Guns N' Roses je americká hard rocková skupina založená v roku 1985 v Los Angeles. Ich klasickú zostavu tvorili spevák Axl Rose, gitarista Slash, gitarista Izzy Stradlin, basista Duff McKagan a bubeník Steven Adler.
Kompilácia Use Your Illusion vyšla v roku 1998 vydavateľstvom Geffen Records ako rozsiahly box set na 8 Blu-ray diskoch, zahŕňajúci celkom 97 nahrávok v štýle hard rock a arena rock. Medzi kľúčové skladby patria November Rain, Civil War, Live and Let Die či Don't Cry. Skladba November Rain bola pre toto vydanie novo remixovaná. Box obsahuje unikátne zberateľské bonusy — repliku fanklubu Conspiracy Inc vrátane členskej karty a newsletterov z rokov 1991–1992, desať obojstranných litografií s farebnými obalmi, sedem fotografií kapely, repliky textilných backstage priekazov z Illusion Tour, repliku vstupenky na koncert v Ritz Theatre 1991 a veľkoformátový plagát.
V roku 1998, keď toto vydanie vyšlo, boli členmi kapely Axl Rose (spev), Dizzy Reed (klávesy), Paul Huge, Josh Freese (bicie), Robin Finck (elektrická gitara), Tommy Stinson (basgitara) a Chris Pitman.
