Appetite For Destruction

Product Information

What grunge would do later with bleak lyrics, irony and nihilism, Axl & Co. did it with street rage, plenty of low-life stories of cheap hoes and booze, a nightmare of endless nights, blurry mornings of constant hangover and dangerous companies. On July 21, 1987, Guns N’ Roses unleashed their first studio album, Appetite for Destruction, on Geffen Records. It debuted at No. 182 on the Billboard 200 chart, and had only sold 200,000 copies by December. The record label was about to move on and let the band record a follow-up when something unexpected happened: The heavy rotation of the video for their “Welcome to the Jungle” propelled the record—and the band—to superstardom.

I hope you appreciate me pointing this out, also the album was more a case of tying a reissue in with my own personal memories of the album and why it was so important to me. A more straight-ahead kind of review would have gone into the sound in more detail but I figured there were 100s of them on the web so why just repeat what everyone else is doing?
