Guns N' Rosesis an iconic American hard rockband that gained immense popularity in the late '80s and early '90s. The band is often miscredited as " hair metal" based on their original fashion style, but on subsequent albums revealed a heavy influence from bands in the vein of Aerosmithand The Rolling Stones, as well as many other artists including Queen, Led Zeppelin, AC/DCand Metallica. The music on their first album was, at the time, compared to early Aerosmith due to lead guitarist Slash's bluesy riffs. They are also the most successful sleaze metalact, with other bands in the genre such as Faster Pussycatand L.A. Gunsnever breaking into the mainstream with near as much success as Guns N' Roses.

Guns N' Roses

Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

'YOU JUST BETTER START SNIFFIN' YOUR OWN RANK SUBJUGATION JACK 'CAUSE IT'S
JUST
YOU AGAINST YOUR TATTERED LIBIDO, THE BANK AND THE MORTICIAN, FOREVER MAN
AND IT
WOULDN'T BE LUCK IF YOU COULD GET OUT OF LIFE ALIVE'

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
