Guns N Roses

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Guns N Roses formed in 1985 and the band members were dark, sleazy, dirty, and honest — everything that good hard rock and heavy metal should be.  And their music was basic and gritty, with a solid hard, bluesy base. There hadn’t been a hard rock band this raw or talented in years, and they were given added weight by Axl Rose’s primal rage, the sound of confused, frustrated white trash vying for his piece of the pie.   At a time when dance music dominated the airwaves, these bad boys brought hard rock crashing back onto the charts in a big and loud way.

For 100 Jack Nation Points, what was the name of the record company that signed GNR to a record contract after the band released an EP in 1986?

Leave your answer under “comments” and I’ll e-mail you a bonus code if you know your stuff.

Have a great weekend and welcome to the jungle!
