Use Your Illusion I

'Use Your Illusion I' found Axl Rose ranting on songs about being sued by a neighbour ('Right Next Door to Hell'), dysfunctional relationships ('Back off Bitch'), and a drug overdose ('Coma').

Amid all the spewed bile, Guns n' Roses scored three Top 40 hits with a Wings cover ('Live and Let Die'), a piano-driven, Elton John-flavoured epic ('November Rain'), and a hard-edged ballad ('Don't Cry'). Celebrity cameos include a then unknown Shannon Hoon, Hanoi Rocks' Mike Monroe, and Alice Cooper, who makes a particularly sinister contribution to 'The Garden.'
