Celebrate Axl Rose's 60th Birthday With Guns N' Roses Top Songs!

Singer W. AxlRose was born William Bruce Rose Jr. on February 6, 1962, in Lafayette, Indiana. This means that Rose is celebrating his 60th birthday today!

Axl Rose is a singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer. He's best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist of the hard rock band Guns N' Roses and has been the only constant member of the band since the band was founded in 1985. He has also toured with AC/DC after Brian Johnson temporarily left the band due to hearing loss in 2016. Numerous media outlets have named Rose one of the best singers of all time!

After being born and raised in Lafayette, Indiana, Rose moved to Los Angeles in the early 1980s. He joined several bands there, including Hollywood Rose and L.A. Guns. In 1985, he cofounded Guns N' Roses. In 1987, the band released their first album, "Appetite for Destruction," which has sold over 30 million copies worldwide. It's also the best-selling debut album of all time in the U.S. with over 18 million copies sold.

In 1991, the band followed it up with "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II," which were both met with critical acclaim. Although the band broke up in 1994, Rose was able to continue working under the Guns N' Roses name due to having the legal right to do so when the band first started. In 2001, he brought back Guns N' Roses and released "Chinese Democracy" in 2008, which failed to live up to the expectations of its predecessors.

In 2012, Rose was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Guns N' Roses but declined to attend and actually asked to be excluded from the legendary rock hall.
