Appetite for Destruction Changed Rock Forever | Ranking Every Song

Cool story for music heads.
I was 14 in 1987 and an all out metalhead thrasher, was going to the local music store on my bmx and they had the GnR AfD cassette fresh out of the box putting them on the shelf. I saw the cover and thought it was very cool so I bought it and needless to say I went to the store to see if they had DEATH SCREAM BLOODY GORE and they did. I left with both and that GnR was awesome – it was like rock and roll got a facelift. It rocked – Mr. Brownstone was a favorite. Also a great tape to have around the ladies.

U NEED TO GET TAIME DOWNE ON THE SHOW😎🙌❤️

Appetite is the best album ever made imo. Rocket Queen is the best song. I love this album.

I bought my first GNR Appetite cassette off of Columbia House's 12 for a penny ads. Played the heck out of it! So many great songs.

The only “problem” with any GNR song is they were overplayed to the extreme!!! My personal big love for the band started with me hating them so much for the only reason they were everywhere, non-stop played on any radio and TV! It was because you could not watch any Top 5 or Top 10 without GNR being on Number 1, doesn’t matter the song! Back when it was “Dial MTV”, (when I could only watch 30 min of music a day, because of Timezone restrictions) and every single day, I’m not joking, every single f’kin’ day it was GNR on Number 1 with Don’t Cry … Every single time I was like “O Noooo… not this band again!!!”

That all changed when I bought the “Use your Illusion” albums… I understood that this was not only a big hits band, but pretty much every other song could feature on the “Best Off” of any other band…. That’s when it became my favorite band and listening to Appetite for Destruction after that, only further consolidated their status! G’N’R forever!🎸❤️🌹❤️🎸

Top 5 all time for me

"Anything goes", credits to Izzy for percussion. It sounds like a güiro. A percussive Latin American instrument.

As far as Anything Goes, that is about the 5th version they came up with. I like the older versions better. Your Crazy was written acoustically the label forced them to plug in and record it.

Guns n Roses Appatite for Destruction – ACDC Back n Black – Motley Crue Shout at the Devil or the greatest albums ever recorded

G'n'R is kind of overrated to me. They really don't have much output. Great debut, yeah. Use Your Illusion certainly has enough songs for a great album, but certainly not 2.

They were the only concert I've ever left before the show ended. Use Your Illusion Tour in Hampton Roads Coliseum, VA. First of all, they came on about an hour and a half late. (Surely due to Axl.) It was a Wednesday night and people had work the next morning. Anyway, well into the show Axl goes on a stage rant berating anyone who listened to bands like Motley Crue, Poison, etc. (Fuck off, Axl.) Then they go into this really long and drawn out instrumental jam, ala Spinal Tap at a state fair. People were STREAMING out of the venue, including my wife and I.

But I will say this: I've NEVER seen a venue explode like when those opening guitar chords to Welcome to the Jungle rang out. The whole building seemed to shake.

As for the tracks, I'm guilty. I only pretty much like the singles. And Rocket Queen is cool too.

Sorry guru…but Mr Brownstone isn't and "anti" heroine song…it's a song about using and being on heroine.

while i think the last great rocknroll album was whats the story by oasis gnr may have had the most important rocknroll album of the 80s. it was brutal

Paradise City is GN’R’s Freebird. There are many other things the 2 bands share that I did a podcast about. Anthony should guest or a swapcast..

AFD is my FAVORITE record. Period.

12.) Think About You
11.) You're Crazy
10.) Paradise City (Heard it too many times and it drags on too long at the end of the day)
9.) Welcome to the Jungle (Like Paradise, overplayed)
8.) My Michelle
7.) Anything Goes
6.) It's So Easy
5.) Sweet Child (Still love that solo and breakdown. Never could "hear that part of the song too many times")
4.) Out Ta Get Me
3.) Mr. Brownstone
2.) Rocket Queen
1.) Nightrain

The sound in the beginning of Anything Goes is Axl squeezing a rubber duck to mimic a blow-up doll🤘💀🖤

Love AFD, 1st to hyped this video, keep this "night train" running brother, love yall from TEXAS!

I think Appetite For Destruction was the first Cassette Tape I bought that I actually liked and listened to every song on both sides of the tape. Before that album I'd usually just listen to any random bands cassette tape once to see which songs I liked and didn't care for and only listen to that one song I liked or a few songs on the whole album. Appetite turned out to be one of those rare albums that I could listen to the entire thing no problem.

I am watching this because of Mariah I dig Think About You of course "The Hits"

Mariah is back!!! shes the best m/

Rocket Queen is my favourite on this record.
