SELECTIONS FROM "APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION"
2023 CALENDAR

Bandmixers-Discography Series / Selections From -

GUNS N' ROSES / APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION (1987)

Picture
Guns N' Roses' debut, Appetite for Destruction was a turning point for hard rock in the late '80s -- it was a dirty, dangerous, and mean record in a time when heavy metal meant nothing but a good time. The music is as nasty as the lyrics, wallowing in a bluesy, metallic hard rock borrowed from Aerosmith, AC/DC, and countless hard rock bands of the early '80s. It's a primal, sleazy sound that adds grit to already grim tales. And as good as Rose's lyrics and screeching vocals are, they wouldn't be nearly as effective without the twin-guitar interplay of Slash and Izzy Stradlin, who spit out riffs and solos better than any band since the Rolling Stones, and that's what makes Appetite for Destruction the best metal record of the late '80s. And even better, what makes Appetite for Destruction so good is the deep cuts... They ARE as good as the hits. And the hits are damn good.
