Description: Original OZ LP released in 1987 on Geffen Records. Cat: 24148-1. Comes with printed lyric inner bag which is in Excellent condition. Guns N' Roses' debut, Appetite for Destruction was a turning point for hard rock in the late '80s it was a dirty, dangerous, and mean record in a time when heavy metal meant nothing but a good time. On the surface, Guns N' Roses may appear to celebrate the same things as their peers namely, sex, liquor, drugs, and rock & roll but there is a nasty edge to their songs, since Axl Rose doesn't see much fun in the urban sprawl of L.A. and its parade of heavy metal thugs, cheap women, booze, and crime. The music is as nasty as the lyrics, wallowing in a bluesy, metallic hard rock borrowed from Aerosmith, AC/DC, and countless faceless hard rock bands of the early '80s. It's a primal, sleazy sound that adds grit to already grim tales. It also makes Rose's misogyny, fear, and anger hard to dismiss as merely an artistic statement; this is music that sounds lived-in. And that's exactly why Appetite for Destruction is such a powerful record -- not only does Rose have fears, but he also is vulnerable, particularly on the power ballad "Sweet Child O' Mine." Tracks : Welcome to the jungle/ It's so easy/ Nightrain/ Out ta get me/ Mr. Brownstone/ Paradise city/ My Michelle/ Think about you/ Sweet child O' mine/ You're crazy/ Anything goes/ Rocket queen.
