BIOGRAPHY

“Hollywood Roses”  by COLBY VEIL

Established In October Of 1999 As A Way To Breathe Some Life Into The Slowly Collapsing Lungs Of What Then Was Hollywoods Fledgling Local Music Scene, Whilst Giving Idle Musicians 

The Chance To Get Back Up Onstage, Perform & Play Music That Both The Band & The Audience Could Enjoy. This Wasnt A Hard Sell Because It Was Presented In A Language That  Audiences Could Easily Understand…Music That They Already Knew And Loved Coupled Visually With An Image To Match…It Was That Simple. And If You Were Good People’d Keep Coming Back, And The Best Part Of All Is It Was Filling A Need - A Need For People To Go Out And Have Fun (Again).and it’s true to this day

The Experience Of Being Onstage, Peering Out Upon The Audience In Full Panoramic View, Eyes Fixed On The Stage…All The While They’re Being Swept Away..And For The Next 90-120 Minutes Theyve Left The World Outside. Its A Truly Magical Experience…That To Me Is The Ultimate Payoff…Superseding All Else, Because Its Real!!! 

Anything Less Is Completely Pointless…

Rock N’roll Is An Energy That Speaks Passionately To The Soul, So The Live Show Should Be An Extension Of That…Powerful, Unforgettable, & Over The Top!!! 

After Touring As Lead Vocalist  For The “20Th Anniversary Of Appetite For Destruction World Tour 2007” With Adlers Appetite 

The Worlds Only Guns N’ Roses Tribute Band Recognized & Endorsed By All Members Of Guns N’roses (Past N’present) - With A Career Now Spanning Thirteen Years, The Bastard Son Of The Sunset Strip Continue Bringing The Jungle To Audiences The World Over… And Nearly After Two Decades Performing For Hundreds Of Thousands Of Audiences The World Over, Its Definitely Safe To Say That Any Intention Of Settling Has Long Since Past..So Its No Wonder “Hollywood Roses” Were The First To Coin The Phrase “The Ultimate Guns N’ Roses Experience…A Mantra That Still Rings True Today.

Political Correctness Is Worse Than Godliness And Nothing Is More Disgusting Than When Music’s Clearly & Blatantly Contrived…From 70’S Glitter-Glam, Attitude Laden Punk Rock,  Anthemic Heavy Metal, Down To Just Good Ol’ American Rock N’roll…The Proverbial Name-Tag That Says “Hello My Name Is..” Should Speak For Itself…Thats The Sanctity Of Of Great Music…How It Apeals To Everyone In Their Own Personal Way…

So Moral To The Story Kids Is Theres A World Of Music That Will Give You What You Need..Just Like The First Time You Discover The Ramones, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Jimi Hendrix, Etc…. There In Lies The True Secret To What Makes Music So Magical & Special…The Music Is Yours , It Lives Inside Of You & Noone - No Matter How They Try Can Ever Take That Away Because It Defines Us & Its What Speaks To Our Hearts In A Language That Is Uniquely Yours.  

The Other Side Of What Is Considered Hip And Now - The Ones That The Magazines & Award Shows Tell What Music  “You Should Or Shouldn’t Like” Is Filthy And There Just Isnt Room For It Ever In My Opinion & Its 

Virtually No Different Than A Drug Pusher Slinging Dope To Kids On Their Way Home From School…Dishonor Lies In Failed Musicians Whove Sold-Out To Become Biased Based Album Reviewers & Unintellectual Conformists That Are So Far Off The Atlas In World Of Music…Rock N’roll Isnt Some Institution - Its Salvation - At Least It Has Always Has Been For There For Me..And It Will Never Let You Down..

While many tribute acts exist, Hollywood Roses has established a reputation as the premier tribute to Guns N' Roses, meticulously capturing the raw power, signature look, and dangerous energy of a classic GNR arena show. This isn't just a cover set; it is a high-octane, stadium-grade recreation of rock’s most volatile and iconic era. Frontman Colby Veil has been widely praised for nailing Axl Rose’s soaring, gritty vocal style and unpredictable stage swagger to perfection, earning a national reputation that leaves audiences wondering if they are watching the real thing.
