Best album yet. An album to actually listen to before you die. Some of the others I would rather die than listen 🤣
The singles, which are all bangers, aren't even the best songs on this record. It's really fucking spectacular.
Remains edgy and sounds fantastic 30 years later.
Stone cold classic
Probably my most listened to album of all time. I’ve never tired of it, still sounds fresh, all killer and no filler - a game changing album for me musically - I could rave on for hours about it - the easiest five stars I will ever dish out on this
It's so easy (to give this 5 stars)
Some good tunes but overall it's not my cup of tea. Bar a couple of songs i wouldn't listen again.

never been a GnR fan but i guess this is the good one

One of the Best
I hate this band. They were pumping out metal years after the genre should have been shot and pissed on. I I rented a place on the beach at Lake Simcoe where the per capita Guns & Roses fans may be a Canadian record high. I played this outside as I was firing up some dead animal on the BBQ. I was waiting for a neighbour to saunter over with a spliff glued to his lower lip and say " Fuckin Eh Man"
.
Overrated. Todo mundo le pone 5 estrellas, se me hace medianón el disco.
the best-selling debut album of all time for a reason!
Très content d’avoir découvert ce petit band Underground! Non sans farce, j’ai vraiment aimé l’album au complet, surtout les 4-5 premières chansons. J’ai découvert des tounes moins connues une fois Welcome to the Jungle terminée. Bref, c’est un 5!
It has some good songs but guns and roses is one of those bands that are better in small quantities rather than listening to a whole album. 3RS
Classic
Sounds the same as the last G and R album
Only really knew the hits off of this album and wasn’t sure how much I’d enjoy the rest. But it’s a really fun album. Does what it says on the tin really. And although Sweet Child O’ Mine is now synonymous with nights out in Walkabout bars, it was good to hear it in the context of the album and still has one of the best guitar solos of all time.
Welcome To The Jungle has to be one of the best album opening tracks of all time. Totally sets the mood for a great album. I'm definitely not the world's biggest GnR fan, but I do like this album. It is also hugely influential. 9/10
Nogal wild. Niet iets voor mij
Fun times.
Not listened in probably 20+ years. Was expecting it to feel dated and to not enjoy the main hits. Great fun, great riffs. Managed to get a few headbangs in with the kids. Happy days
Great album, plays like a greatest hits album, awesome listening to it
Ace
Very solid, would rate it 3.5/5.
Ok
The great tracks offset a couple of weaker ones
Paradise City alone deserves a 4
5/5
A ver, lo escuché de entrada con prejuicio de que no me iba a gustar, porque el hard-rock-metal de esa epoca, hijole... Pero de hecho sí me llegaron a gustar varios momentos del disco. Quizás no era tan malo como pensaba y a la ve tenía muy bajas expectativas. Con todo, la voz caracteristica de ese género me sigue dando cancer. Canciónes fav: It's so easy, Nightrain y Mr. Brownstone. Mood: Welcome to the high-pitched voices
First ever listen but know the big tunes. Welcome To The Jungle is a work of art, one of the best album openers ever. Fucking love it. Sweet Child has always pissed me off for some reason but appreciate why it's so famous. Overall it's shit hot but not a 5 for me.
Aw it's just far too much all the time but SLAESH
Great album
Doesn't get more 5 than this
Funny that my mom said she "hates GNR" then when Sweet Child of Mine came on, she's saying "OMG who performs this - I love this song!" :')
Pss no me convence
This is lowest-common denominator rock. Very simple sing along-y choruses and lyrics. One cliché piled on top of another. At least Iron Maiden were smart enough to make the lyrics garbled & unintelligible. The guitar playing is good but this music was so in the rear-view mirror in 87.
D’emblée, je ne tripais pas trop sur ce groupe. Pour moi c’est pas du métal et c’est du hard rock de matante cochones. Par contre, en écoutant l’album je me rend compte que je les aime les matantes cochones et que c’est quand même du bon rock. C’est quand même très innovateur comme musique, du heavy qui plait à tous avec des guitares et des melodie hargneuse Je l’évite, la voix d’Axel c’est bon une heure, plus que ça ça écœure Je lévite : it’s so easy, thinking about you, night train
Welcome to the Jungle is one of the best rock songs I have ever heard
I can’t believe this is on the list. G&R epitomize the cliched overblown 80s hair band. Every song sounds the same and his voice is annoying AF
pour les gun's sensiblement le meme commentaire mais j'ai déja joué leur version de knock on the heaven door en show et c'est un peu plus
Mmm, pues ya he dicho que el hard rock (¿esto es hard rock?) no es para mí y pues el problema que tengo con Guns N' Roses es que la voz acentúa todo lo que no me gusta jajaja. Pues las clásicas "Welcome to the Jungle" y "Sweet Child O' Mine" están okay, la última canción es buena para el cierre y "Think About You" medio la disfruté. Todo me suena igual, aunque quizá esté equivocado. No es un disco al que regresaría. 6.5/10
Hell yeah
Recuerdo cuando un compañero trajo este vinilo (este no, el de la portada original que luego censuraron) y fue un shock. En esa época de cierto éxito del Heavy-Metal de melenas cardadas y portadas espectaculares. Sin embargo, encontré un sonido diferente en este disco. Aquello era más Rock que Heavy y tenía canciones realmente buenas. Empezar con "Welcome to the jungle" y meter ahí un tema como "Sweet child o'mine".
This is a tough one to rate. On the one hand, it is insanity to think that a debut album could contain this many hits. It is up there with Boston's debut in that regard. I feel that it almost deserves 5 stars simply for that. On the other hand, I am so sick of these songs. You cannot turn on a radio station without hearing at least one of these songs once a day. 40 years later and we are still absolutely inundated with Sweet Child O Mine. I can't see myself listening to the entire album on purpose again, so I cannot give it 5.
This is all good stuff
Love this album... hard to find a bad song on the whole thing. GNR at their peak and an album I need to put into the rotation.
Fantástico
It's much as I remembered it. One good album, then 30 years of WTF.
Je vais avouer que les tounes qui ne sont pas des hits ont passées comme dans du beurre. Pas que c'était mauvais, je n'ai juste pas vraiment porter attention. Mon hit: Sweet child O mine. Criss qu'elle est forte.
What's to say? It's AMAZING
regular
An appetite for bangers
Has some good songs on it, not my favorite tho
I can't stand Guns N' Roses
Very Guns and Roses. The most guns that ever roses. Reminds me of when I was 17 and GnR were my band. :D
Mye småkult. Noen bangers, men ikke nok for å holde en interessert. paradise city og sweet child of mine er tøffe.
I love this album. Always have. Always will. One of the first albums I remember being able to listen to start to finish.
Mange kule ikoniske rockesanger her som påvirket mange av de som kom etter. Tar man bort de få klassikerne, er det ikke mye bra her. Ganske kjedelig og repetitivt. Bedre enn mye av den andre standard rocken fra 80-tallet, men likevel for monokromt for min smak. Ingenting som stakk seg ut.
I find it hard with this one. I have memories of absolutely loving this as a teenage and thinking it was simply brilliant. I don't enjoy it that much now. But does that mean it's a bad album? I am so confused
More fun than I remembered.
Pre party bops
it's hard to separate this album from the punk-ass bitch that axl is. welcome to the jungle was edgy and energetic in its time... i don't think i need to hear it again. brownstone, paradise, sweet child and rocket queen hold up better. interesting to read that it took this album over a year (june '87 to late '88) after release to find its popularity
Sweet Child & filler
it's just as bad as i remember it being. fuck, i hate axl rose.
Fun album from my youth.
Pretty awful. I'll give it 2 stars just because I think the guitar work is not bad.
When they had it together, GNR were amazing. Great album.
Not listening, have heard it enough. It’s perfect, quintessential 80’s metal.
Decc
Sounds like two cats in an alley. Sounds thin. I will give it another attempt one day though.
Smell you later
Looking for energy?
Too hard rock for me
Cool guitar playing, but a bit aggressive for my taste, especially the lyrics
Loved it when I first heard it back in the say, but now I think apart from a couple of outstanding tracks, it's very samey
Not my thing but I get why it's so popular.
His voice is so whiny. A few classic songs that I like probably because I've heard them so much. If I heard this without knowing how popular it is, I probably would pick out the 2 good songs and move on.
Not really my style -- funky and metallic, without much lyrical substance or 'groove'. It just felt empty to me and a bit boring. Some cool moments, but overall not my thing. Hard to get through the whole album, tbh
It's just not my thing. While G&R were better then most hair bands of the 80s, it's still butt rock. And I don't listen to it much these days.
Generic, boring frat rock.
Peak 80's hair metal, my guy.
This might be enjoyable, can't remember the songs on it. Forgot what a banger this was. Might be cheesy and corny, but It took me back to my teenage years..really enjoyed this one.
Echt tolles Album, und das Talent des Sängers (ist doch Alice Cooper, oder?) ist offensichtlich Bisher das beste Album.
Good enough
wow oh wow - never played from start to end all the way through before - so good but also so many unnecessary side comments and moaning xxx sounds/ lol
No.
meh pop rock
Classic.
A classic album for sure with some of the bangerest bangers on it but the interim songs weren't so good.
Love it
I do like the hits Paradise City and Sweet Child - but the rest of the album is a bit flat and similar
Undeniably important, but hair metal sucks and Axl's voice is annoying.
peak classic rock
One of the greatest rock albums of all time. Big guitar sounds, every song is great
Testament to GNRs success that I knew most of this album just from the hits, but liked hearing some new things by them from this album.
I'd never actually listened to the whole album, but knew a few singles I knew I'd love. Solid album, some songs I wasn't too fond of, others I found I rather enjoy. Great choice!
I can't express enough how this album is awesome, a genre-changing moment when it was released. Although today i'm not a big fan of GnR and even listening to this album bores me to hell, I can't ignore the genius behind it. I don't know if any other band can rival a first album like this.
Bruh
Really solid all the way through. Several huge hits that don't feel dated. This album must have seemed revolutionary when it first appeared 4/5
Seminal rock album some absolute tunes, Axel Rose is still a prick
meh
habs mit Janko über die Boxen gehört, vibes aber trotzdem nicht so mein Style + man fühlt sich wie nen alter Mann der cool sein will und mit dem Kopf aus seinem Caprio zur Musik singt
Good guitar band
Classic hard rock album. I think there’s a couple duds, but this was really a moment in rock, and even the songs I’m not crazy about have some kick ass-ity to em
Clássico da adolescência. Como Axel cantava....
One of the best debut albums of all time. One of the best hard rock albums of all time with many iconic songs that almost everyone on the planet knows.
Wow....I did not know Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City and Sweet Child O' Mine were all from the same album.
Decent
CD com mais da metade dos clássicos da banda, mas muito irregular. Ainda assim, merece 4 estrelas. PS: versão demo da Don't Cry no soundcloud parece Lynyrd Skynyrd
So there are a lot of really dated and, frankly, cheesy tracks on this album. But it also has Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, and Sweet Child O' Mine which are such absolute monsters that you can't not give the album as a whole a 5.
Classic, but a wholly overrated band
Two
darn good
Fun album. In my view this sound is the gold standard for hard rock as a genre. So many tracks with well-deserved classic status on this.
Not a fan of the vocals at all.
It was ok.
Is this the perfect debut record of all time? Me thinks so
Shit
One of the best rock albums of all time, even if a couple of tunes from it are way too overplayed on rock radio (paradise city, sweet child o mine) it's still just amazing. I'm more of a use your illusion kinda guy, but this is still getting a 5/5.
