Musical style
The music of Guns N' Roses is a fusion of punk rock, blues-rock, heavy metal and hard rock.[82][7] In the 1990s, the band integrated keyed instruments (played by either Rose or Reed, and accompanied on tour by Teddy Andreadis) into the band, and for roughly half of the Use Your Illusion tour, added a horn section to the stage.[7] While Reed has remained on some of the Chinese Democracy demos, tours since 2000 have not included wind instruments, though the band has employed synthesized horns on some of their new songs.
A heavy influence on both the image and sound of the band was Finnish band Hanoi Rocks (singer Michael Monroe and Rose have collaborated on various occasions).[7] Rose has stated that the band was massively inspired by groups like Queen,[83] AC/DC,[84] The Rolling Stones,[85] and Rose Tattoo[86] and that the sound of Appetite for Destruction was influenced by AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, the New York Dolls, and Hanoi Rocks.[87]
Guns N' Roses has also influenced many modern mainstream rock bands such as Avenged Sevenfold, Mother Love Bone (which would eventually become Pearl Jam), Buckcherry, Dir En Grey, X Japan, Nashville Pussy, Hinder, The Darkness, and Limp Bizkit, among others.[88]
