Which artist co-sings 'The Garden' on Use Your Illusion I?

Alice Cooper co-sings “The Garden” on Guns N’ Roses’ Use Your Illusion I. He performs co-lead vocals on the track, giving the song a distinctive guest appearance alongside Axl Rose.

“The Garden” comes from the band’s early songwriting period, even though it was recorded for the ambitious 1991 Use Your Illusion project. The album expanded Guns N’ Roses’ sound beyond the direct hard rock of Appetite for Destruction, incorporating orchestration, piano, balladry, and guest musicians.

A common mix-up is Shannon Hoon, Blind Melon’s singer. Hoon also contributed vocals to Use Your Illusion I, including backing vocals on “The Garden,” but he is not the co-lead singer credited on the song. Alice Cooper’s participation is specifically listed as co-lead vocals.

The album was released on September 17, 1991, simultaneously with Use Your Illusion II. “The Garden” is one of several tracks that illustrates the band’s interest in multiple vocal textures and collaborators during this period.
