Abstract

This scientific essay seeks to answer one of the biggest questions in the history of music: why didn't Guns n' Roses release new material after the release of the double albums Use Your Illusion I and II, in 1991? This is a complex answer that cannot be exhausted in a short text, given the phenomenological dimension that involves it; However, here we have tried to provide a guideline that clarifies some key points in the band's musical trajectory and its relationship with music, with fans and with their dream companions. Guns is a phenomenon in its own right, difficult to explain from its composition to the success they achieved with their sound, in which they mix exact doses of a wild and harmonic style with a hoarse voice that exudes passion and pain throughout lyrics that express the purest existentialism. Some people refer to Guns n' Roses as the last of the giants; but this is a complex question, because the emergence of the group is not; However, the launch of Illusion is situated in a context of historical-sociological inflection, and can be analyzed and interpreted as a generational behavioral transformation and, by accident, they end up being caught up in it or, even, they may have represented the cataclysm that completely determined the end of an era in music. The musical representations performed by musicians and orchestras [ symphonic and philharmonic ] that can be seen in myriads around the world seek to give more life to the sound and not to change its sound composition, which proves that they have managed to remain as musicians that others do not wish to surpass in terms of sound and musical aesthetics. With this, Guns n' Roses has become an indelible brand.
