Description
Guns N' Roses' debut album, 'Appetite for Destruction,' revolutionized hard rock in the late '80s. While other heavy - metal bands focused on having a good time, this record was dirty, dangerous, and full of attitude. Guns N' Roses might seem to share the same themes as their peers - sex, liquor, drugs, and rock & roll. But Axl Rose brings a nasty edge, expressing his disillusionment with L.A.'s urban sprawl, filled with heavy - metal thugs, cheap women, booze, and crime. The music, a blend of bluesy and metallic hard rock from Aerosmith and AC/DC, matches the gritty lyrics. It makes Rose's misogyny, fear, and anger feel real. Tracks like 'Sweet Child O' Mine' show his vulnerability, while 'Welcome to the Jungle' and 'Mr. Brownstone' convey the horrors of the decaying inner city. The twin - guitar interplay of Slash and Izzy Stradlin is outstanding, making this the best metal record of the late '80s.
To enjoy this 'Appetite For Destruction' vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the vinyl on the turntable, and carefully lower the needle onto the starting groove. Listen at a volume that suits your preference. When you're done, lift the needle off the record gently and turn off the player. Keep the vinyl away from direct sunlight, heat, and dust. Store it in a cool, dry place in its sleeve. If it gets dirty, use a proper vinyl cleaning brush to clean the surface gently. Don't touch the grooves with your fingers to avoid leaving oils and dirt that can affect the sound quality.
