She'll chew your ear off about rockers from Jim Morrison to Chris Cornell, but especially loves geeking out about Guns N' Roses. Her writing journey began as a freelancer for Alternative Nation, which eventually led her to Loudwire, where she not only writes news stories, but hosts and produces video content (see our '30 Years of Grunge' series on YouTube), creates and hosts short-form videos for our social media channels and hosts a weekly segment on our Loudwire Weekends radio show called 'The GOAT,' which airs every Sunday at 11PM.

But then 1987’s game-changing ‘Appetite for Destruction’ proved there was more than met the eye and catapulted the band to another level of stardom their peers could only dream of — quickly fostering GnR’s reputation as the most dangerous band in the world…even to themselves. And the amazing part is just how quickly things had snowballed for the group, which was born in 1985, of the union of two competing bands: Hollywood Rose, featuring singer W. Axl Rose and rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin’, and L.A. Guns, home to lead guitarist Tracii Guns, bassist Ole Beich and drummer Rob Gardner. All three of the latter would soon be replaced by Slash, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler, respectively, and so powerful was the new quintet’s musical chemistry that they’d signed to Geffen Records by March of ’86 and capped the year with the ‘Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide’ EP. Then Guns n’ Roses got to work on the album that many still consider a high-water mark of ‘80s hard rock, ‘Appetite for Destruction,’ which spent almost a year gathering steam amongst heavy metal fans before breaking through to the mainstream thanks to the number one single, ‘Sweet Child o’ Mine.’ From this point forward, GnR’s career seemed like an unstoppable juggernaut, driven by global touring and 1988’s controversial ‘GnR Lies’ EP; but internal dissension and drug abuse eventually drove Adler out of the fold (he was re-placed by The Cult drummer, Matt Sorum) ahead of the band’s much delayed, twin 1991 double albums, ‘Use Your Illusion I’ and ‘II,’ which immediately conquered the charts’ first and second positions upon release. Guns n’ Roses carried on conquering new audiences in far-flung locations over the next few years of touring, but after issuing a covers album, ‘The Spaghetti Incident?,’ in late 1993, the band went on extended hiatus while members pursued solo projects or simply recovered from all the years of grueling work. That hiatus soon descended into a prolonged band disintegration, and by the turn of the third millennium, only Axl Rose remained of GnR’s glorious original fivesome. In 2001, Rose finally recruited a new lineup of backing musicians and resumed touring under the Guns n’ Roses name, but the long promised next studio album, ‘Chinese Democracy,’ did not emerge until 2008, and then to rather mixed reviews. Nevertheless, GnR has remained a relatively active touring concern in the years since, with the occasional reunion rumors as yet unfulfilled, while their legacy is bound to remain intact so long as fans recall those incredible, if fleeting, first few years of global stardom.”,”post_count”:961,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/guns-n-roses/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/guns-n-roses/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:305,”object_id”:0},{“id”:980,”slug”:”kerry-king”,”title”:”Kerry King”,”description”:””,”post_count”:109,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/kerry-king/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/kerry-king/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:989,”object_id”:0},{“id”:500,”slug”:”slayer”,”title”:”Slayer”,”description”:”Widely regarded as the ultimate thrash metal band, Slayer did much to introduce and establish the genre throughout the 1980s, alongside fellow Los Angeles natives Metal-lica and Megadeth, and New York’s Anthrax — collectively known as the Big Four. As the most extreme and lyrically controversial member of that exclusive musical club, Slayer at first attracted a relatively modest (but devout) fan base until breaking through to a broader audience with their monumental third album, 1986’s ‘Reign in Blood.’ The band proceeded to consolidate its dominant place in the heavy metal pantheon over the second half of that decade; and, unlike most peers, refused to alter its core sound throughout the more challenging 1990s. As the third millennium dawned, Slayer read-mitted original drummer Dave Lombardo and enjoyed a renewed period of recording and touring prosperity, leading up to 2013 and the drummer’s latest departure, just months prior to the shocking death of founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman. Nevertheless, remaining founding members, Kerry King (guitar) and Tom Araya (vocals/bass) show no signs of retiring Slayer, which is now rounded out by former Exodus guitarist Gary Holt and returning drummer Paul Bostaph.”,”post_count”:673,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/slayer/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/tags/slayer/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:509,”object_id”:0}],”categories”:[{“id”:1560,”slug”:”metal”,”title”:”Metal”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:24816,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/metal/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/metal/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:1571,”object_id”:0},{“id”:6,”slug”:”news”,”title”:”News”,”description”:”Rock news.”,”parent”:0,”post_count”:45780,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/news/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/news/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:6,”object_id”:0},{“id”:1559,”slug”:”rock”,”title”:”Rock”,”description”:””,”parent”:0,”post_count”:27820,”link_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/rock/”,”feed_url”:”//loudwire.com/category/rock/feed/”,”term_taxonomy_id”:1570,”object_id”:0}],”authors”:[{“id”:4210386,”slug”:”laurynschaffner”,”name”:”Lauryn Schaffner”,”first_name”:”Lauryn”,”last_name”:”Schaffner”,”nickname”:”Lauryn Schaffner”,”description”:”Lauryn is the youngest full-time writer on the Loudwire staff, and somehow has the oldest taste in music.
