Members of GUNS N' ROSES, MÖTLEY CRÜE, POISON, L.A. GUNS and LIMP BIZKIT have reacted on Twitter to the passing of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who revolutionized music industry by introducing the iPod and iTunes.

Jobs died earlier today (Wednesday, October 5) at the age of 56 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
