Appetite For Destruction [VINYL]

This is possibly the best album that I've ever listened to, its a hard rocking, guns blazing, fast and furious thrill ride the album doesn't have a single bad track on it whilst containing plenty of amazing ones, listening to this makes me wish that I had been there in the late 80s, able to experience Guns n Roses at their absolute domination. If you asked me to pick my favourite song from the album you'd probably get a different answer each time since there are so many top notch efforts and they are all vying for the top spot but my favourites include sweet child o mine, paradise city, nightrain and mr brownstone. If you're at all a fan or rock and/or roll then you probably already own this, if you're not then I strongly recommend that you get your hands on it as soon as possible. The only negative thing I can say about this album is that its good enough to leave you thinking "where do I go now?" after you've finished, in fact the next album you listen to might indeed sound a little lacklustre when measured up against this beast.

Way back in 1987 I was an impressionable 15 year old and I heard the opening bars of Welcome to the Jungle and became irrevocably lost. Here in 2024, I'm now 52 and I have still yet to hear anything that surpasses this record. Unless you've been a very determined hermit, you've heard at least one track of this album (I'll put good money on it being either Welcome to the Jungle or Sweet Child O'mine). No other record sums up the wild excesses of the Sunset Strip in the late eighties than this (Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood and Skid Row's Skid Row come close). Over the years, I've had this on cassette, CD and of course streaming but never on vinyl - until now. This is an essential record to have in your collection and it's up there with Fleetwood Mac's Rumours or the Beach Boy's Pet Sounds for me.

Good album but record had a few marks on it. Played OK so happy

Best debut album ever. Guns N' Roses are the greatest rock band ever to have lived, with Axl Rose's insane, incredible vocals, Slash's amazing guitar solo's just make him the best guitar player in the universe, Steven Addler's mind blowing drum playing, Duff McKagan amazing bass player and Izzy Stradlin's awesome guitar work. If you are new with Gun's N Roses this is the album to buy, with ever single track just blowing your mind, you won't regret it. With most album reviews ive done i would usually pick my favorite track but ever track is equally amazing so i don't have a favorite they are all to hard to rank. Axl Rose+Slash+McKagan+Addler+Stradlin= Greatest Heavy Metal/Hard Rock Group Ever

Loved this album for years, wanted to hear it on vinyl. The copy I bought was second hand at a good price. Was a bit dirty due to travel, but plays fine.

Arrived in good condition

This album is 25 years old yet still sounds as fresh and as vital to me now, than it did in the mid-90's when I first heard it. You've probably all heard "Sweet Child O Mine", "Paradise City" and "Welcome to the Jungle" so know how good GNR were. The rest of the album is more of the same, with not one track being deemed filler. "Nightrain" is my personal standout track, but you're hard pushed to choose. If you like metal and rock music and you havn't heard Appetite for Destruction then you are doing yourself a massive diservice. I don't see this album getting old for at least another 25 years. Never bettered, and no other bands come close (although Crashdiet's - Rest In Sleaze was almost there).

Great GNR and so good to have on vinyl.

Le vinyle était bien protégé et il est de qualité, je suis très satisfait de mon achat.

No, non sono arrivato a questo capolavoro con oltre 30 anni di ritardo.... ho solo fatto un opera di carità verso la mia ormai logora copia in vinile, usurata dal tempo e soprattutto dall'uso. Si perchè questo è un album che finisce spesso ancora oggi sul mio piatto (e da adesso lettore cd) malgrado non mi manchi la roba da ascoltare. Perchè questo album è davvero un capolavoro, parola abusatissima da recensori professionisti e meno. Perchè ha riportato al centro dell'attenzione il rock and roll puro e selvaggio, erede legittimo del sound di band come le New York Dolls e i primi Aerosmith. Poche balle, tra il 1987 (anno di uscita di questo album) e il 1991 (anno dei due volumi di Use your Illusion) i Guns And Roses erano la più grande band al mondo. E meritatamente. Hanno infuso un energia animale e primordiale che nell'epoca dell'hair rock si era un pò persa. Venivano da Los Angeles i Guns, la patria del glam rock; e se di quella scena hanno copiato furbescamente il look, beh il sound era diverso, cavolo se era diverso. E lo avevamo capito in tanti, direi tutti. In quel periodo non importava cosa ascoltavi, potevi anche sbavare per George Michael, per Prince o per gli U2 come per l'hardcore (come il sottoscritto) che i Guns li conoscevi e li ascoltavi, magari di nascosto ma li ascoltavi eccome. E credo che molti continuano a fare come me...ogni tanto sto disco lo si mette su, magari quando il resto della famiglia è fuori casa, si alza consistentemente il volume, magari si arriva ad imbracciare una scopa come chitarra e a quel punto "benvenuti nella giungla".... Va beh non ho speso una parola sui brani del disco...ma era forse necessario?

Came out perfectly, nothing was wrong with the product, the packaging was sealed perfectly and it was easy to use, gifted it to my dad as an early birthday present and he was very happy!

PERFEITO, igual o que ganhei de um amigo nos anos 90.

Guns and roses are always going to be my favourite. The cd was packed well and came on tiem love it.
