Appetite For Destruction [VINYL]

Way back in 1987 I was an impressionable 15 year old and I heard the opening bars of Welcome to the Jungle and became irrevocably lost. Here in 2024, I'm now 52 and I have still yet to hear anything that surpasses this record. Unless you've been a very determined hermit, you've heard at least one track of this album (I'll put good money on it being either Welcome to the Jungle or Sweet Child O'mine). No other record sums up the wild excesses of the Sunset Strip in the late eighties than this (Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood and Skid Row's Skid Row come close). Over the years, I've had this on cassette, CD and of course streaming but never on vinyl - until now. This is an essential record to have in your collection and it's up there with Fleetwood Mac's Rumours or the Beach Boy's Pet Sounds for me.

Good album but record had a few marks on it. Played OK so happy

Great GNR and so good to have on vinyl.

What can I say class band.

As described

Loved this album for years, wanted to hear it on vinyl. The copy I bought was second hand at a good price. Was a bit dirty due to travel, but plays fine.

This is possibly the best album that I've ever listened to, its a hard rocking, guns blazing, fast and furious thrill ride the album doesn't have a single bad track on it whilst containing plenty of amazing ones, listening to this makes me wish that I had been there in the late 80s, able to experience Guns n Roses at their absolute domination. If you asked me to pick my favourite song from the album you'd probably get a different answer each time since there are so many top notch efforts and they are all vying for the top spot but my favourites include sweet child o mine, paradise city, nightrain and mr brownstone. If you're at all a fan or rock and/or roll then you probably already own this, if you're not then I strongly recommend that you get your hands on it as soon as possible. The only negative thing I can say about this album is that its good enough to leave you thinking "where do I go now?" after you've finished, in fact the next album you listen to might indeed sound a little lacklustre when measured up against this beast.

This album is 25 years old yet still sounds as fresh and as vital to me now, than it did in the mid-90's when I first heard it. You've probably all heard "Sweet Child O Mine", "Paradise City" and "Welcome to the Jungle" so know how good GNR were. The rest of the album is more of the same, with not one track being deemed filler. "Nightrain" is my personal standout track, but you're hard pushed to choose.If you like metal and rock music and you havn't heard Appetite for Destruction then you are doing yourself a massive diservice.I don't see this album getting old for at least another 25 years. Never bettered, and no other bands come close (although Crashdiet's - Rest In Sleaze was almost there).

I needed this on cassette and here is is on Amazon for $8. What a score! We need more major labels to reissue cassettes. Many cassets are reaching their lifespan and I want to replace my entire collection.

Good
