Appetite for Destruction vs. Nevermind the Bollocks

[Vincent Vega]

Well...?

[izzygirl]

Appetite by a mile. And if we want punk, Duff is the best punker ever.

[Patience 4 Axl]

AFD

Never got into the Sex Pistols at all.

[Johnny Drama]

Appetite. I love the Pistols but Bodies is the only tune on that album that I reckon is a real stand out tune.

[wasted]

Comparing AFD to Back in Black or Those those about to Rock would closer. Maybe even Sticky Fingers.

[machinegunner]

Appetite For Destruction >20x that album.

[Zint]

Bollocks for me..had a much greater (personal) impact.

AFD has a track or two that, to this day, I still skip.

[Snake-Pit]

Both albums contained songs with nitty gritty content from God Save the Queen, Anarchy in the UK to Welcome to the Jungle and Mr. Brownstone.

I'm going to say AFD for the win though.

[JKKDARK]

Never Mind the Bloocks changed the music scene forever, influencing tons and tons of acts.

Appetite for Destruction was a good mainstream Rock record of the era.

[Snake-Pit]

AFD saved us from the 80s...

TBH, it did, it really did, culturally; it did.

lmfao, I don't even like punk but that might be the worst post I've ever seen.

[Johnny Drama]

Its So Easy clearly rips off Liar

This ^

They're both great records, and very interesting comparison. But Bollocks rang a little bit more true for me. Plus

The Pistols were a huge influence on GNR.

And some say I'm ignorant.

[TombRaider]

AFD, hands down.

[Jabberwocky]

Nevermind The Bollocks by a mile. It was a forefront and is still influencial. Appetite was still kinda aping 80's metal.

[Randy Lahey]

Nevermind the Bollocks is an album that people talk about and Appetite For Destruction is an album that people listen to.

In fairness Duff played with Thunders when he was a sperm and was in a band called the Fartz; he also, in later life, made a damn fine record with Jones. It is however a pity Duff joined the band Guns N' Roses as his punk credentials seemed to decrease at the same rate as the peroxide in his barnet increased. The promo for November Rain - so I hear - is a great one at McKagan family gatherings - puts the father of the house in an excellent mood.

Spot on.
