Shattered Illusions Part 1: The Lost Guns N Roses Album

Did Guns N Roses secretly record a follow-up to The Spaghetti Incident? Could it have been the elusive Use Your Illusion III—better known to fans as Shattered Illusions? In this first part of our two-part Rockers to Doctors deep dive, Nova Starwick and Dorian Prescott trace the chaos of 1993–1995: lawsuits, lineup changes, Snakepit demos, Zakk Wylde sessions, and the endless tension between Axl Rose and Slash.
