Axl Rose is an American record producer, singer, songwriter, and activist. The lead vocalist of the popular band 'Guns N' Roses,' Axl has been the band's only constant member since its formation in 1985. Known for his controversial public persona, Axl is revered by millions of fans around the world, while others consider him to be a misogynistic, maniacal singer who often takes his frustrations out on his band members. Axl Rose is often ranked among music industry’s most dramatized personalities. Much of his behavioral problems are attributed to his difficult childhood. After being kicked out of home, he was arrested on numerous occasions for public intoxication. He then decided to mend his ways and became active in Los Angeles' hard rock scene. He went on to co-found ‘Guns N' Roses,’ which became extremely popular in the late-1980s and early-90s. The band’s first album ‘Appetite for Destruction’ became a hit all over the world. Subsequently, the band came up with several hit albums, such as ‘Use Your Illusion I’ and ‘Use Your Illusion II.’ After the conclusion of the band's 'Use Your Illusion Tour,' Axl disappeared from public life. For the next few years, the band did not tour or perform and no new albums or singles were released. In 2001, Axl resurfaced with new band members and ‘Guns N' Roses’ was revitalized. As a member of ‘Guns N' Roses,’ Axl was inducted into the ‘Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’ in 2012. He is rated as one of the ‘greatest singers of all time’ by NME and ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine.
