Use Your Illusion 2
"We all gathered at my house, and wrote more than half of both Use Your Illusion albums on acoustics, literally in two nights." (Slash)

With enough music for two albums, Guns N' Roses released Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II the same day. Use Your Illusion albums debuted at number 2 and 1 respectively on the Billboard charts, setting a record as they became the first and only band to date to achieve this feat.
