    Fun story. As an '80s teen I would jam out to this song & of course the whole album actually. So one day my dad & my 5 y/o baby bro come out the house & I hear my brother ask, "so where we goin dad?" My dad says "IDK, where do you wanna go?" Baby bro comes back with, "How about Paradise City!" Dad says"what?!" Bro says (in all seriousness), "You know: where the grass is green & the girls are pretty." Had my dad &I in stitches!😂

      😂😂😂😂As a kiddo who grew up in the 80s as well, I love your story. My mom ordered records back in the day… And this was long before Guns N’ Roses. At least long before I knew about them. In fact, I think I was in fourth grade. Anyway, she got me Prince, Purple Rain. Because oddly enough, I became obsessed with Prince for whatever reason. My entire life I’ve had an eidetic memory when it comes to music. I remember every single lyric to every song I have ever heard. Even if I hate the song. It sucks. It serves no practical purpose in real life. Anyway… I listen to the album, front and back. Darling Nikki was on there. Had no clue what the hell it meant… But had it memorized verbatim the whole in a hotel lobby ma$TuRbAt1ng w a Magazine…grinding etc. i’m happily singing my new found favorite song ever when my dad comes home and hears me. He lost his shit. I lost my album. End of story. I’m sorry it was so long.

    Their debut album is probably the best rock album ever. Every song is 10/10. They had success alter with November Rain and stuff like that, but the Apeitite for Destruction album was revolutionary
    Nightrain and Rocket Queen are personal favorites

      Agree - it’s incredible, has that hunger. Served Duff and Ian? Beers in Dublin 1990. Later that night, stood at a urinal in a club, beside Slash, as he pissed all over his snakeskin boots. Didn’t see Axl.
      AC/DC - Bon Scott and b in b have more better songs - but no album as good as appetite.

    @Mainecoonlady. 7 месяцев назад +22

    Classic band that is just timeless. Three amazing guitars, Duff, Slash and Izzy plus Steven on kicking drums. Axl’s vocals, rock perfection. Only a few bands can claim that make up like Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Eagles, Lynard Skynard and even Bon Jovi with the inclusion of keyboards. There are others as well. Plus they can all sing, which adds depth to vocals. These bands are successful because of undeniable talent. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

      basically I was referring to the instrument setup and well rounded sound. I was not comparing them. I’ve seen all of those I mentioned live except Lynard Skynard, and I have to admit they are all, including Bon Jovi, amazing LIVE. Which have you seen live?

    They still haven’t forgotten where they came from. They kept themselves grounded. That’s just one of the reasons they are one of the greatest bands of all time. Best part about them as well is that they actually lived the songs they performed. Maybe not every song but close enough 😂 I absolutely love GnR! Mad respect! ❤️Axl is my guy! ❤️ All the members are so talented! Total beast mode! 💯

    I worked at Geffen Records at the time this band was just signed. All these guys lived in a couple of vans. They had nothing but talent and drive. Axl Rose was camped out in the reception area with his bicycle and a girlfriend until they recorded their first album and went straight to the top. Axl has a 5 octave vocal range. I LOVE this band. Great reaction

    Axl's voice was one of a kind at a time, and you loved it or you hated it, for me it was amazing and why I gravitated to the band like I did. And yeah, Brain Johnson of AC/DC has a similar bite to his voice as well, and probably why they had Axl fill in many years back when Brian had to take a break for medical reasons. Not only is this my favorite GnR tune, it's my favorite song period, and never fails to take me home.

    If you haven't already you should check out these GNR songs:
    -Estranged (crazy vid)
    -My Michelle
    -Think about you
    -Civil war
    Side note: Civil war, although 30+ yrs old feels so lyrically relevant to what's going on today, really crazy!
