Appetite For Destruction

Remarkably bad

Pure shit. Normally I could just sit here in silence but I actually have to listen to something good now to cleanse my brain.

Definitely a good classic, and I love some of the songs on there. Overall not too much for me, but still great.

GnR's debut set a bar that the band never achieved again. In an era of emerging hip hop, dying new wave, hair band tomfoolery, and soulless techno (which I loved anyway), Appetite for Destruction was a breath of fresh air. It was old school hard and yet, foreshadowed the alt rock of the next decade. GnR's best music, especially Paradise City, Sweet Child O' Mine, and the lead off Welcome to the Jungle, are full of good old-fashioned rock and roll energy without the prissiness of the hair bands. Appetite for Destruction turned GnR into superstars. Unfortunately, the pressure of being rock gods was more than the band, especially lead singer Axl Rose, could handle. They continued to pump out a few more albums, none of which could match their debut. For a moment though, they were amazing and this album is that moment.

His voice still grates but have to admit the quality of this album. Paradise City waaaaay too overplayed but there were better tracks on here I’ve not heard before.

I have zero desire to listen to any of these songs again

ассоциации с холт хайдом из monster high. альбом понравился и появился интерес к прослушиванию других треков группы

Maybe I should have guessed this ahead of time but I'm only a few albums in and already feeling like this list is actually "1001 overplayed albums that no one on god's green earth ever needs to hear again." I can see why Appetite For Destruction may once have had a reason to exist, but that time has long since passed. To be avoided, if only that were possible.

it was just okay. the gap between the big hits to it's lesser songs is quite big. The album does not flow well either. Not to take away from their hits, but this album is just meh.

Why is this up here??? It’s got some classic songs and has an unreal intro track. But I really wanted to skip through the rest of it

Fast, loud, fun - everything you want from 80s hair metal. These guys set the standard.

Great Album

Hard to not give this 5 stars. Even the (few) non hit songs on here are great. Has to still be one of the best debut albums of all time. Highlights: "Welcome to the Jungle", "Mr. Brownstone", "Paradise City" and "Sweet Child O' Mine"

I don't particularly enjoy it, at least not a full album's worth all at once. But there's no denying this is a fukkn classic. Honestly I wanted to speed thru and give it a bad review, but there's so goddamned much here that I can't. Not in good faith anyway. Was this their peak? I don't know, I'm honestly asking. If it wasn't it has to be damn close. It is what it is. And for what it is, there ain't much better. I hope the listen won't fuck my algorithm, but I gotta admit it was fun.

released 1987. their debut album but also the highest selling and most critically acclaimed. hard rock/metal genre songs i already knew: welcome to the jungle, paradise city, sweet child o mine songs i liked: its so easy fun facts: members came from bands Hollywood Rose and L.A Guns to form the new fusion band. they became known as the ‘most dangerous band in the world’ fo their heavy partying and drug use. during song rocket queen featuring adriana smith, lead vocalist axl rose had sex with her in the studio during the guitar solo

Every song rly good with very standout moments. Lacks with variety a tiny bit that keeps it from being perfect but overall amazing.

Liked sweet child of mine Little too rock for me

3.5/5, good classic rock sound and I like their hairstyles

Wasn’t a fan in 1987. Still not.

Welcome to the jungle and Sweet child of mine still hold up really well tbh. Track 2 is also really good and sounds like it might have influenced stone temple pilots and I also think I heard some QOTSA in there but I might be crazy. The rest of the album kinda fell flat for me and sounded like the same thing. Paradise City doesn’t hold up for me. Kinda goofy.

The three best tunes they ever put on record, but not much else has aged particularly well.

A lot of songs that bring back memories of Early HS years. As much as I want to hate on it because if Axl Rose i Can't its really good

Really strong debut, almost 5 start

4.5. This was good

Absolute classic

neslysela jsem cele, ale par prvnich pisnicked i loved

Fantastic album. Have heard many times before.

Satisfying, energetic riffs. Feels like the origin of corny lyrics though Fave tracks: Nighttrain, Mr. Brownstone, Paradise City, Sweet Child O’ Mine, Rocket Queen

paradise city … where the grass is green and the girls aren’t pretty - dad’s lyrics. i’ve heard this song my whole life 😭

I had high hopes for this album that weren't met. The hits from this record are timeless, and can really display G&R peak lyrical and musical abilities (Sweet Child of Mine is the clearest standout) but so many other tracks are mindless, poorly written or just bloat the runtime. If this was a 35 min album comprised mostly of key tracks this score would have been higher. 3/5

Can be fun every once in a while but a little too Man With a Lot of Confidence for my vibe usually. Overall is fun, great guitar, obviously.

just finished listening to the whole album, i only liked a few songs, good music just not my favorite, overall rating 6.5/10.

Pretty good, most were a little too rock for me.

This was an interesting one to get for 100. It's crazy to me that "Welcome to the Jungle" "Paradise City" and "Sweet Child O' Mine" are not only on the same album, but that it's their debut album. "It's So Easy" and "My Michelle" are also alright, but holy fuck these songs are overplayed. This isn't really my style of music, but I'm not gonna pretend like these songs aren't at least decent, but goddamn it's been almost 40 years I think we can stop playing these songs on the radio.

I have always had a strong dislike for this band. This is just not the type of music that I will ever be able to enjoy. The screeching vocals drive me nuts, the sleazy songwriting makes me nauseous, and the instrumentation is generic. I can at least recognize the commercial prowess of the album though. To have this many hits in a record is impressive.

Pumps me up in the gym. Not a huge fan of Axls voice.

How many guitar solos does one album need? Honestly, give me the hits from this bad boy (and there’s a lot of them!) and nothing in between. What an album to knit to.

Definitely some weaker songs here, but this is such a fun guitar album - I think the riffs and solos carry even the weakest songs like they were KG dragging the Wolves to the conference finals.

Imponerande att kunna låta så töntiga och coola samtidigt. För några låtar och hitsen är det uppe på höga betyg. Men att höra ett helt album där varje låttext känns som en mellanstadiekille med dampmössans anteckningsblock blir lite väl mycket. Föll ner från en trea till en stark tvåa för mig.

Klart det är en rökare, lyckas nästan(!) bli 12 igen när jag älskade det här. Har albumet åldrats dåligt? Vet inte. Har jag åldrats dåligt? Vet inte. Hitsen gör iaf att det landar på en stabil 3a.

En no skip trip. Helt perfekt hårdrocksplatta. Full pott så det skriker om’et.

Kul att återkomma till mitt favoritband i mellanstadiet. Kanske mest nostalgi som luras men hitsen kan jag digga. Dock låter hans röst rätt jobbig nu. Resten är inte så bra, lökigt och tråkigt.

Sånt jävla tryck! Är inget större fan, men här har dom skapat något fantastiskt.

Zwei dinge: Fergie > Axl Welcome to the jungle-trailern för GTA: San Andreas 😮‍💨

3a pga vissa bangers

Finns väl inga andra som låter så här? Riktigt bra GTA-musik

A lot of good, some bad. This isn't my favorite flavor of Guns n Roses, a lot of it is kinda dumb and trashy... But at the end of the day I still kinda love it? Maybe I'm just in a generous mood today.

Unexpectedly I liked this better before I listened to it for the list. It's really just Sweet Child O' Mine and maybe Mr. Brownstone that hold up to what I remember and the rest is...pretty bad outside the singles. Went in expecting this to get a high rating but I don't think it will. this is unfortunately not trying too hard Guns n Roses, it is sewer people Guns n Roses already in collection

Another absolute classic. Paradise City gives me chills in the best way possible. What a memory lane.

3 classsic Rock songs on this. Slash is an incredible guitarist and axel’s vocal range is pretty incredible. I like more song then I thought I would, but the songs sounded similar.

this band is awful. there's so many radio hits on this album, and they're awful. some of them are dumb in a way that's a little bit funny. the Disturbed ooh wah ah ah ah of 1987. music: hated. (⌐■_■)

My wife is a reformed Guns N Roses fan, and luckily for me we had an hour’s drive yesterday so she had to listen to it with me. She said fairly confidently, “This is really their only good one.” She seemed to know all the words to all the songs. It was something to behold. Anyway if this is their only good one, I don’t think they have any good ones.

It's kinda of funny, but I've never really considered Guns N' Roses a hair metal band. I know, genre labels can be pretty arbitrary, but I'unno. They just never felt like they belonged, y'know? For one, they all have long hair, but they never did it up like any of the other big hair metal bands of the time. They sure as heck didn't wear any make-up or tight leather, either. And beyond aesthetics, hair metal tends to largely be pretty poppy. I mean, you go listen to Poison's "Unskinny Bop", right? I like that song a lot, but there's no teeth to it; you take away the guitars and replace 'em with synths and no one would guess otherwise. They never truly had any edge — unlike Guns N' Roses. Guns N' Roses, going by this album anyway, come off like a band of street toughs. The way they play and sing about life in the city and sex and drugs, you'd swear they'd kick your ass seven ways to Sunday if you looked at 'em a little weird. And that's even **with** the poppier songs that're on here, like "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Think About You". That's just their power — put against their contemporaries, they feel like they're a different genre entirely. But, indeed, they **are** hair metal. And lemme tell you, this is some of **the** best hair metal ever made. Maybe not **the** best ever, period; in regards to the traditional stuff I'd still tip the hat to Bon Jovi's 'Slippery When Wet'. As far as hard and heavy music goes, however, Guns N' Roses are right up there with the absolute best. Seriously, 'Appetite For Destruction' just does not **stop**. From the moment it kicks off on "Welcome To The Jungle", all the way to the end of "Rocket Queen", there isn't a single second wasted. And given that that's a stretch of 54 minutes, that's impressive as hell. Off the top of my head, I can't really think of another band who could've rocked this hard and long besides this combo of Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven I feel like I could write a 2k word review about this album, like I've done for 'Sgt. Pepper's' and 'Songs In The Key Of Life'. That is truly how much I enjoy this thing and how much it excites me. I could go deep describing every little thing I love about Axl's unique vocal style, or Slash's simple-yet-effective-as-hell guitar playing, or how damn good Izzy, Duff and Steven do filling out the sound. I could honestly go track-by-track like I did with 'Purple Rain' and point out every moment I love, like the "FUCK OFF" on "It's So Easy", or Axl's flow on "Mr. Brownstone", or how the riff for "Sweet Child O' Mine" was originally just an exercise, or just the entire back half of "Rocket Queen", which is truly my favorite part of the entire album. I don't think I really need to, though. And I don't mean for that to be a cop-out on actually going into detail; it's just that my love for this album is that simple and doesn't require a million words. Like, all I really need to do is just say that despite how much I've heard "Welcome To The Jungle" and "Sweet Child O' Mine" in my life, I'm not sick of them. Not even close. I still love to hear them, wherever and whenever they show up. And if I'm the kind of person who can get past the hurdle of overplay, you can only imagine the affection I have for the rest of the album. Frankly, the only complaint I really have about this album is that there's a couple of songs on the back half that aren't **quite** up the same snuff as the songs up front? "Anything Goes", "You're Crazy" ... I get my kicks out of them, but they've never felt as special as songs like "Nightrain" and "Rocket Queen". They're the "minor rockers" on this album, for sure. But I'm gonna act like they're **too far** below everything else — it's more a case where everything surrounding them is so incredible and iconic that songs that're merely damn good fun can't help but pale a little in comparison. 'Appetite For Destruction' is an absolute blast, simple as that. Maybe a little cheesy, sure, but given how much cheese I've eaten in my life ... goodness, why stop now? It's one of the best hard rockers and debut albums I've ever heard. And despite how much I've already said about it, I'm not gonna force myself to drag it out any longer. Truly, I think the electricity, energy and excitement speak for themselves. If hair metal died not too long after this album came out, I can't think of a better album for the genre to go out on. Guns N' fuckin' Roses, man. I tell yah.

One hell of a way to make a first impression. Solid 5 Stars.

It’s a 10. It’s probably way higher. I mean, “Welcome to the Jungle” is just so ubiquitous in all of pop culture that it’s easy to forget it’s the very first song on a debut album. It might be the greatest first track on a debut album ever. It sets such an incredibly high bar that the rest of the album feels like a challenge to top it, and somehow, by the very end, it feels like they’ve managed to go to the moon. We’ve gotten a good chunk of hard rock albums like this where I’ve entered a total zen state, fully in sync with the band, and yet I’m convinced after a first listen that this is the very best of those albums. “Highway to Hell” was probably the gold standard going into this, and given how much this album shares its DNA with that one in terms of keeping up an insanely paced energy, I’m not surprised at how similar it felt. The difference between this & “Highway to Hell” is that there are 3 incredible all-timer tracks that I already knew about going into this; somehow, hearing them & their placement in the album as a fully structured & paced out project with two distinct sides elevated them all even higher. “Paradise City” as the closing track to the first side of the album works hand-in-hand perfectly with the thematics of “Welcome to the Jungle” & all the tracks in between, showing just how much of a bitch city life can really be. I guess I should’ve paid more attention to realize “Paradise City” is more of a “get me back to God’s country” sort of thing, but they spell it out in spades when you’re actually paying attention to these lines. The back half of the album is all love songs, to a degree, and they all flow perfectly. I don’t think I can praise “Sweet Child o’ Mine” enough as the climax to the whole album, but the way it contrasts its flowery prose-filled representation of beauty in love works really nicely with how straightforward “Think About You” is right before it. OK, well, I guess “You’re Crazy” is a hate track, but I do kind of love a confrontational track being placed in the middle of all this. The fact that the whole album ends on a track where Axl Rose literally has recorded sex (don’t check what “Axl Rose” is an anagram for) before doing a whole speech about devotion is pretty funny, honestly. He’s totally earnest too. It’s a brilliantly structured record, given the “G” side & the “R” side being thematically distinct yet all blending together via their soundscapes & energy. Since each track feels like it’s doing its own thing, it all sticks out more memorably as a full set of tracks as opposed to the total ball of energy of “Highway to Hell” as one long blended kick-ass thing. I really can’t praise this album enough, but any more words I type would just be repetitive. Ultimately, it’s one hell of a Christmas present to get this. The whole album is a front to back masterpiece of hard rock, and I can’t imagine we’ll get one in this style that surpasses this, at least for ones that I’ll end up in total sync with. It’s a 10, if not way higher.

Bad

Hell yeah. 5/5

Nope! Next

Even the hits are annoying. 2/5

Liked it much more than I was expecting. The hits from this are iconic. Mr. Brownstone and My Michelle were my favorite songs I hadn’t heard. Some songs did go a little long. Will definitely listen again though. My first full album from this band.

3.5 some all time great songs but also some that felt forgettable to me

There's a lot to be annoyed by (and some to be offended by) but the work by Slash here is iconic.

Excellent album. Soundtrack to my last year in Uni. Great tracks throughout, especially Welcome to the Jungle, Mr Brownstone, Paradise City and Sweet Child of Mine.

Lots of energy and great guitar riffs, enjoyed most tracks and absolutely loved "Sweet Child o' Mine", which ups the rating for me!

Reminds me of high school

It's a lot of fun with some great tunes, although the harder they try to sound cool and dangerous, the funnier they get. Is it just me or does the swearing on this sound weirdly self-conscious?

Garbage music. Would much rather hear Van Halen

just not my typa music

Greatest album of all time. Totally bias. I love this album. Guns N' Rosea has been my favorite band since I can remember.

nostalgia card declined: prendo paradise city, me la infilo sotto la felpa e me la do a gambe. almeno quella, in onore di quando ero alle medie.. la realtà è che non mi sono mai comprata la loro maglietta per paura che qualcuno mi fermasse per strada e mi chiedesse di dirgli dieci canzoni dei guns. conoscendone solo sette mi avrebbe certamente strappato di dosso la maglia e derisa pubblicamente.. sai, come di solito fanno i passanti qualunque..

When people talk about music being fatiguing this is what they must be talking about. It's such an effort to listen to and at the same time super boring. I find very little interest in this despite its fame, I can't seem to access why any of the stand out tracks are worth repeat listens and I can't see myself listening to them more than once unless forced to. If I was forced to, it wouldn't be torture but I wouldn't like it.

Mrh

Elite dance and groove album

My first Guns N Roses! Definitely a powerhouse album- so many hits, amazing technical skill and Axel has a powerful voice. For a debut album, they immediately solidified themselves as hair metal gods. I throughly enjoyed it. Overall- i think it's a 4.5/5 for me. Given the permeation of the hits and it being their debut album, I think it can be upgraded to a 5

banger

E X C E L L E N T

I agree with what some other reviewers said about this album. I’m so sick of some of these songs from the radio overplay they got. So glad I don’t listen to the radio anymore. There’s so many hits! It’s crazy, quite a few underrated once’s as well. My Michelle example one. I just can’t bare myself to rate this as a 5, but if you were a 13 year old listening for the first time you’d be in for a treat.

Legendary

Crazy this is a debut album, the three big songs on here are instant classics. Not sure the rest of the album holds up

Det är ett rockalbum, inte så mycket mer än så dock. Kan vara ett av de mest överspelade albumen någonsin dock vilket det absolut tappar poäng på.

Look, I am not a Guns And Rose's guy but I don't see how you can't rate this thing a 5

the one guy i knew who really liked gnr turned out to be a scumbag, so that really clouded my initial thoughts on the album, but to give it a fair listen: three or four very good songs and the rest are definite scumbag music

Firstly, Axl Rose's voice is intolerable. Secondly, the big songs have been overplayed to death. Thirdly, the majority of the album tracks did absolutely nothing for me. Some good moments of interplay with the bass and guitars, Welcome To The Jungle, despite overplay, is still a banger. Other than that though, did not enjoy this and was bored by the end.

Not a fan of the sound. Guitar is great, drums are solid, singer is just bad. Wouldn't listen to the whole album again, but there's a couple tracks that are solid

it was ight

A friend of mine gave me a home-made cassette of this right after it came out and I played it to death. I'd never really liked metal but this was something different and it just this evoked this vivid portrait of late 80s LA decadence that as a 17 year old I was all about lol. My boy had cut Sweet Child for space reasons (80s problems) and when I started hearing it on the radio the guitar riff blew my mind. I asked him how the hell he could cut that of all songs and he said he thought I wouldn't like it because it was too soft lol

Couldn’t escape this record in my childhood and still find it very grating

7/10, good album.

King of the genre. Axl and Slash were both special talents.

Okay

It appears I’ve grown up and away from this album.

Just not my thing. In all honesty I didn’t even listen to the whole album because it annoyed me so much. Axl’s singing style just doesn’t work for me.

8/10 Can't separate my youth from an objective analysis. Gets 4 stars because, ok? 12-17-2025

There are some songs in the album that are absolute masterpieces and legendary (I personally loved Nightrain, My Michelle and then obviously the iconic ones as well like Paradise City, Sweet Child O'Mine and Welcome To The Jungle). Overall, this album is why Guns N' Roses have gone down in history!

A classic. Unfortunately didn't have enough time to listen to it all before my next album, but will be revisiting soon! Liked songs: All so far!

Everything is typically weighted towards the Big Three (Jungle, Child and Paradise) but there's more in there if you dig below the surface, even if it's clear why they don't tour them. It's easy to criticise the album for being very samey, but given it's a debute album from a fairly young group (at the time), can you expect much else?

There isn’t a single person doing this project that hasn’t heard this a million times surely? One of the best hard rock albums ever and in the conversation for the best debut ever (with Pearl Jam, Stone Roses, Joy Division, Oasis and Jeff Buckley). Stone cold masterpiece.

This is a hard one. A good portion of the songs on this album are nearly ubiquitous in pop culture to the point of being cliche and uninteresting. However, at the time this album came out, it was a punch in the mouth to the glam metal scene.

E cam mult guns n roses in one sitting pt mine, dar are sweet child of mine

One, if not the greatest debuts of all time

Yup, it's Guns N' Roses. Yup. Favorite track(s): Actually kind of a tough one. "Welcome to the Jungle" is a fun track, but I'd probably have to go with "Sweet Child O' Mine." These are some crazy huge hits to be on an album together. Unfortunately, even though I like these tracks, I'm not really in love with them or with this album as a whole.

This gets two stars just for having "Paradise City" and "Sweet Child" which are GREAT songs but the rest was not for me.

Some classic songs I love on this one!

Just too undeniable. 80's rock is usually eye rolling but it's just done to perfection here, goddamn, lightning in a bottle. 9/10

Très très fort bravo les gars

3 banger, le reste très bon, culte

Fun fact : dans rocket queen c’est réel c’est la copine de l’époque de Axl rose qu’il a record. Probablement l’album que j’ai le plus écouté de ma vie, et quel album… J’ai déjà écouté tous les sons 1 par 1 et même quand on sort des plus connus c’est des putain de bangers/classiques. Slash je t’aime

Enjoyed!

Made me want to listen to more rock. Great album, no skpis!

If you can bear Axl Rose's voice for the entire duration, this album rocks. The rest of you should move on.

Pretty good album with a lot of notable songs.

I'm going to go with a 4, although somewhat reluctantly. It's not an album I reach for when I want to rock out, but I can appreciate the point of it.

Took me back to my youth. Always had the album on repeat

Lotta guitar, lotta f bombs! Slash has such good hi-gain arrangements. There’s a sharp divide between the mega hit tracks and the other tracks. I can’t tell if it’s familiarity bias or what. There are so many songs on here ingrained into music history, mega hits, that the other tracks sometimes feel out of place. The work as a whole gives a lot of context to late 80s butt metal.

Hmm. Reminds me of an old friend I had in the 80s.

Perfection all the way through.

This is a true bias sweep. This has some of the all time greats of my childhood and also My Michelle a song I’ve been oddly obsessed with for a while.

Hard rock classic

Classic

Better than expected some decent song writing but it’s still metal even if it’s metal lite.

3/5

Oh, Dios... Llevaba días queriendo escuchar este disco. Por rachas me parecen unos dioses y a veces no los soporto mucho. Me llega en un momento de idilio con ellos.

The best selling debut album of all time, One of the greatest Rock N Roll Albums ever made.

Pretty solid first album, obviously best songs from it have stood the test of time. My Michelle was an underrated classic and one of my top ones apart from the other obvious 3 greats that come from this album.

Original review, couldn't have said it better myself... oh wait "Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-knees, I love it. I won’t lie and tell you I was a huge fan of GnR back in my teenage years, I was more into Nirvana and MetallicA. But this is a top album. Sometimes Axl’s voice grinds me and the dead awful dancing in their videos is cringe worthy, but you can’t take that away from this ground breaking record. Slash paved the way for many guitarists and remains to be one of the must influential pros out there. His blues prowess gives their tracks some really oomph, his solos are not to be sniffed at. The sound and energy is ace. With so many top hits in one album and all songs being enjoyable you really can’t give this less than a 5, whether you’re a fan or not. Come on!"

Couple of good songs I like. Not my type of music though. 2/5

It is what it is lol

Pretty great record. That mid-high marshal Slash sound had my ears buzzing pretty hard by the end haha and while I'm pretty sure he was the coolest thing in the universe at the time Axl Rose seems pretty insufferable to me now... anyway this is a great debut record despite the extreme overplayed-overhyped Jungle and Sweet Child singles.

Ripper

i loved the instruments and the background vocals and ad libs. this was very like i expected it to be which is definitely not my favorite but not the worst. my favorite was mr brownstone.

!!!!!!! yes

One of those undeniable records.

An absolute hydrogen bomb of an album. It's either the most fuckwithable album of the most unfuckwithable album at all time. I would take 1/10th of a point off for the female orgasm sounds in Rocket Queen, though; I get caught out by that every time I listen to this at the office.

Appetite for Destruction is the album that politely kicks down the door, drinks your last beer, and leaves you thanking it for the privilege. “Welcome to the Jungle” doesn’t so much welcome you as it shoves you into traffic with a grin, while “Paradise City” suggests paradise is mostly loud guitars and questionable life choices. Slash appears to have misplaced the memo about subtlety (thankfully), and Axl Rose delivers vocals that could file HR complaints in gentler genres.

The first few opening tracks irritated me with their straight macho vibe, but the second half has many bops with a very interesting sound.

Younger me loved G&R but I don't vibe with them as much as I used to it. Still fun to revisit this one - an undeniable classic with a shocking number of certified bangers, even more so considering that it's their debut. None of these tracks are filler. Enjoyed Paradise City the most this time around although Welcome to the Jungle always used to be my favourite. It's hard to really judge a lot of these songs since they are so ubiquitous.

welcome to the jungle- classic, nothing much to say but im mentally headbanging rn it's so easy; felt a little spicy idk this is the exact album i would listen to for a pick me up but eddie munson baddie type beat lolz

Not my cup of tea, but you can't ignore the sick guitar riffs

I'm curious to see what the sentiment is like for this album in the present day. Is it still timeless or overrated now? This has always been a revered album even whilst I was growing up and getting exposed to all sorts of music. Crazy that this was GnR's debut too. Every human being has heard the three big singles here. They're in your face, they rock hard, and are pretty emotional. I'd argue most of the rest carries as much emotion as the aforementioned singles, but in a more cheesy and goofy sense unfortunately. Like I cringed at some of the lyrics in these other tracks. The high parts of the album rip, don't get me wrong, but the rest was a bit forgettable.

Classic, rock n roll voice, depravity

List of things I like about gnr: Slash is a good guitarist, and most of the band is very technically talented List of things I dislike about gnr: Axl rose is a horrid vocalist, bottom 5 of all time Lyrics are terrible Music is boring and sounds the exact same flavor of boring throughout the course of this hour long album How is this dog shit album so universally beloved?

Nah

It’s not that great of an album, but it has 3 songs I really like on it. So, maybe a star for each of those? I wasn’t horribly put off by the rest of it, so I guess a 3 works

LEGENDARY album, LEGENDARY songs, LEGENDARY listen

Decent listen.

Guns n' Roses is a band that was hugely successful, but unfortunately for me it's to their detriment. Appetite for Destruction is heavily reliant on its singles, but I have a hard time enjoying any of them because they've all been played to death. Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, and Sweet Child o' Mine are decent enough hard rock songs, but they're just too everywhere. The rest of the album isn't great, a lot of fiddling with a very generic screams-of-the-80s sound with a lot of uncomfortably sexual songs that just don't do it for me. While I don't love the sound they're going for, I'll defend it a little from an engineer's point of view. It's very well produced and I think in terms of hard rock everything sounds punchy and full. That being said, it doesn't make up for the fact that the only three songs worth a damn on this whole record have been forever ruined for me by the MLB and 94.7 FM Dad Rock Radio.

slash is great! axl rose is great at times. really tight debut album. if im feeling particularly grumpy i could see this album slipping to a 2-2.5 due to axl being annoying. 3.5

Some decent tracks but the lead singer guy is really annoying.

Hard rocking and not very deep... but a good vibe overall. Spent many hours listening to this after it came out and remember getting pumped up by most of the songs. It hits different decades later. Less straight up rock, more posturing and pretentious. I can still sing along but don't feel much for it anymore.

This album blew me away when I first heard it, during my very impressionable early teen years. I loved everything about it, the punk attitude, the glam/scuzz look, the musicianship, and the videos. All these years later, these songs are still great to listen to, and you can feel the influence these guys had, from grunge to punk-pop to garage revival.

Although I consider myself somewhat of a metal fan, there is something I really dislike about 80's heavy metal bands. This is no exceptions.

Insane for a debut. If i liked hard rock more it would be 5* for sure 4/5

Don't know that I have ever listed to this in full. Decent album with some classics and the guitar work is amazing, but I can only handle this in small doses. 80s hair metal was not my thing

Great for an energy boost!

Even when axl rose is singing about doin' my sister it still kinda rocks

makes sense that theyre called guns n roses considering how much they BLOW!!!! thanks i'll be here all night

Sick tunes and attitude. The correct type of appetite if you wanna be a rock star

Classic...one of the best ever

Another album where I had heard the hits but not the full album. The hits are hits for a reason. I enjoyed those but didn’t really see too many standouts outside of them. Incredible though, that a single album produced literally all the songs I know by a very popular band.

Appetite For Destruction deserves its many flowers (Roses, to be specific). Hard not to like, even for somebody not particularly into its brand of hard rock/metal. Like Accadacca or KISS before them there's not really any unsafe boundary-pushing tracks here (and thank god it's not glam), but what it lacks in novelty it makes up for in sleazy, mischievous reliability. Half this album is stuffed with tracks that every person and their dog has heard a million times on store radios over the last four decades and it's still got some good legs. fav tracks: Out Ta Get Me, Paradise City

As great as a handful of these songs are, this band is spectacularly overrated. Even their best songs--Welcome to Jungle, Sweet Child of Mine, Paradise City--have parts of them that suck, mixed right in there with brilliant parts. And several songs on this record are straight-up filler. So some stars for the Sweet Child riff, the intense intro and cool longing ache of the bridge in Welcome, the pastoral weirdness of Paradise. And damn does this band like a coda.

I was working a temp job in 1987 just as this album was breaking, and my slightly older teenage coworker told me a story about partying with Guns n Roses which I wish I had written down. Anyway, this has not held up very well, imo. A lot of the songs sound, well, juvenile. It’s getting three stars because it also has three enduring classics.

Forget what I’ve said on former reviews. THIS is the best debut of all time. Every member is at the top of their game, the songwriting is excellent. Except for maybe 3 tracks, every single song here could be a single. Not to mention the guitar tone with just the right amour of grit, impossible to recreate. It’s been one of my favourite albums for 36 years, and even though I should be sick to death of the radio singles by now, I still get excited when they crank it up on the second part of the lead in Sweet Child O’ Mine. Favourite Track: Rocket Queen (still gives me goosebumps) Most underrated track: Think About You

....

A classic, just too old for me.

I never understood the hype surrounding Guns N' Roses. The music is rather ordinary. I also can't understand the repeated praise for Slash's supposed virtuosity on the guitar. Maybe it's because I don't play the guitar myself. Anyway, I find this album ordinary too. It played in the background and at least didn't bother me. 3/5

Fantastic debut

I don't know what it is but I have really been wanting to check out Guns N' Roses for a little bit now, I am not even a huge fan of them or anything but something inside me has been craving this cheesy Hard Rock sound. This album screams asshole in every which way I can imagine it, whether it is that asshole neighbor who revs up their motorcycle at 5am on a weekend or this being a 12 track anthem for a deadbeat father who loves Natural Light. In all seriousness I think that aspect comes from Axl Rose being the frontman of this band, he has one cool vocal trick he can do and he pulls that out whenever he can to assert some kind of dominance over all the scruffy and not nearly as vocally ranged lead singers of the time to seem like he is the best one out there. Maybe on a hypothetically technical level yes he is, but Axl Rose is not using his skills in any sort of interesting ways here outside of suiting that late 80s Hard Rock mold to a T. I think one of the main reasons this album is looked so fondly upon is because of all the hard work Slash does to make this one killer project for the ages with those consistently top notch and meaty guitar parts that make me water each and every time I hear them. There is literally no reason why Guns N' Roses should be given any sort of serious attention other than the fact that Slash is in their band. This project is a perfect example of just how good and bad Hard Rock can be all together in a 53 minute album by one of the worst mainstream bands out there.

Better then expected but still not my cup of tea.

Another one of those iconic debut albums with mainstays in the rock singles rotation. Easy 4/5.

I’m going to watch you bleed? Anyway, I recognize some of the hats on the album cover. I like it’s so easy better 5than welcome to the jungle. Added mr brownstone to my library It was interesting. I only knew sweet child of mine before this. I don’t enjoy some of the whine that you hear in the higher pitched vocals, which I’ve heard in some of the tracks

i feel like it’s a good album that gained the popularity it has not out of an empty place, but i’m so tired of it and they are so problematic a 5 would be an overdo, but a 3 feels like a lowering, so i guess it’s a 4(the weakest one so far)

Great

It's incredibly full of hits, what else can I say? Maybe avoid the sex song next time?

Super, super fun album. I'd obviously listened to the hits probably a million times before, but there was some serious heat in the album cuts. I love Axl's voice and the general 80s vibes. Definitely made me wanna cause some trouble and some ruckus. Slash also straight rips that guitar to shreds. Made me wanna listen to more of their albums.

I bought this cassette right after it came out when I was like 12 years old. So of course I've heard it a million times but threw it on in the background while reading a book tonight. It didn't take long for me to put down the book because this album is irresistible.

It just rocks. There's not much more to say.

Music is ok but I can’t stand Axl’s voice.

I have the alternative cover vinyl of this, although it is a bootleg. That said, I'm not a huge GnR fan... in the dispute between them and Nirvana back in the 90s, I fell firmly on the Nirvana side and perhaps that tainted my view of them. I came to enjoy GnR later but largely the singles and for me, that's where they excel. The rest of the album ranges between ok and good. It's one I play very occasionally and very much need to be in the mood for, otherwise, they're a playlist band for me.

Debut albums don't get too much better than this. I wish they could have kept it up instead of imploding, but we got this and the Illusion records out of the deal at least.

I can’t listen to this without reflecting on what became of GNR in the years and decades after. We’re still kind of paying attention to these guys 40 years later off the strength of this one album alone, and really just off its three major singles. The rest of their discography is mediocre at best (UYI) and unlistenable at worst (everything else). While it obviously hits for a huge number of people, it just doesn’t do anything for me. Maybe spending my childhood watching the videos on constant MTV rotation desensitized me to their swagger and ferocity, or whatever.

What an album this is. I mean, Paradise City, Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child o Mine, Mr Brownstone, Rocket Queen... This album is almost like a greatest hits album for GnR except actually every song is actually just on one album. This is an album that doesn't elicit much feeling in me, but that's mostly because I've heard every song so many damn times that I've grown... detached from the experience. There's a reason you might be sick to death of hearing this album, it's pervasive. It's everywhere. And it has invaded just about every facet of pop culture. GnR just hit the perfect sweet spot with this album. It's heavy, but not so heavy it's unpalatable for the masses. It's not super deep, but neither is is entirely dull. It's like the McDonald's of hard rock. GnR is probably not your favourite rock band, but if they come up in a playlist you're probably going to rock out anyway. Axel Rose and Slash are absolute icons. My pick: Paradise City.

Algunas canciones me gustan bastante, pese a no ser mi estilo. Les penaliza ser hombres y cantar en inglés que me tiene un poco harta.

No es mi estilo, hay laguna canción que me gusta bastante pero les penaliza ser hombres y el inglés, que me tienen cansada.

Enjoyed- iconic album but I just can’t deal with the voice… so I don’t think any of it will be making my playlist… Sunday 23/11

Singles are bangers, rest is boring

Not everything ages very well, but there's still a shocking amount of great tracks on this.

3.5 pretty good

Phenomenal guitar work.

I had to skip some songs half way after I couldn't stand anymore. I can't stand that voice and the squealy guitar.

Great album. All songs are good but paradise city and sweet child of mine definitely stand out above the rest. Very nice to listen to while you're busy. Hot take: paradise city is the best song on the album. (But maybe I'm biased because I really liked Burnout Paradise)

That was a really fun and nostalgic listen, really great album. Such iconic songs and what a start with Welcome to the Jungle. Favourite song is definitely Sweet Child O Mine, the guitar riffs are so good. Listening to the album it made me wonder how I would listen to this album if it wasn’t so iconic and if I didn’t know it already (impossible to find out of course), I wonder if I would actually like it. I feel like because it is such a classic I really listen to it differently, it also doesn’t really sound like hard rock/metal to me but just much more like classic pop music. Anyway, really enjoyed it!

One of the greatest debut albums of all time. Awesome album to listen to on the highway. Slash and Axl Rose are a legendary duo

Rv/g

Probably overexposed to this from that era and the constant reuse of tracks on sports broadcasts and so on It holds up better than most American metal from this period. But that’s not saying much. Between 3 and 4. The overexposure drops it

Guns n' Roses have a sound that is very much tied to the time and place of 80's rock. Sleazy, swaggering, dirty - and yet the production is polished and the band are tight. It is dated, but can be enjoyed like a time capsule that has captured a world where swigging JD, smoking cigarettes and thrusting hips in Spandex is still cool. This is bar brawl music for an 80s American dive bar - but still fun whilst sitting at my desk job at 7am in the South of England. Also, addressing the misogyny; yes, misogyny is bad and should not be condoned, but this is a GnR record: You don't watch a documentary about Jeff Dahmer and complain theres too much murder. Only songs I would have left out here are the last two which offer nothing the other tracks all do twice as well. Regardless, It's probably a light 4 for this one.

An all time hard rock album. Not exactly a groundbreaking take, but Slash is incredible on this album. He does a great job getting right up to the line of overindulgence on his solos without going over it, my only knock is he inspired a generation of less talented guitarists to obliterate that line but that’s not on him.

4.5 Some burners on here for sure, Night train got me going. This was a regular growing up but I guess through this exercise it lets us listen a bit more closely and compare directly to some great albums. That being said, I always thought Slash was just a bit of noodler who was maybe a bit overrated, but that is not the case. This is an all-time guitar album. Slash lays some pretty catchy lines/riffs throughout (and not just in the solos). I wish it were a tab higher in the mix. And if I never hear Paradise city again, that would be perfectly fine

в основном - минус вайб.

Reviewing an album 38 years after its release when you also listened to it on release is always a little dicey. It's a little more challenging for me to be objective when nostalgia is in play. In this case, I think much the same as I did in 1988: Lots of really catchy hooks (the opening riff of Welcome to the Jungle remains a classic), but too much of the rest of the song (and most of the remaining tracks) just sort of taper off.

It's interesting to hear this as I get older, and to realize all of the bands they are paying tribute to in their songs. As a kid I wouldn't have picked up elements of the Rolling Stones,. Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, AC/DC etc. in there without a musicologist feeding them to me in an earpiece. Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City and Sweet Child o' Mine are timeless hits for a reason and each one showcases all of the band's many tricks on display, including earworm riffs and melodies, expert level singing & guitar playing, a huge pile of ridiculous swagger mixed with just the right dash of emotional schmaltz.

It’s the greatest debut album of all time, it’s AFD, of course it’s 5*. Haters will say that it’s not a no skip album, but it’s simply not true. The album keeps pace start to finish with varying grooves and riffs that all feel quite breathless and voiced with the excitement and life of a group who’ve just collectively discovered they have potential. Without this album there’s no Generation Terrorist, and by degrees set the groundwork for grunge, and so it’s invaluable in my eyes. 5/5 Best Song: Welcome To The Jungle/Rocket Queen

I would like to start this review my saying fuck Breandan White and fuck Liam McConnachie. It's a great album, an amazing album even, but I don't think its a perfect album. It has the greatest opener of all time maybe, and there are so many highlights but a few lulls as well... Nightrain/ Anything Goes/ You're Crazy i think hold this back from full marks. Which unfortunately means it is not the greatest debut of all time. CASE CLOSED. Best track: Paradise City

Iconic, never need to hear it again.

No doubt this was an influential album in the early 1990s - an unbelievable number of hits made even more remarkable as a debut. A few songs still soar even after heavy air play across almost 4 decades. And a few songs still miss. Mr. Brownstone and My Michelle remain favorites. It’s honestly a 3 in my view - it’s not something I’d normally put on or listen through completely. But I’ll give it a 4 given its cultural influence and impact - I mean Jungle is still played at sporting events after all this time. 4/5

Some hits, but two solo's a song? I'm glad Kurt killed it off.

Turns out I can't stand Axle Rose's voice when I have to listen to this much of it! Guitars sound fine, but nothing special, I guess I could see how this would be mind-blowing to a burgeoning metalhead the way "Radio Free Europe" was for my development as an indie nerd? Also sort-of shoutout to "Mr. Brownstone" for, at least in part, inspiring the lyrics to Mary Lou Lord's classic "Some Jingle-Jangle Morning (When I'm Straight)"

Tsk er ikke så vild med Guns n’ roses. Undtagen sweet child o mine, brings me back til hotel på Tenerife hvor den blev spillet dag og ud og dag ind😍

Axel rose har en fed stemme, men det blir meget repetitivt hurtigt. Troede dog jeg ville hade det mere, fun riffs

His voice becomes a lot after a few songs. Only a fan of the hits and they've been overplayed.

I mean what more could you want from a rock album? Great riffs, strong vocals, and memorable tracks that will never die. This album has aged like wine. I haven't listened to the album in its entirety before, but I have heard quite a few of the tracks before. They get better and better with every listen. A truly fantastic album that I feel like any generation of rock fans could enjoy.

An excellent, enjoyable album.

Doesn't move me. However, a group I know did Sweet Child as a barbershop arrangement, which was hilarious.

Barely bareable if you manage to ignore the vocals.

As far as arena rock goes, there isn’t a more perfect example than this. So many hits on this album, but I can’t quite give it a perfect score due to the cringey edginess, and Axl Rose’s voice is a little tough to listen to for a full hour. Best Track: Sweet Child O’ Mine

Not my cup of tea though there are some iconic songs on here

I realized this morning that as familiar as I am with this album, I've never actually listened to it front to back. Glad to report that this album is much more than its hits! Sure the hits are overplayed but they are massive for a reason. A fun and infectious slab of hard rock and a great album to get on a Friday. Another easy 5/5 for me!

This, to me, feels like the epitome of 1001 albums for someone (like me) without an entirely proper musical education. You learn about the bangahs!

#1 Classic for a reason. Bright guitar riffs.

Easy 5, I checked, and I know every single song of this album and don't even need to listen to this thing. Hard rock classic and one of the greatest rock debuts of all time, no doubt. However, G'nR leaves much to be desired besides this.

Classic

starting an album with welcome to the jungle is just too good. I did not really like It's So Easy, but Nightrain is pretty good. Out Ta Get Me and Mr. Brownstone were forgettable. Paradise City is a classic, of course. My Michelle also rocks and is not one you hear often.

Save for the hits, "Welcome to the Jungle", "Paradise City", "Sweet Child O' Mine", this album is kinda garbage.

The obvious tracks are all time classics. The rest is kind of forgettable. Axl’s voice grates after a while. I don’t think the production does the material a lot of favors, makes the non hits sound a bit muddy somehow. Mid

So many hits but I can't stand them

I’m just so tired of this guy’s voice and sweet child o mine. Apart from that, music wise this stuff rocks though, composition is fire and rightfully so quite some songs are absolute hits.

Overrated

Clásico. No atemporal. Pero clásico total. Hace años era un 10/10. Hoy escuchándolo un poco más lo siento algo repetitivo en cuanto a la fórmula de las canciones. Igual es una bomba. 9/10

Iconic, fun, ridiculous and very much of its time. Basically a microcosm of the 80’s.

It's a 3.5 rounded up. It's a pretty silly album. I think further listens would probably lower the score for me, but it was sort of fun as a one off.

Ferocious

I do think think it's a bit overrated generally but can't deny there's a few classics

I loathe the fact that modern rock radio, in my region, feels the need to continue playing the songs from this album everyday. There is also no denying these songs were huge in their day either.

Un clásico. A tener en tu colección. No tiene desperdicio

Heard it before! Also during my classic rock phase in hs. Didn’t really age well for me though but still a solid album.

Pretty good album, but a lot of butt-rock too.

GOAT

Bei dieser Band (und dieser Platte) muss ich mich mal gegen die Schwarmintelligenz stellen. Wie das manchmal so ist: für mich auf den ersten Blick und Ton eine extrem unsympathische Band. Bon Jovi für Drogenabhängige. Natürlich für "Classic Rock" Sender unverzichtbar. Und leider hilft in diesem Fall auch keine Altersmilde bei mir. Wenn ich Guns.N.Roses oder Phil Collins im Radio höre hilft nur: umschalten :-D

Certains classiques. Pas mon pref

Culte, je l'avais poncé en post bac cet album

Franchement, j’ai pris beaucoup de plaisir ! C’était chouette ! Avec des classiques !

Encore du rock quoi, boring 2/5

An album that, despite its occasional 'iconic' track, fails to impress. It's so easy is a domestic abuse anthem? I'm mad at this album for making me question if I even like classic rock.

can't stand guns n roses. the album is so boring

Three or four incredible songs and then what sounds like the same song repeated 8 times.

Every single song on this album is a banger. I bet I listened to this cassette 1,000x in high school. I know it note for note. One of the best albums of all time in my opinion.

Simply the perfect rock album - teenage me enjoyed this one.

3 great songs and meh

One of the paramount albums of my youth. This album wailed back in the late 80's and it still does today. Absolutely love this album and glad to hear it ring so powerfully today as it did the first time I cranked it up on cassette tape.

3 stars alone for starting with welcome to the jungle. Kept that high energy through the entire album. Pretty solid, certified dad rock classic.

I’ve personally had a tumultuous relationship with G N’ R. I feel like pop culture has made me revere them for this particular album that shifted the paradigm of popular music at a time when most of our rock bands were dressing like women and singing ballads. But Guns, at their core, are a hair metal band. And appetite for destruction is a continuation of that genre but with less makeup. Some great songs but I’ve personally checked out on this band long ago.

First half gets a 5. I started getting bored with “Think About You”. But there are so many good songs on there. It brought back reckless memories, as I'm sure it does with many across the world.

the only thing soft is that luscious well-conditionwd flowing hair

It’s a classic for a reason, and Paradise City is highly recommended for a reason (10/10 song). It’s just good! Granted, not every song is great (but still good, many 7/10s) - I only REALLY liked Welcome to the Jungle (7.5/10), It’s so Easy (8/10), Sweet Child O Mine (8.5/10), and Rocket Queen (9.5/10). Overall 9/10.

Some classics, mostly meh, not much of an impression left. Liked “My Michelle” - good energy behind. Rest of album comes into it’s own from here… patient listener is rewarded with this one. Sweet child of mine always a winner! This was my intro to “rock music”.

classic

01) Welcome to the Jungle - 10,0 02) It's So Easy - 7,5 03) Nightrain - 7,5 04) Out ta Get Me - 7,0 05) Mr. Brownstone - 7,5 06) Paradise City - 10,0 07) My Michelle - 8,0 08) Think About You - 7,0 09) Sweet Child o' Mine - 10,0 10) You're Crazy - 7,0 11) Anything Goes - 7,5 12) Rocket Queen - 7,0 TOTAL: 8,00 (80/100) Current ranking: 209/723

Three absolute classics is impressive for a debut album

This one hit the stratosphere, with a couple of bombs that cement the crew into legendary rock god status. What a shit show, but it worked for a while, and most of these studs are still alive and picking. And then there’s Tracii Guns, who formed the band that carries his name, only to leave it before recording a note. Luck for the band. Not so lucky for Guns. Never really carried much for hair metal and leather pant, but I can see the appeal.

Wow really getting the dogshit hard rock stuff back to back. This is a little better than Bon Jovi, but not by a lot to be honest. Terrible singer, he might be the worst ever, he's just ripping of Robert Plant, and not the good bits. I somewhat respect slash, although I don't care for this guitar style. They also probably were horrible people (from some of these lyrics). Yeah just totally rubbish. Favouirte songs: welcome to the jungle (I love the opening riff but its ruined by shit vocals and total shift to the verses. Overall around 3/10

Tbh feel like I’ve kind of lost my taste for this one

peak shitty dad rock (although have a soft spot for Sweet Child of Mine)

The pre-Buckethead era of Guns'n'Roses leaves a lot to be desired, but makes for a banging soundtrack to Axl Rose's Legal Issues wiki section. Might have to play it twice to get to the end tho.

not my vibe but they boys are doing a great job

One of my favorite albums of all time. Real hard rock at a time when this kind of music was turning into glam rock. Incredible songs, riffs, and solos. For my money, Slash is the star of this band. More or less every song is straight up awesome. I think I was about 12 when this came out, so needless to say that influenced my deep abiding love for this album.

Really good rock music. Love the intensity. Besides the megahits, a couple highlights were Out Ta Get Me and You’re Crazy.

BANGERRRRR Just straight fire all the way through Favorite Track: welcome to the jungle (shoutout AP lang)

Respect. First album with tons of hits. I remember when this came out. I was with my boyfriend (then fiancé then husband then ex-husband now dead). He and I loved REM and discovered other alternative music drifts. His roomies were listening to this. I scoffed at the time but it grew on me in the course of my life. Yep. It’s classic.

Incredibly fun, uncompromising & great songwriting. It still sounds fresh in 2025.

The was the soundtrack of my 1988. GNR used to be my favorite band, to the point where I almost had this album cover tattooed on me. I'm glad I didn't, but I'll probably always have a soft spot for this one regardless. I don't know how I would rate this without the history.

I think this album is a little overrated. There are 3 great songs and the rest is pretty forgettable.

The 2 Stars are for Welcome To The Jungle and Paradise City. I don't like Axl Rose's voice at all, and Sweet Child Of Mine bugs me. The rest of the tracks I felt nothing for.

Some big hits here. And a tight band that swings.

I don’t like this genre, but I think this is a good example of it. The band is super tight, and the hits hold up. But the deeper cuts don’t.

Pas mon style

Finally music I didn't dread. Axl Rose and company rocking out... Classics: Sweet Child O' Mine and Welcome to the Jungle. GNR is one of my fave hard rock bands. Listened before? Y Saved any tracks? Y Favorite tracks? Sweet Child O'Mine ⭐⭐⭐⭐: Liked it. Saved some tracks.

A few good singles, but the rest sounds the same. Good riffs, meh lyrics. I did have Radiohead twice this week, so at least it wasn't more of that. Listened before? N Saved to library? N Favorite track(s): Welcome To The Jungle, Paradise City, Sweet Child O' Mine ⭐⭐⭐: Liked it. Saved some tracks.

classic.

Je pensais adoré, mais en réalité j'ai été un peu déçu, je crois que je suis pas vraiment fan du style

connais pas

Un banger tout simplement

Solid album, based ——————————— Liked: — Welcome To The Jungle — It's So Easy — Out Ta Get Me — Think About You

Not my thing. Sounds one dimensional.

Puke.

Good

I don't like the genre, and AC/DC did it better anyway, but this album is so much better than the previous 5 albums on this list that I’m giving it a 2.

Wasn't expecting such a big album to hit my list this morning. I've heard Sweet Child O Mine and Welcome to the Jungle so much that they're just tuned out at this point, but I can happily comment on a few of the other tunes I wasn't familiar with. I'd already heard Paradise City and Mr Brownstone aaaaand I think another one, but the others were actually pretty interest and not notable low points of the album. Axl is so interesting, Slash is an excellent guitarist, just an all round good album

No.

Absolute classic album of bangers

3 great songs (the ones we know). But damn, the rest? Never care to listen through again - sex noises on a rock album are just embarrassing 🙈.

Three hit songs and many boring others.

Boring and over rated.

What an insane debut

Five stars for Mr Slash

Hate to say this but this is another case where one or two great songs don't make a great album. Sweet Child O' Mine is a brilliant track, love it, but other than that I could leave the rest... This gets a lot of praise as an amazing debut but it's more that it's got a good set of singles IMO.

My teen years in album form

Start your motorcycles gents and prepare your worn once leather jackets for a trip to your summer home. That’s right folks, we’re getting some boomer rock hooked right to our veins. Although this came out in 87??? Jesus some of the death metal I like is older than this. Damn. Maybe it is I who is the “old head.” The “unc” as the terminally online white kids have taken to saying. Whatever. This is an impactful album, but I can’t anticipate I’ll be all that happy about it. Welcome to the Jungle - Was this song ever an alarm for me?? Oh god I used to wake up to classic rock radio when I was a child (no I wasn’t popular, thanks for asking.) is there a rhythm section here? It sounds hollow. This song has always been the best Guns N’ Roses song, but it still contains insufferable vocals replete with obnoxious faux moaning and runs that nobody asked for. I will say, the whole “You’re gonna die” breakdown is pretty sick. A flawed song that I would never choose, but overall, a classic in its way. It’s So Easy - This sounds like the overly sexual rock that Nickelback tried to force in the early 2000’s and now “kink-positive” predators perform on instagram. The type of music that shows up in my irony laden reels. Nightrain - Isn’t this “Night Rain?” He keeps talking about rail transport but there is only one T. His snakeskin suitcase reminds me of that terrible undertaker promo where he says The Big Show went into the desert with a motorcycle and no gas and came back carrying the motorcycle and he also killed a snake and fashioned a new set of boots out of said snake. It was pretty funny. Out Ta Get Me - Alright, the riff here is pretty good. I don’t even think we’ve made any references to a “little mama.” Mr. Brownstone - I don my stocking cap and wearily carry my candle towards my chambers. Another day atop this lonely cape in this infernal lighthouse. The warmth of my bed envelopes me and is my vessel. A cure for the most insidious insomnia. Or was that this song? Whichever. Paradise City - Synths??? YOU SOLD OUT YOU SOLD OUT. This song was cool as hell when I was 11. By 12, I was a little embarrassed that I had enjoyed it. But here we are. Pushing 30 and sitting here listening to this. My Michelle - Oh no. I’m not looking forward to this. Hard riffs until the chorus which sounds like a song written for the end credits of a Christmas themed pornography. Think About You - UGHHHHHHHH. Nope. This ain’t good. Sweet Child O’ Mine - Oh goodness gracious child. ‘Tis another fine morn on the Emerald Isle. We here in the O’ Mine clan reject this song in its totality. You’re Crazy - Stop gaslighting me. See, I know what that means!! I’m not THAT old! Anything Goes - Nope. Oh Jesus this is disgusting. Why do people want to listen to this? I mean, if a see why it wasn’t a radio hit being introduced by Casey Kasem on the radio, but my lord this is embarrassing. You need to add (as long as my prescription comes in) for the target audience of this garbage. Rocket Queen - Really gross x2 I like to make fun of stuff, but it gets a little bit mean at some point. I feel like I’m punching down. If I imagine the worst peaked in the 80’s, grown up high school bully who thinks of women as accessories to his jet ski rock and roll fantasies, yeah this album makes me want to commit homicide. BUT, there is a cool riff here and there on this thing and I know decent people who like this kind of shit. Glam rock has definitely sounded WAY worse. Still. I don’t care for this. No amount of leather could make me feel otherwise. 2 HIGHLIGHTS: Welcome to the Jungle, Out Ta Get Me

- Heavy metal/hard rock album - Fun, upbeat, head-banging album - Nothing particularly stood out to me
