Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And don't you know

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby

And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

And please remember that I never lied
And please remember
how I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby

And don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight

伴随着音乐巨星W.Axl.Rose（原名Bill Bailey）这些年来类似于自毁前程式的隐居生活，在90年代的大部分时间里这个问题始终萦绕在那些焦急的等待着Rose新的举动的歌迷的心头。Guns N‘Roses这个仅仅只剩下一个当初乐队原班人马——Rose自己的组合，自1993年以来未出过一张专辑，而且也只发行过一支单曲，即在阿诺德施瓦辛格的电影《魔鬼末日》(End of Days)中的插曲《Oh My God》。
   1962年2月6日， Rose出生在印第安纳州拉斐特一个虔诚的基督教家庭中。童年时期，他曾经在教堂的合唱团唱歌，而且被严格禁止接触摇滚乐。他17岁的时候，发现他的生父是一个叫做William Rose的人，William在他2岁的时候抛弃了Rose和他的家庭。Rose在知道这件事情之后开始以各种各样的反叛行为来抵触社会，如在超市中盗窃或是公开酗酒。1980年，Axl为了追求自由和在摇滚世界中成名来到了洛杉矶（Los Angeles）。

   有关于W.Axl.Rose这个名字的来源有三种说法，一是来自于他在Indiana时所遇到的一支乐队；二是来自于他的滑板的轴（Axle）；三是源于“Axl Rose”这个词是由“口交”（oral sex）一词的回文构词法而来这一事实。在洛杉矶Rose结时了另一个来自印第安那的吉他手Izzy Stradlin。他们两人加上吉他手Tracii Guns 和鼓手Rob Garner组成了一个乐队，曾经先后起名叫A-X-L Rose，Hollywood Roses 和L.A. Guns，最后定名为Guns N‘ Roses。Guns和Garner先后离开了这个乐队，而另外一支乐队的鼓手Steven Adler和吉他手Slash则加入了Guns N‘ Roses。很快贝司手Michael McKagan也加入了他们。Guns N‘ Roses于1985年与他们的主要签约公司，由Geffen资助的VZI Suicide合作发行了一盘现场演出录影带，"Live ?! Like a Suicide"。

   1987年，Guns N‘ Roses发行了他们的首张专辑，《Appetite For Destruction》，而且也没有在回击各种批评上浪费时间。这张专辑以一个受到机器人侮辱的艳丽的女人为插页，同时把公司的名字移到了封套的里面以此作为对轻佻的零售商们的回击。《Appetite For Destruction》这张专辑里有三首歌曲进入排行榜前十位，“Sweet Child o‘ Mine”、“Welcome to the Jungle”、“Paradise City”，这同时也使这张专辑跻身专辑排行榜首位，并在全世界范围内达到了2千万张的销量。无论以任何一种标准来衡量，Guns N‘ Rose的这张专辑在摇滚史上都可说是最为成功的首张专辑。

   与此同时在乐队内部却已经产生了裂痕。在他们的巡回演出中，Adler在一次群殴中受伤，不得不退出了乐队；而Rose本人也因拒绝出席在凤凰城的演唱会而被开除。此后他又重新加入Guns N‘ Roses，但麻烦事接踵而来，当它们在英国的“摇滚怪兽”（Monsters of Rock）上演出的时候，又有两个歌迷因拥挤而被践踏致死。

   Geffen此后又重新发行了《Live ?! Like a Suicide》这一录影带，并加上了4首歌曲，还为它重新取名为《GN‘R Lies》。新歌有“One in a Million”（暗指黑人和男同性恋者）、“Used to Love Her”，这首歌中有一句著名的歌词“I used to love you，But I had to kill you”。

   Rose本人对此不以为然，认为这些歌是他个人感情真实的宣泄。但乐队的成员和一些歌迷都对这些歌不满意，但是这又确实促成了另外一首歌曲“Patience”的问世。

   很快，Guns N‘ Roses变成了坏孩子们模仿的最新样板。Stradlin因在飞机上小便被逮捕，而Rose与Erin Everly，歌手Don Everly的女儿，举行了闪电式的婚礼。Slash和McKagen在美国音乐颁奖典礼上接受了一个奖项的同时口出污言秽语，并作了极为下流的动作，而这个颁奖典礼是在全国范围内转播的。有关他们服用海洛因的小道消息满天飞，1990年Adler因服用毒品被轰出了乐队。接着，Rose因承认用瓶子袭击一个女人而被捕，而Rose打她的理由却只是她要求Rose把收音机音量调小一点。

   1991年，这支乐队又增添了两名新成员，鼓手Matt Sorum和键盘手Dizzy Reed，但麻烦又随之而来。在印第安那波利斯，Rose把那里的人比作“奥斯威辛集中营中的战俘”，并在演唱会上迟到，还做出了极具挑衅性的动作。7月份在圣路易斯的河湾体育场演出的时候，只因有人拍照，Rose便冲入人群，这使得现场几乎成了一场暴动，他还愤怒地中断了演唱会。这一切给这个崭新的体育场造成了20万美元的损失。

   在1991年秋天，《Use your Illusion》I和II相继发行，并很快占据BillBoard专辑排行榜的前两名。这两张专辑中有数首歌曲打入单曲排行榜，“You Could be Mine”、“Live and Let Die”（翻唱Paul McCartney的歌曲）、“Don‘t Cry”和“November Rain”。在《Use your Illusion》II的录像带中大量的使用了Rose当时的情人/模特Stephanie Seymour作为主角。

   在受够了Rose各种各样的古怪的习惯之后，Stradlin离开了乐队，而Gilby Clarke加入进来。1992年，发生了数起由同性恋者和其他被“One in a Million”这首歌激怒的人所组织的游行抗议事件。在蒙特利尔，发生了另外一场骚动，起因是这样的：在一场演出中，因为James Hetfield 被舞台上的烟火所伤，所以Metallica的演出被缩短了，然而15分钟后，Rose却因为声音还没有恢复正常而退出了演出。

   此后，很难说清楚在Guns N‘ Roses这支乐队里发生的到底是喜剧还是悲剧。Axl与Seymour分道扬镳；乐队又发行了新专辑《The Spaghetti Incident?》，一张朋克摇滚的合集，这张专辑中还包括一首由Charles Manson写的歌曲。当Axl官司缠身的时候，乐队仅出了一首单曲。当一切都平静下来之后，Guns N‘ Roses内部的分裂又开始了。

   Slash在Michael Jackson和Bob Dylan的唱片中出现，并自组乐队Snakepit。McKagan也录制了个人的唱片，并在《Neurotic Outsiders》中与Sorum和Sex Pistol乐队的Steve Jones合作。Clarke被解雇，而Rose也曾一度离开乐队，但不久又回来并取得了乐队的商标权，他接着又解雇了Slash、Sorum和McKagan。当时还有一群歌手围着Guns N‘ Roses转，包括吉他手Zakk Wylde、Robin Finck、Paul Huge、Chris Vrenna和鼓手Dave Abruzzese。

   现在这支乐队由Rose、键盘手Reed、前Replacements乐队的贝司手Tommy Stinson和鼓手Josh Freese组成，他们与吉他手Huge、Finck和前“红热辣椒面”（Red Hot Chili Peppers）乐队的吉他手Dave Navarro合作重新录制了《Oh My God》。但是乐队新专辑的发行却遥遥无期。当乐队在继续寻找他们新的灵感和声音的时候， Guns N‘ Roses乐队的忠实的歌迷可以在近期见到他们的一张现场演出专辑，《Live Era‘87‘-93》，这里面包括了1987到1993年的歌曲，还有Black Sabbath一首歌曲“It‘s Alright”的翻唱。

At a time when pop was dominated by dance music and pop-metal, Guns N' Roses brought raw, ugly rock & roll crashing back into the charts. They were not nice boys; nice boys don't play rock & roll. They were ugly, misogynist, and violent; they were also funny, vulnerable, and occasionally sensitive, as their breakthrough hit, "Sweet Child O' Mine," showed. While Slash and Izzy Stradlin ferociously spit out dueling guitar riffs worthy of Aerosmith or the Stones, Axl Rose screeched out his tales of sex, drugs, and apathy in the big city. Meanwhile, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler were a limber rhythm section who kept the music loose and powerful. Guns N' Roses' music was basic and gritty, with a solid hard, bluesy base; they were dark, sleazy, dirty, and honest — everything that good hard rock and heavy metal should be. There was something refreshing about a band who could provoke everything from devotion to hatred, especially since both sides were equally right. There hadn't been a hard rock band this raw or talented in years, and they were given added weight by Axl Rose's primal rage, the sound of confused, frustrated white trash vying for his piece of the pie. As the '80s became the '90s, there simply wasn't a more interesting band around, but owing to intra-band friction and the emergence of alternative rock, Rose's supporting cast gradually disintegrated, as he spent several years in seclusion.

Guns N' Roses released their first EP in 1986, which led to a contract with Geffen; the following year, the band released their debut album, Appetite for Destruction. They started to build a following with their numerous live shows, but the album didn't start selling until almost a year later, when MTV started playing "Sweet Child o' Mine." Soon, both the album and single shot to number one, and Guns N' Roses became one of the biggest bands in the world. Their debut single, "Welcome to the Jungle," was re-released and shot into the Top Ten, and "Paradise City" followed in its footsteps. By the end of 1988, they released G N' R Lies, which paired four new, acoustic-based songs (including the Top Five hit "Patience") with their first EP. G N' R Lies' inflammatory closer, "One in a Million," sparked intense controversy, as Axl Rose slipped into misogyny, bigotry, and pure violence; essentially, he somehow managed to distill every form of prejudice and hatred into one five-minute tune.


Guns N' Roses began work on the long-awaited follow-up to Appetite for Destruction at the end of 1990. In October of that year, the band fired Adler, claiming that his drug dependency caused him to play poorly; he was replaced by Matt Sorum from the Cult. During recording, the band added Dizzy Reed on keyboards. By the time the sessions were finished, the new album had become two new albums. After being delayed for nearly a year, the albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II were released in September 1991. Messy but fascinating, the albums showcased a more ambitious band; while there were still a fair number of full-throttle guitar rockers, there were stabs at Elton John-style balladry, acoustic blues, horn sections, female backup singers, ten-minute art rock epics with several different sections, and a good number of introspective, soul-searching lyrics. In short, they were now making art; amazingly, they were successful at it. The albums sold very well initially, but while they had seemed destined to set the pace for the decade to come, that turned out not to be the case at all.


Nirvana's Nevermind hit number one in early 1992, suddenly making Guns N' Roses — with all of their pretensions, impressionistic videos, models, and rock star excesses — seem very uncool. Rose handled the change by becoming a dictator, or at least a petty tyrant; his in-concert temper tantrums became legendary, even going so far as to incite a riot in Montreal. Stradlin left by the end of 1991, and with his departure the band lost their best songwriter; he was replaced by ex-Kill for Thrills guitarist Gilby Clarke. The band didn't fully grasp the shift in hard rock until 1993, when they released an album of punk covers, The Spaghetti Incident?; it received some good reviews, but the band failed to capture the reckless spirit of not only the original versions, but their own Appetite for Destruction. By the middle of 1994, there were rumors flying that the band was about to break up, since Rose wanted to pursue a new, more industrial direction and Slash wanted to stick with their blues-inflected hard rock. The band remained in limbo for several more years, and Slash resurfaced in 1995 with the side project Slash's Snakepit and an LP, It's Five O'Clock Somewhere.


Rose remained out of the spotlight, becoming a virtual recluse and doing nothing but tinkering in the studio; he also recruited various musicians — including Dave Navarro, Tommy Stinson, and ex-Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck — for informal jam sessions. Remaining members were infuriated by Rose's inclusion of childhood friend Paul Huge in the new sessions when both Stradlin and Clarke were excluded from rejoining the band. And a remake of the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" was essentially the straw that broke the camel's back, as Rose cut out some of the other member's contributions and pasted Huge over the song without consulting anyone else. By 1996 Slash was officially out of Guns N' Roses, leaving Rose the lone remaining survivor from the group's heyday; rumors continued to swirl, and still no new material was forthcoming, though Rose did re-record Appetite for Destruction with a new lineup for rehearsal purposes. The first new original G N' R song in eight years, the industrial metal sludge of "Oh My God" finally appeared on the soundtrack to the 1999 Arnold Schwarzenegger film End of Days. Soon after, Geffen issued the two-disc Live Era 1987-1993.


2000 brought the addition of guitarists Robin Finck (of Nine Inch Nails) and Buckethead. 2001 was greeted with Guns N' Roses' first live dates in nearly seven years, as the band (who consisted of Rose plus guitarists Finck, Buckethead, bassist Stinson, former Primus drummer Brian Mantia, childhood friend and guitarist Paul Huge, and longtime G N' R keyboardist Dizzy Reed) played a show on New Years Eve 2000 in Las Vegas, playing as well at the mammoth Rock in Rio festival the following month. A new album was announced for a summer release, but the date came and went without any CDs hitting the shelves. A summer tour of Europe was planned, but before tickets could go on sale Rose announced that the tour was cancelled and the band went into seclusion until New Years Eve of 2001. They played almost the exact same set as the year before, but they still managed to brew up some news by not allowing any former members to watch the show. Slash tried to get onto the guest list, and even claims to have tried to sneak in through a security guard. Manager Doug Goldstein released a statement taking full responsibility for the banning of former members, claiming that he was not sure of their intentions and he wanted to avoid making Rose nervous.


2002 started with no new Axl news, instead seeing former members Slash, Duff, and Izzy work together on new material for Stradlin's new album. Rose eventually ended up in music news as he fired producer Roy Thomas Baker from the group's newest recording sessions, adding him to the superstar list of producers that had been attached to the project at various points (including Moby, Mike Clink, Youth, Bob Ezrin, and many others.) Slash's contributions to Izzy's album didn't make the final cut, but rumors of a new band featuring former members McKagan, Sorum, and Slash began circulating by the end of the spring. A slew of Japanese and British festival dates were set in the spring, but the mysterious new album continued to elude fans as the release date was pushed into the fall of 2002. Before those concert dates rolled around, guitarist Paul Huge left the group, quickly replaced by former Love Spit Love member Richard Fortus.


An appearance at MTV's annual Video Music Awards helped garner interest in the new lineup, but a rusty performance from Rose and an interview where he said his new album wasn't coming out anytime soon didn't do much to further their cause. That summer, the band started on their first tour in almost eight years, and they managed to fulfill all of their commitments in Europe in Asia. Sadly, they caused a violent and destructive riot in Vancouver when Rose failed to show up for the first date of their North American tour. Tour openers CKY were especially inconvenienced, as Rose had only asked them days before to reroute from California to Canada for the show. A few shows managed to come together, with Rose hitting the stage quite late at certain dates. But Rose didn't show up for a Philadelphia concert after allowing both opening acts to go on beforehand. The costly vandalism that followed the announcement was enough to convince tour backers Clear Channel to cut their ties with the group, ending the tour and convincing CKY to verbally thrash the group on their website. While he was up to his old shenanigans with the retooled lineup, former members Stradlin, Slash, Sorum and McKagan finally put an end to the rumors and announced that they were searching for a vocalist for a new, Axl-free band.


The years between albums have grown into a running joke in the music industry, Interscope's frustration with the millions dumped into the recording has become secondary to Rose's reclusive insistence to perfect his material. By leaving the industry on such a strong note, Rose's image has been frozen in time as the frustrating, angry, yet sensitive genius behind the microphone, an image he might not be ready to live up to as the years go by. Despite what happens to most groups that have stayed out of the limelight for ten years, the legend of Guns N' Roses continues to grow with each year. Whatever may happen with the new lineup, the five original members continue to enjoy celebrity status despite having their post-GN'R material show less than enthusiastic sales. By writing one of the most critical hard rock albums of all time, they have secured their status as the most vital force to hit the mainstream rock scene in the 80's. — Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Greg Prato
