Appetite for Destruction Performed by Guns N' Roses Rated 3.5/5.0, based on 22 reviews. Buy from Amazon: New price: $1.09 Used price: $0.99 | Reviews guns and stinks Rating: 1/5 Did you know these guys copied the main guitar riff from the Black Sabbath song "Zero the Hero" and used it for "Paradise City?" Don't believe me? Just buy Sabbath's Born Again album and read the inside notes. All the information you need to know is mentioned right there in the notes. The other two hits by Guns N' Roses are just overplayed, unmemorable rock songs that seriously copied what Aerosmith was doing back in the mid 70's with the dirty, speedy rock sound. I don't sense a hint of originality anywhere. I don't sense any good music anywhere on the Appetite for Destruction album either. So why is it so popular? It's not a classic by any stretch of the imagination. 9 years old Rating: 5/5 im 9 and gunss n roses rock. who cares if it is explicit. i love sweet child o mon the best album ever made Rating: 5/5 if you like rock, then this is an album u havta have. If you like music, then this is an album u havta have. If you have a pulse, then this is an album u havta have.
Basically this album should be owned by everyone who likes music and appreciates the art form. This is obviously a classic album, yet is contemporary. You know its a good album when after x amount of years, and you still wanna listen to it. I myself am a huge gnr fan. I got into the music when November Rain hit the charts (I was a preteen then...oh and I suggest you do urself a favour and get those illusion albums). Anyways, AFD is the best album ever--I still listen to it till this very day, when I go out for my jogs. If you are not familiar w/ the group, let me explain some things: the music is catchy, deep, raw, intense, violent, sweet, dance-able, all wrapped into one. each and EVERY single track is an awsome song--it's like a greatest hits album! This was their debut album (1987) and it was a shot in the arm to the stale hair bands of the 80s. Trust me, you will like it, and appreciate it for all it's worth. All the members of the group played an integral part in the making of the best album of all time, and you will thank them for that! ONLY THE BOOKLET IS EDITED-NOT MUSIC! Rating: 1/5 Just to clear up some confusion, the booklet is what is edited. The unedited version, has a cartoonish picture of a woman who has just been raped by some kind of robot monster thing. The music is not edited. Pointless idea really! Just thought this would help someone out there.....music gets 5 stars, whosever idea this was gets 0 stars. Buy the unedited album. Rating: 1/5 Appetite for Destruction is arguably the best debut album of all time. The "censored" version is not very good. Most of the material is very poorly censored and although I respect the idea of censoring the music, I don't support it - because frankly kids should not be listening to Guns N' Roses, and if adults have a problem with mild language (and it is quite mild here) they just shouldn't be listening to Gn'R! Sometimes profanity filters are good (such as the one I purchased for my television for family viewing) - but editing a hard rock CD isn't a good idea since the content to begin with is pretty hardcore. I mean, the very idea of censoring "naughty words" from ROCKET QUEEN is hilarious - forget about the recorded female orgasm that plays midway through, just make sure they don't say any bad words! |
