The band has gone through so many changes that it’s hard to keep up, and when you add it all up, there have been a total of 16 official members of Guns N’ Roses. From the founding member who lends the band half of its name to the guitar player who wears a KFC bucket on his head, there have been some colorful characters in the band over the years. Let’s take a look at what every ex-member of Guns N’ Roses is actually doing now.

Which Guns N' Roses lineup was the best?
The original !!
@@jaedenmk5544 Either with Tracii Guns, Appetite era or the Illusion era?
Tieu Kha Vu I liked the illusion era with gilby and Matt but I think appetite was the most supreme
I really like the classic line up. Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven.
@@nicomrad2360 cool
To me GnR are Axl, Izzy, Steven, Duff, and Slash
Yeah, I agree
Me too
I agree, I also like Matt Sorum
Nope, all the members talked about in this video played on Appetite and UYI 1 and 2 soooo
@@devinwatson4594 u serious bro? AFD was Axl, Steven, Izzy, Duff, and Slash in 1987 in the studio and record
The one thing that really surprises me about what all the members of Guns N' Roses are doing now: breathing.
You really nailed with that. Really unbelievable how they survived all that debauchery.
Or Motley Crüe.
Lol
Obviously you missed the part where the guy drowned
@@turtleneckferret nope, all the OG members of GnR are still breathing.
Axl, Slash, Duff, Steven, and Izzy were, are, and always will be the only G&R that mattered. Before it became a bloated, corporate, revolving door of a rock-n-roll circus, it was, for a brief and shining moment in the late 1980's, the best rock band on planet Earth. And if you agree with that statement and are ready to get in a time machine to get the Hell out of 2020 and head straight back to 1987, go ahead and hit the thumbs up!
Yep tend to agree .After Lies the music went to crap
@@lepanhman No way man, Illusions I & II were awesome IMO..
Damn right!
Have to agree with you
I agree, Appetite and Lies, were the best years for the band, but Use your Illusion" albums were great as well. And Matt, Dizzy and Gilby did a great job in the early 90's. After that, the Giant went down.
I like Slash simply because he keeps his mouth shut, avoids bs drama, and just plays guitar like demon.
I had no idea they had so many members. 🤷🏻
They didn't, most of the list isn't guns and Rose's, that was Axl,Slash,Duff,Izzy and Steven then Matt and Gilby was the last real gunner all the rest were part of the Axl Rose band,just hired players to play for Axl to sing. The band wasn't Guns and Roses anymore
@@davidmellish3295 tracii guns being the only exception
@DeeNimmin That's What She Said. 😄👍
The main problem of GnR members being replaced frequently is Axel Rose's attitude and behavior...
He is good now.
I heard he is actually a good guy. Just has some mental issues that were extremely evident back then. They say he made a complete 180 though and is a much better person now. But it’s possible he’s just happy to be somewhat relevant again after the world wrote him off. I think he took it for granted in his youth.
I can appreciate that you guys acknowledge the struggles of suicide and Putting up a phone number for help.. that was awesome
I appreciate your appreciation, of Pantera!
I’m suicidal.
Geez they have had more members than Rose has excuses for not playing shows. I remember them back in the 1980s, they really could have been so much more but ultimately imploded.
It was mostly because of Axl. His ego, control issues and anger.
@@darthzyrus right on. So much potential seemingly wasted.
@@darthzyrus
Could have been... special, to see 80s Axl and 80s James Hetfield on the same stage. Two egos that size with anger issues, would have ended up in a memorable fight
@@shalashaska6658 they shared the stage together many times
@@marcusantonius8048
But not in the early/mid 80s?
Izzy was the best thing to come out of this band
When Izzy left, it was over. The reunion tour is cool, but since he left there has been no new music form the band (ignoring the awful chinese democracy)
I'd choose Slash.
No Izzy no party
Izzy is the best songwriter in the band, agreed.
Hearing Knocking on Heavens Door in concert was incredible! Thanks for the throw back!!!
Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven
I find it odd that Matt Sorum had the busiest career post-GNR. The Cult, Velvet Revolver, solo stuff, and Deadland Ritual. He’s still a great musician.
Matt Sorum is the best drummer for "you could be mine"
And good to his fans, I met him once!
Cult was before guns n roses
And, I saw him drumming for Billy Gibbons in Minnesota a few years ago.
And Slash's Snakepit
My favorite band ever. There are so many good ones but no other band has ever moved me like this one. I'm just so happy to have them back after so much pain and drama.
When are they goi g to make a G&R movie. The dirt was great but a guns movie would be epic
Guns arguably had an even wilder life than Motley Crue plus they are bigger legends. I think Guns movie is an absolute must.
Motley crue was so huge and has the most loyal fans. Gnr was legendary but don't even think for a minute the crue was mediocre that's just not true . not everything they did was great but when they were on they made some crazy huge songs. They both were literally unbelievably great.
Absolutely!
too much things to put in,it would be impossible
It would such because Axl would be the one deciding what's all in the movie. We wouldn't get the truth.
I’ve loved Slash from day one and still feel the same. He and Duff really tried helping Scott Weiland , sorry things went bad. But I have such respect for those guys for trying to help someone who I don’t think really wanted to be helped.
and thats why you never listen to a girlfriend, if your getting paid to play drums, stick with it, she can be replaced
Exactly, love is dead. Put your passions before any relationship. Especially if it's a passion for music, because at the end of the day music will probably be the only love that will never leave you.
"Stick with it"....I see what you did there!
Go straight to the Comments Section and see what The Experts have to say about this video
There was one time where the lineup was perfect.
Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven and Dizzy.
While this lineup never lasted long it was simply the best. You can really hear them all playing well together in "Civil War".
Axl, Tommy, Robin, Richard, Buckethead, Brain, Dizzy, and Chris were a bad ass lineup.
It was a basically a supergroup. They should have toured more, gelled, and released a few albums.
Yes this line up was amazing I wish it could have worked out for them.
87" G'nR is my fav.
real Gn'R ended when Izzy left ... at least it did for me.
Ole beich were good friends with my guitar teacher. From time to time my teacher tells me stories about him. I think he drowned in the harbour of Esbjerg, my hometown. Ole was struggling with a lot of drugs which probably was the reason he ended up as he did. Really sad 😞
He didn't died in Esbjerg, he drowned in Sct. Jorgens lake in Copenhagen, October 16 1991 under suspicious circumstances.
@@Mindstedrengen true. My bad
This isn’t a band, it’s a corporate business.
No matter, Guns N Roses rules babe
I still hope in a reunion with Izzy and Steven ❤
I hope it happens, that would be great to have all the original members back together.
@@dinobussanich3017 Popcorn (Stevens nickname) guest in 2016 and two years later at the Not in this lifetime tour. And Izzy appeared at the Chinese Democracy era of the band in 2012.
Killer band until the mid 90s. Glad I was able to see them a couple of times in their heyday. But for me gnr ended after Slash and Duff left. After that it was just Axl's solo band. The best line up was the Appetite line up, hands down.
I think the key member was Izzy...
@@burakyy4907 totally agree
Well now they are back
@@burakyy4907
Yep, after he left, the band went downhill.
Saw one of his last gigs with the band on
that European tour. Also, Sorum is a great
drummer, but never liked him in GnR,
always preferred Adler’s feel.
100% agree, I only got into GNR this year, so I know I'm far from an expert, I didn't get to grow up and watch them in the 80s and 90s, but even I can see that it went down in quality when Izzy left and went to complete shit when Slash and Duff left. Matt and Gilby were good, great even, but they'll never be Steven and Izzy. The best line up was and always will be the Appetite line up.
Love this f-cking band rock and roll forever.
And above all, RESPECT to each and every musician who played in it
@@jaydenmartel7577 🤘
Then you REALLY DO SUCK! YEAH!
@@meyerj75 I got it from your mom and dad idiot
@@martincervantes7265 My father's dead. He has been since 2007 and he too hates GnR.
It's a bad thing to see how this guy's ended up a little bad but it's better for them to be still alive
GNR died when Izzy left
I hadn’t heard of Ashba before I saw him with GnR years back ... I wasn’t expecting much, but he was absolutely amazing, and had the best tone/feel of all the guitarists there for this gig (this was pre- Slash’s return, obviously, and pre- Fortus who I rate extremely highly and would love to see play with the ‘original line-up’ now/alongside Slash). How different it could have been if Fortus was brought in back in the 90s, instead of Axl’s boyfriend ... GnR have been spoilt for awesome drummers! 😊
Kieren Moore love Ashba and bumblefoot brought energy and excitement,Even Axl said in an interview he loved the line up before the reunion
Izzy and the JuJu hounds was a really good album.
Some of Izzy’s solo work is good as well, you can tell his style is inspired by the Stones
The JuJu Hounds stuff is great!
Never been much of a Matt Sorum fan, but he's pretty good.
He’s a better drummer than the one they have now
GnR songs are not hard to play.
Erik Knudsen Chill out slash 🤣
I met him years ago, he was good to his fans, taking time to meet them and so funny!
3 & 1/2 decades, more like 3 & 1/2 years as a real unit, then it became a solo act.
I didn't even know about Ole until just now (I just started really getting into GnR) and idk what came over me but I started crying. Truly a tragic thing. If you're struggling with mental health, please consider getting help. You mean a lot to so many people whether you know it or not.
The Best lineup for GnR was APpetite for destruction use your Ilusion 1-2
I m thankful for this video been going through really tough time
I love this band & love me some Tracii Guns very talented guitarist & still going today
love your precise presentation! thanks.
Once asked Matt on twitter on December 31 "when are you coming to play in Brazil". He quickly replied sweetly.
The lineup that I first knew was
AXL
Slash
Duff
Matt Sorum
Gilby Clarke
Dizzy Reed
Imagine the like 86 albums we could have in that 4 year span, love his stuff on CD though.
Thansk for remembering Ole Beich. :)
When you look at it in the context of this video, it's obvious that it was never a "band" as much as it is an Axl Rose Project.
I’m drinking whiskey and watching CZcams today. That’s probably what they’re doing too.
It took a global pandemic to finally stop the "Not Ever Over In This Lifetime" tour.
Oh, really now, maybe I ought to hear more about that.😊
It's pretty easy to see that it was axle that drove every member away
Sik Switch13 You might want to check out "The Tragic Life Of Axl Rose" which may bring clues to part of what led him to dismiss much of the band.
1:13 I love that pic....Duff full looks like 70's Keith Richards 😎
Ad much as I respect and like slash. Tracii is one of my favorite and most influenced by guitarist. Izzy was the song writer that guns never reproduced and never recovered from. Izzy straddling is the rhythm guitarist of the great Guns N’ Roses and no one else!! Tracii guns is such a great riff master and LA GUNS is one of my favorite bands today!!!
If you have ever listen to Aerosmith´s "Rocks"...you know everything about G´n´R.
Their only a cover band of themselves now.
Bumblefoot played and tutored in our Corfu rock school for a few summers every July
The original Guns band from 1985-1990 era was the best lineup.
that was excellent.
Thanks
2:21....... you forgot to play RUNAWAY TRAIN - SOUL ASYLUM
LOL
I wish I could be in a band like that one day 🥺
Izzy is/was the most talented of these guys,good musican and songwriter. He did right choise to jump of the sinking ship..
I read somewhere that AXL demoted him in the band cause he wasn’t showing up to recording sessions or doing much at all. This infuriated Izzy and he later quit
Ole Beich was from my home town Esbjerg Denmark, sad story with him, after that he left the roses , he come back to Denmark, Copenhagen, one night after drinking he said to a buddy! sitting on a bench, i can swim from this side, to the other side under the water, he said no you cant, he jumped in! an was never seen again, as told in the the video, he had for many years suffered from depression, But so had Axel, they lived under poor conditions in LA for so many years before they got famous
Guns and roses helped me through the darkest time of my life when I was 13 and my parents, older brother, and 3 baby sisters were in a head on collision that instantly killed my dad and severely injured everyone else about a week after the illusion albums came out. They are the greatest band ever
How fascinating....always loved thdm!
I only consider Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven, and Matt to be members.
how abt Dizzy?
Gilby as well.
@@abskorditis1232 no man, just a neccesary replacement.
@@sebastradlinyeayeayea1070 Matt also.
Yes the rest weren't in Guns and Rose's but the Axl Rose band
R.I.P. Ole Beich
Thank You For Sharing 😊
Came here just to check any update on what is Izzy doing these days, but still watch all the video.
Idc what anyone says. Ashba was a kick ass guitarist and hella underrated both as a guitarist and a band member completely.
Tracii is my favorite guitarist. Slash is a freak of nature I can't wrap my head around his greatness. But tracii has always been my favorite guitarist . I'm glad it went the way it did sorry Traci but I can't imagine the world without laguns or slash
It is amazing timing that GNRS came together to tour and made a ton of dough before Covid came! No band may ever be able to assemble people like that again ( in stadiums) and make that kind of money!! Who could have predicted?
I feel like Covid had ripped away so many dreams and aspirations of so many people. Musicians and so many others. Mine as well.
Great vid !
The original Guns n Roses lineup consisted of members of the bands "LA Guns" (Tracii Guns band) and "Hollywood Rose" (Axl Roses band); the name came from the merging of those two bands.
So, Tracii Guns wouldn't have "started" LA Guns, after leaving GnR, he would have re-formed the band, using the old name.
The Classic Lineup was the best. 💯👍
They were a decent group but excess and ego tore them apart. If Duff, Slash & especially Izzy got together on a project I’d check it out.
Also cheers to Tommy Stinson. Wish the Replacements had the following GnR did.
After the use your illusion albums there were no GnR anymore. Everything else was many other bands with a famous name.
I didn't think the video was going end
The GN'R best & original line up for millions of people will always be Adler, Stradlin, McHagan, Slash & Axl Rose. The Sorum and Clark in the "Use your illusion " years as well as the addition of Dizzy Reed, was still a great line up. But after that, I don't care about the Axl's GN'R.
But the good think about Axl persistence to keep Guns N' Roses on the road, was that younger generations started following. I personally moved out with Slash's Snakepit and then Velvet Revolver. But so many years later, it was great to see the good old guys reunited.
I just wish either Adler or Sorum could get on board again and say bye bye to that other drummer and the chick. And bring back Dizzy. But I'm asking too much since I don't know the reasons why these other two are still in the band. And Izzy, well, he was a very important member back in the days and Nowadays he seems to be happy on his own.
Dizzy is still in the band
The day slash left it was all over
8:15 What song is that in the back ground?
I never knew about the founding member Tracii GUN .. that explained a lot. Is he related to Lars Ulrich?
G n r...is legend. But really only a couple albums....bring it home....izzy solo...has great vibe...g n r...appetite 4 d....is timeless
We’re the even followed after around 95/96?
Change the text of this video,"The tragic history behind Guns and Roses".
Bucket head? Well, who listened to G'n'R in 2004? I stopped taking notice in 1992!
Axl Rose is one of my favorite voices to cover...
Can we do that? I've played with the idea of that. Would anyone object to a good natured parody?
Nothing beats the original line up but Sorum, Clarke and Fortus has been solid
I feel like it is impossible to hate Slash
Buckethead probably the best thing that ever happened to guns and roses after slash left.. but Axel too dumb to make use of Buckethead's talent ..
WTF where IS THE DUFF McKAGAN reprizent. 🤘🏻
yeah tho he did come
back to the band
So is slash but he got his mention. Duff should have also had a mention.
Holy crap I never realized what a revolving-door mess G&R was. I only knew them as they were in the eighties
Nice Street Fighter reference ;)
What happened to Julia Gardner - From Jimmy's?
Holy christ I did not know there was so dam. Many.
What did tracii do with Johnny thunders?
Love Guns & Roses!
Always did, no matter who's playing what in the band, . . As long as Axl Shut's up!!!
That means every man for themselves when it comes in the situations like these that are high profile and we’re living on the edge there is a song for you but you got the just the justification of it all
I don’t remember when I was recruited, when I was fired, nor if I was a member at all... it were wild times, honey.
That's crazy shit. I didn't know most of this. I mean, I knew they had a revolving door of members, but I never realized just how many. Especially a female member. Then again, I quit caring somewhere around the spaghetti incident. Axl singing for ac/dc did not sound good.
I think Axl did a great job with AC/DC especially the Bon Scott stuff
@@johnie19644 weirdly he sounded better than he does singing his own songs 🤔
1:38 I can sympathise, because I hated the way Rush ended up going down the same route. Even hard rock has got to have a melodic structure of sorts.
well at least the suicide guy wasn't at the end like normally he was the 3rd lol shocking
Hey i dont understand what??? About L.A guns and guns n roses and Hollywood rose.... Can somoene explain?
i love LA GUNS too.some of the later shit rocks too.
right now axl, slash and duff are busy with a money grab operation....
Axl Slash Izzy Duff and Steven. Obviously the best lineup.
