The Los Angeles hard rock scene was very strong in the second half of the 80's. While the bands looks were more important than their music, a true dirty rock n' roll band appeared and made a revolution in the genre. That band, formed from a fusion between Hollywood Rose and L.A. Guns, would be named Guns N' Roses.

Only a perfect album (Appetite For Destruction) and 2 long records issued simultaneously (Use Your Illusion I and II) were necessary to make the band a true legend. After that, the group would disintegrate slowly around Axl Rose who would stubbornly continue the adventure with new musicians. A new album (Chinese Democracy) took many years to get issued, but it was finally released in November 2008.
