Moses was an early Biblical Hebrew religious leader, lawgiver, prophet,
military leader and historian. Moses is traditionally considered the transcriber
of the Torah, or the first five books of the Bible, and is also an important
prophet in Islam and the Bahá'í Faith.
According to the Bible, Moses was born to a Hebrew mother who hid him when a
Pharaoh ordered all newborn Hebrew boys to be killed, and ended up being adopted
into the Egyptian royal family. After killing an Egyptian slave master, he fled and
became a shepherd, and was later commanded by God to deliver the Hebrews from
slavery. After the Ten Plagues were unleashed upon Egypt, he led the Hebrew slaves
out of Egypt, through the Red Sea, and in the desert for 40 years. Despite living to
120, he did not enter the Land of Israel, or the promised land, because he hit the rock
twice instead of speaking to the rock, which according the bible was supposed to
provide them with water. According to scripture, God never instructed Moses to smite
the rock. In one verse Moses made it seem as though it was his ability to bring forth
the water out of the rock and not the miraculous working power of God. And another,
Moses' disobedience led to his denial into the promised land. (see Numbers 20:7-8, 9-
10, and 11–12).

The band's musical style, onstage presence and bad boy rock image helped usher in
a new era in the dominant hard rock scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s. While
glam metal was the leading genre in record sales, video charts and radio airplay,
Guns N' Roses offered a grittier, more traditional take on rock music, which helped
to popularize the sub-genre known as sleaze rock and won many fans who admired
their apparent authenticity. The band enjoyed worldwide success from 1987 to
1993, but clashing personalities of different band members brought about the end of
the original line-up. Today, frontman Axl Rose is the only original member in the
band's current line-up; he has now served as lead singer for 22 years.
