Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Album Description

120 gram vinyl/original artwork.

Amazon.com

A glimpse of the future, and not because of its huge influence and umpteen million sales. The poor-little-rich-boy protest "Out ta Get Me" intimates that Axl Rose's egotism and martyr complex were soon to grow bigger than his head; still, Appetite's night-train wreck of punk and metal sounds and sensibilities make it more than just an emblem of its time. Whether GN'R are dancing with Mr. Brownstone, penning a callow kiss-off letter to some chick named Michelle, or passing out on somebody else's sofa, this was and remains a savage journey to the heart of the American--or at least the Hollywood--dream. --Rickey Wright

Appetite for Destruction..........Oh NO, NO, NO............. - Reviewed on 2008-12-03

1 customer found this review helpful, 1 did not.

A bad message for our youngsters. We shouldn't support music with negative themes such as this. What about some good old-fashioned music like the following:

1. Appetite for Education

2. Feel My Bookbag

3. Hot for Education

4. Welcome to the Library

5. I Just Wanna Study

6. Mother, I Cherish Her

7. I Want to be like my Daddy

8. Good Manners High School

9. Respect Women

Now that would be fun.

A great purchase when compared to a CD or MP3 download - Reviewed on 2008-11-27

I purchased this LP even though I own the digital version via iTunes. This LP certainly does sound different. It sounds, as most people would describe, warmer than the digital version. It's also a lot more fun to play since it takes manual work to enjoy. The LP has excellent information on the jacket (lyrics, photos) and is in brand new condition. All in all, I'm glad I purchased the LP version since I will probably listen to it a lot more this way than from iTunes. It was a good purchase.

Best record ever, this record will go on forever - Reviewed on 2008-11-23

The first time i heard this was after school. actually i only saw the video for "welcome to the jungle". the video has to be the most powerful video\song in ages. to this day i still get chills watching the video. right after a saw the video, i went straight to my local music store and bought appetite (Best 10 bucks i have ever spent). i listened to this nonstop. if you have not heard the record, just go out and buy it.

Top 5 Greatest rock album of all time! - Reviewed on 2008-11-23

This will always be known as one of the greatest rock albums of all time!

One of the best rock albums ever - Reviewed on 2008-11-22

No reason to give anyone an actual review here. Just go out and listen to the album. Every song is classic; and most of all pure rock-n-roll. If you can come up with a better debut album from any "hard rock" band, please let me know. In the meantime, just listen to this mammoth accomplishment. Amazing what a handful of douche bags can accomplish. Forget their late stuff save November Rain and a few other tracks and GnR Lies the album. This is it. It's f'ing amazing stuff.
