Guns N 'Roses took the pop music scene of the '80s by storm. With their wild looks, their irreverent attitude and a repertoire firing in all directions, Guns N' Roses caught the attention of both rockers and pop fans alike. Their legacy and influence has been undeniable. The Many Faces in a stunning triple album, that not even the band itself had possible imagined. With an impressive presentation and remastered sound, this collection presents many of the band members' side projects; some of their not so well known songs plus a complete map of music scene where they were born, with songs from each of the bands that shared their beginnings. For all these reasons, The Many Faces Of Guns N 'Roses is a unique album, a must for anyone who has ever enjoyed the band's music.

This live concert film captures a post-Chinese Democracy era Guns N' Roses performing in late 2012 at The Joint in Las Vegas' Hard Rock Casino. GN'R namesake Axl Rose leads a revamped version of the band (including former Replacements member Tommy Stinson on bass and longtime Guns collaborator Dizzy Reed on keyboards) through almost three hours of material…

This is a historic release, the first official appearance of recordings by Hollywood Rose, the band that would later mutate into Guns N' Roses. These were cut in 1984, when the band was led by Axl Rose and guitarists Izzy Stradlin and Chris Weber, with Johnny Kreis on drums, and these are the recordings that initially got Hollywood Rose playing the L.A. club circuit; Tracii Guns, the guitarist who later split to form L.A. Guns, would come along later, along with bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler. Hearing this original five-song demo, it's easy to see why Vicky Hamilton, the group's first manager, took them under her wing – they were harder, tougher, rawer, and meaner than any of the metal coming out of Los Angeles during 1984.

Once Appetite for Destruction finally became a hit in 1988, Guns N' Roses bought some time by delivering the half-old/half-new LP G N' R Lies as a follow-up. Constructed as a double EP, with the "indie" debut Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide coming first and four new acoustic-based songs following on the second side, G N' R Lies is where the band metamorphosed from genuine threat to joke…

Guns N' Roses - Live Era '87-'93 is a four record live album by Guns N' Roses, released on November 23, 1999. The album was the first official Guns N' Roses release since "The Spaghetti Incident?" released on the same day in 1993. Former guitarist Slash notes that the album is "not pretty and there are a lot of mistakes, but this is Guns N' Roses, not the fucking Mahavishnu Orchestra. It's as honest as it gets." The dates and locations of the tracks are not revealed in the liner notes, and are only referred to simply as being "Recorded across the universe between 1987 and 1993". However, the majority of the tracks on the four records are sourced from the extensive Use Your Illusion Tour of 1991-1993. Only two tracks come from 1988 live recordings - "Used to Love Her" and "You're Crazy".

Guns N' Roses - Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide is a four-song EP released by Guns N' Roses on December 16, 1986 on the label, UZI Suicide. (This was ostensibly a self-released record but UZI Suicide was actually part of Geffen Records.) When referred to by the band members talking about the EP, they have simply called it Live Like a Suicide. The record itself was limited to only 10,000 copies, and it came out only in vinyl and cassette formats.
