Guns N’ Roses

In January 1991, when Guns N' Roses recorded their live performance of "Live and Let Die," they were at a pivotal moment in their career, riding high on the success of their 1991 albums, "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II," both of which were released on the same day in September 1991. The song "Live and Let Die," originally by Paul McCartney and Wings, was included on the "Use Your Illusion I" album and showcased the band's ability to blend hard rock with symphonic elements, amplifying their distinct sound. Notably, the band's use of orchestration in this track highlighted their artistic growth and ambition, expanding beyond the gritty sound of their earlier work. This live recording occurred while they were on their "Use Your Illusion" tour, which became known for its theatricality and the band's larger-than-life stage presence, further solidifying their status as rock legends.
