Bio:
Guns N' Roses is an American hard rock band formed in Los Angeles, in 1985. The classic lineup as signed to Geffen Records in 1986 consisted of vocalist Axl Rose, lead guitarist Slash, rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan, and drummer Steven Adler. Today, Axl Rose is the only remaining original member, in a lineup that comprises Use Your Illusion–era keyboardist Dizzy Reed, lead guitarists DJ Ashba and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, rhythm guitarist Richard Fortus, bassist Tommy Stinson, drummer Frank Ferrer, and keyboardist Chris Pitman. The band has released six studio albums to date, accumulating sales of more than 100 million records worldwide,including shipments of 45 million in the United States,making them one of the world's best-selling bands of all time.A year after its release, Guns N' Roses' debut album Appetite for Destruction (1987) reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, on the strength of the hit "Sweet Child o' Mine", their only single to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.The album has sold in excess of 28 million copies worldwide,including 18 million units sold in the United States, making it the best-selling debut album of all time in the U.S.The success of their debut was followed by the eight-song album G N' R Lies (1988) which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The twin albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II (1991) debuted at No. 2 and No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and have sold a combined 35 million copies worldwide,including 14 million units sold in the United States alone.The cover album "The Spaghetti Incident?" (1993) was the band's last studio album to feature Slash and McKagan. After more than a decade of work and many lineup changes, Guns N' Roses released the long-awaited album Chinese Democracy (2008) which, at an estimated $14 million in production costs, made it the most expensive album to ever be produced in music history.It debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 but undersold industry expectations, despite mostly positive critical reception.Guns N' Roses have been credited with reviving the mainstream popularity of rock music, at a time when popular music was dominated by dance music and pop metal.Their late 1980s and early 1990s years have been described as the period in which they brought forth a "hedonistic rebelliousness" reminiscent of the early Rolling Stones,a reputation that had earned them the nickname "The World's Most Dangerous Band".The band's classic lineup, along with later members Reed and drummer Matt Sorum, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, their first year of eligibility.
Album:
GUNS N’ ROSES ”The Ultra Rare Trax” is a really cool bootleg released today (available on CD and double vinyl) promising ‘rarities, obscurities and oddities’ and indeed we find some fun stuff involving Axl Rose & Co.We get recordings / collaborations / demos / live appearances with the likes of Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Steve Jones, Bruce Springsteen, etc. There’s a rare demo with Duff McKagan on vocals, very good live recordings from the Chinese Democracy tours, and other rare demos / unreleased.It’s also nice to hear Axl and Slash as guests on a studio album from the band The Outpatients, and a live version of GN’R of AC/DC’s classic ‘Whole Lotta Rosie’. There’s some error too, as ‘Herod’s Song’ wrongly giving the credit as “Axl Rose with Meatloaf” which is in fact Delta Theatre Band, a song from a musical where both singers sound like… Axl Rose and Meatloaf. Or ‘5150’ performed by a Van Halen cover band whos’ singer voice is very similar to Axl.Anyway, this is a nice to have bootleg, especially for GUNS N’ ROSES fans and collectors. Sound quality is pretty good for the most part.

The release falsely states "All tracks from various broadcast recordings, 1987 - 1996". Much of the release is comprised of studio tracks, leaked demos, fake songs, unbroadcast audience recordings and tracks that originate after 1996.
Track 6 is fake. The release incorrectly gives the artist as "Axl Rose With Meatloaf". It is taken from “The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber.” The correct artist has been used in the tracklist above.
Track 8 is not Guns N' Roses, and is instead taken from a tribute album. The correct artist has been used in the tracklist above.
Track 12 incorrectly implies that Axl and Slash are The Outpatience, but that is in fact West Arkeen's band. The song is taken from The Outpatience - Anxious Disease and features Axl and Slash on the track 'Anxious Disease'.
Track 16 is fake. It is a recording of a Van Halen cover band. The release incorrectly states that it is featuring Van Halen.
Track 18 is a fake track commonly labelled as being performed by Axl Rose. The release gives the artist as "Axl As Bing Crosby", but it is actually an unconfirmed impersonator.
Tracks 3, 4, 10, 11, 13 and 17 are listed as "First Live Recording[s]". This is incorrect when applied to track 11 as it is the studio version, and track 17 as it is a pre-1990 demo.
Track 13 is a live recording "Made In Las Vegas".
