Celebrate four exhilarating and rebellious decades of Guns Nโ€™ Roses with this lushly illustrated journey through the bandโ€™s biggest moments.

Formed on Los Angelesโ€™ famed Sunset Strip in 1985, Guns Nโ€™ Roses worked their way up from the club scene in less than three years to become a best-selling recording act and a top tour draw. Along the way, there was no shortage of controversy to accompany the accolades. In Guns Nโ€™ Roses at 40, prolific rock biographer Martin Popoff curates 40 key touchstones in GNโ€™Rโ€™s career, charting their formation and early history, key concert appearances, groundbreaking releases, notable collaborations, business challenges, personal difficulties, band quarrels, and more. This beautifully produced tribute features:

  • Stunning photography, both on and off the stage
  • Images of band memorabilia
  • Guns Nโ€™ Roses timeline
  • Complete studio discography

Popoff covers it all:

  • A history of the bandโ€™s scruffy early days on Hollywoodโ€™s Sunset Strip club scene
  • Backgrounds of founding members Axl Rose, Duff McKagan, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, and Steven Adler
  • Rundowns of the key studio albums and the processes behind them
  • Analyses of the infamous incidents and controversies that seemed to follow the band
  • The departures (and sometimes the returns) of key members
  • First-person interviews with bassists Duff McKagan and Tommy Stinson

In examining 40 key pivot points in GNโ€™Rโ€™s now-forty-year history,ย Guns Nโ€™ Roses at 40 provides a concise documentary-like view of the band that as much as any other helped drive a spike through the heart of hair metal. Combine this unique perspective with a gorgeous package and you have an indispensable addition to the collection of every fan.
