ppruks Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 23 years since it came out, I randomly found it on this site http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/News/today-in-music-0721/ and they've got the year wrong :/Still an awesome album after 23 years, but definitely looking forward to new music!

Nintari Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I listened to it a few months back for the first time in...years. What amazes me most about it is the fact that every fucking song is almost flawless. There's not a bad note on the thing. It's truly one of the greatest hard rock albums ever. Maybe even the greatest. You sure as hell could argue it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naupis Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 All of them were 25 or under, and I still marvel at just how young they were to make such an iconic album. Slash and Steven were only 20 years old when they joined the band, and Slash hadn't even turned 22 yet when Appetite came out. You do wonder if some of the problems the guys had down the line were in some way related to the fact that their career peaked you could say at an age most kids are just getting out of college.They've all had success since then, but I have thought to myself before like if you were them, where do you really go from there when on your first try you write what is considered by some to be the greatest rock album of all time?

Zanedog Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I posted a short thing about happy birthday to the album. Would have been longer, but there is a limited amount of stuff you can write on a status. Sadly only a few of my friends appreciated the post, while others tried saying artist like the Ying Yang twins are better. lol I had them post the best rap songs and I posted GNR's worst songs and they were still better.

I think this sums it up. I think none of those guys actually got more than a high school education and they stumbled on amazing, crazy success.They all handled it differently because each of them were totally different characters. No one right or wrong just different.Axl and Slash went for longevity and a legacy with amazing results, Duff survived it and kept making great music who seems the most grounded out of em all, Izzy did what he needed to do and Steven, sadly struggled but god bless him seems to have some focus now (fuck you to anyone who mocks him for mentioning Appetite you know you would if youd been on that album.)Happy Birthday to the greatest rock album ever made and god bless each and every misfit that made it.

OK lets pick apart Revolver, I dont particularly like Taxman but its on there and its part of the album, just live with it and realise that the album wasnt made specifically for you.
