Why did guns n roses split up?

Answer 1

There isn't a whole lot of improvement I can do here, except, no one really knows why they broke up, nether do they, you're right about the replacements made with Gilby Clarke, and so on, and of course there was a lot of drug usuage between all of the members of Guns-N-Roses, Axl wasn't the only one with addictions. The front man usually gets the blame for any member(s) fallout. Yes Axl seemed concieted at times as well as Slash, and as well as others, wouldn't you? Being one of the top selling metal bands in history? But with that said, all went wrong was some legal complications involving contracts, drug use, and some creative conflicts. To say that Axl didn't care about the fans, or the band isn't fair, considering he came out with an album last year(Chinese Democracy), very successful, and by far one of Guns-N-Roses' best work, with returning Dizzy Reed, and Paul Tobias. You can't really call a performer a 'sellout' because that's how they to have make money, they "sell" albums; selling themselves, and their premodonnas, same goes for actors, and dancers, etc.

Truth is, no band lasts forever. Even the greatest of bands have had replacements over the years, and they too have had creative conflicts, like The Beetles, Elvis, AC/DC, Metallica, Bon Jovi, I Mother Earth, Blind Melon, I can go on. Hope this answers it. Take care.

I know one of the reason's was because axl rose was trying to write more music but because of drugs etc he started to become more racist towards black people by using the N-word etc and of course slash didn't want any part of that because he's half Brazilian so obviously he not going to stay if he's being a over the top daft racist! and then there was a lot of creative issues i.e they was suppose to be a hard rock band and suddenly axl wanted to start using the piano etc and the band didnt like the direction it was goin so then i think axl got a big strop on and told the band either they go and sign complete control over to him or he's quitting and shut the brand down. how much of that last bit is true i don't know. but why don't you just search for the GNR biography and watch it??

Answer 2

AnswerSlash says because Axl got too controling and pretty much decided that guns and roses was his project. I believe Duff agrees.

A: yeah and izzy left first as he got really annoyed with axl. axl made the band sign over the name 'guns 'n' roses' to him or he would end the band right then. so they did whats best for there fans and signed the name over to him.

No they broke up because slah had just started herion and axl saw that slash was stealin his stash. and axl was like "hey, stop stealin my china white (slang for herion). " and slash just left

no it is because axl rose was going out of controll like with hiting his gilfriend and stuff

First answer is correct. Axl never had a heroin habit and Slash had had one before Guns got big. This from a big Slash/Duff fan.

Answer 3

Actually, Not noly Slash has left Guns N Roses but all of the original members of the band have too except for Axle Rose. The reason he left though was because Axle Rose is tight. (although he is a good singer).

Answer 4

The band Guns'n Roses broke up because Axl Rose (lead vocalist) and Slash (lead guitarist) began to disagree on the music being played which than led to them breaking up.

Answer 5

Axel rose rejected some songs he wrote, so slash formed his own band slashes snakepit
