re: I can't find a single fault with Appetite for Destruction

Hung out a lot with an older cousin of mine around the time this album was released. I was only like 7 or 8 when he started playing it but it got me hooked early on to GNR.
FWIW the book Watch You Bleed was an entertaining read on GNR's start.

It's a flawless album...maybe one to two fillers. One does not simply try to remake that same album over and over...so, after Lies, it was inevitable that they were going for a double-album with a mature sound, full of all sorts of songs.
Get in the Ring and Yesterdays are the only two songs I can think of that could have been put on Appetite and gotten away with it.

I was a kid when this came out and I just remember it seeming so impossibly fast / destructive. I wanted to break stuff listening to it.
I had the cassette single. I think Mr. Brownstone was the B side.

Hands down, the greatest hard rock album of all time.

The only fault I can come up with is that you had to be 18 to buy it, at least in my hometown. That was also the reason for my first fake ID at 15. Joe Buck.

Better than both AFD and BIB.

I really like both Illusions.

Before the dope got him, Adler was a fantastic rock drummer.

AFD belongs in the conversation, but there are several other albums that could also make a case for "greatest hard rock release". A few worthy choices had been made on this thread already, and I'd throw Van Halen's debut into the hat too...that album was arguably as much of a game-changer as AFD. Since "hard rock" is a pretty broad term, you could almost-but-not-quite toss Boston's debut into the mix as well, despite it sounding like night and day compared to AFD, lol...

first compact disc I ever bought...everything in my rock arsenal was on cassette up to that point.

yep.......most important album in the history of rock and roll. Sent a lot of guitarists back to the woodshed when this one came out.
