Appetite for Destruction [PA] by Guns N' Roses

Pros: Amazing guitars, lyrics, voice, drums, etc...
Cons: ...

Probably the first decent rock band I had any affinity for was Guns N’ Roses. Sure I’d lusted my fair share over the likes of Bon Jovi, White Lion, and Cinderella, but Guns N’ Roses was something completely different. They were loud, not...

Pros: It's Lean - Some classic hard rock songs, mainly the singles and couple of others
Cons: It's Mean - Not all the songs smell like roses, a couple of real stinkers

When Guns N' Roses released their debut LP in 1987, the video that had everyone's attention was their first single Welcome to the Jungle. It didn't matter that the music consisted of hard rock guitar licks derivative of veteran rock acts ...

Pros: Some classic metal songs still heard today, nice unique voice, great guitar.
Cons: Some songs that never needed to be written are also found here.

These guys were yet another band that made a bang coming out in the late 80's in that rock/metal filled decade. With their first album Appetite For Destruction in 1987 they hit the music scene hard. Not only does this band have some unique ...

Pros: Some great classic songs from the 80's, a dynamic performance from Axl and co.
Cons: Not quite as good as the following albums

Wow! I got this album in the mail today and sat back and listened to some songs I haven't heard in a long time. I mean, I've heard some drunk guy at Karaoke try and belt it out but not by the original. Guns-N-Roses is a hard rock icon of the 80's with...

Pros: Not sure about that one... ok, Slash is in top form
Cons: Dated, cliche-ridden, terrible lyrics, and worst of all... the parrot

Maybe this is a smaller fish to fry than the Beatles, but this album is essentially a bloated dinosaur. It is on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time (at #61), and the tunes that everybody remembers never seem to go away, particularly ...

Pros: Stay-At-Home-Monkeys
Cons: Anonymous NHs

A friend of mine - let's call him 'Gary', decided five years ago that he was going to make a Guns N' Roses fan out of me even if his life depended on it. And his life did depend on it, because he was in my sniper rifle crosshairs if he made me...

Pros: A few hits ... key word ... few.
Cons: Axl Rose trying to sing.

Was it just me or did anyone else stop to question why or how Guns N’ Roses ever made it into the media spotlight? I know that it’s almost an unwritten law that “rock” singers must resemble crack addicts, heroin addicts or the degenerate offspring of...

Pros: Production, Performance, Slash's Solos, Attitude, Axl's Vocals, & Songwriting.
Cons: None.

In the 1980s, no genre in rock music was as popular or as misunderstood than heavy metal. Known for its big sound, wailing guitar solos, and dangerous image, the genre by the mid-80s was divided into two camps. One was glam-metal bands like Motley ...

Pros: Sweet Child O' Mine, guitar solos...everything else.
Cons: Not a thing.

Do Guns N' Roses really go together? Cookies and milk do, so why can't Guns N' Roses? Here they do. And while I'm at it, Oreo's and milk go together real well, and so do cheese and sandwhiches. Just plain cheese sandwhiches...that has got to be the best. ...

Pros: Some true 80s classics
Cons: Some absolute flops

We all know who the Guns N' Roses are. They are the "badboys" of the 1980s. The hardcore image these guys portray in Appetite for Destruction brought them many fans from all over the world.

So being the hardcore, heavy metal fan that...

Pros: Do you even have to ask?
Cons: What kind of a question is that?

Well, I’ve been feeling a little ill today (and that has to be the understatement of the year) so I thought I would write to try and take my mind off the fact that I feel like I’m about to explode (err…). And what better thing to write about t ...

Pros: just about everything
Cons: Axl Rose is an @sshole, slightly generic despite completing all its goals

MC - hello and welcome to the first annual ‘biggest @sshole in rock history’ award ceremony, here today we will have the award presented to one of our five contestants. The nominations are…. Lights go down, pictures go up on ...

Pros: A perfect record with nary a bad song. One of Rock music's finest hours.
Cons: We now have to live with Axel forever

Considering the countless number of records released over time, it's hard to believe there aren't more "perfect ones" where you love EVERY song; Appetite for Destruction happens to be perfect. Never has the cliche "the whole is great ...

Pros: Raunchy, gritty, squealing, screaming, starving on the streets of the Angel City.
Cons: We've all exceeded the recommended lifetime allowance of Paradise, Jungle, and Child.

Man, I thought I was the only one who knew about this album, then I go to review it and find over 50 other opinions already lingering around. What's up with that? Oh well, maybe I'll be the first to assess my other little-known secret, an obscure album ...

Pros: Axl and the whole group it sounded together and with everything.
Cons: That it caused controversy.

To start this album redefined rock and metal in the 1980's and to this very day. It took it almost a year for this album to climb to number one and when it did all hell broke loose and forever changed the face of music as we know it. The tracks have ...
