Profile:
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 (3) 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.
