Guns & Roses with the original lineup is one of the best rock bands of all time. Their first effort "Appetite for Destruction" is definitely one of the best rock albums of all time. Every song on it is great. And although this song didn't get much radio play in my area it is definitely a great song and captures the essence of the band. Their will never be another G&R. Relish the memories...

I agree that Axl, slash Izzy, Duff and Steven were the best line up. That wasn't the original line up though. Tracy guns was in the original line up.
The best GnR song ever made... With Izzy and Steven they we're the bomb, This LP has to be in the top 3 hard rock of all time

Duff ruled that song
You can believe whatever you want but that's me up onstage at 2:39 of the video. I was 17 years old and got kicked out of drug rehab a month earlier just before Christmas. I was an out of control teenager and loved this album from the first week or two it was released. I definitely wanted to jump up onstage because MTV was filming and I knew this moment would be documented for the rest of time. For the record, I'm 53 now and will be going to see GNR again on August 15, 2023 at the Meadowlands. Yes of course I still LOVE GUNS N FN ROSES.

Best ever, Steven ever on drums, Izzy on rhythm guitar, everyone else doing what they did, drunk and high out of their minds. That’s why they are the the best again. Those songs were never of been written unless they were stoned or drunk. Think about it. Don’t do drugs kids bc one day you will be rock stars doing millions, just don’t listen to Mr. Brownstone.

@@renatohebeja2665 I love Axl, but he was not sober all the time. Total misconception. He didn't completely stop doing drugs for a while, maybe 89, but more like 90. During 88 he was still doing drugs. He might not have done them as much as the rest of the guys but that is because he realized it was too hard to dance and sing and run around the stage high, etc. He just couldn't party like the rest of them and get up there and do what he needed. Go back and watch one of their shows in ... 90 or 91 and at that one you can see they are all totally wasted. Even Axl. And even if he didn't go back to doing drugs, he still drank some. He even admitted that he used to do drugs and pretty much said he had done just about everything at one time or another. Thankfully he stopped when he did though. And he's still with us today because of that. Good for him.
What incredible song and amazing band!!!! Axl my Rock' s God.....nobody like him at that time and nobody now like he was.....

Axl Rose 🌹 ♥️ is Definitely the Greatest Front man. He was Stunningly Beautiful and had ridiculous Stage Presence AND by far his most Lethal attribute was his singing... if the Devil had a singing voice it would be prime Axl
I saw them in 1988 opening for Aerosmith at Pine Knob, Mi. They had about 1/3 the gear but they blew Aerosmith off the stage like a leaf in a hurricane. Absolutely electrifying! One of the best live performances I have ever seen. Flawless! (Poor Aerosmith. They had just reformed and were getting into shape after a long hiatus that included extensive drug rehab. They were just awful, but most everybody in the crowd was classy and stayed for a few songs out of respect.)

I heard that was a great show. Funny you said that cause Izzy once commented that he used to go out and watch Aerosmith perform during that tour and he was blown with how phenomenal they were - really tight. He said when he watched them, he thought, 'We've got to get our shit together to get as tight as them.' Yet, it didn't really matter, because GNR were bringing in more fans and outselling Aerosmith in merch, lol. Then they used them for Rolling Stones when they were supposed to use Aerosmith, lol. Guns just had that energy and generated so much excitement that it didn't really matter how tight they were. I guess they just had that raw, genuine sound. They oozed sex, drugs, and rock n roll. And what's even worse about that tour is that their manager took the first offer that Aerosmith gave them. You never take the first offer. Ever. And he did. And it was peanuts. They were still sometimes borrowing money back then. When GNR started to bring in more fans and it was obvious people were coming to see them, he didn't even try to renegotiate later on. Aerosmith knew they were basically being taking advantage of. GNR were keeping their old suitcases together with gaffers' tape and twine. Aerosmith felt bad for them, so at the end of the tour they bought them all Halliburton luggage. Which was the least they could do, lol.

I saw them open for Aerosmith too in Long Beach. It was the most dangerous concert I have ever been to with the exception of the Amnesty tour. We had lawn seats and because I looked innocent, all 12 joints were with me. My brother got me over the fence and I lost my Wolfpack. There were 9 of us but after I got over the fence, I didn't see any of my pack until Aerosmith came on. So, I'm slowly making my way down to orchestra when Axl takes off his pants and he's wearing white boxer shorts with red apples on them. He then tells the crowd to come on down. I looked behind me and a wave of people were coming. I thought for sure I was going to be seriously injured or trampled to death. At the same time a girl was trying to steal the t-shirt I bought that I had wrapped around my waist. By this time I had smoked 4 joints and I punched this girl and blood came gushing out of her nose. I felt bad. But her friends and her chased me almost to orchestra. I finally make it to orchestra and who do I find? My brother. He had a black eye. I did see them at the Whiskey 4 times right before they shot to fame. But this concert was different. It was a small stadium, maybe the size of Irvine Meadows. The last time I saw them was 2 years later in LA. I forget where but they didn't come on stage until midnight. After that I vowed never to waste my money. Once Izzy left, I was done. Although I will say that Appetite for Destruction is probably the best rock album of my generation. Thank God Nirvana arrived and shut all those other hair bands down for good. All except for Guns. They were exceptional.

Best band on the planet in those few years, what an album

She came.... On record! Nobody today does crazy shit like that any more
Axel, Slash and the boys at their prime. The bad boys of rock n roll.
Whatever "stories" you've heard about those day's of the late 80s and early 90s,...trust me, they've been watered down.😂😂😂 It was insanity 😂😂😂😂
My favorite ❤️ too ! Steven kills it on drums
"Appetite" is a record that stands the test of time. It's as great and relevant today as when it was released
Adler kills the drums on this one, ironically
Who ever put this clip together- ALL I EVER WANTED WAS FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT I CARE!😂❤️
Hardcore skating and GNR pretty much sums up the best of the 80"s as far as I'm concerned.
Guns n' Roses in their prime. What a sight!
This is the greatest band ever. I started listening to them in 1988 when i was 14 and ive never gotten tired of any of their music. These guys just had something that no one else had. Im glad I grew up in this time. I was in 8th grade when I first heard them. Iam 50yrs old now and I still listen to them.

@@destinyhypnosis740my favorite question to ask when discussing music is, What is the greatest debut album in rock n roll history, and why is it Appetite for Destruction? Between asking people that in person and posting it on social media I've ask that question hundreds of times over the years.
Appetite for Destruction is unfair for other bands. None can reach that level of perfection.
G N R was a particularly sleazy form of Rock. Appetite For Destruction is one the best records ever recorded.
The 80´s and 90´s where fucking great
Lyrics: If I say I don't need anyone, I can say these things to you 'Cause I can turn on anyone just like I've turned on you I've got a tongue like a razor, a sweet switchblade knife And I can do you favors but then you'll do whatever I like Here I am, and you're a Rocket Queen I might be a little young, but, honey, I ain't naive Here I am, and you're a Rocket Queen, oh yeah I might be too much, but, honey, you're a bit obscene I've seen everything imaginable pass before these eyes I've had everything that's tangible, honey, you'd be surprised I'm a sexual innuendo in this burned out paradise If you turn me on to anything, you better turn me on tonight Here I am, and you're a Rocket Queen I might be a little young, but, honey, I ain't naive Here I am, and you're a Rocket Queen, oh yeah I might be too much, but, honey, you're a bit obscene Here I am, and you're a Rocket Queen I might be a little young, but, honey, I ain't naive Here I am, and you're a Rocket Queen, oh yeah I might be too much, but, honey, you're a bit obscene I see you standin', standin' on your own It's such a lonely place for you, for you to be If you need a shoulder or if you need a friend I'll be here standing until the bitter end No one needs the sorrow, no one needs the pain I hate to see you walking out there, out in the rain So, don't chastise me or think I, I mean you harm Of those that take you, leave you strung out much too far Baby, yeah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby, yeah Don't ever leave me, say you'll always be there All I ever wanted was for you to know that I care
Slash. Man, what a piece of art dudes body was back in the day. His silhouette. We were so damn beautiful. Ĝood times.

This, kids is Guns and Rose's at their absolute BEST!, When they ruled!
GnR one of the best bands ever.... Adler is outstanding here and Axl the best frontman, his voice sounded from an other planet.... Congrats 🎉...
Banging song. Quite literally.
Such an Epic Power Riff at the end
Personally, I thought "Appetite" was one of the best debut albums ever. And GNR's best album.
かれこれ、30年も聴いてますが、色褪せまない傑作ですね。
Axl, Bach were beasts in their prime....
Geez, brings back memories of great times! Cruising the streets and enjoying the night life of Liberty Missouri back in the summer of 1989! Listening to this cassette tape in my friend’s new trans am, and just jamming and enjoying my youth!
RITZ!!!! I've lost count how many time I've watched this whole show (since it first aired on Portuguese TV, bitd).... BTw, Rocket Queen, to me , is one of the best GnR songs! This song always struck a chord with me - I had this girlfriend and I wrote the last parts of this song (I see you standin..) on a piece of paper and stuck it to her bedroom wall (so she knew how much I loved her...).

First heard this song when i was 18. By the time the song finished, unbeknownst to me, tears were rolling down my face. My mother walked in on me and asked, What's wrong?" I told her nothing is wrong, I just fell in love with GNR. I overheard her telling my father, who responded, he's young, and he likes Heavy Metal, Ozzy Osbourne, etc. tell him to TURN DOWN that volume or I'll throw his stereo in the trash. I bought a pair. 🎧
