Appetite was lightning in a bottle, the lifestyle of down and out LA combined with punk, hard rock, and a great sense of melody, played by passionate musicians.
Well said y’all. I was pretty young back then, but the impact they actually had on music back then is hard to imagine unless you were there and actually witnessed it to some degree. I don’t see a band having that kind of impact ever again. When you hear “they were the biggest band in the world”, it was no joke. All of a sudden, all the Hollywood bands start copying their look, MTV started playing their videos like countless times each day, Hollywood movies were using their music for their soundtracks, despite controversy in the media they started playing with other incredibly huge artists, the list goes on. And you can argue they sold out with the UYI albums, but I got the feeling they never lost that sense of exactly who they were…well, Axl may have changed a bit, but the rest were very much what you see is what you get kind of people, and none of them certainly ever apologized for it. They did things their way and that is why I love them!
Lmao, absolutely not. Way too many bad tracks to even be in the top 100.... And not even the best gnr album, three good songs then a bunch of hateful trash like my Michelle.
I had this album not one month after its release. Took another year or more to take off. It kinda was a defining moment in the 1980's with this album, and plenty of good times.
Izzy was certainly the songwriter!! After him the songs don’t have the typical blues influence he brought to the band. Not even Slash’s songs have it 🎉
I’m not talking about the actual performances, but, UYI just doesn’t SOUND right by comparison. I’ve always felt the main culprit is Slash and Stradlin both reportedly abandoning their Gibsons for the recordings. And, Bill Price at the mixing console was definitely hit-and-miss, too.
Motley Crue never put out an album that came even remotely close to replicating the success of Appetite. Still to this day, the best-selling debut album in the US and best GNR album
Absolute classic! People tend to forget these guys only put out 4 albums , spaghetti not included. What a band , what a run! Over 50 million copies of Appetite sold and the songs never get old.
@@daviddoyle8956 you don’t blame you give thanks that we got what we did from them. All bands have egos. Is Pink Floyd diminished in some way because of Waters and Gilmour?
Got to see them in Sep '87 in a 5,000 seat outdoor amphitheater in San Antonio. My friends and my 16 y.o. self were there to see The Cult headline as we were playing the shit out of the Electric album that summer. My first impression was that these guys were hungry and it was raw and I'm glad I got to see them live before MTV and radio over saturation the next few years. Good times.
Fantastic your comment ;) Can you see? GNR There is this time ... coooll man ... I"m from RJ Brasil ... I heard Appetite firt time 16 year old too ... (Sorry my english is a shit) My Dream go to LA see this places. :D Till today ... go to SIR Studios, Rumbo Studios etc ... Santa Mônica, Hollywood, Sunset Strip mannn😅
For me GNR lies is a great album combining Live Like a suicide. I didn't mind songs on the Illusions but it wasn't the same. Axl had a vision for guns vs where the band should have gone.
Forget November Rain and Don’t Cry and all that crap. Your missing out on the Illusion albums. Coma, Bad Apples, Locomotive, The Garden, The Garden of Eden,and several more are bangers.
I remember listening to the album for quite a while before it became huge. Then it blew up, and a bunch of us kids were like...........ya, this is almost old now, been playing the shit out of this for almost a year lol
Appetite is objectively the best Rock album ever recorded. Even if GnR is not your favorite band, it's still better. No other piece has so completely represented what Rock n Roll is all about.
Almost, sits behind oasis definitely maybe, these two albums are pure rock n roll, wether you like oasis or guns, these are two of best rock n roll debuts
When you fell you're not worthy remember that one of the greatest rock albums ever needed lobbying to be recognized and only became popular more than a year after it's release.
One of my favorite albums of all time and should I say the "Best Rock Album" of the late 80's. On the side note, It's surprising that the guitar used by Slash on the record is a "Fake" Gibson or a "copy" of the Original 1959 Gibson Les Paul. Slash's guitar is made by the legendary luthier Kris Derrig and not from the Gibson company.🔥the album that sold 100 million plus copies is played on a fake LesPaul that has a Gibson logo.🤭😂 That's inspiring, I will cherish and setup my Beautiful 1959 Chibson Les Paul. It's so beautiful at only $250.😆
That's because the guitar has very little to do with the tone. Didn't Jimmy Page also use Fender or something, and everyone said how great Gibsons sound?
@@metalzonemt-2 Haha, exactly!😅 It's just a shot on the "gear elitist snob" who always want the most expensive gear possible to sound good. I know people who are always on the lookout for the "holy grail" instrument and buying $10,000+ guitars (Gibson and Fender) thinking it would make their playing better or their sound cooler. But It's not actually the gear - it's the player and the songwriting that really matters. I'm really inspired by the Slash Fake Gibson LesPaul story, the Jimmy Page copy or the Brian May homemade guitar. Cheers!👌💯
According to an Art of Drumming video recreating the drum sound of Appetite, the snare was. 1920s Ludwig 5x14 “heavy weight brass” snare. Awesome sound whatever it was. Plus a lot of studio mixing magic.
J'ai eu la chance de rencontrer Duff en 2011 et Slash en 2012 quand ils oeuvraient en solo'. Des mecs géniaux, humbles et avec lesquels j'ai pu parler de choses personnelles...J'ai eu de gros problèmes avec l'alcool et j'en ai parlé avec Slash pendant quelques minutes à Bruxelles. C'était juste incroyable😊 Deux moments gravés à jamais dans ma vie!
Love the detail in this one with regards to the recording..doesnt surprise me that Adler couldnt play to a click given that he had that swing feel and it can make you feel like you are late. I also have a hell of a time playing to click depending on the type of drumming i am doing.
Saw them in Philly in August of 88 opening for Aerosmith when Appetite hit #1 98 degrees with as high humidity the large crowd of women dressed in next to nothing Great double bill
The original mix of Mr Brownstone is on the back of the It's So Easy single, without all the reverb that is caked all over Appetite. It sounds *much* better to my ears.
i was 13 in 1988,when i heard sweet child on the radio i remember getting a feeling i had never gotten before,from then on until only maybe 3 or 4 years ago i was obsessed with GnR,i last had saw "them"in 2002,when i heard they were reuniting i almost cried,i saw them in 2016,then axl had to open his big mouth about politics and ill never give him another dime,true story
To expand on that Jackson Slash used first. Mike Clink said in an interview that slash came in to record with the Jackson but there were old strings on it. So Slash just cut off all the strings at once on the guitar and that messed it up so it wouldn’t stay in tune anymore.
If it had strings on springs, it was never that stable to begin with. No matter what the advertising says. Depending on the audience or expectation, a trem guitar will have you in the ballpark if not in the infield on a good one. But it won't be dead nuts for long. Having to tune and retune every take, it would become a stress and easier to just go for hardtail if your style doesn't require the trem stuff. Cutting the strings wasn't the main reason that guitar wasn't going to work.
@@David-wf4wc A lot of session guitarists like Tim Peirce actually used guitars with Floyd Rose tremolos on them because they stayed in tune perfectly, but the tone wasn't as good. Slash probably just didn't know how to set it up properly.
Personally i think it needs a new "2024" mix of the multitrack, like what Pearl Jam did with VS Redux, and all of that piles of reverb on the drums removed from Appetite. Its damn well swimming in reverb, sounds like the drums are in the next room
There were many diffetent standard Marshall Cabs from That era with many diffrenent celestions . G12T75 G1265 G1280 G12H100 G12 Marshall vinrage AKA the original V30 and the G1280 and G12H100 came with both 55Hz cones and 75Hz cones . We will never know for sure .
Most sold debut ever in 1995 was Ace Of Base “Happy nation” - stated by Guinness Book of World records in 1995. So at the time, it couldn’t have been Appetite. But maybe it has sold more since 1995.
Yes but that must be when the albums they have sold since 1995 are counted in. Appetite has shurely remained a way more popular album in the years that followed. But still in 1995 Guiness book of World Records recognized Happy Nation as the best selling debut album of all time - at least at that time. Would be strange if Guiness made such a mistake back in 1995✌🏼🤓
@@mixingmasteringonline I wouldn’t say it’s “relevant”😄 None of this really is😄 It’s just another fun fact about the story. That it seems it has become the best selling debut album over time. That is actually kind of a quality. That it keeps selling years and years after it was released unlike other albums that might have sold better in the 90s✌🏼
The fact that guns and roses who could not go six months with a stable lineup put out one of the. Greatest albums of all time is a credit to the producers of the album and label
I tried paying attention to the details of the recording process and the equipment used. I enjoyed it, but I keep bouncing back to the part about Slash shooting up much of the album's advance. I think, predating 2024, I was ignorant of Slash being a heroin addict.
It's all in his autobiography, too. Quite a few incidents graphically detailed, with him jonesing because somebody had stolen his secret stash, and the band almost having to cancel a milestone-level important gig, and somebody dying on him, and him almost dying on somebody else, and what not. Some people have said that he's not entirely honest in the book, passing the blame on the OD death of a friend to somebody else, but it's worth a read. Duff's autobio, too. Very informative stuff.
Are you sure Steven used a black beauty? I’m obsessed with his appetite snare tone, and for the longest time I thought he used the 1920s nickel over brass snare that sold on the auction.
The sheer sense of entitlement youd have to have to steal an amp from the rental company, then get mad at your roadie when the victim finds out about your crime.
The talent was there but in the beginning something was missing. The sells didn’t took off until the boss of Geffen Records understood that the best decision was to make a video so they can sell the image of the band to all the young people at the time . Sex drugs and Rock N Roll .. was the formula 🎶😎 and worked perfectly Guns N Fuckin’ Roses 🔥🔥🎶🎶Ladies and Gentlemen

I can’t believe that they plan to work on the next album without Steven and Izzy
@@martincloutier666 why would they include 2 guys who haven’t been around since the “reunion”?
probably my favorite album ever
The key behind the Appetite sound was Izzy plugging a Gibson ES-175 into a Mesa/Boogie amp. That right there was what glued everything together.
There must have been a genie, wizard or witch but something happened on that album that has hypnotized its fans ever since. Love is understatement.
Love this classic album. One of the best of all time
Motley Crue never put out an album that came even remotely close to replicating the success of Appetite. Still to this day, the best-selling debut album in the US and best GNR album

I wish there was of video of their recording the album. Too bad no one thought to have a video recorder.
