5.0 out of 5 starsBest thing to come out of the eighties......
By A Customer on 28 July 2004
Format: Audio CD
If rock music did indeed acheive perfection in the late seventies then the eighties were defined by rock music's own self destruction, a time when technology and urges to cross-dress became more important than the purity and power of the music that defined the seventies. Bands such as motley crue, poison, and other hairspray soaked bands from the L.A. scene ruled the heavy rock scene. So Guns n' Roses entered the scene in 1987 causing a storm and proving to be one of the fastest selling rock albums of all time. However at first glance they seem just like any band of the time, albeit slightly more rough and sleazy. The music though is completely uncharacteristic, a mix of off-the-rails heavy blues and anthemic power rock, a combination of the rolling stones, led zepelin and the sex pistols. Quite simply every song on the album is brilliant so to name the best would be doing the others a misjustice. They stand as frank and sometimes brutal acounts of their rock and roll lifestyles, sometimes ironic, occaisionaly soft and reminisant. Held together by powerful drumming of steven adler, laid back tones of Stradlin, aggresive bass from Mckeggan and topped off by the best lead guitar in a decade from Slash and the now iconic wailing from Rose. This is the sound of a band who would go on to become the biggest band in the world before their untimely self destructive demise in 96.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe incredible sound of real rock 'n' roll music
By Brit Boy TOP 500 REVIEWER on 4 May 2015
Format: Audio CD
I really don't know what I can say that the 'Appetite for Destruction' album that hasn't been said a million times before. It was Guns N' Roses debut album, released in 1987, and these guys exploded onto the music scene with a record that sounded so real, not polished, just pure, loud, heavy, real rock and roll. Although it has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, and has been praised to death by the critics over the years, 'Appetite for Destruction' is still anything but overrated.

It's not my personal favourite from the band, that one will always be Use Your Illusion II, but I would say that 'Appetite For Destruction' is the definitive Guns N' Roses album. Hard-rock anthems like 'Sweet Child of Mine', 'Paradise City' and 'Welcome to the Jungle' are on here, as well as a wealth of other excellent songs like the very cool 'It's So Easy' and the ultimate booze-soaked rock n' roll, 'in-your-face' 'Nightrain'. 'My Michelle' has always been a favourite of mine, it starts off with a wonderful, dark, sinister intro, and the same sound is continued throughout. 'Think About You' is a love song in true Guns N' Roses fashion, and the final track, 'Rocket Queen', just over six minutes of ear candy, constantly changing between up-tempo and slowing down, sleazy then sweet, is the perfect way to finish off a perfect album.

Axl Rose sings brilliantly throughout, demonstrating an incredible range, and sounding very cool and 'bad-ass'. Slash's solos are magnificent, and Izzy Stradlin is on rhythm 'all' the time. 'Appetite For Destruction' is a truly floorless album, no fillers, and probably the defining rock album of the 1980s. Don't hesitate, just buy it!

5.0 out of 5 starsQuick Reviews!
By carlosnightman VINE VOICE on 14 April 2010
Format: Audio CD
Three decades later and Appetite For Destruction still sounds as fresh, daring, vibrant, and exciting as it did when it was first unleashed upon the world. Say what you like about what Guns and Axl have become but there remains something eternal about their first album. With each new generation of kids, it is this album which they are inevitably drawn to when they want their rebellious kick or taste of anger for the day, this is the album which young guitarists dream of, and the album which aspiring rock stars hope to emulate. Wiping away the poodle rock of the decade, grabbing MTV and the charts by the throat and shaking them within an inch of their lives, it takes a snarling look at 80s America- the excess, the paranoia, the sleeze, and how The American Dream had become something dirty but still attainable for ambitious young kids who knew how to get it. It's rare that an album comes along where every song is a classic- this almost achieves that and those songs which narrowly miss out are still screaming tunes of excellence which would stand out on any number of other bands' albums. Anrgy, raw, confident, with one foot in the gutter and the other in the heavens, Appetite For Destruction is a must for everyone.

`Welcome To The Jungle' opens the album with as instantly recognizable an introduction as your every likely to find. From the first 30 seconds we know most of what we will need to- Axl's screech, the teaming of Izzy's riffs and Slash's uncontrollable talent before the main guitars and vocals crash in. Axl sings a tale of a small town guy landing in LA and having to swim through the grime to prevent drowning in the mud. Everything is sleazy, sexy, and angry, though performed as if they are Lords of it all.Read more ›
