Although the band did not abandon the aggressive hard-rock sound they had become known for with 'Appetite For Destruction' (1987), 'Use Your Illusion II' demonstrated a new-found musical maturity, incorporating elements of blues, classical music, heavy metal, punk rock, and classic rock and roll.
In addition, 'Use Your Illusion II' is more political than most of their previous work. Features the singles 'You Could Be Mine', 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door', 'Yesterdays', 'Civil War' and 'Estranged'.
