Guns N’ Roses are putting together deluxe 30th anniversary reissues of the Use Your Illusion albums for release in 2022, according to guitarist Slash.
Technically, any 30th anniversary plans for the Use Your Illusion twin-set should have taken place this year, given that the two albums were originally released on September 17, 1991, but, as with so many other things, delays were brought about by the on-going Covid-19 pandemic.
“But it is coming out,” insists guitarist Slash, in a new interview with Biff Bam Pop! “I think this summer. There’s a bunch of cool live stuff on it — a couple shows. The Ritz [in New York City] from the ’90s, like early ’90s, and a show that we did in Las Vegas back in 1989, I think it was. It’s actually the show that I met my ex-wife at…”
According to Blabbermouth, the shows being referenced are one of the warm-up shows Guns played at The Ritz in New York in May 1991 prior to embarking on the Use Your Illusion tour, and the band’s January 25, 1992 show at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Slash and his now-ex-wife Perla Ferrar first met.
Use Your Illusion II sold 770,000 copies in the US in its first week on sale to top the Billboard chart: Use Your Illusion I sold 685,000 copies to debut at number two.
“When I look back on it, it was a monumental achievement,” Slash told Classic Rock in 2016. “The first thing I think of when I think of those albums is that it was such a whirlwind of shit was happening at that particular time, but it was a huge accomplishment. I think the Use Your Illusion records, if you know the backstory, were very victorious.”

on April 13, 2026 at 1:35 amGUNS N ROSES Appetite For Destruction (UK/EU limited edition 12-track LP pressed on audiophile quality 180-gram black vinyl. A seismic debut and a true reckoning for late-'80s hard rock, Appetite For Destruction redefined the genre withits raw intensity, bluesy swagger, and unfiltered street-level perspective. While many bands of the era chased glam excess, Guns N' Roses delivered something darker and far more compelling - a snarling portrait of Hollywood sleaze, setto razor-edged riffs and guttural vocals. Driven by Slash and Izzy Stradlin's searing twin-guitar attack, and powered by Duff McKagan and Steven Adler's tight rhythm section, the album melds the grit of AC/DC and Aerosmith with a ferocious edge all its own. Axl Rose's vocals veer from venomous sneer to unhinged howl, capturing both menace and vulnerability in equal measure. Featuring the classics "Welcome To The Jungle," "Sweet Child O' Mine," and "Paradise City," this is not just the definitive Guns N' Roses album - it's one of the most important hard rock records of all time. Picture sleeve, factory sealed. Essential) #Top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time
