The Oldest GNR Flyer around...

[Christos AG]

I got this from a friend who used to live in LA in the good times. I had sent it to John, don't know if he put it in the almanac yet.

Anyway, I believe it's the oldest GNR flyer and it's really cool that we found it after all these years...

[Christos AG]

but who's Ole?

Don't have a clue...

Axl should bring Tracii back, that would shut up all the idiots who don't give the new band a chance because they think Slash was the original Gn'R guitarist, and won't except anyone else.

Well, Slash was the first guitarist that recorded songs with the band, so they're kinda right...

Tracii left for no serious reason. And don't forget that without Slash we wouldn't have many GNR songs like SCOM, Estranged and all the beautiful solos in other songs...

Ole was the bassist back then

I understand where you're comming from and I agreethat Slash is great, I just think it would blow some peoples minds to find out that there was a GnR before Slash.

i found it at Google, but its also in HTGH History

August 31st, 1984 - Hollywood Rose plays a "After Hours Party" show at the Shamrock Studios on Santa Monica Boulevard at 2:00AM.
During 1984 Hollywood Rose also opens for the band Stryper at the Music Machine. Also on the bill is Slash's band at the time called Black Sheep. Hollywood Rose breaks up after this show.

Izzy joins a band called London while Axl sings in LA Guns with Ole Beich on bass and Rob Gardner on drums.

Later Duff joins the band and the lineup looks like this:

W. Axl Rose (vocals)
Izzy Stradlin (guitar)
Tracii Guns (guitar)
Duff McKagan (bass)
Rob Gardner (drums)

it is safe to say however that hollywood rose was the earliest incarnation of gnr that we know... oh and road crew, slash and stevens band. i hope im right

[fora]

Ok This is what I know.

1. Raz Records (there's the logo in the flyer) was the first music label to sign L.A. Guns (in the flyer there is the old logo of L.A. Guns, used for the first EP released in 1984 on Raz Records)
2. In 1984-85 the L.A. Guns were: W.Axl Rose (then Michael Jagosz) Vocals, Ole Beach Bass, Tracii Guns Guitars, Rob Gardner Drums
3. I think this is one the first shows of GUNS n' ROSES, cause it says L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose presents the new Band ...

Guns N' Roses was the union of L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose: Ole, Tracii and Rob from Guns, and Izzy and Axl from Rose.

I think that after few days, Ole Beach was replaced by DUFF.

no. The band in the flyer was Guns N Roses, not Hollywood Rose. Tracii Guns had never been in Hollywood Rose.

The first GN'R Line-up was:

W. Axl Rose V
Tracii Guns G
Izzy Stradlin G
Ole Beach B
Rob Gardner D

then

W. Axl Rose V
Tracii Guns G
Izzy Stradlin G
Duff McKagan B
Rob Gardner D

then

W. Axl Rose V
Slash G
Izzy Stradlin G
Duff McKagan B
Steven Adler D

and i read an interview with Tracii, and he said that they recorded a couple of tracks (demos) for Raz Records as Guns N' Roses too.
