‘Guns N’ Roses - The Appetite Years’ from Rufus Publications

Rufus Publications is pleased to announce the publication of ‘Guns N’ Roses - The Appetite Years’, the pre-sale starts 7 May 2025, and the book will ship in October 2025.

Without a doubt Guns N’ Roses are one of the biggest bands in rock, combining punk, blues and heavy metal in a unique West Coast sound that conquered the world between 1987 and 1988. This unofficial book explores the band's legendary breakout years, playing small clubs to huge stadiums including a devastating performance at the UK’s Monsters of Rock festival.

‘Guns N’ Roses - The Appetite Years’ explores these two years through the camera work of some of rock's greatest photographers, documenting their growth from a club band to an all-conquering stadium band. Featuring stunning live photography and candid off stage photography, much of which has never been published before ‘Guns N’ Roses - The Appetite Years’ is an amazing, coffee table book for fans of the band.
