Album ini menandai perubahan gaya musik yang dimainkan GN'R. Mereka memasukkan pengaruh musik blues, klasik, dan country. Misalnya, Axl Rose bermain piano dalam beberapa lagu.
Album "The Use Your Illusion" merupakan titik balik gema band Guns N' Roses. Meskipun tidak meninggalkan kecenderungan unsur hard rock mereka seperti dalam album pertama mereka "Appetite for Destruction". Use Your Illusion I untuk pertama kalinya menunjukkan unsur-unsur musik country blues dan klasik. Misalnya, si Axl Rose bermain piano di beberapa lagu dari kedua album. Use Your Illusion I berisi 2 dari 3 lagu, "November Rain" dan "Don't Cry", video ketiga lagu tsb biasanya disebut oleh fans mereka sebagai trilogi.
Banyak lagu di album ini ditulis pada tahun-tahun awal band ini terbentuk, namun tidak dimasukkan dalam Appetite for Destruction seperti "Back Off Bitch", "Bad Obsession", "Bad Apples", "Don't Cry", "November Rain" dan "The Garden". Hal menarik yg lain di Use Your Illusion I adalah merupakan lagu-lagu lama.
