Pretty good, although many songs sounded the same

Früher gehasst, heute gerne gehört. Mehr 80‘ Rock als Metal

Classic album. I’m just over it.

Okay

listened to again the album isn't incredible overall, but there's so many memorable hits tho

lovely

I wasn’t expecting much from this, and I was pleasantly surprised. In reality it’s just ok, but it has fun energy, and memorable tracks. More of a guilty pleasure. Cool!

Un 4, pero porque tiene Sweet Child Of Mine.

if I hear "paradise city" one more time... but in all seriousness, I think the overplayedness of three of the tracks really took me out of it because I'd heard them all the time, especially growing up with my dad in charge of the AUX. other than that, "my Michelle" is a bop, and slash is a musical genius.

Loved this as a kid. Straightforward hard rock with a ton of hits. Nothing groundbreaking, but great at what it does.

Yup I have this one, classic album ofc. Always liked no 2 and 12 apart from the obvious hits.

In the 80s I played this over and over. Now I still love several songs but don't enjoy the album as a whole enough for full marks.

i am *really* not a hair metal girlie but there was a lot to like in here. except for the outro i can’t stand sweet child of mine. overplayed. welcome to the jungle will always be my nostalgia baby though.

I’ve been meaning to check out Appetite for Destruction and I can’t really say I was disappointed. A grand, fun rock record with some brilliant riffs and addictive tunes. On the most part I’m also a fan of Axl Rose’s vocal performances minus some tracks. Don’t get me wrong I don’t think this is exactly a revolutionary rock record like some people do and the last few tracks are pretty plain (wtf are them sex noises on Rocket Queen?!?!?) , but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t really enjoy listening to this record. RATING: 7.7/10

30th August 2023 Listened during the day - took Dusty to be registered, first bath and had tomari g. Some stone cold classics elevate an otherwise pedestrian album. But what classics, the song crafting is great.

Rocks. As one of the most iconic rock albums, it still holds up after over 30 years.

Alfa Slash guitar. My Michelle is the best song. “Take me down to the Paradise City Where the girl are fat and they got big titties”

alfa it's so EZ giving this a 4

The hits are great, some of the others felt like filler songs.

They became famous despite having Axl Rose as their singer. This album was one of the first I bought as a kid, so I played it a lot. Over the years it's moved to the bottom of the stack and I hadn't played it for years until now. I didn't remember all the songs. That means not all of them are great. About half of the record is awesome, the other half is just OK. Favorite song: Welcome to the Jungle.

Some solid classics in there. All-around good album.

very very nostalgic, such a good album, even tho it doesn’t fit my style

Decent

Thought about half were forgettable and half were all time classics. Great debut album. Rating: 4.3

guitar hero music. I feel like I lived through the era where this album reclaimed its final large part of cultural significance. Its impact on middle school boys and boomer dads alike is unheard of. jammed with classics but a couple forgettable tracks, none bad though.

Obviously a classic but some of the lyrics have NOT aged well. Despite that, the gritty guitar riffs hit hard and will hype you up as long as you don't pay attention too much to the lyrics.

4.5 pretty epic!

timeless, does anyone not like this?

Wasn't expecting to like it as much as i'm doing rn!

Really solid acdc esque

I thought would love it: honestly slightly underwhelmed by an album with so many (3) hits. I just thought that all the other songs would hold more meaning and creativity to them. I get many would call this a banging debut from the holy grail of rock bands but I was left with a feeling of slight confusion on where the hype was.

GNR are an overrated band but it’s difficult to deny the significance of this record, a debut no less. Lots of bangers that still hold up to this day.

good old LA sleazy street rock

One of the biggest rock bands of the 80’s-90’s. I am familiar with the biggest hits of this album but I never listened to the whole thing. Overall the non-famous songs were good to ok. Axl Rose is a cunt.

GnR still Rick. There's a reason this album was such a big hit. There are 3 perfect songs and every other one is a 8 or 9 out of 10.

Hard rock/heavy metal lektira 1. 5 2. 5 3. 4 4. 3 5. 3 6. 5 7. 3 8. 4 9. 6 10. 3 11. 4 12. 5 4, 17

wow, did guns n' roses go hard on their first full length album or what? they opened with "welcome to the jungle," which is a banger of an opener and is still so great after all these years. this album does contain three of their biggest hits, and in these kinds of situations with previous albums, the other songs typically are lackluster. that didn't happen here--gnr went all the way, even on sentimental tracks like "think about you." i say sentimental, but you know what i mean. even songs that aren't hits, like "mr. brownstone," are absolute bangers. appetite for destruction (an amazing album title if i ever heard it) was a fun album, plain and simple. it didn't invite deep discussion like bob dylan or leonard cohen's music does, but it's enjoyable, as music should be. 3.5

Damn, what an outstanding debut album. It's hard to believe that a band could churn out such absolute timeless jams as "Welcome to the Jungle", "Sweet Child O' Mine", and "Paradise City" all on their first album, but Guns n' Roses did it. The other songs on the album, though not as big of hits, are also consistently excellent. GNR is just one of those bands that had a winning formula from the beginning. This isn't a particularly "deep" album; it's just fun music!

I'm not the biggest Guns N' Roses fan, but the amazing thing about this record is how they burst forth fully formed right from the start. Some bands start out tentative and take off over time. Some bands have a great first record and evolve. GNR is definitively already an iconic band on track 1, side 1 of their first album. It's pretty remarkable.

love it. quintessential rock, made me look into their history more, and not sure what to think of axl rose (axl rose husband, is the only thing I am thinking), great tunes, and insane debut album. but sweet child is just so overplayed. every cool kid plays that shit over and over again. still great song tho so...

A bit of a reaction to the bland, "good vibes" hard rock of the era. This is a mix of gritty and dark lyrics with music to match. Axl's vocal range is the stuff of legends. Sounds a bit too much like Aerosmith, too often for my tastes, and the lyrics haven't dated well (unless you still enjoy heavy doses of misogyny). Still, it's a groundbreaking record and the band probably would have been even bigger than they were if it weren't for another music scene ready to redefine the genre on the short horizon.

This album is pretty darn good. Had some nice recognizable hits on it. Was fun to listen to. Here are my individual song reviews... Welcome to the Jungle (8/10): Such a banger. The Axl Rose moans are classic. It's So Easy (6/10): Sounds like a Guns N Roses song, but didn't have anything special to set it apart. Pretty solid but only slightly above average. Nightrain (7.5/10): I liked the feel of this song. It was pretty upbeat and felt like more of a feel-good song. Out Ta Get Me (5.5/10): Decent feel, didn't really stick with me in any way. Mr. Brownstone (5.5/10): I believe this song is about some sort of drugs, so I can't really say I relate. Had a nice sound to it though. Paradise City (9/10): TAKE ME HOMEE absolutely love this song. My Michelle (6.5/10): I got into this one a little bit, I didn't really expect to. Pretty decent. Think About You (7.5/10): I never heard this one before, I really thought it was kinda good actually. Sweet Child O' Mine (8.5/10): OK yeah this one is a little overplayed but still a beautiful song. The riff on this one is a classic. You're Crazy (8/10): This one had me up and dancing! Did not expect this so be such a banger. Anything Goes (7/10): I liked it! Not out of this world or anything but it was a good song. Rocket Queen (7/10): Great song!

contains certified classics

Haven't listened to this whole album in ages but it's a classic. Bangers all the way through. On Out Ta Get Me right now, and it hasn't slowed down once yet. A little bit AC/DC-ish in the bit of sameness from song to song, but man do GnR know how to execute. And a good reminder of why I always loved Slash as a guitar player. Yep, excellent album. Classic, loud, in your face rock music. Awesome guitar work, and tons of attitude. Glad to have a reason to revisit this one.

Listened to it many times. It's a classic but not what I'm into anymore. That bad boy excess lifestyle rock is old news but not in a retro way.

For a first album to have so many hits that still play 40 years later is impressive.

I have never listened to a Guns’n’Roses album before. Pity. This was a real surprise. I don’t know quite what I expected, but above all, this is just really good rock’n’roll. I have a couple of their singles, including Sweet Child O’ Mine, which I always liked. And like anyone who was alive at the time, I was familiar with Paradise City, which I also liked. But there’s so much here that I really enjoy - the opening 2 tracks set a fierce pace &, really, it just rocks all the way. Slash is terrific. The music never gets boring. Who knew? Not me.

Man, I really want to hate this album... but it is a catchy hard rock romp. I mean, it's objectively terrible, but far and away best in class, and sort of fun. Marc Burrows in Drowned in Sound writes (in 2018): "There are several moments during Guns N’ Roses recent Download Festival appearance where the phrase ’The Most Dangerous Band In The World‘ pops into your head. Not because it’s apt, but because it’s hard to square that much-touted tagline with what you’re seeing – a three-hour plus set overblown with classic rock covers, fronted by a rock n’ roll Liberace, rings dripping from his fingers, fringed jackets swapped every three songs. But every once in a while, just for a few seconds, the polished surface cracks and you get a glimpse of the exhilarating scum underneath. A reminder of the band this once was. Every time that happens, without fail, it’s during a song from Appetite For Destruction. When GN’R crawled out of Hollywood in the mid Eighties they were fucking feral. Penniless gutter rats, three of them strung out on smack, all of them boozehounds, all of them messed up in some way. In LA’s thriving glam scene, amid the pretty-boys of Poison, Mötley Crüe, Ratt and Great White, GN’R were from another, scuzzier planet. … From the very beginning GN’R were a rare real-deal in rock n’ roll. A perfect storm of punk, metal and sleaze-rock with an unexpected sideline in epic ballads… Appetite for Destruction, their three-decade-old debut was the perfect representation of that band. You can taste the scum. " This reminds me of Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous (a clear influence). They have an amazing rock'n'roll outlaw swagger (that they backed up with some real life bad behaviour), but does anyone REALLY believe they are all that dangerous? And I never really bought the 'punk influences'; I mean, they covered a bunch of punk songs over their career, but their sound is consistently hard rock/lite metal. The rhythm section has a lot more swing than most bands of the genre, which I appreciate. Big choruses, catchy riffs, high energy and bit more authentic rock attitude than most of their contemporaries, this is an album I secretly enjoy. They later self-inflated into a bloated pomp-rock behemoth, which was occasionally amusing, but usually best ignored. But here, they are lean and mean, and (somewhat) dangerous to know.

Difficult to give this album a rating. One part of me wants to give it a 2 and complain about how I've heard these damn songs on the radio for 30 years. How Axle can't sing, and it's garbage music. But then I hear Sweet Child O' Mine and something tells me to give this album a 5. How they managed to fit all these bangers on their debut album is really incredible. So I transport myself back to 6th grade, and think how I felt hearing Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City. They captured lightning in a bottle on this album.

Maybe i'm a little bias because I grew up with a lot of these songs, but this album was a great listen from front to back, even if it did sound a bit similar at times, it kept me engaged and felt shorter than its runtime, which usually is a good thing, and it definitely was in this case. The classic hits still hit just as hard as they always did, such as Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, and Sweet Child O' Mine, timeless cuts like those never lose flavor. And even deep cuts such as It's So Easy, Nightrain, and Rocket Queen stuck with me after the full listen of this album. Overall, a very pleasing listen and definitely a staple album in the genre (despite me not being familiar with the genre itself, this surely has to have some mark or staple on it, surely.)

I was really expecting this one to be the hits and a bunch of crap but it was actually a really good and energetic listen

Just pure bangers

Reminds me of university. I can hear how professional it is, still not sure how much I like this version of rock.

Full of classics. The high points are bangers, the mid points, are, well, mid. Kind of surprised they were actually able to catch lightning in a bottle 3 times on a single album. Never listened to any of their other albums (specifically that double album, of which the name is eluding me), so it's hard to do a relative comparison. Honestly a 4 just on the strength and reach of its hits, with some nice surprises tucked in between. Standouts: Welcome To The Jungle, Nightrain, Paradise City, Think About You, Sweet Child O' Mine

I didn't much care for GnR at the time - too much cock rock, not enough metal - but I can definitely appreciate this album these days. Plus, the big singles make great karaoke tunes! Fave track - "Paradise City" and "Sweet Child O Mine" both have lots of fond memories of whole rooms fulla people screaming along!

Yes, it's classic, but the best song is the one their surprisingly die-hard fans hate the most (with possible exception of "Patience"). What does that tell us? One thinks they should also be held to account for making so many people hate rock music and charge many fans and critics with being rockist.

I was never a fan of this band. Except some singles I couldn't care that much for them. Now I listened to my first Guns N' Roses album and I was positively surprised. There is some direct approach that is quite refreshing. It works all very well together, especially the guitars in contrast to Axl Rose's voice. Am I going to listen to more albums? Probably not. But it was a nice detour nonethless.

Very soldier like, feels like it was written around war

welcoe to the jungle

Nothing insane. Just a really solid rock album. Some absolute classics on it like Sweet Child O' Mine and Paradise City but the track between those highs were generally uninspiring. Not bad but nothing revolutionary and some of them sounded a little cookie cutter. Still solid enough to be an 8/10 but there isn't much to say about thins album besides that.

Á þessu átti ég innilega ekki von, þetta er dúndurplata. Hef ekki hlustað í áratugi, en hún eldist afar vel. Filler inn á milli en aldrei leiðinlegt og sumt er bara verulega töff, og skemmtilegt.

4.5 stars. Some amazing songs

Pretty good. It’s got their 3 best songs on it. The rest is decent too. 8.5/10.

Classic. Loved it back then, still love it now.

Great hits, not my favorite after that

Full of classiiiicsss

2023/03/02

The album was the bridge from hair metal to grunge for the mainstream.

While sprinkled with iconic hits this album otherwise felt a little more hair-metal at times than I was anticipating. The vocals are impressive for hard rock/metal. Lyrics don't hold back from the "sex, drugs, rock & roll" theme and the guitar solos are prominent throughout, most highly featured in intro to the standout "Sweet Child O' Mine." Other hits are "Welcome To The Jungle" and "Paradise City."

I was familiar with a lot of these songs although I had not listened to the entire album previously. The album has some absolute hits. I did not know this was their debut album. They really knocked it out of the park. I dont know if I want to listen to the entire album again. I enjoyed it, but there are some songs that were just ok. It could have also been a little shorter.

You cannot deny that "Welcome To The Jungle," however overplayed, is one of the greatest openings for an album ever. The first minute of that song is so iconic, building and building to a musical explosion. Would I call this a perfect album? Not by a longshot. But that first track really gets everything going and sets the table for what is coming up. There are a few songs where you feel the explicit lyrics are there jus to shock, and not for the song itself. Reminds me a bit of the Sex Pistols in that way (but they definitely are way more skilled than them). This is Axl Rose in his prime, a force to be reckoned with. Slash's guitar work... wow. Sure, there are three songs on here that you probably never want to hear again because they were played all the time on the radio. But there's a reason for that. They're well-crafted rawk songs. (Yes, that is the correct spelling for them, definite stadium crowd-pleasers.) The other songs are... okay. Again, a few have Axl sewaring because oooooh, look how edgy he is. Still, everyone is firing on all cylinders on pretty much every song. And as much as I want to pick these songs apart, they are really well-done.

“You know where you are? You’re in the Jungle now baby, You’re gonna dieeeee!” Fourteen-year-old me loved this album. It was (and still is) quite a rocker. I haven’t listened to it in decades, probably because I had the misfortune of seeing them live when they were opening for Metallica during their Black Album tour. They were awful live. Back to the album though. The tracks I remember enjoying most were still pretty cool. Side one is solid throughout with the standout tracks “Welcome to the Jungle”, “Mr. Brownstone”, and “Paradise City”. Side two though is quite forgettable except for the standout “Sweet Child of Mine” which has one of those classic guitar riffs that almost anyone who played guitar during that time tried to learn. I’m not sure if it deserves it but for me this is personally a 4-star album. Partly due to the memories attached to it and partly to the good songwriting on the solid tracks.

Let's start with the obvious - Axl Rose is a trainwreck. The lyrics are disturbing and no one should ever try to imitate the lifestyle they model. But man this album kicks ass. It was a kick in the teeth when it came out and is still a pretty strong album. Welcome to the Jungle is an awesome song right from those iconic first notes. Slash is on fire throughout the album. Paradise City and Sweet Child O' Mine were overplayed ad nauseum but are both great songs. I have to give it a 4 for two reasons: One, I just can't give a 5 to their lyrics (even though let's face it that's part of what gives GNR their edge) and two, the non-hits are pretty cliche 80s hard rock songs (e.g., It's So Easy, Night Train), even if they rock harder than most.

Okay, here we go! I think this is the first time I've listened to a complete Gn'R album; my relationship with the band has always been complicated. For starters, they were verboten in my household, by decree of my mother, growing up (joining Snoop Doggy Dogg, MC Eiht and The Beavis and Butt-Head Experience.) An even bigger factor is likely the fact that I think Axl Rose is an absolute idiot! I also vacillate frequently between whether I love his voice or hate it. 😂 Regardless of my thoughts or feelings on Axl or his voice, he and it suit the music here very well and the music is mostly pretty friggin' awesome. Sleazy as all get out, but awesome. This album feels pretty much exactly how I would picture L.A. in the mid-80s - the real L.A. not the made-for-TV L.A. The violence, the grime, the sex, the drugs and the rock n' roll. I can see why my mother found this so alarming - I'm sure she came to it through extra-glorified media fearmongering too, which also tracks given the era. The album is definitely not without its cringy moments, but all in all, I enjoyed it far more than I expected I would.

Great album

i heard this album 123523434 but ok

As good as I remember, rock and roll at its finest. Great riffing, killer solos, and Axel's unique vocals make this one a win for sure. Even the less popular tracks rock, and the closer is one of my favorites on the album.

5/12, 42%

I still think that Gun N' Roses aren't the best rock band of all time or from the 80's, but ill give them credit and say some of the stuff here ain't all bad, but I don't think I would still place them in my own top bands of all time any time soon.

Classic. I have to admit, there is a filler-ish quality to some of the songs on here. Songs like "Nightrain" or "My Michelle" can border on the boring, although Slash's virtuosity ultimately elevates them to a firm rating of solid. That said, when this album rocks, it rocks like no other. Some of my all-time favourite songs are album openers, and there are few openers as awesome and memorable as 'Welcome to the Jungle'. 'Paradise City' rocks so damn hard, preceded by the not-quite-as-great-but-still-fantastic "Mr. Brownstone". "Sweet Child O' Mine" has long ago joined the rock n' roll pantheon of "songs whose opening riffs are so seminal you're going to get made fun of if you play them in a guitar store." Kudos to the album for not peaking after "Sweet Child", as it immediately kicks back into the high-octane head-banger "You're Crazy" and comes to a respectable close with "Rocket Queen".

So cheesy, so ridiculous, so over the top. Pretty impressive amount of hits for a debut record. Needless to say pretty sick guitars.

Nostalgic, lots of great songs packed in here.

Damn, I really am gonna become THAT uncle; first I enjoy Iron Maiden, and now I think this was pretty good too. I do have a few problems with this album to keep it from that five star, though. First, some songs do tend to blend together, especially in the middle. Axl Rose's voice, while impressive in range, can get a little annoying when he is doing his higher range, and finally Paradise City. Just in general a bad song in my opinion. So, just a pretty good album with some issues, which I suppose is exactly what I expect from late 80's hard rock. Slash's guitar playing is crazy for a (famous) debut such as this. Sure, the hits from this album are annoying now, but it's still crazy the amount of songs from this one album that get that treatment. Even the big boys don't get that

One of those bands where I've only ever heard singles pass by on radio. I could never really get past Axl Rose's singing. But still gonna give this a shot. Musically this is great, the tight rhythm section of Steven Adler and Duff McKagan, killer guitar work by Izzy Stradlin and ofcourse Slash. But yeah, the vocals are a big gripe for me, I just don't dig them. But the songs are enjoyable at most, not a band I would fondly put on time to time, but that's okay. Key tracks for me: Welcome To The Jungle, Nightrain, Mr. Brownstone, Paradise City, Think About You, Sweet Child O' Mine, You're Crazy, Rocket Queen. 7.5 out of 10

Very good, very iconic. It's not really my thing, it's so showy and not very deep. I didn't realize this was their debut, it makes me more impressed - I mean, Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City AND Sweet Child O' Mine on their debut album?? Amazing.

Un 4, pero porque tiene Sweet Child Of Mine.

Love it

There's some awesome tracks on here, that are well-known. Some of it is slightly over-egged testosterone tinged but it's a solid album. Slash rocks.

Catchy rhythm. Cool chords on the guitar. Lyrics kinda cringe.

Welcome to the Jungle is such a great opening song it has been used to open myriad events ever since. Hearing it at the Broncos-Jaguars game at Wembley a couple months ago took me right back home. An uneven album to be sure but the hits shine so bright.

Solide premier album et leur meilleur.

I have heard this record sooooo many times. GnR has never been a favorite of mine. But this record is a great one.

This album starts with an absolute banger of a tune and has some fantastic songs throughout. Just needed a little bit more to be 5 from me but a solid 4. Would be a 4 and half if I could give it.

I wasn't expecting much going in, because I don't think I like this type of music very much, but this was a very solid album, especially for a debut album. Axl Rose's singing range is very impressive. Going from his voice in Welcome To The Jungle to his voice in It's So Easy was jarring, obviously in a good way. I know it's a very mainstream song, but I've always had a soft spot for Sweet Child O' Mine. But, overall, solid album. My favourite songs were It's So Easy and Sweet Child O' Mine.

Je n'ai jamais accroché à Guns N' Roses, probablement parce que je ne suis pas fan d'Axl Rose, mais je me suis vraiment amusée à l'écoute de cet album. Force est d'admettre que leurs chansons sont devenues des classiques pour une raison.

A hard rocking fast fun album. This album has some of their best songs and this is easily their best album. The guitar riffs on this are amazing. The drum work is great. The only thing I dislike is the singers voice sometimes but this is an impressive album when compared to the other ones on this list. 8.2/10

The hits are undeniable bangers but the rest are vulgar and forgettable

This is a pretty good album with some absolute bangers. You can turn it off after sweet child o mine. Bit too many similar fillers.

Classic rock album

Love Sweet Child O' Mine All songs were solid, no others were real memorable but I should probably give it another listen because I did like the vibe and was not listening as close as I should have

This is legitimately a 5 star album but I'm too much of a coward to display it on my account's HIGHEST RATED ALBUMS page.

Outside of the well known songs it's like a parody, I guess the well known ones are as well but they've become archetypes. 4.4 on the strength of 3 songs.

Heard it before?: Not in entirety but of course I’ve heard a few from this one Enjoy it: YES! It’s so unbelievably raw and the talent of each member is endless which all combined leaves you with one of the most important rock albums of all time, enjoyable and timeless Favourite song: so many to choose from but it will be, Track 3 - Nightrain

Great riffs, but completely over the top and overblown. Fun silly classics

Great album! Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Sweet Child of Mine. 4/5

I heard the visuals at Coachella were so sick they made Ryan puke.

Strong 4, this seems timeless

Rock n roll

Welcome to the jungle: cool guitar and very cool opener. Great vocals and let’s you know what your in for. 4/5 It’s so easy: great guitar as per and instrumental but the vocals and idea isn’t amazing. 3/5 Night train: guitar tips and vocals just top it again. Back to the good stuff. 4/5 Out to get me: proper rock music. Great guitar solo and got me feeling some way. Again great does all sound similar but is good. 4/5 Mr brownstone: funky lyrics and funky guiatr but Not as good unfortunately. 3/5 Paradise city: good everything. Good use of a synthesiser. Love this song. Rocking guitar. Gotta be a 5/5 My Michelle: a misleading song at first. It’s good. Love his vocals on this. Possibly best on the whole album. Great lyrics again. Not a fan how fast it gets.3/5 Think about you:starts fast and is just cool. Bit soppy but we’ll forgive it for sounding cool. 3/5 Sweet child o mine: 5/5 Your crazy: a headbanger of a song a very cool song but sounds similar to the two before sweet child o mine. 3/5 Anything goes: a very cool song and just gets me pumped up!!!! 4/5 Rocket queen: another great song and a great way to end the album. I love the way it switched up slightly and the lyrics give an intimate touch. 4/5 Total:4.3/5

rock

Great album

Classico.

Perfect running album.

Classic rock album Loaded with hits One of the best debuts Sound original and hungry

I remember when this came out and how quickly it grew on me. I tried to not like it because I was all about thrash metal back then, but I couldn't help it. For a debut album it sounded fresh edgy and completly rock and roll. They skyrocketed to fame soon after. Rightly so. Not sure they managed to produce anything as gritty as this afterwards though (except perhaps gnr lies)

Les Guns N Roses viennent s'imposer en tant que bande de joyeux gueulards numéro 1 du générateur, pour le plus grand plaisir de nos oreilles. Je tenais à vous mettre en garde contre mon camarade d'écoute roblitière: ce dernier est actuellement en train de se rapprocher de son père par le biais de reviews hypocrites. Ce dernier n'a en effet pas su apprécier à sa juste valeur cet album des Guns N Roses, mais devrait vraisemblablement lui accorder une grosse note afin de séduire son propre père. Cela ne prendra pas, malheureusement pour rob, qui reste la honte musicale de la famille litière.

Great, oldie but goldie, one of the best

Good

Moet altijd aan Bolle (Arjan's broertje) denken, die dit net voordat wij zelf moesten spelen aan het playbacken was in Nijmegen :D Verder natuurlijk een geweldig plaatje, maar objectief gezien is dit gewoon zielige 80s hardrock met een smerige krijsstem, maar daar moet je effe 'doorheen luisteren'.

Vet!!!

Yeah, this is class. Doesn't quite make a 5 because there's a bit of filler in there, but it'd have to be quite bad to stop an album with Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine and Paradise City (my personal favourite) getting a 4. Their ballads are much more hit and miss - My Michelle works but a couple of the others don't really. That said, it's a long album at 53 minutes so does need some variety. Would probably have been better at a tight 40 mins with 3-4 tracks fewer, but even as is it's a comfortable 4. 

Sweet child o mine is the best. Paradise city is iconic because it brings me back to simpler times as a kid. Can't Hardly Wait is the movie I think about. Nighttrain is good and first Guns N Roses album I listened to and Axle Rose's voice is simply unique and amazing.

Well that was bloody splendid. Loud, screamy, brash and with shredding guitar solos.

7/10 Quem nao conhece Guns, fica o dia todo fechado em casa atras de 4 paredes ou é surdo. Qualquer das formas, não oiço muito rock, não é doso meus estilos de música favorito mas este álbum é icónico. Muitas boas memórias que tenho a ouvir estes sons seja videojogos ou com o meu pai, paradise city e sweet child o mine.

重金属音乐

It has been ages since I've listened to this album and it is amazing how great it still sounds. One of the best debut albums from a band ever. Energetic, fun. Only one skip (I Think About You doesn't do it for me) on this classic. It's amazing Axl can even talk any more after his banshee hollering on this album. I love it but it has got to be awful for the vocal chords.

I have heard this album so many times. I had a roommate in college that would literally only play GnR and Smashing Pumpkins. I got real tired of both of them after a full year of it. But it's been a few years since I heard this all the way though. And it's really good. Some mega hits of course, amazing that so many big hits were on a debut album. It may be a while before I listen to it again, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Sweet child o mine es una de mis canciones favoritas del mundo. Todo este álbum me recordó mí adolescencia, un recuerdo agridulce jaja.

As good as this mostly loathsome genre can be. There are some great melodies and a few great tracks, but much that's meh, too and a lot of sameness (both in sound and content) in the harder-edge tracks. "Welcome to the Jungle" is a great opening track, setting the dark and gritty tone and "n. "Sweet Child" is a stone-cold classic, instantly recognizable and seriously addictive – to the extent that one wonders just how much the die-hard fans really hate it for being mirepresentative. The unit seems perhaps over-rehearsed and fused by an intense focus to get it right and be, you know, huge. Later records would show just how delicately balanced this was and probably revealed their true colors.

It’s appetite of destruction

The hits hit hard! The non-hits are cringy are times. Overall, quite enjoyable.

One or two of these at a time are awesome. Not a surprise that his voice gets grating all at once though. By the middle of My Michelle I had to take a break. 3 stars for good headbangin’ rock straight through, and an extra star for the first 45 perfect seconds of Sweet Child alone.

I never realized I hadn’t heard the end of a lot of the songs I knew from this album. “Welcome to the Jungle” is a definite nostalgia trip because that was our intro song for every home football game in high school.

One great album of a genre that I generally despise. There are some undisputed classics on this though, as well as some tasty deep cuts like Nightrain and It's so Easy. But this album has also its fair share of fillers, much more than what I remembered to be honest. The B-side is basically useless, save for the overplayed Sweet Child O' Mine and Rocket Queen. So yeah, it's a classic and it's by far the best Gn'R album, but its impact is greater than its content.

Yeah yeah, it's objectively a good album, but I just can't like it anymore. Please, can I just live the rest of my life without listening to Sweet Child O Mine one more time?

Kind of album you would scream in a karaoke. Remind me the movie rockstar with Mark Wahlberg. Would be nice to listen to it with friends and plan a drinking game. I always wanna laugh when axl rose sing high pitch.

This is one of the best hard rock album ever. I hate it.

The 80s were draped in excess, and no band really indulged quite the way that Guns N' Roses did. For fucks sake, there's a woman being fucked on the bridge of one of these songs ("Rocket Queen"). It can be a bit formulaic (aside from the ballads), but it's still just as adrenaline-surging as always. There's a reason Axl Rose is such a known figure, and why Slash has launched so many kids to check their local Guitar Center. Favorite tracks: "It's So Easy", "Sweet Child O' Mine", "My Michelle", "Nighttrain"

Fun album, high energy throughout.

Solid 80’s rock

I’ve never been a big Guns n Roses or classic rock fan but this album is real good. The standout tracks gotta be Sweet Child O Mine, Paradise City, Welcome to the Jungle, and Out ta Get Me. This is the first album of my list so I look forward to expanding my library and taste

7/10. Maybe even an 8, this had several solid inclusions, and none of the songs were unpleasant to listen to, excepting any sex noises in the background.

Hard to deny the talent of Axl Rose and the ability of the group to make hits. 8/10

Hair metal is corny and overrated imo. but I guess you can't deny the legacy of this band and this album.

Balls out straight up rock music. This is good!

Simply thrilling. So much better than most other Heavy Rock.

timeless, does anyone not like this?

Memories of school, jean jackets wreaking of palmals with ballpoint pen inscribed band logos... I didn't like the people back then that liked this music, but I liked the music.

Andy informed me that Slash was 22 when this album came out and now I am devastated.

Dominating in my late teens. Listening to the full album for the first time in many, many years it was interesting to note that a fair bit of it was not quite fully professional... The polish a tad patchy, some slight flubs. When it's on point it is quintessential American heavy rock. A bit meatheaded as most of its genre is but smarter and wittier than most.

I can’t believe this was 1987! So many tracks that carried through to this day and beyond.

This album has some of the best rock songs of all time like welcome to the jungle and sweet o child of mine, so I appreciate it for that.

Great stuff even if sweet child goes on a bit

Nice

Oh, how I used to love this album! So many old favourites! So many classics! But that's the catch, though. That past tense. I still think it's an excellent album, but I cannot deny I don't turn to it like I used to. Or as frequently as I used to.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard this one in full, it’s a good record and the classics slap hard, there is some “guitar jerkin” but I mean, it’s slash so it’s ok I guess. It is quite long, but any 80’s record without synths is a win

Un 4, pero porque tiene Sweet Child Of Mine.

Hard-core dude

4.0 - This record was another staple among the cool kids at my elementary school, which made it suspect in my eyes. But like it or not, GNR has been a mainstay in the soundtrack of my life. Wherever people are having fun, "Paradise City", "Sweet Child o' Mine" and "Welcome to the Jungle" are bound to be playing. As I finally give this album a fair listen, I actually think they've pulled off something heroic. They've wrested control of rock 'n' roll from the terrible and tired rock acts that were crowding the radio. I was expecting to hear big synthesizer fills, multi-layered vocal harmonics and typical cocaine-driven studio overproduction. Instead I hear a sound that is raw and stripped down. Axl Rose commands with a single, powerful voice. Slash comes through with blues-inspired licks, unfettered by studio fuckery. This is sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll set against the Sunset Strip. Pretty damn classic.

Solid

Really enjoyed this album

I'm a bit indifferent to GNR and their particular brand of cock rock, but most of their biggest (and I'd argue all of their best) tunes are on this album. The album tracks are more killer than filler, too - just about. A slightly overly long time, but a good time.

Qué buen disco. Quizá nunca le he tenido fe a Axl Rose ni me ha caido bien, y tal vez no soy fan de su estilo de cantar y los gemidos que hace en los puentes, pero es que si dejas pasar eso, el disco es una tras otra de buenas rolas de rock. Además de los tres obvios trancazos que trae: Paradise City, Welcome to the Jungle y Sweet Child O' Mine, pero la verdad es que otras muchas del disco son muy buenas aunque no suenen cada viernes en cada bar de rock a lo largo y ancho del mundo. Mr. Brownstone, Think About You y Rocket Queen, al menos, valen la pena. Es en definitiva una ventana al porque esta banda llegó a ser tan importante…

Después de años lo escuche completo nuevamente. Lo recordaba mejor.

Has entered the realm of "yeah its a classic, but I would also be happy if I never listened to it again"

i desperately needed this album after a week of god awful albums… so i really enjoyed it. i needed a hard rock and this is perfect. it’s just a good, loud album.

Classic songs on there, sounds very of its time but still good.

Better than I remember, but still not the breed of nihilism that I would listen to on a regular basis.

good album, it slaps, 2 or 3 classics

One of the most complete hard rocking albums of all time. GNR’s best. Also a trip down memory lane for us people of a certain age.

Classics

4/5. Might just be the most overrated album of all time.

One of the better album from GnR

Part Led Zep, part Aerosmith, part AC/DC (and a lot of other bands) ‘Appetite For Destruction’ is as raunchy and sleazy a debut as anything that came before it. Where it’s different compared to other hard rock albums of the era is in the nasty, mean, and grim undercurrent that runs through the album. However it’s also full of terrific hooks and riffs, meaning it’s a record that still thrills and feels dangerous, even today.

Klasyk

Some excellent classic tracks ! 4*

Hmmm... sneaks a low four. Mainly so as to not mess up my genre ratings! No really, obviously there are one or two classic songs in there but generally I find GnR quite parodic and tiresome.

Goed album, maar na een tijdje beginnen alle nummers toch wel heel hard op elkaar te lijken

One or two of these at a time are awesome. Not a surprise that his voice gets grating all at once though. By the middle of My Michelle I had to take a break. 3 stars for good headbangin’ rock straight through, and an extra star for the 45 seconds of Sweet Child alone.

classic

Nothing notable outside the big three. Best track: Sweet Child O' Mine

I respect the classic songs on this album (that aren't Sweet Child of Mine because that song was never good), but the rest of the album around it just isn't very good.

Yes. Yes. Yes! I love Guns n Roses and squealed when I saw this as my album of the day. WHAT A TREAT

Profane, grimy, and messy

One of the most popular albums in American history and this is my first time listening to it. It definitely rocks; a headbanging delight; hard rock at its hardest. "Sweet Child O' Mine" remains an anthem. Besides the other two well known hits "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Paradise City," I was fond of "It's so Easy" and "My Michelle." The lyrics on all these songs are not warm and charming, but that's rock 'n' roll I guess!

I was never a big fan of Guns N' Roses...I found their rock a little hard for my tastes. Even so, I don't know how I never listened to this album before. Listening now, I don't know what all my fuss was about...there is nothing that extreme here. The tracks are quite listenable, although I doubt I will listen all that often.

Buen disco, mucha energía y potencia.

This is one of the biggest album of all time. It put Guns N' Roses on the map. The amount of hits is unreal.

All the G'n'R classics in one place. What is this, some kind of greatest hits?

Classic

Solid album. The hits are definitely hits but some of the other songs kind of fall flat.

What a debut. Some songs that aren't so great, but they still keep the vibe going. If you like hard rock that doesn't waver on that description, it's a good album to hear. Highlight Tracks: 1, 5, 6, 7, 9

Classic and great album. Hard hitter. Anthem album.

Pretty good. Groovy jams, but questionable lyrics/subject matter. Also these songs are so overused in movies so that detracts from them too

great high moments goeie energy little samey throughout

The hits here really hit, especially Paradise City. But the deep cuts really don't do it for me at all. Still, the singles and the overall production are enough to carry it to a 4/5 from me.

One of my favorite all time guitar players is Slash. Guns & Roses is a definite classic, can’t say anything bad about this band.

Now this is classic rock! I was shocked to hear the F word on multiple tracks without a parental advisory so I can only imagine the young kids who's parents caught them listening to this and called it the devils music. All their best songs on one album plus some other ok hits. My appetite was quenched as I was destroyed by these balads.

I still can't believe I saw them live, they're not that great, but some good songs in there. I'll go with 4, but 3 was close

Its funny to me how much this album now sounds like electrified honky-tonk to me. In any case, it was still thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. The radio anthems that are nearly impossible to not sing along with, still hold strong, but the rest of the album is a solidly stable collection of tracks as well, that doesn't really leave much room for complaint - assuming you can get into the style at all. The production of the album is vocals and guitars forward and it's pretty obvious why (Axle, Slash and Duff - I mean, come on!). In contrast, the rhythm section could basically be any studio artists out there and I'm not sure it would feel any different. All around, a good one to revisit.

The songs I already knew didn't stand out so much to me, but the newer ones sounded so refreshing to me. The energy was through the roof and I couldn't help but have a good time.

Fun, lots of classics. Can't say I really actively listened, but still enjoyed it while I worked.

This album is hugely impressive, obviously influential, and overall very fun to listen to. I’m not a huge fan of Axl’s vocals, but this is still a great album

Another flaw in the 5 star rating system. This is a high 4 point something but can’t go 5!!

Still holds up. Great fucking metal album. Slash is a guitar god and I finally got to see them all just a few days ago.

4/5 obviously yes!

Great Rock album, awesome of course as a debut album, but overall it has three great songs, couple of good songs and the rest of the songs fall off, being a three ish, so overall this combines for a good 4

Obviously there are a couple of big hits on here (Welcome to the Jungle / Paradise City / Sweet Child O'Mine). The rest of the album is good. Very solid CD, not convinced it needs 5 start though.

Guns n' roses.. I knew this day would come. Over het algemeen over deze band: - ze hebben de geschiedenis, de reputatie - ze hebben de oldschool vibe - ze hebben zeker en vast de hits Maar, vaak voel ik het niet. Net zoals bij al die andere grote, ACDC. Instrumentaal, top. Riffs zitten altijd goed, gitaarwerk is vaak sterk en iconisch. Bas, zoals het moet, aanwezig maar ge hoort het niet. Drums: simplistisch, zoals altijd bij die oldschool bands. Zang... Iconisch, MAAR, niet mijn ding. Altijd zo hoog dat het na een tijd echt op men zenuwen werkt. Ik mag er echt niet te veel op letten of het stoort mij. Het album, goed, de hits steken er wel bovenuit. Ik geniet vooral van de instrumenten want de zang is ugh. Axl Rose, geen fan, en dan ging die nog zingen bij die andere ambetante zang van ACDC.. nee bedankt. had een 5je geweest als ik de zang kon verdragen.

Int begin vond ik dat ze gewoon veel de titel van het liedje herhaalde op snoei harde gitaren. Maaaaaarrrr they got hits boiiiii. Als ik dit album luister wil ik gewoon terug zoals vroeger die goede race games spelen met paradise city op de radio ooh wat genieten. Dit type Gitaren zijn nog steeds niet mijn favoriet maar ik apprecieer wel dat ze dat kunnen ( denk ik niet easy idk). Ja ja ik geef het een 4 verrassend. Maar vooral voor paradise city en my michelle b2b vibes

What a classic! Not every song is worth listening through but the amount of absolute bangers on this album is mind blowing. And to think it was a debut album that started off with Welcome to the Jungle!

Good old Dad rock baby

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: Welcome to the jungle, My Michelle, Sweet child O' Mine

Algunas parecen filler, otras han envejecido mal. Pero igual, aguante el rock n roll cabrrrrrones

Obvious bangers. Overall, aight🇹🇬

Pretty good

Axl Rose is a prick but this is a classic album.

Groovy dude.

Great debut album with the hits "Welcome to the Jungle", "Paradise City", and "Sweet Child o' Mine". Fantastic guitar work by Slash.

Definitely GnR at their best. Deep tracks are vulgar and almost comically rebellious. Fantastic hard rock album.

Didn't thought I was going to like it, but ended enjoying it. Might listen a couple of times more.

Nice to listen to, great energy

typical 80's rock. Solid album for metal/hard rock.

Fun listen. Lot of the songs could have the last minute cut.

Surprised I haven’t listened to this before. There wasn’t a bad song on the album. Really good!

Not my vibe so much but bangers aplenty so can't complain

(Listened to Before)This is a childhood favorite so definitely biased, but this is one of the best hard rock/hair metal records ever. Listening back more critically this time, there are definitely a couple meh songs on here, but nearly everything is enjoyable and there are too many classics on here for those mediocre tracks to hurt my overall view hurt the overall record. Best Tracks: My Michelle, Rocket Queen, Sweet Child O’ Mine, Welcome to the Jungle Worst Tracks: Nightrain, You’re Crazy

.

Fun times.

The great tracks offset a couple of weaker ones

Paradise City alone deserves a 4

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.

Great album

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

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.

An appetite for bangers

Has some good songs on it, not my favorite tho

More fun than I remembered.

Pre party bops

Sweet Child & filler

Decc

Looking for energy?

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

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.

Classic.

A classic album for sure with some of the bangerest bangers on it but the interim songs weren't so good.

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

Clássico da adolescência. Como Axel cantava....

Wow....I did not know Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City and Sweet Child O' Mine were all from the same album.

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

Classic, but a wholly overrated band

darn good

This definitely deserves a place on this list simply because of the immense popularity of its numerable singles. Tracks like Welcome To The Jungle, Paradise, and Sweet Child Of Mine are inescapable but god, do I dislike them. I’m therefore balancing these two points and putting right in the middle with a 3.

It’s obvious why this is here. It’s got the bug hits and if you like this kind of classic 80s rock it’s great. The super produced stadium rock doesn’t do that much for me, so it’s just ok

Track 1 - 4 Track 2 - 3 Track 3 - 3 Track 4 -2.5 Track 5 - 2.5 Track 6 - 3.5 Track 7 - 3 Track 8 - 3 Track 9 - 4 Track 10 - 3 Track 11 - 2.5 Track 12 - 3

Appetite for Destruction is glam metal with a real edge, keeping the poppy hooks the genre is known for while adding killer guitar riffs and real sleaze in the lyrics. Most of it is style over substance - see the simple guitar melody on "Sweet Child o Mine" - but it mostly works. Classics like "Welcome to the Jungle" fit right in next to deep cuts like "Nightrain" and "Think About You." The problem? There is a lot of chaff here. "My Michelle," "You're Crazy," and "Anything Goes" litter the back half with subpar songs, and I'd even throw "Paradise City" in there with its midtempo chorus and overlong outro. The sleaziness can also be too much in places, where it sounds dead serious instead of stylized or done for effect. This rocks hard, and has plenty of great moments, but in the end the lesser moments outweigh them.

heard this enough. for the genre, it's tops

Not the biggest fan but I recognize that they’re good

They are Gun's N' Roses and they are iconic and they rock! Now a full album of them is a lot of rocking. The hits are great (Jungle, Brownstone, Sweet Child). The non-hits didn't do anything for me so its a solid 3

Axle Rose was a much worse singer than I remembered. But I like Slash's guitar playing.

The mega hits on here still mostly stand the test of time, especially Sweet Child O' Mine, but good lort his voice is annoying after almost an hour of it. He's so screamy and it's kind of painful. If I didn't know them and their hits, this might be a 2 based on Axl's vocals alone. The heavy metalness of it all gets old too, but it's Guns 'N Roses and they're just so classic.

This is a dirt bags anthem. I was eleven even this come out. For Christmas I got this album and U2 Joshua Tree in CD. I’ve listened to this a bunch but even as a kid I knew this was music for dirt bags and never felt comfortable listening to it. It gave me the same feeling as listening to hip hop as a white guy. I liked it but I wasn’t the guy they were singing to. The music is great, the singing is fine, and the energy puts other hair metal to shame. Choice dirt bag lyric, “Turn around bitch, I got a use for you. Besides, you ain’t got nothin’ better to do. And I’m bored.”

I remember this being a bit better than it sounds now. But perhaps I only listened to the hits

As much as I enjoyed the hits I didn't care too much for the songs I didn't know. But welcome to the jungle is a hell of an opener and sweet child o mine is one of the best

Repeat listen

Could be stronger lyrically, they were too caught up with being intentionally edgy with their words just because they could. With a little thought, the album could retain the same abrasiveness and elevate itself musically. Band is tight and the compositions are clean (or dirty, depending on how you want to describe them). Pioneers in rock & roll for an obvious reason, but caught up in the caricature of rock & roll from their era. Standout tracks: My Michelle, Think About You

highs are very high, unfortunately there are only 2 of them 7/10 best song - welcome to the jungle

I’m sorry I know this album is a big deal but other than sweet child of mine I just can’t with axl. The screaming, the car references. It isn’t FOR ME Having said that I must admit I cannot recall a time in life when I had never heard a guns n roses song (probably from this album) clearly they’ve seeped into my subconscious to the point that objectively reviewing is probably impossible

Going into this album after years of not listening was an interesting experience. Appetite for Destruction has aged like the 30 year old Miller Lite can in the back of your old man's fridge... but you know what? Sometimes it's ok to say fuck it and crack that ol' stale boy open. Initially, my hope was to go in with renewed virgin ears and a fresh perspective, but the grip of nostalgia this album has is too tight to escape. Truthfully, I couldn't care less if the content has aged poorly or if mechanically there is better skill to be found elsewhere. Slash shreds. Axl Rose's vocals here are classic, gritty, and timeless. From front to back this album is a great fucking time. Let your hair down and your head bang.

There are three great songs on here and they are the obvious (and overplayed) ones that everyone knows. Honestly, I wasn't impressed by any of the other songs. They were just not memorable and it became clear why only those three songs have stood the test of time. I'm just not crazy about this rock music style either and find the lead vocalists voice really annoying. But still things to like here. Top Songs: Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Sweet Child o' Mine

Boomer

3.4/5

I’m being generous with the 3

Não acho que Guns tenha um som ruim, muito pelo contrário, acredito que o Slash seja um gênio, mas essa banda representa tudo que o rock tem de ruim, especificamente nos anos 90. Nunca consegui levar a sério uma banda na qual o selling point nunca foi a genialidade do Slash ou as influências de Stones e outras bandas, mas sim, pois o Axl era bonito, ênfase no "era". A obsessão que Guns causou nas pessoas na época era nada mais do que um culto sexual ao Axl, tanto pelas mulheres, que o desejavam, quanto pelos homens, que queriam ser desejados assim como ele, e isso ganha ainda mais força com a faixa "Rocket Queen", na qual temos um audio sobreposto do próprio Axl transando com uma mulher na cabine de gravação. Com uma voz sem o mínimo de técnica e com o uso constante de drive, não me surpreende que hoje em dia sua voz pareça a do Mickey Mouse em shows (inclusive fui em um deles) devido ao desgaste. Sexo vende, e nesse caso vendeu muito, pergunte pra qualquer fã de Guns daquela época o que eles acham da música deles, e quase todas as respostas não vão ser sobre a música.

Prime example of Hair Metal from the 80's. Also, this was their impressive debut album. Pitchfork: 10 (2017 - 30 year retrospective review) Rolling Stone: Top 500 Albums #62 Best Songs Welcome To The Jungle Paradise City Sweet Child O' Mine

Personally won’t ever be able to separate Guns N’ Roses from classic rock radio monotony, but this is still a good album. 2.5 rounded up.

Il faut bien reconnaître qu'en matière de déflagration commerciale et de raz-de-marée générationnel, Appetite For Destruction reste un monstre sacré. En 1987, les Guns N' Roses ont débarqué sur le Sunset Strip en dégageant d'un revers de manche le glam metal poudré pour lui injecter une bonne dose de venin punk et de sleaze rock. Le disque est une véritable collection de tubes imparables qui ont tourné en boucle sur toutes les radios de la planète. La frappe de Steven Adler, la basse élastique de Duff McKagan, le groove acéré d'Izzy Stradlin, les feulements suraigus d'Axl Rose et, évidemment, le chapeau haut-de-forme de Slash balançant des solis désormais gravés dans la mémoire populaire : la formule était calibrée pour tout écraser sur son passage. L'album tourne autour des dérives urbaines de Los Angeles, de la paranoïa de la survie dans la jungle californienne, des descentes d'héroïne et de liaisons toxiques. C'est du hard rock brut, vicieux et suintant la poussière des bas-fonds américains. C'est précisément cette urgence névrotique et cette insolence qui ont propulsé le groupe au sommet des charts mondiaux. Axl Rose posait d'ailleurs le décor d'entrée de jeu, hurlant dès les premières secondes : « Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games We got everything you want, honey, we know the names » Mais si je pose deux minutes le cerveau et que je regarde cet objet avec un peu de recul critique, l'évidence me saute aux oreilles. Malgré sa puissance tellurique indiscutable et cette énergie viscérale qui vous pousse irrémédiablement à secouer la tête et taper du pied, mon ADN musical bloque et refuse de monter plus haut qu'un 3 sur 5 bien tassé. Car passé l'impact frontal des gros classiques ultra-diffusés, il faut bien avouer qu'une certaine monotonie s'installe. Malgré la production musclée de Mike Clink, on se retrouve rapidement coincé dans une boucle où l'on a la fâcheuse impression d'écouter le même morceau étiré sur douze pistes, articulé autour des mêmes tics d'écriture et de riffs calqués sur la même cadence. C'est percutant, c'est efficace pour remplir des stades, mais sur la longueur d'un album complet, l'exercice de style montre vite ses limites structurelles. Mais bon ne boudons pas notre plaisir car Appetite For Destruction reste un classique radiophonique indéniable, et malgré qu'il ne soit pas le chef-d'œuvre de diversité absolue que la légende voudrait nous vendre.

You know what it was dead fun listening to this. Love the energy Not my normal vibe but good nonetheless

Just not my tempo. Liked it slightly more than I thought....maybe...

This is difficult to rate. Iv never been a Guns N Roses fan. Iv don’t enjoy Axl Roses voice and Iv heard the majority of these songs overplayed on the radio. Just not my style of music although I apreciate the talent and the hits, especially for a debut album, quite insane. Always also had abit of a soft spot for paradise city. Just not massively my thing.

I feel like every Guns N' Roses song I know was on this album, so I can see why it was ruled significant enough to be on this list. I'm not big into Guns N' Roses but they aren't bad, I knew what to expect at least and it met those expectations without overdoing it.

This was fun, but isn't really my scene

Listened before? Not the full album Familiar with the artist? Yes, have heard the hits a million times on the radio Thoughts: Ehh... Musically I get why it's here, but it doesn't do anything for me, especially lyrically. Other than adding the big singles to an 80s playlist I doubt I'll ever listen again. Favorite track(s): Sweet Child of Mine Least favorite: honestly everything beyond the 3 big hits just kind of blends together.

I mean they're obviously crushing it, but this is really overplayed and I'm just kinda sick of it Favorite Songs: Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City

gruwel. zijn het echt wel bangers ja absoluut maar god zo grijsgedraaid aan alle kanten dat er niks meer aan is

Guns N’ Roses. Doing gun things and roses things. Not gonna lie, it does exactly what it says in the tin. It’s fucking rocking. Axl’s voice is outrageous, the band are tight as fuck. It’s a must have album for anyone! However, it’s one that I rarely listen to.

i'm torn between 3 and 4 on this. the album is honestly boring and at times offensive without having any talent to back it up outside of the singles, but the singles are so transcendently good that you understand how they got famous even though axl rose is a stochastic terrorist. i'm giving it a 3 but TRUST it has a couple of 5 moments

This album is a ride. The hits are great but some of the others sound too similar or just don’t go as hard. Pretty incredible for a debut album though!

Not really my genre but way nicer and more interesting than expected

Had never come to this album, but have heard large parts of it on greatest hits compilations. Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, and Sweet Child O Mine are good. The rest are okay.

Not bad

Not really my thing but the stadium singles are undeniable

1. Didn’t appreciate how influenced by Aerosmith they are until this particular listen through 2. Was that an acoustic guitar or harpsichord in “think about you?” 3. “Rocket Queen” always rules

Welcome to the Jungle and Sweet Child O'Mine make it a 3, no question. The rest didn't stand out to me.
