Use Your Illusion I is the third studio album by American hard rock band Guns N' Roses, released by Geffen Records on September 17, 1991, the same day as its counterpart Use Your Illusion II. It was the band's first album with keyboardist Dizzy Reed, and drummer Matt Sorum, who replaced Steven Adler following Adler's departure in 1990, shortly after playing on "Civil War", which appears on Use Your Illusion II. The supporting tour for the albums, the Use Your Illusion Tour, began in May 1991, four months before the release of the albums due to delays in getting the albums out.
