Why?: My introduction to GnR was mostly via Sweet Child O' Mine, followed by Terminator 2's "You Could Be Mine", followed by taping the songs I liked from Use Your Illusion I and II onto a single tape from a neighbour. Much later in life I bought all three of those albums on CD.
Tell me more!:
Appetite is one of those albums everyone says they love, but I'm not that keen. Welcome To The Jungle is fantastic, as is Sweet Child O' Mine. Mr. Brownstone and Paradise City both have super catchy chorus' but what else is there? A bunch of songs I mostly don't even recognise the names of, and that barely scratch my interest on every listen. And I've listened a lot. I really have tried.
The style of the majority of these album tracks is this goodtimey rock/country boogie garbage that I despise. It took over "popular metal" in the 80s and damn near ruined it until Nirvana saved the day.
Blasphemy. Yeah. Whatever.
4/10 (2 points each for Welcome and Sweet).
