Album Description
120 gram vinyl/original artwork.

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. --Rickey Wright

 Top 5 Greatest rock album of all time! November 23, 2008
This will always be known as one of the greatest rock albums of all time!
One of the best rock albums every November 22, 2008
No reason to give anyone an actual review here. Just go out and listen to the album. Every song is classic; and most of all pure rock-n-roll. If you can come up with a better debut album from any "hard rock" band, please let me know. In the meantime, just listen to this mammoth accomplishment from a foursome of relative douche bags. Amazing what four douche bags can accomplish. Forget their late stuff save November Rain and a few other tracks and GnR Lies the ablum. This is it. It's f'ing amazing stuff. Don't forget it.
One of the greatest debuts in rock history....still potent today... November 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
All the classic songs are here, the real rock and roll anthems (Paradise City, Welcome to the Jungle, and Sweet Child of Mine), and they are really true classics in every sense of the word. They still rock, still seem dangerous, and no matter how many times you spin this album/CD, you won't get tired of it. 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. The followups to this album are great, too, but here is where the powderkeg started. Guns n Roses rule!
classic October 31, 2008
I had this album back when it was released. Lost it some how. Great album!
Great tunes October 6, 2008
In my utterly amateur opinion, these songs sound really good. And I enjoy the emotion behind them.
