I was never really a fan
of the band Guns N’ Roses (though I do enjoy that acoustic version of “Used To
Love Her”), but I’ve always wondered about the name. Was it intended to mean
Guns No Roses? The apostrophe is only after the N, so it can’t mean “And,”
unless it was simply a mistake that no one in the band ever caught. If it was
meant to be Guns And Roses, it would have to read “Guns ‘N’ Roses.” It seems
that was the intention, as the name came from the combination of two earlier
bands – L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose. So was it an error? I’d love to get an
official response, so if you are a member of that band or have worked for those
guys, please leave a comment with an answer. Thank you.
