Top 15 Guns N' Roses Songs

It's the April Fools' joke that never was. Axl Rose, the new lead singer of AC/DC. In light of the news – or furore if you’re a Brian Johnson fan – it’s as opportune a time as any to revisit the catalogue of the controversial, world-conquering band he fronted when we were all kids (or younger adults).
Given Guns N' Roses' legacy it might seem surprising that they only released three 'proper' albums (G N' R Lies is a half-hour hodgepodge of live and acoustic tracks, The Spaghetti Incident a cash-grab, and the less said about Chinese Democracy the better), but in each they packaged in such menace and melody that it was near impossible to look away. Balladry or hard-rocking belters, it didn't matter: they were a band in complete control, and very much of their time. Appetite for Destruction was surely one of the all-time great debuts.
Axl was the consummate frontman; even devout AC/DC fans can’t dispute that. But should he be on board at AC/DC? Well, sometimes things should just be left alone.
