Guns N’ Roses

On May 16, 1991, Guns N’ Roses performed "You Could Be Mine" live at the Ritz Theatre in New York during a pivotal time in their career. Shortly after this performance, the band released their highly anticipated double albums, "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II," on September 17, 1991. These albums marked a significant evolution in their musical style, featuring a greater orchestral influence and a broader range of songwriting compared to their earlier work. "You Could Be Mine" was one of the standout tracks from "Use Your Illusion I," and its live rendition at the Ritz showcased the band's growing popularity and the intense energy of their performances. Interestingly, the performance marked a moment in time when the band was transitioning from their hard rock roots, solidifying their status as rock icons during the early 1990s.
