The debut album of the new group, Appetite for Destruction (1987), almost immediately went platinum, bringing the outrageous group worldwide fame and an army of fans. Guns N’ Roses’ style combines different genres and cultures: hard rock, heavy metal and blues.

On June 13, Jesse Cook will perform in Dubai, at the Zabeel Theatre - Jumeirah Zabeel Saray. The Canadian guitarist is a brilliant performer of flamenco and rumba. He has toured with many legends of music, including Ray Charles. At a young age, he studied at the Elie Kassner Guitar Academy in Canada. In an effort to expand his experience, he returned to France and Spain, seeking out flamenco masters from Andalusia, Cordoba, Granada and Madrid, who later reflected in his virtuoso work as a guitarist. Cook's composition "Mario Takes a Walk" was used by our figure skater Irina Slutskaya in her performance at the 2006 Winter Olympics, where the girl deservedly finished with "bronze".
