today, Appetite for Destruction is without a doubt, the best album I've ever heard. There won't be another Elvis. There won't be another Johnny Cash. There won't be another Guns-n-Roses when they were incredible. That album rocks.

Nothing against Frank, but it isn't the same thing. Amazing, Appetite came out 23 years ago, if it was debuted now it would be a #1 record. I graduated high school in '92, there was definitely some music in '69 that was influential, but not that influential.kritzell wrote: I figured you for a Frank Sinatra kind of guy.![]()

I love the whole record in the sense it is one of the few that I can listen to all the way through, but it is amazing the way WTTJ, SCOM and PC have held up. All 3 are still somewhat regularly played on the radio, and haven't been relegated to classic rock fair like much of that era.Amazing, Appetite came out 23 years ago, if it was debuted now it would be a #1 record.
Axl and Slash are both touring right now, and it is a crying shame it is not together.

I often find myself wondering what could have been if GnR stayed together.

Indeed, but that is just a sampling....Mr. Brownstone is one of, if not the best, songs in my lifetime. Evertything about it is great...you have the drumroll intro, the guitar riff and the melody, it just works. Incredible and timeless song.

That album was bad-ass! I remember buying the tape and having to hide the cover art from my parents. That was also my first concert I ever went to see. GNR opened up for Aerosmith at Riverbend.
