乐队的现有成员包括主唱埃克索尔•罗斯、主奏吉他手Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal和DJ Ashba、节奏吉他手Richard Fortus、贝斯手Tommy Stinson、键盘手Dizzy Reed和Chris Pitman、鼓手Frank Ferrer。 |
Guns N' Roses' mid-to-late 1980s and early 1990s years have been described by individuals in the music industry as the period in which "they brought forth a hedonistic rebelliousness and revived the punk attitude-driven hard rock scene, reminiscent of the early Rolling Stones." |
音乐界的人都认为,20世纪80年代中后期到90年代初的枪炮玫瑰乐队给当时带来了一种快乐的反叛,他们为有朋克之风的硬摇滚带来了新生力量,令人回想起早期的滚石乐队。
