Are there any bad songs on Appetite For Destruction?

Not really. It was a slap in the face album at the end of the excesses of hair metal. Hard rock/metal was dying on the vine, outside of stalwarts such as Metallica, Megadeath and a few others at that point.

I can remember how good I thought it was when it was new before anything other than Welcome to the Jungle had become a hit. That would have been October/November of 1987.

Good times...good times. I hadn't even joined the army yet.

I prefer the Lies version of "You're Crazy".

That album was released at the peak of hair metal and had the unfortunate tie to that scene. When welcome to the jungle was released, I wouldn't call it a hit and the sad thing was music execs(Geffen) tried to give Axl that hair band look in the video. You would catch the video every now and then but it was never a huge hit, at first. I bet that video got more air time after Sweet Child became a hit almost a year later.

It was after Welcome to the jungle, the album slowly gained traction until it exploded with the Sweet Child video almost a year later.

But that was the peak of shite like Poison, Warrant, post-Shout at the Devil Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Cinderella.

If there is one it's Paradise City because it was so overplayed. But then, it wouldn't have been overplayed if it was a bad song.

I can say I don't really like the song anymore because of it being played to death in 88 and 89.

My memory is Paradise City getting MUCH more play than Sweet Child O Mine. Or maybe I just liked Sweet Child O Mine more than Paradise City.
