<P> Guns N' Roses' late 1980s and early 1990s years have been described as the period in which the group brought forth a "hedonistic rebelliousness" reminiscent of the early Rolling Stones, a reputation that had earned the group the nickname "the most dangerous band in the world". The band's classic lineup, along with later members keyboardist Dizzy Reed and drummer Matt Sorum, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, its first year of eligibility . </P> <P> The band's membership has changed many times since the early 1990s, with Rose and Reed as the only two constant members since 1990 . The current lineup consists of Rose, Slash, McKagan, Reed, guitarist Richard Fortus, drummer Frank Ferrer and keyboardist Melissa Reese . </P> <P> In 1984, Hollywood Rose member Izzy Stradlin was living with L.A. Guns member Tracii Guns . When L.A. Guns needed a new vocalist, Stradlin suggested Hollywood Rose singer Axl Rose . Guns N' Roses was formed in March 1985 by Rose and rhythm guitarist Stradlin, along with lead guitarist Tracii Guns, bassist Ole Beich, and drummer Rob Gardner of L.A. Guns . The band coined its name by combining the names of both previous groups . Rejected names for the band included "Heads of Amazon" and "AIDS". After a short time, during which the band reportedly played two or three shows, Beich was fired and replaced by Duff McKagan . Tracii Guns left the band after an argument with Rose leading to his replacement by Rose and Stradlin's one - time Hollywood Rose bandmate, Slash . Gardner quit soon after and was replaced by another former Hollywood Rose member, Steven Adler . Slash had also previously played with McKagan and Adler in Road Crew . </P> <P> The band's "classic" lineup was finalized on June 4, 1985 when Adler and Slash officially joined . After two days of rehearsals, the band played their first show with the lineup on June 6, 1985 . Two days later, the band embarked on a short, disorganized tour of the West Coast, from Sacramento, California, to McKagan's hometown of Seattle, Washington . The band drove in a separate van and had to abandon their gear when both vans broke down on the way to Seattle, forcing them to hitch - hike up the coast and back home to LA with only their guitars . The so - called "Hell Tour" settled the band's first stable lineup, with McKagan later commenting, "This trip had set a new benchmark for what we were capable of, what we could and would put ourselves through to achieve our goals as a band ." Through the band's increasing presence on the Hollywood club scene--playing famed bars such as The Troubadour and The Roxy--Guns N' Roses drew the attention of major record labels . The group signed with Geffen Records in March 1986, receiving a $75,000 advance . They had turned down an offer from Chrysalis Records that was nearly double Geffen's, due to Chrysalis wanting to change the band's image and sound and Geffen offering full artistic freedom . </P>
