If we're going there, we should totally talk about Hanoi Rocks, who were a major influence for both Slash and Axl and thus GnR. Some call the lead singer Mike Monroe "the godfather of Hair Metal" (which is somewhat ironic considering that band actually was way more punk than the bands that copied them).
Slash even took his "signature" look pretty directly from Andy McCoy, the guitarist from Hanoi Rocks.
