Rob Gardner is a heavy metal drummer who played in the original versions of heavy metal bands Guns N' Roses and L.A. Guns.
L.A. Guns (1983-1984)
In 1983 the first lineup up L.A. Guns was formed with Gardner on drums, guitarist Tracii Guns, singer Axl Rose, and bassist Ole Beich. Rose then left to form the band Hollywood Rose with childhood friend Izzy Stradlin and guitarist Chris Weber. Michael Jagosz was brought in as his replacement and the group recorded the EP Collector's Edition No. 1 which would be the only release from the band with its current lineup and would be re–released as a bonus disc with compilation album Hollywood Raw.[1][2]
Guns N' Roses (1985)
In 1985 Guns and Rose decided to merge both L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose together to form a new band. Rose named the band Guns N' Roses combining the two names of the bands with the lineup featuring Garner on drums, Axl Rose on vocals, Tracii Guns on lead guitar, Izzy Stradlin on rhythm guitar, and Ole Beich on bass.[3] A short time later, bassist Ole Beich was fired, and replaced by Duff McKagan, then Guns was replaced by Slash and Gardner quit and was replaced by Steven Adler.[4]
