Happy 25th Anniversary to the Guns n' Roses albums Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II which were released on this day in America in 1991 while being released a day earlier in the UK. The album was a rare case of a band releasing two studio albums the same day and I believe was the first where they went to the top 2 positions (Ironically I went to #2 while II went to #1). The albums were the first to feature drummer Matt Sorum (Steven Adler did drum on Civil War before being fired after reportedly needing 70 times to do the album due to his drug addictions), long time keyboardist DIzzy Reed (who has been the only one of the band never to have left and remained through it all), and the last to feature Izzy due to him leaving in November 1991. Guest artists included Alice Cooper and Blind Melon's Shannon Hoon. The double album, of course, proved to be the last album of original material until 2008's Chinese Democracy.
