Remember that time James Hetfield got set on fire and rushed to the hospital, and then GnR "saved" the night by playing 40 minutes before Axl decided to bounce, which caused a massive riot in Montreal? Good times.
Also remember that time they left a St. Louis show cause there was someone recording in the audience and then it led to a riot and they got banend from playing in St. Louis/Missouri for a long time
They almost got banned from Toronto after Axl showed up REAAAALLY late to a show, sometime in 2009? 2020? I dunno. I was a kid and I barely remember much, aside from my dad and I FINALLY leaving around 1:30 in the morning, even though Axl had barely played 3 songs. A pretty disappointing experience as a kid. Thankfully seeing them again in 2015 with Slash and Duff, showing up ON TIME, made up for that previous encounter.
Yup I was there. My first concert ever. Although I dont blame him for the riot. he did pour gasoline on a already fiery crowd that waited 2 and a half hours for his antics. He didnt want to go on stage earlier so we waited and then they show up to play 6 or 7 songs. Flips the crowd and leaves Never tried to make things right while Metallica came back the following February playing 2 night with all tickets were only $14.99
I been listening to Appetite since it came out. I was only 7, but my older friend in 4th grade was able to get it and we listened to the shit out of it. The production is perfect for what it is, the guitar is epic as hell, Axl's vocals were ridiculous, and the songs are catchy as hell while still having some rawness. It definitely left an impression and still holds up. 100% was my gateway into the heavier bands that I'd become obsessed with in my teens like Pantera and Metallica. Not an understatement at all to put this in the top 5 greatest albums of all time. A landmark piece of work that can never really be touched.
GNR Tier list S: Appetite for Destruction A: Use your Illusion 1 and 2 B: GNR Lies C: Spaghetti Incident D: Chinese Democracy Appetite for Destruction rightfully called a masterpiece. Would say that album and Van Halen 1, Boston’s debut are the best rock debuts of all time.
I have to agree man, only other albums I would dare add to a list like that would be Kiss' self-titled and Blizzard Of Ozz... I think that would be it. Maybe Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas Flood...
I remember seeing Terminator 2 in the cinema and cheering when Arnie took off on his motorcycle with John Connor with You Could Be Mine blasting. I also still have the Spaghetti Incident on orange vinyl
1) Appetite for Destruction (10/10) 2) Use your illusion I (10/10) 3) Use your illusion II (9.5/10) 4) GNR Lies (8.5/10) 5) Chinese Democracy (7/10) Glad there's metalheads out there that appreciate GNR's music instead of calling them overrated and generic dad rock like every other music nerd. GNR are amazing and I'm tired of pretending they're not.
Been binge watching all your vids brother ! Good stuff , even if I don't like the band your talking about you have a great presentation and charisma 👍good work dude !!
Actually the spaghetti incident songs were recorded at the same time Use your was. Just saying for me Don't damn me is one of my favorite use your song. Maybe I'm biased because I am litterally obsessed by guns since i was 10.
good overview...thanks...appetite was one of the few albums that blew me away upon first hearing it...i still enjoy it...for me, chinese democracy was such a let down when it came out...a prime example of how overthinking can kill a project...
My Best Of (from '87 to '98) double CD would be: SIDE 1: Welcome to the Jungle - Live and Let Die - You Could Be Mine - November Rain - Sweet Child O'Mine - The Garden - You're Crazy (acoustic) - Dust N' Bones - My Michelle - Human Being - Breakdown - 14 Years - Rocket Queen - Pretty Tied Up - Garden of Eden - Coma. SIDE 2: Nightrain - Right Next Door to Hell - Yesterdays - Civil War - Don't Cry - Mr Brownstone - It's So Easy (live) - Since I Don't Have You - Patience - Double Talkin' Jive - Locomotive - Don't Damn Me - Knockin' On Heaven's Door - Paradise City - Estranged.
if the world is a great song, the vocals sound great, the mix of instruments and the vibe of it all are hypnotizing and thats a hill i’m willing to die on
Okay, Lets be real for a second, if Chinese Democracy wasn't tied to the Guns N' Roses Name, everyone would have though of it as some goofy Hard Rock album, gave it something like a 3/5 and moved on, but this is Guns N' Roses, and the fact that this album took 15 years to make and cost almost $14 MILLION To make (which in on itself is actually a world record for the most expensive rock album that was made) is either some kind of cruel joke by God or Axl Rose has a really bad sense of humor, because this was not a fun record to listen to at all when you take in the fact that it was Made by him and mostly guest appearances, and 15 years is a really huge gap between album release, by the time 15 years passes someone would have been married, have a family, watch their kids finish Pre, Elementary and possibly Middle school too. I Know a lot of peoples love to bash on Brendon Urie for using the Panic! at the Disco name while there is only himself under the so called "band", but i think Axl Rose did it first before Brendon, because by the time Chinese Democracy came out, Guns N' Roses didn't exist, it was only Axl using the Name for his "Solo Project" if you can even call it that, and only toured with touring members, If a person can totally forget the name Guns N' Roses while listening to this, they might have a good time, but again, this took 15 years to release. And when a company responsible for one of the most iconic brand like Dr. Pepper, putting up an ad saying if Chinese Democracy gets released, they will give every single living American a free Dr. Pepper. you know both the album, and the image of the band has been completely tarnished, the late 80s to early 90s Guns N' Roses? Top quality, Masterpiece, Perfection, the Present Guns N' Roses?...not so much
I love GUNS N'ROSES since I was 7. People think The Spaghetti incident sucked or sucks but,I love it knowing it's all covers. Question Why is it when Guns N'Roses released Spaghetti incident they crap for it but,when other band release a cover they get no crap and it great.
I remember my metal pals at the time being quite shocked that I really liked "Appetite For Destruction". For them they were posers who were only in it for the money. You can say that to a certain degree about some of their later records (you already mentioned the prime suspects) - but not about the debut. I still like it to this day. As for the other records - bits and pieces but nothing remotely close to "Appetite..."
Are you going to cry about it a little bit or just enjoy the videos. People are so spoiled with “quality content” I personally love the raw uncut content not too polished. Makes them seem more human.
3:39 Um Boston would like to have a word with you my friend. Now granted not a metal band buuuuuut Boston's debut album, kicks some fuckin ass. I have full respect for GnR's AFD, and agreed GnR occupied a lot of different genres. Also GnR did shake up the rock genre. But Boston is the better album. Again will not discredit GnR.
Not to sound mean but please get another microphone before you decide to do another one of these discography reviews. I can't hear you at all! (Then when ads start playing, it's super loud.)
Appetite For Destruction - 3.5/5 GnR Lies (or whatever) - 2/5 Use Your Illusion I - 3/5 Use Your Illusion II - 3.5/5 The Spaghetti Incident - 0.5/5 Chinese Democracy - 5/5
AFD: 8.5/10 UYI 1: 8/10 UYI 2: 9/10 TSI: 5/10 CD: 6.5/10 Their first 3 albums are absolute classics imo. So many great songs like Nightrain, Coma and Civil War. CD gets too much hate imo, not every song is good but there is some solid stuff on the album like Madagascar, Better and the title track.
Guns N' Roses is one of the only bands that I would say deserves all of the praise that they get. They're a lot like Cannibal Corpse in that not every album is the same, but still good.
@@cycochris07 other than estranged and november rain there are not much "major piano songs" on use your. There are some really good heavy songs on that but I love the fact that they experimented something else than Appetite oriented songs. This is one of the reason why I'm not quite a ACDC fan they re-recorded the same album again and again.
Remember that time James Hetfield got set on fire and rushed to the hospital, and then GnR "saved" the night by playing 40 minutes before Axl decided to bounce, which caused a massive riot in Montreal? Good times.
If im not mistaken they were banned from playing in Quebec for a looong time after that lol
Also remember that time they left a St. Louis show cause there was someone recording in the audience and then it led to a riot and they got banend from playing in St. Louis/Missouri for a long time

I remember that being documented in Metallica's behind the music episode. Typical Axl
Appetite for Destruction is a masterpiece. i could not have said it better myself.
I been listening to Appetite since it came out. I was only 7, but my older friend in 4th grade was able to get it and we listened to the shit out of it. The production is perfect for what it is, the guitar is epic as hell, Axl's vocals were ridiculous, and the songs are catchy as hell while still having some rawness.

Damn straight
GNR Tier list
S: Appetite for Destruction
A: Use your Illusion 1 and 2
B: GNR Lies
C: Spaghetti Incident
D: Chinese Democracy
Appetite for Destruction rightfully called a masterpiece. Would say that album and Van Halen 1, Boston’s debut are the best rock debuts of all time.
Oh fuckin' absolutely, though I'd add "Are You Experienced?" from Jimi Hendrix to that list as well.
@@themetalmeltdownofficial Oh fuck I forgot about Jimi Hendrix, include that album as well lol.
I have to agree man, only other albums I would dare add to a list like that would be Kiss' self-titled and Blizzard Of Ozz... I think that would be it. Maybe Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas Flood...
I remember seeing Terminator 2 in the cinema and cheering when Arnie took off on his motorcycle with John Connor with You Could Be Mine blasting. I also still have the Spaghetti Incident on orange vinyl
1) Appetite for Destruction (10/10)
2) Use your illusion I (10/10)
3) Use your illusion II (9.5/10)
4) GNR Lies (8.5/10)
5) Chinese Democracy (7/10)
Glad there's metalheads out there that appreciate GNR's music instead of calling them overrated and generic dad rock like every other music nerd. GNR are amazing and I'm tired of pretending they're not.

Doing gods work
🙏
Actually the spaghetti incident songs were recorded at the same time Use your was. Just saying for me Don't damn me is one of my favorite use your song. Maybe I'm biased because I am litterally obsessed by guns since i was 10.
6. Chinese Democracy
5. The spaghetti incident
4. GNR Lies
3. Uses Your illusion I
2. Uses Your Illusion II
1. Appetite for Destruction
I’m not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but Bad Apples is on my list of my favorite GNR songs ever.
Love that track! Love the guitars in the Intro!
good overview...thanks...appetite was one of the few albums that blew me away upon first hearing it...i still enjoy it...for me, chinese democracy was such a let down when it came out...a prime example of how overthinking can kill a project...
GN/r is the reason I got into rock and metal. Appetite and the Illusions are mostly great, but everything else is spotty at best.
I’m going say it I don’t even “Appetite For Destruction” is perfect there’s about 4 debatably 5 tracks I could do without!
My Best Of (from '87 to '98) double CD would be:
SIDE 1: Welcome to the Jungle - Live and Let Die - You Could Be Mine - November Rain - Sweet Child O'Mine - The Garden - You're Crazy (acoustic) - Dust N' Bones - My Michelle - Human Being - Breakdown - 14 Years - Rocket Queen - Pretty Tied Up - Garden of Eden - Coma.
SIDE 2: Nightrain - Right Next Door to Hell - Yesterdays - Civil War - Don't Cry - Mr Brownstone - It's So Easy (live) - Since I Don't Have You - Patience - Double Talkin' Jive - Locomotive - Don't Damn Me - Knockin' On Heaven's Door - Paradise City - Estranged.
Went to see Guns N’ Roses last night. Good show.
Nice man! Saw them in 2015 myself, back when Slash and Duff had just rejoined the band. Wild night.
if the world is a great song, the vocals sound great, the mix of instruments and the vibe of it all are hypnotizing and thats a hill i’m willing to die on
1. Appetite for destruction (still overrated af)
2. Use your illusion II
3. Use your illusion I
4. Chinese democracy
5. The spaghetti incident
Im saying it!!! I like lies more than Appetite period.
I think I do too. It's a honest record of a band recording songs without over producing it
Okay, Lets be real for a second, if Chinese Democracy wasn't tied to the Guns N' Roses Name, everyone would have though of it as some goofy Hard Rock album, gave it something like a 3/5 and moved on, but this is Guns N' Roses, and the fact that this album took 15 years to make and cost almost $14 MILLION To make (which in on itself is actually a world record for the most expensive rock album that was made) is either some kind of cruel joke by God or Axl Rose has a really bad sense of humor, because this was not a fun record to listen to at all when you take in the fact that it was Made by him and mostly guest appearances, and 15 years is a really huge gap between album release, by the time 15 years passes someone would have been married, have a family, watch their kids finish Pre, Elementary and possibly Middle school too.

I agree with everything you have said but street of dreams is lit 👌🏻🤯👌🏻

I used to love her is about Izzy’s dog that he buried
Why do think Guns N'Roses got lumped into the Gem metal period. If anything they were anything but,Gem.
I heard that Axl just asked a chick to moan for the song but I mean..It's still moaning
damn right about appetite 🤘🏼
Let’s go. I’m ready
The sound of the videos is too low lately - have to put the max volume and still don't hear it well
Are you going to cry about it a little bit or just enjoy the videos. People are so spoiled with “quality content” I personally love the raw uncut content not too polished. Makes them seem more human.
I thought it was just me😮
There are 4… really just 3.
Appetite, Illusions 1&2 and unfortunately Chinese democracy.
Lies is better than you think it is
3:39 Um Boston would like to have a word with you my friend. Now granted not a metal band buuuuuut Boston's debut album, kicks some fuckin ass. I have full respect for GnR's AFD, and agreed GnR occupied a lot of different genres. Also GnR did shake up the rock genre.
But Boston is the better album. Again will not discredit GnR.
Love Boston but the better album for me is and always will be Appetite
Not to sound mean but please get another microphone before you decide to do another one of these discography reviews. I can't hear you at all! (Then when ads start playing, it's super loud.)
I don't know what to tell ya man, I'm not having that issue at all and as far as I can tell, neither is anyone else. Plus, money.
Sounds fine for me
You just gotta turn it up.
@@themetalmeltdownofficial hmm okay
Appetite For Destruction - 3.5/5
GnR Lies (or whatever) - 2/5
Use Your Illusion I - 3/5
Use Your Illusion II - 3.5/5
The Spaghetti Incident - 0.5/5
Chinese Democracy - 5/5
Chinese Democracy? Rated higher that Appetite? Absolutely wild 😦
AFD: 8.5/10
UYI 1: 8/10
UYI 2: 9/10
TSI: 5/10
CD: 6.5/10
Their first 3 albums are absolute classics imo. So many great songs like Nightrain, Coma and Civil War. CD gets too much hate imo, not every song is good but there is some solid stuff on the album like Madagascar, Better and the title track.
Chinese Democracy is still the only GNR album I've ever heard...
OOF my dude, you gotta change that asap.
"Appetite For Destruction is the greatest fucking album ever made"
Chester Bennington RIP
Guns N' Roses is one of the only bands that I would say deserves all of the praise that they get. They're a lot like Cannibal Corpse in that not every album is the same, but still good.
best gnr = appetite for destruction. worst gnr = everthing else.
you just don't like the band
@@laynestaley147 that is a fair assessment. They lost me when axl turned them into a piano rock band =(
@@cycochris07 other than estranged and november rain there are not much "major piano songs" on use your. There are some really good heavy songs on that but I love the fact that they experimented something else than Appetite oriented songs.

This review is far more pretentious than any gnr song.....
I dont think you know what that word means
