Guns N' Roses' music was basic and gritty, with a solid hard, bluesy base they were dark, sleazy, dirty, and honest - everything that good hard rock and heavy metal should be. Meanwhile, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler were a limber rhythm section who kept the music loose and powerful. While Slash and Izzy Stradlin ferociously spit out dueling guitar riffs worthy of Aerosmith or the Stones, Axl Rose screeched out his tales of sex, drugs, and apathy in the big city. They were ugly, misogynistic, and violent they were also funny, vulnerable, and occasionally sensitive, as their breakthrough hit, "Sweet Child O' Mine," showed. They were not nice boys nice boys don't play rock & roll. At a time when pop was dominated by dance music and pop-metal, Guns N' Roses brought raw, ugly rock & roll crashing back into the charts.
