Robin Finck
Gitarist, rođen 1971.godine, Gunsima se pridružio 1996.,pa je opet otišao , vratio se 2000.
His presence alone brought cool factor into the band. He is the epitome of coolness, really unique in his ways and his looks. And even his posture, his walk, there is confidence, a lot of emotion and artistry and style that make him such a figure on stage.
His guitar riffs are heavy and raw, his rhythms as heavy as any guitar band could hope for. He tempers his screaming leads with soulful control, is also a maestro of pure, string-ripping noise.
Watch Finck's face and body, he feels the notes in his guts and his body expresses that along with his fingers and a combination of that gives you shivers when you watch somebody live.

Ron Thal
aka Bumblefoot
born on 25th of September, 1969 About »
Recommended to Axl by none other than Joe Satriani, Ron Thal aka Bumblefoot is ready to rock everyone's world with Guns N' Roses.
To quote one of his fans; ' Trust me, in time Ron will be one of the most loved members of the band. He's such a genuinly cool guy and he's one of the greatest entertainers I've ever seen - which is a rare thing among the virtuosos. His stage presence is really one of a kind and is only surpassed by his ENORMOUS musical talents.
His words to a fan after his first show with GNR in NY... "It's been wonderful playing with GnR - getting to play amazing songs with talented cool people... Friday was soooooooooo much fun, can't wait to do it again tomorrow"
At 12, the ever curious Ron started customizing his guitars in the most funny ways, a particularity he has been later known for. By painting album covers on the back of dungaree jackets, he earned enough money to buy himself a black Ibanez which had the advantage of having a vibrato bar (Ron had since discovered and was highly impressed by Eddie Van Halen).
Later in life Ron started off his professional life as a teacher in music and photography courses. Besides his own releases, Ron Thal works as a songwriter/producer and writes for publishing companies and TV shows.
Richard Fortus
born on November 17th, 1966 - St. Louis, Missouri About »
Richard Fortus was born on November 17, 1966 in St. Louis. In 2002 he replaced Paul Tobias as rhythm guitarist. The newest and youngest addition, and the only human-looking guitarist, Fortus is Izzy Stradlin on speed, with the stonesey vibe, chopping his telecaster like a man possessed by Keith Richards. Axl on Fortus, "... We're fortunate to have found Richard who has this vibe kind of like Izzy but with amazing feel. The first thing I heard Richard play was the beginning of "Stray Cat Blues" by the Stones and he did it with the right feel. Richard likes to play rhythm.
He's an amazing lead player and very technically skilled. He really likes the pocket that Brain sets and the two of them click with Tommy so we finally have the real deal rhythm section, as Richard is a proven professional. Basically, Richard's the guy that we always were looking for. I think that we'll go on to write some very interesting things with Richard and he's already done some rhythm work and some leads on the album."
Tommy Stinson
born on October 6th, 1966 - Minneapolis
Tommy's friend and well-known session drummer Josh Freese told him that Axl was looking for a new bass player for Guns N' Roses to replace Duff McKagan, who showed no interest in participating anymore.
Tommy learned the bass lines, and got called in for an audition. He describes the studio collaboration with the musicians as "magical", says... "If it works out, it could be history making, 'cause no one's ever done this before. A lead singer's never taken the (band) name and continued on with an entirely new band and done that successfully before.
"I kinda got into this for exactly that reason - if you're gonna try to do something really whacked, this would be the way to do it. I really don't think about the consequences either way - it's either gonna work or it's not, and in the meantime we're all having a good time trying to make it happen."
Axl likes to call Stinson the 'general', because he leads the band through the rehearsals.
Brian Mantia
As a kid, Brian Mantia (his nickname is Brain) became interested in artists as James Brown, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix, but he only started playing drums at the age of 16. He acquired the nickname "Brain" while playing in a high school concert band, due to his obsession with the complex Anthony Cirone book, "Portraits in Rhythm."
Mantia studied at the Percussion Institute of Technology in Hollywood to perfect his drumming skills. Later in life he was a part of the band Primus. In 2001, it was Buckethead who recommended Axl to bring him into Guns N' Roses.
He's very excited being in Guns N' Roses. In one of the very rare interviews, he says... "When we played this show in Rock In Rio in front of like 200,000 people.. I was so nervous, I'd warmed up for like 3 hours.. "
Dizzy Reed
born on June 18, 1963, in Hinsdale, Illinois
Dizzy has been a member of Guns N' Roses since 1990, playing on Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II. Aside from Axl he is the only remaining from the past.
Dizzy says: "No matter what we do, there's gonna be some people that are just not gonna let go of the old band. But the majority of the people I see out there are having a great time; they're losing their minds and dancing and singing along. It doesn't seem to me like they miss the old guys."
"One by one, people started quitting. The old band was a little more hell-bent on self-destruction; this band, I think, is kinda headed upwards as opposed to downward."
Reed is a fan of Larry Norman, a pioneer of Christian Music, in which he has played on Norman's Copper Wires album.
Chris Pitman
on the keyboards/synth.
Chris Pitman was born and raised in Kansas City Mo. During his early years in K.C. he performed in several Midwest success stories such as "XR4", "PHYSIC MYSTIC", "SIR REAL", and "IBIZABAR".
While attending UMKC's school of art, his future fate was set in motion. Chris met and became friends with the then unknown drummer DANNY CAREY (TOOL) the two of them played in bands together throughout the Midwest until Danny decided to move to L.A. The rest of Danny's story is history and staying true to his fiends he opened his door to all of his old friends.
It wasn't long before Chris and his pal Mulligan left for L.A. The three of them went on to form "ZAUM" soon after that Chris and TOOL bassist PAUL D'AMOUR formed "LUSK". The two of them recorded and released the critically acclaimed album "FREE MARS". Much to Chris's surprise "FREE MARS" had found a new fan, a very important fan, AXL ROSE. A phone call was placed and the rest of Chris's story is now history...
