"HOLLYWOOD ROSES"
BIO
Hollywood Roses, emerged straight out of the gutter of the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, CA, when a group of rock n roll misfits decided that with nothing but dreams and talent, they would capture the intense, raw energy of a by-gone era in Rock N’ Roll, and perfect the power and frenzy of a Guns and Roses show. Now, the band is known worldwide as “The Ultimate Guns n Roses Experience”.
From the non-stop late night parties, chaos filled streets full of tattooed rock fans in band shirts, denim and leather, hot girls in spandex, teased hair and endless oceans of booze and parties, there’s no question why in 1988 Guns n Roses we’re dubbed “The Most Dangerous Band in The World!" They were a reflection of the reckless world of Hollywood Rock, the gasoline for the high octane music that left everyone wanting more and more.
Hollywood Roses lead singer Colby Veil’s incredible likeness to Axl Rose both in appearance as well as vocal prowess helped pave the way for Hollywood Roses to rise up to become “Hollywood’s Best Tribute Band” year after year. The band also includes “ROBO” on guitar as “Slash”, Niki Rott on bass as “Duff”, “Capone” on guitar as “Izzy” and Justin Sandler on drums as “Steven Adler”.
Hollywood Roses have rocked numerous festivals including the inaugural year of “Rocklahoma” (2007), which had record breaking attendance and coverage in every major Rock Magazine Worldwide. Hollywood Roses have toured throughout the US, most notably playing high profile venues in Hollywood, Las Vegas, Arizona, Detroit and also were featured at many “Summer Rock Festivals”, Casinos, and, Special Events
The Record "Dopesnake" Released on Cleopatra/Deadline Records featured the members of Colby's original band DOPESNAKE, the original music has been selected for Movie Trialers, Licensed for TV, and every song has some of the best guests who wanted to be a part of the record (Tracii Guns, Phil Lewis, Mick Taylor, Fred Coury, Gilby Clarke, Teddy Zig Zag, Muddy, Pat Travers etc. "Hell Yeah" the first single is most recently the trailer song for the movie "Easy Rider - The Ride Back".
In 2007, Colby Veil was hand-picked by Guns N Roses original drummer Steven Adler to lead Adler’s Appetite for the 20th Anniversary of Appetite for Destruction. The tour kicked off at Hollywood's world famous Key Club. On stage, Colby was joined by none other than Izzy, Duff and of course Steven Adler, performing Guns N Roses hits to amazed fans. Celebrities were in attendance including guitar God Slash. This show launched the beginning of a world tour for “Adler’s Appetite," which hit venues in South America, Mexico, and the U.S.
Live, Hollywood Roses delivers the most authentic Guns N Roses experience and fans craving raw rock and roll will be mesmerized by Hollywood Roses' exciting, spot-on performance.
