30 years ago today (9/17/91), Guns N’ Roses released simultaneously Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, making it one of the biggest record release days in history. Over 4 million copies were released making it the largest ship-out in pop history in the US. Each of the Use Your Illusion albums has been certified 7× Platinum by the RIAA and had a couple years’ worth of continual new singles being released- making GNR in the spotlight for a good portion of the early ’90s. Check out the video for the first single from the albums’ “You Could Be Mine”…
