Guns’n’Roses, fronted by the lithe and limber Axl Rose, were undisputed kings of sophisticated rock music in 1987, not only for wearing cycle shorts on stage. “Appetite for Destruction” has sold over 30 million copies around the world, with “Use Your Illusion” selling another 35 million. Rose was known for inciting riots and throwing liquor bottles at audiences during live acts at the time, in addition to having a loud voice. However, due to personal conflicts, the project quickly fell apart. The band returned after a long break with “Chinese Democracy,” which did not perform as well as their label had intended.

If you don’t work very hard, it’s easy to fall into the habit of consuming comfort food. That appears to be the case with Axl Rose, who has aged from a young to a more adult appearance. On Twitter, he extols the benefits of Taco Bell, but isn’t rock & roll all about excess? Doritos’ overly cheesy Gordita Crunches could have saved him a lot of liquor backstage during his glory days. He is, on the other hand, on his way out. In 2016, he took over as the leader of AC/tour DC, and Guns’n’Roses reunited and launched a worldwide tour. You’ve got it, Axl!
