Appetite for Destruction

I LOVE My Michelle, and of course Paradise City is a classic. I just think this album is a masterpiece and there are songs on it that hit me like no other songs do. I love me some grinding passionate guitar! 😁

Yes I would be proud of my son for that too! My boys love this album as well.

Like you say, there's not a weak track on the album, and it's not just that they're not weak, they're almost all exceptional. Like some of them evoke an inner reaction that no other songs ever have for me. Welcome to the Jungle of course is fantastic and starts the whole album out with a bang.

Yes! A great way to kick off the album and it pulls you in right away. And the bassline just gets you- kind of like it's descending into madness.

NOT a single filler song on the thing!
It was a flawless album.

I know in terms of rock/pop history we should genuflect towards The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones…I totally get that.

But GnR arrived with a whole new attitude, they were the new brats on the block and they rocked the world. It’s just a shame that one certain band member was a gigantic, selfish pain in the ass.

Agreed. That's what is so special about it. Every single song is so, so good.

Agreed. They made a smart choice with the name of their band. Even it pulls you in.

Yep. That's probably my second favorite after Mr. Brownstone. It's something special. I love how it switches from minor key to major key at the end. That doesn't sound like a big deal but in this song it's huge.

Even though I've never seen GnR in concert, I've seen Slash with his new band. They opened for Aerosmith and they played Sweet Child O' mine. It was raining lightly while they were playing it and it was a really special experience.

High five to my fellow Mr. Brownstone fan! 🙏

I don't know that song you just mentioned but I'll give it a listen soon and report back.
