Hollywood Rose : The Roots Of Guns N' Roses

 Originally formed

 under the name

 AXL

 in 1983 

by Chris Weber,

 Izzy Stradlin, 

and 

Axl Rose,

 they later switched to

 Rose 

around 

Christmas 1983 

and added

 Johnny Kreis 

on drums 

and a bassist

 unknown

 if it's Rick Mars,

 as he still played

 in Pyrrhus 

around late 1983

 Around April 1984, 

after finding another band 

with the same name,

 they switched to

 Hollywood Rose.

Aside from Axl, 

Chris, and Izzy, 

Johnny was their only

 consistent member. 

They had a few 

different bass players;

 Andre Toxx, 

Rick Mars, 

Steve Darrow, 

and a guy named 

Snake

 that filled in a gig.

At one point 

they were a 

four-piece band 

with Izzy and Chris 

swapping the bass 

between each other

 in the studio. 

This is the way

 they recorded the

 9 demos in 

January 1984,

 5 of these demos 

have been 

officially released.

When opening for Stryper 

at the Music Machine

 in May 1984, 

Chris accidentally hit Axl 

with the headstock

 of his guitar, 

they got into an argument 

and 

Hollywood Rose

 disbanded.

A month later, 

Axl brought in Slash 

 to the group

 to pick up the

 guitar duties. 

When Slash joined

 he brought with him

 Steven Adler 

and a complete 

lineup change

 was made.
