Before we measured, sources said: E♭ Standard, with no pitch given (community).
The first Guns N' Roses record: four studio takes with crowd noise added to sound live, two songs from the Hollywood Rose days and covers of Rose Tattoo and Aerosmith. All four are tabbed in E♭ Standard, the tuning the band kept from then on. The same recordings open G N' R Lies, so TuneLit measured them from that album's Mobile Fidelity CD. TuneLit measured the four songs about 6 ¢ sharp (A ≈ 441.5), with Reckless Life and Nice Boys right at concert pitch.
