A
glimpse of the future, and not because of its huge influence and
umpteen million sales. The poor-little-rich-boy protest "Out ta Get Me"
intimates that Axl Rose's egotism and martyr complex were soon to grow
bigger than his head; still, Appetite's night-train wreck of punk and
metal sounds and sensibilities make it more than just an emblem of its
time.
Whether GN'R are dancing with Mr. Brownstone, penning a
callow kiss-off letter to some chick named Michelle, or passing out on
somebody else's sofa, this was and remains a savage journey to the
heart of the American--or at least the Hollywood--dream.
APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTIONwas a shot in the arm for the sorry state of hard rock in the 80's. All
the other big bands of the era were more into looks than music, while
the musically sound bands didnt get their due.
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE kicks off the album and it is an angry tribute to life in LA and breaking into the music business.
ITS SO EASY is another hard rockin song that keeps the listener intensely hook into this record.
NIGHTRAIN is a straight ahead in your face rock song that just blows you away
In 1987, Guns N' Roses exploded onto the national scene with "
Appetite for Destruction." It was their first and best album. On the first track, "
Welcome to the Jungle,"
Slash's beginning riffs and Axl's eerie howl set the stage for the rest
of the songs. "Jungle" is a no-holds-barred look at the dark,
drug-infested world beneath the glitz-and-glamour exterior of Los
Angeles. "
It's So Easy" shows the heart of the band: Axl's
interplay with Slash and Izzy Straldlin. "Night Train" is another
exploration of the sex, drug, and alcohol-fueled world of an L.A. club
band at the time that Guns was coming up. "Out Ta Get Me" is the first
glimpse of Axl's paranoia and self-absorption, which would ultimately
lead to the band's downfall. "
Mr. Brownstone" is a song about
heroin, and with the lyrics "the show usually starts around 7. We go on
stage around 9," it would prove prophetic about the chaotic nature of
Guns N' Roses and their live concerts. "
Paradise City" begins in
(and the choruses return to) a Southern-Rock style, but is mostly the
blues-and-punk-flavored hard rock that made them famous.
This is
one of the greatest debut albums in the history of rock and roll, and
20 years or so after it was released, it's still one of the greatest
albums ever. Despite Guns n Roses being a metal band from the late
1980's, they transcend genre and make lasting music. None of their
albums have dated, and it all started with this masterpiece.
Sure,
the original band is gone and Guns n Roses consists of Axl Rose and new
members, but this album reminds you of how awesome they were, how they
really shook up the rock world with this album, and how Appetite for
Destruction still has its power all these years later. It's pretty cool
when you listen to an album that you can listen to many years later,
and feel the exact same way without giving into nostalgia.
And, this will always be known as one of the greatest rock albums of all time!
