Guns N Roses – Use Your Illusion II
8.00€
Use Your Illusion II, released in 1991 alongside Volume I, showcases the more political, melancholic, and expansive side of Guns N' Roses.
Far from being a simple sequel, this album reveals artistic ambition and a growing maturity in both songwriting and production. Tracks like “Civil War,” “Estranged,” and the cover of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” explore themes of conflict, loss, and redemption through grand arrangements and dramatic dynamics. Axl Rose’s powerful vocals and Slash’s emotive guitar work lead a sonic journey that moves between raw rock intensity and epic balladry. A landmark in ’90s hard rock, where the band dared to push beyond genre boundaries.
