Guns N' Roses shot in the L.A. night outside a gas station, just a couple of blocks away from the Sunset Strip. The first photo was used by Geffen as a publicity still after signing them. It is unknown if all shots are at the gas station, but they seem to be from the same session.

"I think I met Robert John at the Troubadour. Izzy wanted him to shoot pictures of us in Rose, a band we had before Guns N' Roses. Robert was working
with WASP at the time and Izzy was going out with the girl that WASP tied to the rack as part of their stage show. She eventually became Robert's girlfriend.
Robert was just staning out, and when WASP got famous they didn't want to have anything to do with him. They dumped everybody they worked with. Izzy brought Robert around when we were putting Guns N' Roses together and we just hit it off right away. I took Robert's work real seriously because I saw his dedication towards it. Somehow, he and I hit it off and we've been friends ever since."
