About this album
Appetite for Destruction is the 1987 debut album by Los Angeles-based hard rock band Guns N’ Roses. The album combines elements of heavy metal, punk rock, hard rock, and blues-rock.
Appetite for Destruction reached number one on the US Albums Chart, and has since certified 15x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album has accumulated worldwide sales in excess of 28 million. Appetite for Destruction is ranked the fourth best-selling debut album in the United States. The album is considered by many to be one of the greatest hard rock albums of the 20th century.
Origins
While the songwriting credits are indiscriminately credited to all five band members, many of the songs began as solo tracks that individual band members wrote in the pre-Guns N’ Roses era, only to be completed by the band. These songs includeIt’s So Easy and Nightrain (McKagan), Mr. Brownstone, Anything Goes, and Think About You (Stradlin). Paradise City and Rocket Queen were unfinished Rose/McKagan and Rose/Stradlin demos respectively that the band wrote in their early career.
Other songs on the album reflect the band’s reaction to the debauchery of the L.A. rock and roll underground, such asWelcome To The Jungle (Rose wrote the lyrics while in Seattle about an incident in New York City) and Out ta Get Me, as well as their assorted female companions, reflected in the songs Sweet Child O’ Mine, Think About You, My Michelle, You’re Crazy, and Rocket Queen.

Álbum - Appetite for Destruction Artista - Guns N’ Roses Ano - 1987 Sem dúvida nenhuma uma obra prima. Apesar de acreditar que o rock deva ser antes de tudo descompromissado com medidas e regras, “Appetite for Destruction” mostrou a medida certa de todos os elementos fundamentais do rock n’ roll como, guitarras distorcida e altas, solos e riffs iluminados, letras agressivas e mal educadas, somado com o vocal sensacional de Axl Rose. Todas as músicas são f$%@# e colocoram a banda no topo do mundo merecidamente e ainda abriram um gigantesco espaço no mundo do rock criando milhares de novos guitarristas, bateristas, baixistas e futuros astros do rock. “Paradise City”, “Welcome To The Jungle” e “Sweet Child o’ Mine” são e serão por muito tempo ainda obrigatórias em qualquer playlist de um verdadeiro fã de rock.

i used to dance with Mr. Brownstone myself. He's a bad man... he seems awesome at first, but he'll fuck you up (just ask Stephen Adler) This is one of the greatest hard rock records of all time, up there with Back in Black and maybe just a few others. They were so raunchy then. Their music reflected their lifestyle; sex, drugs, and rock and roll
