    This song came out when I was 15 years old. The family Christmas party was being hosted at my house. I was really into Bon Jovi, Poison and Whitesnake at the time. It was early and I didn't even realize they had arrived yet from out of town but out of nowhere my cousin comes in my room and says, 'I want to play you something'. He dropped the Appetite cassette in my boom box (we had boom boxes back then) and pressed play. Welcome to the Jungle is the first song on the album and when it started my jaw just hit the floor. Whenever I hear this song I still think of that moment and your response to it pretty much mimics what mine was. Years later, my cousin died from exposure in a snowstorm but I will always remember him introducing me to Guns n Roses at that Christmas party.

Though AfD topped the chart again for a week in February of '89, interrupting Bobby Brown's "Don't Be Cruel".

    This song was an important turning point for music in the late 80’s. Hair metal ruled at the time- Motley Crue, Poison, etc. Then GnR came along with a much harder sound, much more guitar-driven, that really put a bite into music that hair metal lacked. No one’s ever gonna put Mick Mars and….whoever….from Poison in the same league as slash. Appetite for Destruction lit a fire under the music scene back then.

Paradise City is another mind blower, especially knowing that he gets through it live without a break for oxygen.

    The diversity of Axl’s singing is pretty crazy with 6 octaves. Most don’t realize how good Axl’s voice is, ow was. Very few have an octave range of six or higher. Incredible. This is based on studio recordings I believe. See article link below. Also how good their writing was, so much depth. I have a lot of respect for this group.
    Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose has demonstrated the greatest vocal range in studio. Mariah Carey comes in second, followed by Prince, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Christina Aguilera and David Bowie.

He hired the two of us to sit in the attic space of an Industrial building sorting kwik loks into sample bags to give to potential buyers. It was hot up there and after a day of boredom we grabbed a boom box. I told her I had just bought the Guns n Roses tape. We spent that summer memorizing every word in Appetite For Destruction.

Sweet Child of Mine is the only serene lyrics, also a must for a playlist.

      my buddy keeps going ‘you recognize that lick’, I’m like ‘ yeah, but I can’t place it’ then it kicks in & hits me at the same time THE GODFATHER! I was blown away, this dude is playing the Theme from the movie The Godfather on the guitar , and KILLING IT!!!
      Phenomenal guitarist. His hands look like they’re as big as snow shovels! He can cover about 8 frets with one hand. Oh, and earlier someone in the comments mentions Duff McKagen being the key to the band… if you can ever get to listen to anything he plays on really good headphones, or maybe even an iso of his bass lines, they’re just as insane as any Slash solo.
