    It's 17 years already and Guns n' Roses still have it

    Never really found out why this bunch of punks always worked so well with me.

    Ever since I heard the first tones as a kid I knew I gotta get that record, ever since I got the first "Use Your Illusion I" tape 17 years ago and listened to that on an old tape recorder, I don't remember I would ever not enjoy listening to that.

    It was something that just felt like totally natural to listen to, remember I was also reading all the lyrics hungry to understand, with 2 years of English classes at that time.

    Now I listen to the same thing again after years and it still has it (although yeah it's Appetite for Destruction that really is their best record and some of the most significant piece of rock of the 80's if not ever)

    Well I ain't the introverted kid with silly long hair and a trademark denim jacket anymore, I guess some music was the very background to all the ups and downs of a juvenile life, that's probably what makes it still so enjoyable to listen to.

    It seems like I somehow grew older, but I still feel the kid inside, once I hear the right bands or tunes.

      The Spaghetti Incident was complete and utter crap. They never should have covered punk and glam.

                  Don't make me feel old.. I still remember watching the Welcome to the Jungle video on Headbanger ball late at night on MTV. Back when MTV actually played music videos that is.

                  I also had that album on cassette same as NIN Pretty hate machine..and many others.

                    I was right behind the curve with gnr. Last year of highschool, and we were all about metallica, helloween, megadeath and king diamond. gnr was pussy metal. I can appreciate it much more now than I could then.

                        Appetite for Destruction was actually the 1st CD I bought in my mid-teens, something I'm sure most kids today have never done in their lives.

                                  I love Appetite and Lies. Even as a kid, I thought Illusion was just crap. I was 15, I stayed up until midnight to get the tape at a local record store. My brother and I both bought it, we came home and listened to it and we were just shaking our heads, no, no, no. Instantly, I thought it sucked. They had it right with Appetite. When I heard Axl starting to rap, I knew it was over.

                                    I feel the same thing about that...it's so natural listen to their songs...
                                    I'm just a newbie.

                                      I actually really liked Chinese Democracy
                                      the more I listen, the more it grows on me and has become my second favorite GnR, behind Appetite...

                                      It's overproduced and self-indulgent, but Axl's voice sounds amazing and his songwriting is pretty damn good.

                                        Yup, Appetite for Destruction rocks! I often listen to this while walking out. Definitely a cool piece.

                                            If it is not bad then the marketing people behind it are doing a rotten job and I NEVER hear or have heard about it in the media, only thing I remember is the Dr.Pepper stunt.

                                                    i remember when Appetite came out and was played all the time at ASU...been a fan for years, when CD came out i gave it a shot but sadly i thought it was way over produced...a trait Axl was famous for doing...

                                                    i read the Slash suto-biography and he even said that was a hard thing for Axl to break...

                                                    to have GnR capture that magic again would be great but probably never going to happen...Slash is a fantastic guitarist and Axl was definitely talented

                                                    as for MTV..shit making me feel old..i remember when "Video killed the radio star" premiered....
