Guns N' Roses: Welcome To My Nightmare
Nick Kent, Vox, October 1991
Guns N' Roses are undoubtably the biggest noises in rock. But for how long? Would you buy two simultaneously released LPs at full price? Will the band self-destruct professionally and literally? Nick Kent – no stranger to rock 'n' roll excesses – discovers what Use Your Illusion I & 2 is all about, and talks Wild Turkey with the last (just) rebel rock band.
