- Featuring unseen archive footage including rare performances previously unavailable on film along with candid reflections on the album by guitarist Izzy Stradlin. This is the ultimate independent critical review of the album which changed the world.
The album was released to little mainstream attention in 1987. It was not until the following year that Appetite for Destruction became a commercial success, after the band had toured and received significant airplay with the singles "Welcome to the Jungle", "Paradise City" and "Sweet Child o' Mine". The album peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200 and became the seventh best-selling album of all time in the United States, as well as the best-selling debut album. With over 30 million copies sold worldwide, it is also one of the best-selling albums of all time.
In a retrospective review for The Rolling Stone Album Guide (2004), Ann Powers wrote that Guns N' Roses "produced a unique mix of different rock values", such as "speed and musicianship, flash and dirt", on an album that "changed hard rock's sensibilities at the time." Stephen Thomas Erlewine also viewed it as a "turning point for hard rock" in his review for AllMusic and felt Rose's singing and songwriting are enhanced by Slash and Stradlin's dual guitar playing, which helped make Appetite for Destruction "the best metal record of the late '80s". According to Jimmy Martin of The Quietus, as the 1980s' best hard rock album, Appetite for Destruction had an "unrefined, punk quality" that marked a "shift away" from hair metal bands commercialized by MTV. According to Billboard magazine's Christa Titus, Appetite for Destruction appealed to rock music's various listeners because the band incorporated "metal's forceful playing, punk rock's rebellious themes, glam metal's aesthetic, and bluesy guitar riffs that appealed to purists." Russell Hall, the features writer for Gibson's online publication, said the album "injected a much-needed dose of ’70s-style rebellion into the frothy pop metal of the '80s", by "combining the swagger of late '60s Stones and vintage Aerosmith with the menace of punk and a trash-glam aesthetic".

I swear I won't ever get over this band, Axl Rose will have my heart till the end of the world
I first heard this band when I was 17 years old......I'm 52 now and still listen to them every day!
I heard them when I was 14. I'm 49 and listen everyday too. No band compares to them.
I grad in 87. Partied hard to the album of the same year.
Just saw them in Glasgow UK fucking awesome!!
Absolutely *****Likewise***And, even after over thirty years down the line from their debut, The Legacy of this Unique, Supremely Great Rock 'n Roll Band Rules, and still keeps inspiring the generations to come!
Similar with me, 47. As a kid I did drugs while listening, nowadays I listen to them while I go jogging. 😂
In the past 50 years, there is NO rock band that generated as much excitement and fan appeal as Guns N' Roses when they were huge in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Easily the biggest rock band in the world since the Rolling Stones and Beatles in the 1960s. The fact that they had such a heavy sound, but were still able to transcend heavy metal and gain such a huge following is a measure of their greatness. I'm glad they finally got back together, but I wish they had done it a long time ago. They could have created so much amazing music over the past 20 - 30 years.
Totally agree 💯
Yep and then they complete blew it by being the band that released the Use Your Illusion albums :(
@@mikesmouse7779Nothing wrong with ambition. Those albums were epic if not as concise and electric as the debut.
@@Dreyno Naaa, they weren't epic, they were disappointing. Everything great about them was lost.
@@mikesmouse7779 You found them disappointing but they became one of the biggest bands in the world at that time so obviously yours is a minority opinion.
Steven Adler, "not the greatest drummer in the world"? Pshaw there! He was a MASTER of the small kit, far better than came later. 'nuff said.
Steven had natural rhythm and swing, when Izzy left the band not long after Steven got booted out, he said the rest where still doing drugs, I was clean and the band just didn’t sound the same without Steven, but also understood they had to get another drummer in as the two albums were behind two years.
Phenomenal Drummer, the pop on that record is incredible
They still haven't found any drummer as good as him
Guys, in my opinion, Matt did more than a great job with Guns 'n Roses, i absolutely loved the Use your Illusions tour...
I Thai k it was the dope that got him canned. And there are far better drummers around for shore.
Axl Rose is a phenomenon, he might have been messed up from his upbringing, but he is highly intelligent, and very eloquent when he speaks. His voice is totally unique, and GNR is like no other rock band, they are the greatest rock band ever without a doubt.
Axl has talent but he also has the Michael Jackson disease of excessive plastic surgery, 🤦🏻♂️🤣
Also, he IS the one who made GNR who they are today. If he had not sacrificed his voice, they wouldn't have grown so much. If he hadn't stopped doing drugs before everyone else and held the end on this matter, they would have died. Slash and Duff wanted to make songs about sex, drugs, and alcohol only. If they had their wishes fulfilled GNR would have released 10 different appetites for destruction and the band would've died out just like Motley Crue did. Axl composed November Rain in 86 and had to spend years convincing the rest of the band to release it.
His though personality and dictatorship was what kept the band together and the gears turning. If it weren't for that, Use Your Illusion would have never been released, along with songs like Sweet Child o' Mine and many other of their biggest hits, their over the top clips that exploded MTV would never have happened, the band would have never made history like they did, and Slash and Duff would've OD'ed.
Amen!
AC DC is greatest with Bon or Brian. GNR is great but too inconsistent. Only 2 good albums.
I wish they had a clue on how to set up a drum kit 😂
Growing up with sexual abuse myself i have always understood his anger issues. One of the best bands ever, and what a voice that I understood and still do.
sweet child o mine, is a song about rescuing a child rape victim, someone finds the child in a cellar being kept a prisoner, the guitar solo is the child terrified that going up the stairs will bring more violence to them, the note exchange between the guitar and you is meant to describe a child trying to find the courage to leave rape imprisonment by walking up the stairs out of his prison. based on a real event. they are good people, izzy straddlin, not so much, he was mde to fuckoff.
I think we've all been sexually abused. So it seems.
Slash said that Axl is the best vocalist he ever worked with.
@@nahiyanalamgir7056yeah weiland had half the talent with the same temperment
Izzy is not in this documentary. There’s two short clips of interviews from back in the day. I fell for it and clicked on this thinking he was actually going to be on it. I should’ve known, though. Just a heads up for anyone who is thinking about doing the same. They should remove his name from the title and description.
Izzy was the band....
Everyone says Slash and Axl were the formula, but Izzy was secret ingredient that made the band magical. Never was the same without Izzy, and once Axl added the backup singers and biker shorts it was RIP. What a great band they were as Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Steven 🔥
Don't agree, Steven was the secret ingredient and once he left that was it.
@@minners71 Go listen to Izzys 12 solo albums... The rest of the lot dont have that many combined. It is and has the core sound of GNR... IZZY RULES
@@minners71Duff's on record saying they kept trying to keep Adler as punk as possible, as he had a tendency to going total metal. However, I totally agree his playing was a big part of the sound.
@@johnanderson60 I don't think quantity has anything to do with it. I do agree that Izzy is one hell of a song machine!
@@Novotny72 Not surprising since Adler is a huge Kiss fan haha
History will show this is the greatest rock album of all time
Guns N' Roses definitely has to be in that discussion. Appetite For Destruction has to be the greatest rock album of all time. Just an AMAZING record that is still underappreciated to this day, despite its mega success. The "heavy metal" label has hurt Guns N' Roses a little, but they are SO much more than that.
@@jameshutchinson568 They are so much more, as shown again in the UUI double album where between the two one could easily find 12-15 brilliant tracks. Tracks that are also greatly under-appreciated. The likes of Estranged is a masterpiece although owing the length of the track rarely played on the public airways.
@@joeduffy3309 Estranged is one of my favorite G&R songs. Really underappreciated.
Eu concordo
@@joeduffy3309 12-15 brilliant tracks 😂👌
Appetite was an unbelievably amazing album. Start to finish.
weakest link was anything goes, but id take that over songs like my world anyday
I'm going on 70 and have gotten into the late 60's, 70's music but really rocked to Guns N Roses from their beginnings. Had the privilege of seeing them in 87 I believe at a local bar with a group of co-workers from the hospital I worked at. They were just getting going but I knew at the time, they were going to kick some hinny in the music world. I briefly had a conversation with Axil letting him know they were awesome. I was like 10 feet away from them playing. I wish I would have gotten their autographs.
Izzy and Steven gave them a great groove/swing call it what you like ,and they never sounded as good after those 2 left, 1 great album, the rest is crap
Did anyone else get annoyed by that music critic. He really loves the sound of his own voice.
The one who’s teething are to big for his mouth?
1st album i bought was appetite for destruction. i was 14. I'm now 50! I still love that album! I saw them live in 2018 in south Africa. I was so disappointed. We are all old and tired. Especially my beautiful axle. They are still a rock powerhouse make no mistake. They defined my youth, and made me a headbanger for life! I will always be a loyal fan, no matter!
Axl rose is highly intelligent individual. When this record came out, it blew everybody away. It was unreal. And everything else that followed by this band was nothing but great. The lyrics to use your illusions 1 and 2 are just phenomenal.
Even listening to Chinese Democracy, if you ignore the millions of dollars and time sink put into it, and the fact that its not really Guns & Roses, there are some good songs on there and Axle explores different genres, I look at it like an Axle Rose side project....
@@oldboy4271 he did hit some high notes and there was very complicated parts in that record. The dude is just remarkable. Love him or hate him, he just does it and it works. I wish I could be that talented. I can barely tie my shoes, let alone make noodles right.
@@minn-dakturfmaintenance684 Right on, I just wish we had more records from them but he and the band are legends and big part of my childhood right up to adulthood!
@@oldboy4271 oh definitely I’m with you in all that. I agree 100%. My life at times were songs he wrote, the feelings, situations all of it. Was a lot to due with Guns N Roses. I’ve learned a lot thru his music and lyrics and his interviews
@@minn-dakturfmaintenance684 Right on!
I bought this album when it came out. I was only 8 years old and my mum took me to the shop to buy the cassette. I still remember buying it. It was the second album I ever bought (after michael jacksons Bad)
It came out on my tenth birthday ( 7-21-1987 ) I got it as a present, this album blew me away from the first note!
It was my first. I saved for weeks to buy it.
@@volbeatnl I was also born in 1977 and I remember when Appetite came out. The girl that lived across the street from me,Jen, was 13 years old and she had this red and white long sleeve where the sleeves were red and the rest of the shirt was white. It’s was a G N R shirt. It was the GNR cross with the band members on it as skeleton heads. I had the biggest crush on her , I liked girls at a young age. I remember that summer everyone was playing that album in my neighborhood. One of my other neighbors was 16-17 years old and he would be blasting this album out of his Trans-Am. The 80’s were definitely a wonderful time. All my older friends always say that the 80’s were the best. But I guess whatever era it was where you first started getting laid and partying was the best decade. It was the 90’s for me. Graduated high school in 1995 and went to college that same year
Same for me. Was born in 81 and I remember playing my NES, The Legend of Zelda, and listening to Appetite for Destruction on cassette religiously. Danced to the Paradise City video on MTV. Good times.
@@Epic_C yes me too. but I had Link with the golden cartridge
Ack! Yes it was a SUPER ambitious album but I like Use Your Illusion (particularly their best tracks) as good as Appetite for Desctruction.
I'm always curious how a band gets so popular over Seas with the language barrier. Pretty cool
17:49 "I don't think Axl Rose was a very nice bloke" This video history is full on hate for Axl Rose. it's littered with anti-Axl quotes by people who don't even know him, nor even met him in real life. This whole video is a joke and a travesty. So much hate on Axl.
There was certainly a paradigm shift in hard rock when this album came out. Very few bands had this effect on music in their career. Of course the same happened when the whole grunge/alternative movement hit in the early 90's, where every record company was scrambling to sign the next Nirvana type band or whoever, Guns never lost their popularity like most of their peers from the 80's did. A lot had to do with Axl and his outlandish and polarizing nature of course, but still, the music is what set them apart. Would have been interesting to see what they might have come out with had the original band stayed together back then.
Chinese democracy would have come out in the mid 90s and it would have been a waaaaay different album not to mentions what albums we could have had after that…I was legit sad when this band broke up
GNR was to the 80s what The Beatles and The Stones were to the 60s. Revolutionary band that forever changed rock and roll. I liked the bands of the 90s like AIC and STP but they kind of ushered in the grunge alternative rock era. GNR was the last true rock n roll band IMO.
Appetite is still reckless and timeless
This is a tabloid documentary that doesn't reflect the truth but uses every cliche to mythologize the band. Get in the Ring off UYI1 was written because of this type of mischaractetisation. Disappointing.
The blond woman was so cliche.
Izzy leaving was the end..his songwriting was essential to them and gave the songs a cool element that was missing after he left..he WAS the meat and potatoes of Gnr. That band is the most disappointing thing for me in my music lifetime..the very definition of flash in a pan, they really could have been the next Zeppelin or Stones such a disappointment. I saw them open for INXS in 87 and i just knew they were gonna own the scene..and they did briefly.
For all the praise Izzy gets I think his solo albums are mostly rubbish and he's overrated. Songs he wrote on his own are average at best. Others mostly Axl and Slash elevated his rather basic ideas and turned them into quality songs..
Steven Adler drumming is iconic on AFD and the early days beforehand.
If anyone else was on the stool it would never have sounded better than Steven.
And then he got hooked and cooked. It’s to bad.
@@Wesmancan yes
Without adler n izzy isn't gnr
Axl Rose is arguably the greatest frontman of all time (he certainly is to me). Who cares if he's "not a very nice bloke"?
Matt is a more sophisticated drummer sure but Steven had a sound of his own and it had a massive impact on their early sound.
Agree 100%. Steven had what I call "groove" for lack of a better term (I am not a drummer). Even when he joined them onstage in 2016, you could hear the difference in the sound. He is not the greatest drummer on earth, but man what a fit for that band.
So many corny/cliche statements like "Axl is clearly not a nice guy with whom you would like to sit down and have a drink".
Saw them live 4 times back then. Three shows were pure hard drive with a touch of greatness!!! Then the last show was the Metallica & GNR Tour and they were 2 hours late and Axl couldn’t sing the music suffered and you could tell the end was near. It wasn’t meant to go forever but when it did go it was so much fun!
That's amazing! Thanks for sharing
I saw this show in Las Cruces NM August of 1991 I think it was.... GnR was headlining. They were also 2 hours late and for this reason Metallica stole the show
They rocked Aggie stadium for almost 3 hours so by the time GnR took the stage we (the thousand of fans ) we're wore out and wasted from the heat the libations and Metallica.. Axl through a fit and walked of stage told us all to fuck off. LoL But we screamed and hollered until he finally came back. After the show Axl got into an altercation with Mike Patton vocalist for Faith No More who quit the rest of the tour that night. It was the best concert I've ever been too. I love G n R and Metallica til I die!!. Those are 2 of the greatest.
I saw them with Metallica It was one of the best shows I’ve ever experienced. To this day
GNR Set the world on fire when Welcome to the jungle finally got played on MTV .The album had sold 200 thousand copies and in 2 weeks after. They got on MTV the album had sold upwards to 2 million. Guns N Roses came along and made rock n roll DANGEROUS AGAIN
@@sea-dawg Sweet child of mine was amazing and MTV was playing it every 30 minutes it did have a huge impact on gnr and the way they took the rock and roll scene like no other band before or since. But welcome to the jungle did get gnr the attention they needed and when it was played on MTV the album went through the roof
Took David Geffin calling in a favour as one of the big MTV carriers was pushing to keep them off the channel. Also took a big name in Geffin's organization to stake his rep to Geffin to ask him to use the influence and get them on MTV. GNR had a great sound but needed the propper exposure
God so much just wrong and misinformation in here it is unbelievable.
Matt Sorum's drum sound was nowhere near Adler's, drugs or no.
I remember seeing that Axl stage dive in one of their videos over and over again when I was a kid but I never noticed how committed he was to the dive. He went in like it was water and nor concrete out there.
As far as cameras at shows go I almost don't even want to go to one any more. All you can see is a bunch of assholes holding up their phones so they can watch it later. Watch it now dumbest, I saw A Perfect Circle a few years ago and Maynard made everyone put up their phones for the whole show under the threat of getting kicked out. Only one person did. Great show. Felt like it was 2003 again. I could see the band without having to look through a sea of black rectangles.
Yeah, that phones at rock show's thing...pretty lame. I saw Slash and the Conspirators a few years back, I was flying high again. The sea of cell phones glowing about was wierd. Oh well, I just ignored and wiggled my way up to the front to watch him RIP an absolutely from the gut hypnotic solo. He broke a string and kept going, wouldn't stop, even when the roadie's were trying to bring him another Les Paul he was like " Screw it!".
The neat little fungus I had digested before the show really started going to town right at that point.
Killer.
👍🏻👏👏👏la gente e’ idiota oggi!!!!
Grew up in the 80s myself and there wasn't any awareness about that kind of traumas someone like Axl had to go through. It is ( and was then) sickening to watch people like him showing such obvious symptoms (from drugs to aggressions, paranoia, promiscuity etcetc )and everybody just complained about his behaviour or took advantage. I knew people then who suffered that kind of traumas and showed much of the same symptoms and they where just good to gossip about or hate them. I'll always feel sorry for him.
If you look at him now it was clearly a symptom of what happened to him. Now he’s got something close to a family and is a lot nicer and calmer
You feel sorry for him ... sure he will appreciate it ...
@@dannyx2197 Well right, he would spit at my compassion, comes from someone who was just a young girl back then, far away with no idea what's going on, who never met him. And he also would spit at my fury about all that, because the more I hear about, the more that narrative stinks a bit imo.
The Best Rock Album of All Time....
I have to say, as a 50 year old man having really liked the songs Paradise City and Sweet Child O' Mine over the years - I had NEVER listened to Appetite For Destruction in my entire life until 3 days ago. It has been on non-stop ever since and I feel blessed that I got to experience it as a 'new' album at this point in my life. Loved it that much I even bought the T-Shirt. Literally!
It is a mind blower of an album if you hadn't heard any of the songs before. Great album.
We had weed too in the 80's😂
This is a horrible biography of GNR!
Busy reading 3 books on the Guns....I always thought it was Axl that was the problem but no! Steven Adler was the first to start playing up because of his addictions and couldn't play his drums, then Izzy Stradlin decided it was all becoming too much and bailed out. Then Slash and his addiction finished the relationship between him and Axl. And thru it all Axl was the one who kept his Dream together. Rock on Axl your Awesome and an icon.🤪🎸🇬🇧
I got the Appetite album when it first came out in its original LP cover, which was banned in favour of the now common cross on a black background design. saw them live for the first time at Donington Monsters of Rock Festival.
bro that thing is worth a lot of money, like 4 figures.
don't ever sell it.
All these documentaries are over ten years old. R.i.p. Malcolm Dome (the bald music journalist interviewed) AFD was the perfect debut album. I said it back in '88, "They won't top this with their next album"
No but illusions was a damn good follow up. And lies was decent to.
I love when I am provided the opportunity to say "If you don't like GnR, then we probably shouldn't be friends ". I've said the same of other bands, but the impact of GnR is something quite else. 😘
Awesome and ditto
@Axlroseofficialchat.. awesome and ditto
I'm almost 45 and Axl and GNR is a once in a lifetime thing. An amazing and truly brilliant artist! Appetite was real as it gets amazing, represented us street kids and how we grew up across the country and use your illusion 1 and 2 were fn art and good music, let not forget lies.
I was lucky enough to experience two of these things once I a lifetime things, GNR and Nirvana! You can't put this shit into words folks, if you know them you know! If not sorry you missed it, it was and still is the realist and truest shit I've experienced next to life.
Just enjoy the music myself
My 3 favourite albums of all time are appetite and both illusion albums, all 3 albums are amazing.
Is it just me or is Malcom ( the bald guy) the only one that seemed to know what he was talking about. Those two other guys are clueless and annoying.
Appetite for destruction was one of the most influential hard rock/metal album.
Would love to see these guys say all of that to his face. This isn't a documentary, this is just a collective bitching about why they don't like the singer? Some documentary 🙄😂
WHY OMMIT the fact that Alan Niven and the rest of the band tried to FIRE AXL MANY TIMES which led to him asking them to sign over the rights to the name of the band (as self preservation). They couldve walked away and NOT sign it but apparently too high and drugged up to make an informed decision at the time. Also, Axl didnt do as much drugs as the other members. In fact, when they opened for the Rolling Stones, Axl called his band out for playing too much with Mr Brownstone which both Duff and Slash admitted really made them angry at Axl. Then, there was the cover song Sympathy for the Devil which as Slash (?) declared as the “sound of the band breaking up”.
*This was made in 2005. Axl, Slash, Duff are back to touring again now.
Worst documentary I've ever seen.
This band really is the only group to take up the mantle of Led Zep.
They were totally original and never once tried to be Zeppelin. Guns and Roses are in class of their own. Just fantastic.
I was 18 i think when use your illusion came out. I HATED them. To this day I won't keep them in my music collection. My GN'R catalog is short but sweet. Appetite for destruction, GN'R Lies and a really amazing quality CD from their 1987 appearance at the Ritz in NYC that MTV aired and a bootleg my high school GF gave me in 1989 that had half the songs on Use your illusion, but played by the original 5 and without all the over-dubs and all that. Quality is eh, so-so. But it definitely let me hear what coulda been instead of what we actually got. November Rain with just Axl and a piano.....KILLER ! And that's all. GN'R were 5 delinquents. Axl, Izzy, Steven, Slash and Duff. No offence to any of the other guys who played but they just aren't Guns N' Roses. The 90's musta been poetic justice for everyone who hated Axl. Lol. He literally had one of those "Here today. Gone tomorrow. Remembered as a douchebag" moments. Ahahahaha.
I can't even begin to guess how many gigs I've seen in person or on TV (mainly tv) but live at the ritz 1988 will always be my favourite ! I'd never ever seen anything like it in my life I thought Izzy Stradlin was the coolest guy on the planet
100% agree saw it on Christmas Eve in UK blew me away and still does ! Such good musicians individually together such power ❤
They were the shit. Changed music and hard rock got rid over all those poser bands in LA and killed em showin there music and style were the real deal from the street all tough and real. They were at there best be4 Izzy and Steven left. 85 to 90 at there best
What an album this is... Guns 'n Roses are still selling out stadiums based on this one album from 35 years ago. Yes, there's good songs on Lies and on the Illusion records (quite a few written for Appetite but no space for them... I.e. November Rain) , but let's face it, the myth of Guns N' Roses is built on one album, Appetite for Destruction. Just shows how fuckin' epic it is, quite possibly the best ever written. That's also my only problem with the band... They have never ever been able to come close to this brilliance again...essentially this makes them a bit of a one hit wonder...
The best debut album of all time in the time of Bon Jovi and poison
BOSTON
I agree with the fellow who said he was glad they made the two Use Your Illusion albums. There are so many great songs and hidden gems there, and it would have been a shame if they never saw the light of day.
At their peak nobody could touch Guns N’ Roses… In my opinion the greatest rock band in the world! Axl with Tom Petty singing Free Falling is ridiculously good. Go watch so you can see what a real rock star vocalist performs like in his prime… 👍🏻
Afff people speak of Axl Rose as of they were his close friends....a bunch of nothings trying to be on camera and make money by talking about him. Pathethic
Musically not much separates Guns N' Roses from what AC/DC and Motley Crue had done, but it was that gritty punk inspired edge that distinguished them from the hair metal masses.
My first experience of GnR was a friend saying he got a vhs of a band from L.A. They weren't like anything I had seen or heard up to that point. They weren't like Zeppelin, they weren't like Slayer. I looked, but I couldn't find an album anywhere. I think it was called Live At The Roxy. A couple of months later, the Welcome to the Jungle video came out on Much Music and the record store finally started carrying Appetite.
Axl, the Boudica of Rock n Roll. Gingers are fierce folk, lol
I hated hair bands like poison but man GnR was cut from another cloth. Best 80s hair rock band for sure.
Steven, Axl and Duff used spray in their hair for sure, but they were not a hair band, they were a Hard Rock band.
Appetite for destruction is hands down the best hard rock albumn of all time in my opinion. Not my favorite band but the albumn is perfect in every way. They sort of fit in between all the glam 80s stuff n heavy metal. It became its own entity. The attitude. All about attitude folks. Fresh attitude. Not regugitated attitude. Whoever produced this albumn is a fucking saint. After lies....the band lost it. Just my opinion. The use your illusions were ok but the knocking on heavens door bs killed them. Getting rid of steven adler killed em.
I find it hard to believe that Slash and Duff signed any legally binding document without lawyers present, being a part of one of the most successful bands in the world. Sure, Axl had a lot of flaws, but I don't buy into the narrative that the others were some kind of "victims" when they signed over the rights to the band name to him.
Bottom line it was absolutely roses iron fist that broke up the band
WTF are UK doing a doc for GNR anyway?
Use Your Illusions were great albums
Last performance of Steven Adler as GnR drummer...0:49 - 03:34. He was the best drummer for GnR. AfAfter this show, the way they treated Steve was not good and fair.
I was in High School when Appetite for Destruction dropped like a 💣! We hadn’t had a badass band like them and AC/DC because I personally couldn’t compare to Motley Crue(Milli Vanilli Crue) or Ratt, Def Leppard were all cool bands from that time but definitely something cool about G-N-R! I saw them Live in New Orleans in 1992 with Metallica! What a show of two Mega-Headliners!#🎸🔥⚡️✨😈🤘🏻
Same here. Great times!
I’m glad Michael Dome was in this because he’s the only critic in this doco that has a clue what he’s talking about with the band , the other too guys look like they got there stories from other docos
2 is spelled 'Two'.
"Too" means 'also'
Best band in the entire world, in the entire universe!
My belief is Axl Rose 🌹 & Guns 'N" Roses is just one kick ass heavy metal/hard rock music 🎶 🎵 band that is more bigger than other bands like The Beatles, Elvis Presley,Jim Morrison & The Doors 🚪 & Led Zeppelin.Slash really plays a really bad guitar 🎸 🎶 too.There's absolutely 💯 % NO doubt this band is still really awesome & really very cool band to this date & day too!.
Axl is easily top 3 voices in rock n roll history
If every front man in music HISTORY,had a million feet they couldn't fill one of AXL'S shoes.
Thank you.
Not sure why he keeps bagging on Adler. He was a great drummer for the style he was playing.
Appetite for Destruction is forever destined to always exsit, one of those "greatest human creations ever" type of things.
Izzy is the best, as a whole-it’s all of them together that make the band
Guns were never glam metal. Ever
I agree on the need for two double albums, otherwise the long tracks would not be there. Coma is still one of my favorites that no one knows
Never has a band so promising fallen apart so quickly , they should have put the nail in it by 92 , it was clearly over by then !
Listening to these commenters forecast GnR demise back then meanwhile massively successful tour 2023 just ended lol. Especially skinny dark haired dude. He just doesn't like gnr, especially axl, and it shows
"the fact he was allegedly (oxymoron) this mysoginistic, violent , homophobe" why don't you put him really down. You don't even know him. Never met him but you are casting judgments on the man.. What if someone did that to you ?
08:57 Axl Rose is not a bloke you want to sit down and have a drink with...obviously he is a very messed up guy....he's not a very nice person.... Is this an Axl Rose hate video?????
ガンズ・アンド・ローゼズをやるためだけにこの世に生を受けたアクセルローズ
IZZY was the soul of G n R
Axl is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED ! THE BEST FRONT MAN IN HISTORY......
Use your illusion albums are masterpieces, all songs, 100%. dont know what that bloke is smoking
It’s true!....G&R do have a wide appeal. I’m not into heavy rock or metal, because I like a tune to my music. G&R give you fantastic heavy metal, with tunes. Slash is a fantastic lead guitarist and creates these most memorable and sing to tunes, and when Axl isn’t screeching out the thrashy bits, he actually had a very good singing voice. A very talented bunch of guys, good looking, talented and appealing to a massively diverse audience!
Compare to thrash metal and hardcore punk, hard rock/heavy metal is more appealing heavier sub-genre of rock n' roll. Normal music listener would like to listen to Guns N' Roses than to Slayer.
Erin Everly ain't one of his childhood lover, Missy Blondie.
Axl Rose might be the best there ever was!
Kinda like experiencing sex, heroin and LSD when your 15 at the same time for the first time
woah that would be crazy lol, sex on acid is nuts.
also, when u do heroin on acid u don't feel it.
at least snorting it lol I know from experience.
I never used needles to get high though.
I've had IV Ativan before due to insane panic attacks
Johnathon Wingate jeez he held so much hate for Axl its quite embarrasing listening to him and all his untrue so called information he was giving out
I think it’s hilarious that on every documentary about a rock band I see the comments are damn near the same,only the name changes,I didn’t realize so many bands changed rock forever lMFAO
66 and still love G and R ❤️ with Izzy sounded so powerful 😊
What a misleading title! Sure Axl is Axl and he's great when he's "on". Prazing Izzy is way overstated in this video musically, people wise maybe not....he just doesn't have that inept and indepth musicality of Slash or ability to play it. Take 15 highlights musically on Appetite and see where it goes.
Whilst you don't answer the real question. What makes a person to listen to a song or music? If there are three single factors for Guns it's Axl's voice and words...and Slash's playing. As fucked up as he may have been a lot of the early years, Slash always delivered, and still does today
The snarky no nothing should have been cut out of the documentary. Clown
I remember getting this album for my 11th birthday in 88. Steven Adler was one of my first crushes. I loved Guns N’ Roses. I still haven’t seen them live it’s on bucket list for sure. I can’t believe they are still rocking out.
@36:03 "the rock ballad is normally crass, clumsy and boring" WTF is he on about the rock ballad is the best form of ballad there is.
The sweet child of mine song is beyond legendary,axl remains a royal 🤴 king .
The original line up was close to heaven seen em many times killer
