Popular Post Rovim Posted July 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2022 Rock n' roll was perfected that day if not redefined. Lightning in a bottle. Even the weaker tunes in it are great imo. Must feel weird for any band to get it this right so early in their musical career but this is what happens when a band is a force of nature. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderfinger Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 One of the great debut albums. I can still remember those times and how Appetite soundtracked it. Those times were so different I don’t know how Appetite would make sense if I heard it now for the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 One of the best albums of all time. Admittedly the NITL era has made me a bit exhausted by it due to the heavy nostalgia focus, but I’ll never deny that this album is a masterpiece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sausagebrain Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Album that changed my life. Hearing it turned me from being a timid little weenie into being a timid little weenie who liked to swear a lot. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Old_school_gnr_fan Posted July 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2022 Who would have thought that upon it's release, it would become the highest selling debut album of all time in America? I knew it was good, and I can remember the day I bought it: October 10, 1987. Had seen the "Welcome To The Jungle" video on MTV. Based on the video, I thought they were another hair metal band that would have one hit, and probably never be heard from again. After hearing the full album, I knew this band was different. The story I always love to read about is the one where the execs at Geffen are pleased with the number of albums sold, which at the time, was in the range of 200,000. They call it a success, and make plans for the band to record another album. Mind you, Appetite has been out for around 6-7 months at this point. Someone at the label goes to upper management and insists there's a number one song on the album, and a single should be released for it. That song, of course, was "Sweet Child O' Mine", and in the United States, it did reach #1. It has been estimated that during the summer of 1988, when that song was moving up the charts, that the Appetite album was selling 500,000 copies a week! I saw GN'R open for Aerosmith in August of 1988 in Mansfield, Massachusetts--basically Aerosmith's back yard. This was my first real concert. Appetite was #1 on the album chart. "Sweet Child O' Mine" had just cracked the top ten. Before they played the song, Axl said to the crowd, "I think you've heard this one before". GN'R had exploded so quickly, I swear there were as many people wearing Guns N' Roses t-shirts as there were wearing Aerosmith t-shirts. In essentially what was Aerosmith's home turf. Honest truth is, Guns wasn't very good that night, but they did play "Patience", which hadn't been released yet. And it was the only time I got to see the original five members on stage together in a live setting. That album carried me through my last year and a half of high school. Great memories of that time, when most of my teen years before that were aimless and miserable. From that first listening on October 10, 1987 to now, Appetite For Destruction remains my favorite album ever, and it will be for the remainder of my days. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimisbatman Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Yeah, it was the soundtrack of my youth.... However, it's time to move on. Celebrate it with new music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
