You are so complete package: I’m an Engenier and professional musician, and your tech questions as well as your music questions are so satisfying. Thanks man for the amazing work you’re doing, in name of hundreds of thousands of us metal heads and musicians from the 80s.

    Agreed. Appetite inspired me to play bass , and I've been playing ever since. I don't think duff's bass tone was nearly as good on illusions. His live sound got worse over the years, and I have to say , so did his playing - often sloppy probably due to alcohol. I think his playing got better again with velvet revolver

    As for the Slash amp(s)100W 1959T (or 1959 amp) SIR (Tim Caswell #39) and a second amp SIR (Frank Levi #36) both were used. George Lynch rented #39 for touring and had not returned it yet, George even attempted to purchase #39 beforehand. So instead #36, it was substituted unknowingly onto AFD studio even though Slash requested #39 for the AFD sessions that had already started. Soon #39 arrived even though a second person had rented it after George. Slash tried to take ownership #39 by claiming it was stolen to SIR and insurance was ready to pay for it. Then a tech returned #39 to SIR by accident and the plot was foiled. Someone has the #39 amp, as the demand and fame for it were through the roof and never rented again. It is out there.

    I was born in 74....this was the one of the few times in my life I got to see a seismic shift in rock and was old enough to enjoy it. they talk about hysteria being the Thriller of rock albums...maybe as far as hits, but appetite was the thriller as far as its effect on the music industry, and youth culture at the time ...I mean how many Axl roses did you see Halloween of 88....they changed the game with this album perhaps more than anything from the beatles era to the nirvana era....also sounds less dated than possibly any other album from that era...because it wasn't punk...it wasn't glam,,,it wasn't thrash...it wasn't grunge.....it was about as pure rock and roll as an album could be....so many great memories from my youth this album has been a part of.

The bad thing is that technology has made it to where anyone can write, record, and release music. Double edged sword, and with less and less "gate keepers". It's just a shame the industry has the reputation of screwing bands so viciously that we're at the point we're at now. That's why we'll never have another GNR, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Nirvana etc.

ITunes should have never existed as well. We should be buying music files either straight from the band's website or from their label's website. Why the hell would they let someone else sell their products they invested in, bands, from anyone other than them? Why let someone take a cut, ITunes, when labels could have bought Napster and the tech, sold it themselves, and made every penny? They were scared of change.

    I imagine the studios did not know what to do with GNR at the time. Everything on the Strip from Motley Crue, Poison, Warrant, Pretty Boy Floyd (lol), was either contrived, bubblegum, or incredibly stupid. Regardless of what came later, the songs on Appetite are edgier and darker than their contemporaries and focus on addiction, insecurity, narcissism, and/or the general anxiety and uncertainty of “trying to make it.” Songs like Nighttrain, Mr. Brownstone, My Michelle, Rocket Queen, etc…

He was asked to copy it as best he could because of the popularity of that amp. That's the legend of the SIR #39 ( Caswell) and #36 (Levi). Google search will yield the exact info. Lynch was hot for this amp too.

    Slash has always said that Izzy refused to double track his parts, so if you were wearing headphones, the mix would be lopsided. So Slash said he went back in and doubled all Izzy's parts on the other side to balance it. So pretty much everything you hear on Appetite is Slash.

I also played in bands where of course welcome to the jungle is ALWAYS on the set list of cover you first start doing when jamming with new people early on, and having learn Slash/Izzy part i'm always surprised at how busy Izzy is and the amount of part you attribute to slash playing that's actually him

I'm just curious though, have ever cranked the LA band Circle Jerks 1987 release VI, some in your face excellent aggressive rock stuff, not for solos, but the songs kick major ass, some would call it punk rock, but it is really well recorded with great production, anathema to "punk rock". It was on Combat, and I recall you interviewed people that put work for that label. Just curious..

I grew up listening to most every band you have done an interview with and it is very cool to hear the producers talk about their experience with the bands. It is very clear how much a producer plays a part in how much better (or worse) a bands song can sound. Cheap Trick is a great example of this if you ever hear a demo of surrender vs. the version that made it to the album Heaven Tonight. Anyway, I enjoy all your interviews. Keep up the great work!
