Guns N' Roses achieved international success with their debut album, *Appetite for Destruction*, which was released in 1987. The album was a commercial success and spawned several hit singles, including "Welcome to the Jungle", "Sweet Child o' Mine", and "Paradise City". The band's second studio album, *G N' R Lies*, was released in 1988 and also achieved commercial success.
In 1991, Guns N' Roses released their third studio album, *Use Your Illusion I* and *Use Your Illusion II*, which were both commercial successes and spawned several hit singles, including "November Rain", "Don't Cry", and "Estranged". However, the band's success was marred by internal conflict and drug addiction, which led to the departure of Izzy Stradlin and Steven Adler.
In 1993, Guns N' Roses released *The Spaghetti Incident?* which was a cover album. In 1994, the band went on hiatus, and it was not until 2008 that they reunited and began touring again.
In 2016, Guns N' Roses were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band's current lineup consists of Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, and Frank Ferrer.
Guns N' Roses is considered one of the most successful hard rock bands of all time. They have sold over 150 million albums worldwide and have been ranked by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the "500 Greatest Artists of All Time".
