where did the name guns and roses come from
Guns N' Roses In 1984, Hollywood Rose member Izzy Stradlin was living with L.A. Guns member Tracii Guns.[1] When L.A. Guns needed a new vocalist, Stradlin suggested Hollywood Rose singer Axl Rose.[1] Guns N' Roses was formed in March 1985 by Rose and rhythm guitarist Stradlin, along with lead guitarist Tracii Guns, bassist Ole Beich, and drummer Rob Gardner of L.A. Guns.[2] The band coined its name by combining the names of both previous groups. Rejected names for the band included "Heads of Amazon" and "AIDS".[3] After a short time, during which the band reportedly played two or three shows, Beich was fired and replaced by Duff McKagan.[4] Tracii Guns left the band after an argument with Rose leading to his replacement by Rose and Stradlin's one-time Hollywood Rose bandmate, Slash.[1] Gardner quit soon after and was replaced by another former Hollywood Rose member, Steven Adler.[5][6] Slash had also previously played with McKagan and Adler in Road Crew.[6]

The Pale The word pale derives ultimately from the Latin word
Sawyer Brown The band originally chose the name Savanna. When another band with a similar name emerged, the group decided to change its own moniker. They met at their manager's office in Nashville and began looking through area telephone books for inspiration. They blindly landed on the name of a nearby thoroughfare, Sawyer Brown Road, and derived the new band name "Sawyer Brown".[1][2]
