Appetite For Destruction

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

I really struggled with this as parts of the album are musically brilliant - real stand out tracks - some parts are fine, but then you tune into the lyrics and the way he writes about women is horrendous. Just disgusting. Apparently there used to be another track that was removed in 2018 because it was racist and homophobic.

couple strong singles but there are some misses

A couple of really great songs, but the rest sounds dated. 80's Hair Band. Was big in it's day, but not so much now.

Good but over stuffed. This didn't need to be 54 minutes long. Cut "You're Crazy" and "Anything Goes" and move "Out ta Get Me" between "Sweet Child o Mine" and "Rocket Queen" so there aren't two 6 minute long tracks back to back and this goes up a star.

High highs. Mid mids.

Very competent album that is not my cup of tea (talk to 16 year old me for a five star review lol) 3.5/5

Three absolute stone cold classics hidden in a mass of sludge.

GUNNERS! It’s undeniable that elements of this go pretty hard: Welcome to the Jungle is an all-time opener and the ending to Paradise City is triumphant. I even have some weird respect for GNR fans, who seem oblivious to the fashion cycles which put them in and out of favour every five years or so. But, but, but it’s also GNR so we can’t score it that high now can we?

just the classic classic solid 3.95/5

3.5 I still love sweet child o mine but honestly a bit tired of paradise city and welcome to the jungle and the rest of the album isn't quite on the level of those songs. Not bad or anything but not something I'd really chose to listen through as a whole again really

A boyband with a bad attitude. Great musicians but a bit meh for me.

p574. 1987. 3 stars. Generic and inexplicably popular 80s stadium rock, dressed up in punk gladrags. Points deducted for Axl Rose - not only is he a twat, he sounds like a dog with its leg caught in barbed wire. Saved from 2 stars by a couple of classic songs and some incendiary guitar work.

Kinda wish welcome to the jungle intro was longer but great opening. Never actually listened to this album and it’s really good. Listened to the rest when im boiling and it’s stressing me out man

그냥 락

I listened to this album maybe 2 months ago and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The lyrics may be stupid, but combined with the guitars and drums, makes all the songs fun. I like Mr. Brownstone a lot

The hits are good and borderline played out. The rest sounds about the same just not as catchy

Todo mundo sabe que é um clássico, mas eu já ouvi um milhão de vezes, justamente por ser um clássico. As músicas dessa álbum (principalmente Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City e Sweet Child O' Mine) passam no rádio o tempo todo. Achei que essa recomendação foi meio ruim, talvez para alguém que ouve pouca música ou está começando a ouvir música agora.

Interesting noises axl rose

He was never a singer, bless him. I feel like listening to Guns N Roses is a bit like watching an 11 year old boy try to act tough. It's trying to be all big and bad and rebellious but just kinda comes across sort of endearingly daft. Yes dear your guitar playing is *very* fast. Of *course* you've got lots of girls who fancy you. Your rattlesnake suitcase *is* cool (rattlesnake suitcase is a real lyric btw). I did enjoy listening to this despite it being obviously quite rancid in places - like enjoying a 4am kebab despite the burger sauce feeling a bit like it's on the turn – but is it like, *good*? Not particularly.

Never been a fan. Hard to ignore their impact on 80's & 90's metal/rock and roll.

En ole tämänkään pumpun suurin ystävä mutta albumille on eksynyt useampi hitti, voisiko jopa sanoa hittikimara. Perus rokkia. Axel Rosen ääni on kyllä persoonallinen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Eh I’m not that hungry.

Never could mesh with GNR and this album confirms it. I'm not sure what about it with them in particular, maybe the screeching vocals that sometimes come out of nowhere? Or perhaps the flirting with glam metal and the related atrocious lyrics? Maybe the generic (even though some of the riffs sound sick) hard rock sound? It has to be something, or some of it. I just can't get with it. I mean some of the lyrics are ludicrous, how did the lyrics ever get past the testing stage? The lines in "It's So Easy" are so funny: "I see you standin' there / You think you're so cool Why don't you just / Fuck off." Even though the lyrics aren't 'great,' the delivery makes up for the quality of the line. As well the snotty instrumental, reminiscent of "Brand New Cadillac" by the Clash. Slash's lead playing and Duff's bass playing make up for some of the downsides it has. Slash I believe is one of those guitarist that probably made a deal with devil in the middle of nowhere during the middle of the night. Axl Rose brings down the album heavily; I don't like the vocals at all. Maybe that's apart of the appeal of GNR, the sloppy vocals that match the debauchery themes. I wouldn't recommend this one, but I can't help but feel I'm missing something as some people absolutely adore this album. I wonder wonder why. Highlight Song/s: "It's So Easy", "Paradise City" and "Sweet Child O' Mine"

I enjoyed the pace and the production within the album, I may visit it whenever I’m fuming

Really not a big guns and roses fan, but when they get it right, its awesome! So for sweet child of mine, paradise city and welcome to the jungle I'll give em three stars 😆😆

I used to listen to this album a ton when I was a teenager. When I think back on it I remember the major hits, but there were a surprising number of misses for me as well. Of course songs like "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Paradise City" are undeniably great, but then I find "Nightrain," "Out Ta Get Me", "You're Crazy," etc. to be pretty big misses. Still, it is crazy how many hits they packed onto this debut.

I guess? Sure

The singles are good; it's really something knowing the band never really came back after this first album

I admittedly have a love/hate relationship with Guns N' Roses. I actually don't mind their songs in small doses, but I absolutely cannot stand Axl's voice. It's like nails on a chalkboard for me. I feel like he's just screaming at me, and in this case, he screamed at me for almost an hour, which is way too long. I have to give this album credit for the amount of hits it has on it. Also, if you read up on the album, it was a bust when it first came out. It wasn't until after the band campaigned to have their music played on MTV and radio stations, and toured non-stop in small clubs everywhere, that it finally gained traction and ended up being one of the best selling albums of all time. So, it belongs on this list, but I will not be listening to it again.

fine js not really my vibe

Brilliant album, listened to it too much when younger, lots of classics. 3/5

Got some classics on here! Its fun but not something I want to listen to on the regular. 6/10

fave song: Mr. Brownstone

I enjoyed this album but not as much as other rock albums I've heard. At the time, this was probably special but now there's other bands doing it better.

The singles are the singles for a reason. The deep cuts are deep cuts because they fucking suck

Everyone has heard these singles so many times that, for many, they have lost their luster. The non-singles were not enjoyable to me. I think the only song I still like on this album is Sweet Child O Mine. It's obviously a classic, but having heard it, I will not intentionally listen to any of these songs.

5/10

Gunnareilla on hittibiisit jotka potkii, mutta muut kipaleet on vähä semmosta perusrokkia. Levy ihan ookoo.

En oo koko levyä koskaan kuunnellu, tuntu että ei-hittibiisit oli freesimpiä ja parempia - johtuen varmaan, että hittibiisejä on tullu kuunneltua neljättäkymmenettä vuotta enemmän tai vähemmän. GNR ei oo itelle se kotoisin paikka, mutta meni kertakuuntelulta aivan mukavasti, silmät pyöri vähän hittibiiseissä, lyriikat tuli kuitenki selkärangasta.

Это круто, мне кажется, что я слышала много похожих ходов в более современных песнях, но всё-таки не совсем мое

lots of recognizable stuff on here. pretty fun time all around

Good

J’ai jamais accroché à Guns N’ Roses. Je trouve ça sympa, mais sans plus et j’ai jamais compris le statut culte du groupe. Cet album, je le trouve sympathique, mais rien de plus. Il est tellement neutre que je saurais même pas franchement quoi dire dessus. Voilà, j’aime pas plus que ça.

3 bangers, resten fillers.. Bangersarna går väl inte att förneka så en motvillig 3a Thinking about you = fucking annoying

Ska man lyssna på en hårdrocksskiva från 80-talet är det nog den här man ska höra. Guns’n’roses plockar influenser från sleaze, punk och skitig rock’n’roll. Use your illusions-skivorna har kanske högre toppar, men är å andra sidan rätt spretig över åtta LP-sidor. Appetite är mer konsekvent och sammanhållen i sitt sound. Slash hade kunnat tagga ner lite emellanåt, men introt till Sweet child o mine är verkligen enastående gitarrmagi. I övrigt höjer jag volymen till Welcomw to the jungle, Out ta get me, Mr Brownstone, Paradise city och Rocket Queen.

Mer rock än hårdrock vilket naturligtvis är positivt. Roses sånginsatser är inget att skriva hem om. Men här finns bra låtar. Framförallt hitsen håller bra klass (även om jag hade för mig att Sweet child… var ännu bättre). Där emellan finns en del lyssningsbara men också en del transport. Hursomhelst klarar man trean. Riktigt bra för genren.

När de koncentrerar sig på gubbrock är det rätt bra, som It's so easy. Även hitsen Paradise och welcome to the Jungle håller. Det går nästan att ana något soulfullt i vissa låtar med koklocka och fina basslingor. Låtarna är överlag lite för långa och innehåller på tok för många hårdrockssolon av standardtyp.

I thought id enjoy this more than I did. Its not quite hair metal, not quite punk, not quite crunge. When its good it combines the best of those, but at its worst it combines the bad parts. Lyrics have not aged well. Guitars good but a bit over the top and repetitive in parts.

Favourite Songs: Welcome To The Jungle

Classics but overall each song sounded the exact same

Fun to listen to the classics. Otherwise not really my kind of thing. Weirdly the production felt very flat- might be my beats earbuds!

Mid.

Even though I had a huge negativity biased view of this album going in (the popularity, the videos, the characters) this album was pretty consistent. Even the songs I didn't know were of decent quality. Slash is a superstar, who created leads that people still recognize today, decades later.

I am not a fan of Guns N' Roses, but I know and understand what important shifts in music mean in genres, and this album represents a shift in metal...and also the end of a golden era of metal. Metallica and Guns N' Roses produced their best music in the late 80s at the right time. Any later, and it would have been a wash (Metallica would be the only true survivor).

does what it says on the tin. some classic tracks some forgettable tracks

Never got around these guys. I had fun nonetheless tho

Somehow worse than what I remembered. Still a solid album, maybe I haven't had enough pussy to comprehend it's greatness.

Even though you can’t beat some of these classics (even if they’re overplayed) and good riffs, some of this still feels stale. Likes: Welcome To The Jungle; Nightrain; Paradise City; Sweet Child O Mine

This album has some huge singles (Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Sweet Child O'Mine) but I personally dislike Guns & Roses - they're almost a parody of an 80's mainstream hair metal band. The lyrics of Nightrain were dumb and the last two songs gave me invasive throughts about whether or not Axl Rose takes off his bandana during sex.

Dad type music. I am neutral on this 👍

3.25 - I don't like the non-singles as much as the songs I've heard a million times.

Dont like guns and roses

La maggiore opera del gruppo e un disco di riferimento nella storia dell'hard rock (contiene le 3 hit del gruppo "Welcome to the Jungle", "Paradise City" e "Sweet Child O' Mine"), ma per gusto personale non gli posso dare più di 3 stelle: troppo americano.

3.8

It would she's been wild to be at the tour for this album . Nasty rock!

Cool for two weeks when I was 14.

É talvez um 3.5 ou com jeitinho um 4 só pelos class clássicos, mas está um bocadinho gasto para mim

felt 60 years old listening to this

Some rockers, some ham fisted clunkers, GnR were definitely a thing though. Three and a half.

It’s not bad, I like it. But I do not love it, and I do think it is a bit overrated

welcommeeee to the jungleeeeee

Kinda full of bangers

I enjoyed this

It was fine

Banging tracks really.

I acknowledge the impact of this album, but I've just never enjoyed Axl's voice.

The classics are great, the other ones a bit less so.

Undeniable how classic the hits are, albeit overplayed. Somehow one of those albums that I'd heard 5 tracks a billion times but not sure if I've ever heard it all of the way through. Like much of this brand of music, the misogyny is on a high tier, and in this modern world, it thankfully sounds dated and inappropriate as song content. That definitely brings it down to a 3.

Cool album. i really do love classic rock but guns n’ roses isnt my favorite so far. i would say 3/5.

Never listened to this album before. The hits really do hit but man, there's some gross tracks on here. I've got a better appreciation for Duffs bass playing now though!

Twelve year old me loved this album back in the day. Now that I’m approaching fifty, I can take it or leave it. Axl Rose’s screeching vocals do get irritating over the course of the album. That being said, “Paradise City” and “Welcome To The Jungle” are both great songs.

3 good songs

Классика, что скажешь

can be fun

I listened to majority of the album, I enjoyed every single song so far! I will definitely listen to it again. I felt like by the end of each song, the energy transferred onto the next song? it’s a lovely, exciting album. I will gate-keep it :p jk, I would recommend it to someone who is new to metal/rock music, like myself.

its good

Great hits, rest was decent

A classic hard rock album from Guns N' Roses. Very catchy and has some pretty strong hooks, and plenty of iconic moments. An extremely conventional and commercial type of music but still quite enjoyable. It's a very entertaining listen, even with some misses it still keeps attention. It's more interesting than most other commercial hard rock albums from this era. It is extremely unadventurous though and many of the songs are not particularly special. Still though this album has a good energy and there is some very solid instrumentation. Slash is a pretty good guitarist and has some solid riffing and fairly impressive solos that give this album it's sound. This album has incredible amount of staying power, still being rather relevant to this day. Axl Rose's voice can get very annoying at points though and the vocals don't really add much of anything to this. My favorite song here is probably Nightrain.

Not for me, but I get it.

Rock de toda la vida

Nicht so mein geschmack

3.4 3x fun album

Used to have this on tape back as a kid. Been a long time since I listened. The singles are standouts, the rest standard 80s hard rock to my ears. Could have dropped a couple of tracks easily. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 70/280 (25%) Will I get: Already have

Overall an enjoyable & easy listen. Favorite track was Mr. Brownstone. It's an influential and very well-made album, but it's hard not to cringe at how 80's it is!

If this was my first time listening, I’d easily give it 4 stars. But I’ve heard these songs a million times…they are so overplayed. So I’m giving it a 3 but I don’t know if that makes sense haha

Never listen to this music but still three songs i know a Vladivostok classic

It’s like Motley Crew trying to be Aerosmith or AC/DC and trying to look really hard and dangerous but failing at that.

Hard to know how to rate a kind of same-y album of a genre you don't love that also features one of the best songs ever written ...

Guns N' Roses wrote 'Welcome to the Jungle' and then tried to do it again 11 times more on the same album without anyone noticing. Fortunately for them, it was a banger of a song and hard to make unlistenable. Unfortunately for them, by the time the first song is over, you've heard everything this album has to offer.

Gut

The big songs from this album are classics for a reason, but again I’m running into the ‘all the songs kind of sound the same’ wall.

This was a good one for the most part. The hits hit the hardest, but I was surprised how different the non hit songs were from the singles. Not that they were totally different, but a lot of this album feels like filler between masterpieces.

Something I've learned about myself through this process - I'm fine with sex talk in music (see Prince), but really don't like misogynistic lyrics. Certainly some rock 'n roll classics here, most of them overplayed, if you ask me, but I can't look past the misogyny.

I liked the songs I already knew, but didn't love the songs I hadn't already heard.

Too insanely overplayed for me to really enjoy it beyond having a basic level of respect for it at this point.

Its rock, its metal, its pop and its camp as Christmas.

Some of their biggest hits

Some memorable songs and some weak songs.

Lo escuché por partes

legalzinho

I want to respect it but atp I hear some songs and they’re just too overplayed for me… anyways the first song reminds me of the time I went on a pub crawl with some friends and we ended up at this arcade bar and we went down these dark stairs which led to a door that had a sign that was like “welcome to the jungle” and we went in and there was like at least 30 middle aged guys who just stared… idk what that was all about but it was a tad creepy lol

When you first hear Guns and Roses, it sounds like a series of impersonations. Axl does his best Robert Plant in “Welcome to the Jungle”. Duff channels Ozzy in “It's So Easy”. Slash brings Jimmy Page, AC/DC and others into his guitar styles. But, all of these influences blended together have sort of become the GnR sound. Full disclosure: I'm not a big GnR fan. I used to make fun of the over-the-top cheesiness of their songs (and videos, looking at you “November Rain”). I never took them fully seriously. I mean, they're one of the main offenders of hair rock. But to be completely fair to them, they can write some great songs, and obviously Slash is a class guitarist. “Welcome to the Jungle” is a great song. The intro does such a good job at building anticipation. And then straight into that fantastic riff. Let's just brush past the gall of Axl’s Robert Plant impersonation, and all of his “sha-na-na-na-na-na-na knees knees”. The breakdown in the middle of the song, building back up to the main riff is genuinely really great stuff. While Jungle still sounds quite Zeppelin, “Paradise City” is where that GnR sound starts coming out. The lyrics are cheesy and cringe as hell, but the chorus is seriously catchy. To be utterly predictable, “Sweet Child” is the third standout track on “Appetite for Destruction”. Sure it's become a trope. You can just imagine Fintan the accountant at his office Xmas party, rolling up his sleeves to show off his air guitar skills. But let's get past that. The riff is iconic for a reason and the song, underneath the parody it's become of itself, is genuinely good. The rest of the songs on the album act as filler to these three hits and, on the whole, they're pretty dull. I could happily live the rest of my life knowing I wouldn't have to listen to them again. But those three big-hitters are a different story. They’ve been so overplayed, so parodied, so absorbed into the world of “Fintan at the Christmas party” that it feels embarrassing to admit they’re good. But they are.

Highlights: Welcome to the Jungle, Nightrain, Paradise City, Sweet Child O’ Mine, You’re Crazy

Best Song: Paradise City. If more of the GnR oeuvre had the same insane, frenetic energy as the last two minutes of this song, they'd have been a much better band. Worst Song: It's So Easy. You can really perceive how edgy they felt by adding "fuck" into the lyrics. Overall: The hits are gargantuan cultural staples but I've never much of the rest, which gives the whole album an uneven balance when listening to it 40 years later. That said, the middling tracks do have a characteristic "Guns N' Roses" quality that is in a way refreshing; this is a band that always lets you know who they are. The album is fine to listen to on a lark, but it feels dated in the way that a lot of old hip-hop is dated. I appreciate them for what they contributed to rock, but they've since been far surpassed by those they influenced. Also, like Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", I think I would be fine with never hearing "Sweet Child O' Mine" ever again.

A few great songs, and several mediocre ones

i like paradise city and sweet child o' mine

This is one of those big albums. It's hard not knowing some of these songs, it's so classic even if you hate it, you probably kind of like it. At least, that's how I feel about the album's opener, so I came into this with an open mind. We know the songs we know, all the singles and the radio-play classics. There's a couple of songs I hadn't heard before, and they weren't a chore to get through. Listening to this as an experience, Slash is probably the main reason for this band's constant success, though the lyrics and vocals do have a classic timelessness to them. It's definitely a must-listen record, but I wouldn't buy it. It's got too many cringe moments for me to play it regularly. 3.3/5

A guitar hero amount of points for you Slash

Okkkk we got some classic rock. GNR definitely followed/updated the glam metal/rock template to a T. Probably a bit too much because they all sound the same. I think there's a reason why the two songs here are overplayed.

Needs more cowbell!

L’album è bello, ci sono delle perle come paradise city, sweet child of mine e welcome to the jungle che meriterebbe solo per loro 5 stelle, ma il resto delle canzoni, sempre sullo stesso ritmo e sugli urli, dopo un po strazia le orecchie e finiva per annoiarmi un po

non il mio genere ma album che bisogna conoscere, spero un giorno di apprezzarlo di più

È chiaramente un sound che hanno fatto assolutamente proprio. Non il loro miglior disco assolutamente. Non ha grandi cambi di ritmo e di tono in termini musicali. Sicuramente c'è varietà dal punto di vista narrativo, ma un rock così forte la fa passare in secondo piano. Si perde l'eterogeneità lirica e rimane solo un ritmo costante.

The hits are great. Hits for a reason. The rest was to me more grating and meh. Not a fan of Axl’s voice. Slash makes this record for me. 3.5/5

album mid, i guns non sono nulla di che e la voce di Axl rose è fastidiosa

High highs, but the rest is same-y and not my vibe

es un álbum que rompe con el estilo de música que siempre escucho, por lo cual fue difícil acostumbrarme a todo lo que fue el sonido, instrumental y letras fuertes. Sin embargo me gustó, lo considero un buen disco, que a mí, personalmente, no me voló la cabeza, pero entiendo la adoración que se puede tener por el. Welcome to the Jungle (4:31) me gusto mucho el instrumental, muy power i like ittttt 8.8/10 maybe playlist It's So Easy (3:21) buena pero me aburrio un toque je 7.5/10 Nightrain (4:26) no es muy mi estilo pero estuvo buena, maybe playlist 8/10 Out ta Get Me (4:20) me agrado bastante, maybe playlist 8.3/10 Mr. Brownstone (3:46) eee nose esta buena 8/10 Paradise City (6:46) me gusto m,e gusto 8.4/10 My Michelle (3:39) eeeeee 8/10 Think About You (3:50) me gusto playlist 8.5/10 Sweet Child o' Mine (5:55) god 8.8/10 You're Crazy (3:16) npc pero buena cancion 7.5/10 Anything Goes (3:25) ñe 7/10 no es mi estilo Rocket Queen (6:13) 6/10

Отакої))) Та всеодно не дуже вонимені заходять)

Guns ‘n’ Roses. Guns ‘n’ fuckin’ Roses. G’ ‘n’ f’ ‘n’ R’ ….. This band frustrate the shit out of me. They are the dangerous band that it’s safe for normal people to like. They are the band that people who don’t listen to rock music think are a good rock band. They are the favourite band of people who like to bust loose and listen to Planet Rock instead of Radio 2 on the Friday night drive home. A band who has had a decades long career based on three great songs and two-and-half albums of filler. One of my friends who is not a rock fan watched their Glasto headline set from a few years ago and said they were “sporadically brilliant”. I guessed it was Paradise City, Sweet Child O’ Mine and Welcome to the Jungle where the brilliance lay, and he somewhat sheepishly admitted I was correct. Ok, the album - well, it has those three great tracks but the rest is just ok, no better or worse. It’s fine, but despite having owned a copy of this album for nearly forty years, I have listened to it a handful of times.

Yes these are some of the most overplayed songs of all time and they’re glorified cock rock, but they’re undeniably masterfully written and represent the logical culmination of 80s heavy metal. Still, I prefer Chinese Democracy. Fight me.

Now that's some *premium* boomer rock!! 🔥🔥 Even if my first reflex is to hate it, some songs have a secret sauce that I can't help but rock out to....... Standouts: My Michelle • Sweet Child O' Mine • Anything Goes

jak miałam 12 lat to dostałam od świętego Mikołaja dyskografię Guns'n'Roses, i "Appetite for destruction" było przez dłuższy czas moją ulubioną płytą... aż do czasu poznania nowej obsesji tamtych lat, tzn. Nirvany. Znienawidziłam G'n'R bo, jak przeczytałam w jednej z niezliczonych biografii Kurta, Axl go obrażał i zwyzywał. Moja pierwsza dziewczyna kochała Axla, czym specjalnie wzbudzała moją zazdrość. Ten ogromny ładunek emocjonalny znacząco może wpłynąć na moją opinię o tym albumie

Some classic rock tracks here but a couple stinkers here as well. Axl is a dweeb and some vocal effects applied are lame. 3

The hits are ok but the rest is so corny. Everything they do Judas Priest did so much better. 2.9/5

First tape I bought myself with my own money! I was 10 or 11. It was good then and it’s good now! Do you know where you are? In the jungle baby!

An sich überhaupt nicht meine Musik. Aber hat irgendwie ganz gut zu meiner Stimmung gepasst. Montag genervt auf der Arbeit, wenn alles mal wieder schief läuft und man eigentlich nur sauer ist! Hab’s nicht ganz gehört…

Some absolute bangers, some very much not

not a big fan of the lyricism, but i loved the 2 opening tracks, paradise city and sweet child o' mine

I like a couple songs off this album, but it is mostly not for me.

Have never listened to GNR album before but some of the songs are memoranle. Favourite tracks Welcome to the Jungle, Mr Brownstone and Sweet Child o Mine.

Zoals

Better than I expected but not my type I can listen to for so many songs back to back

Unironically good until Axl Rose’s “cat’s tail being stepped on” vocals kick in, every single time. Except when he wails, he’s rather good at that.

Overall, I thought Appetite for Destruction was okay. I can see the appeal, as Axl Rose's falsetto scream works pretty well in "Welcome to the Jungle" but is grating in everything else. Honestly, listening to this album in one sitting is simply not the way to do it: most of the tracks blend together into a shout-and-power-chord slurry. It turns out that I'm a certified Guns N' Roses normie. My favorite tracks were "Welcome to the Jungle," "Paradise City," and "Sweet Child O' Mine," which are, by far, the most popular Guns N' Roses songs, with over morbillion plays combined. But maybe it's a "wisdom of the crowds" thing, or that I've heard those tracks are the ones I've heard most often and have come to appreciate due to familiarity. Though I did also like "Mr. Brownstone" and "My Michelle," which aren't exactly deep cuts or sleeper hits, but are still (arguably) not normie picks. It's a little wild that this was the band's debut album, given that some of its tracks are THE most popular ones in the entire discography (at least, that's what Spotify says).

Welcome to the Jungle is immediate 4/5 Most of the rest of the record is more on 2/5 Settling this with a very uneasy average.

Its arguably great but not for me. Mr brownstones good though

Not particularly my thing, but you can clearly hear they’ve put their heads together and worked hard on this. Reminds me of a mate’s dad who insisted on playing this in his car at every given opportunity.

Grumpy Aerosmith. Or America's Oasis. They serve up regurgitated mashed up comfortable and easily identified rehashes of obvious pre-80s reference points but undeniably have some big tunes. It's a shame this came out just as the CD era had hit full swing. If it had come out in the vinyl era they likely would have trimmed the fat and lost some of really ropey filler.

Groundbreaking album. some mediocre tracks.

Like most bands of their era, GnR are carried by their hits. Fortunately for me, and unfortunately for them, most of those are on this album.

overall not my style of vocal so I definitely wouldnt find myself listening to most of these songs again. however I can recognize that its very well done, they're extremely talented and made a very entertaining album

Här är alla hits samlade. Hade aldrig hört dom andra låtarna, en eller två ganska bra som var nya för mig. Skivan tydligen ha en sida "guns" och en sida "roses". Inget jag märkte. Lyssnade heller inte så noga på texterna. Lite tröttsamt med Axl:s röst. För mig är det inte bättre än en 3:a (men inte alls dåligt).

Knallis rock, æ får det ikke til å være gøy

I like guns n roses. Sucks about the allegations though. I think famous people back then were allergic to being good people. Great music though. Always classics. Just hootin and hollerin. Welcome to the jungle indeed. Why is he whimpering. I honestly don't think he's actually in the jungle. Yeah I mean it's nice it's a good rock album pretty classic. Favourite: Sweet Child O' Mine Least favourite: My Michelle

Det e så knallis rock og æ klare ikke synes det e artig.

As someone who grew up worshiping Nirvana, I had a natural dislike of Guns N' Roses. I hated Axl Rose and saw the band as a misogynistic cock rock band. Whilst I think 'Welcome To The Jungle', 'Paradise City' and 'Sweet Child Of Mine' are overplayed, I knew deep down they're good tracks and know they were better than a lot of the much you got on rock radio at the time. Most bands don't have hits that strong on their debut album! When I finally listened to the album, I discovered that 'Nighttrain', 'Mr. Brownstone' and 'My Michelle' were the real bangers. They have hooks with an edge to them. 'It's So Easy' sounds like an Alice In Chains song if they were around in the eighties. Axl and crew are so much more dangerous than the glam metal bands came before them. Not every song is a hit single though. 'Think About You' is rather generic outside of the colorful jangle riff that colours the chorus. I find myself dipping after we are done with 'Paradise City'. The last handful of songs feel like filler, but the first half is so good that I can forgive it.

++*: Welcome to the Jungle ++: Out ta Get Me, Mr. Brownstone, Paradise City, You're Crazy, Anything Goes +: It's So Easy, My Michelle, Think About You, Rocket Queen +-: Sweet Child o' Mine -: Nightrain 7,6/10

The hits are bangers but the rest feels samey and, honestly, pretty immature. I thought this might blow my mind as an overlooked germ, but I think I paid it the right amount of attention at the time.

2,5

Enjoyed this one more than I expected.

Extra punt voor de hitjes

A couple of tracks had some early grunge vibes. The big songs were alright, have been overplayed and stick out on the album. All together it was pretty fun.

Never listened before. I knew it was a classic, but hard rock is usually not my thing. A pleasant surprise.

Sometimes it’s just nice to know what you’re getting here. Especially when what you’re getting is some good solid glam rock metal.

This was better than I expected! I’m not a fan of metal (in its various guises) but while these songs had some of the usual traits I dislike, including macho lyrics, screaming vocals and show-off guitar playing, I did appreciate the ‘attack’ or urgent feel of the songs and the rhythm guitar in particular. In places it almost sounded like punk rock.

I've never really listened to Guns N' Roses other than their hit songs so I was pleased to hear that they're good head banging heavy metal. It's not a genre I normally listen to a lot but it's good for an occasional dabble. Good solid guitars and drums with screaming vocals. The screaming vocals don't do much for me but again once in a while they're OK.

not as bad as I remembered (I got sick of hearing them in the early 90s), but I couldn't listen to sweet child again. Axl's vocals get a little grating after a while, but some of the tracks are reasonably well structured & interesting. An echo or two of the stones at times

cool

a bunch of legendary tracks, but looking back this feels like a theatrical stereotype of 80s glam pop rock metal-ish waiting. can't fault them for making music that stands the test of time though. 3.5/5
