The story of Axl Rose, the iconic frontman of Guns N' Roses, traces the transformation of William Bruce Rose Jr. into a rock legend. In the early 1980s, William, striving for his identity in the Los Angeles music scene, joined a band called AXL, which eventually became Hollywood Rose.

This name change was not just casual; it symbolized his commitmen

A lack of control inherent to his personality got him in trouble with the law from very early on, leading him to show his worst side in what was, perhaps, the most disastrous show of the decade.
