There are many descriptions that depicted the greatness of the band Guns N’ Roses, for instance, ‘the world’s most dangerous band’, and ‘the band that has the world at its feet’, then. It was formed in 1985 and its original members were Axl Rose, (lead vocalist), Slash (lead guitarist), Izzy Stradlin (rhythm guitarist), Duff McKagan (bassist), and Steven Adler (drummer).

Starting out as the Office of the Attorney General in 1789, the one person position was responsible for prosecuting and conducting all suits brought to the Supreme Court and giving advice and opinions on all questions of the law (“About DOJ”, n.d.). When the work became too much for one person, Congress passed an act to establish the Department of Justice in 1870. Increasing litigation prompted the hiring of more private attorneys to handle all criminal prosecutions and civil suits with the Attorney General as the head of the agency (“About DOJ”, n.d.).
