Guns N' Roses- Appetite for Destruction (1987)
The original album artwork for Appetite for Destruction, based on the painting by Robert Williams, was changed afterwards to the first picture above after several music retailers refused to stock the album. The original cover depicts 'a robotic rapist about to be punished by a metal avenger.'
Appetite for Destruction is the debut studio album by the American hard rock group Guns N' Roses released on July 21, 1987. The album was a phenomenal success and has been certified 18x Platinum in the United States, Platinum in Canada, and 3x Platinum in the United Kingdom. The album reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and #1 in New Zealand, as well as #5 on the UK Albums Chart.
Guns N' Roses' debut albums includes five singles-- "It's So Easy," "Welcome to the Jungle," "Sweet Child o' Mine," "Paradise City," and "Nightrain." Specific single charting has not been made readily available for the above five songs. Other notable songs on the album include: "Mr. Brownstone," "Rocket Queen," "Out ta Get Me," and "Think About You."
Notable of Appetite for Destruction is that it is the best selling album ever released on the Geffen record label and also the best selling debut album by an American rock band in music history at an estimated 18,000,000+ units sold in the United States alone. Also, producer Mike Clink worked eighteen-hour days for over a month straight on the album under a budget of about $370,000 U.S. dollars. Slash, the lead guitarist for Guns N' Roses, struggled to find a suitable sound until he finally settled on a Gibson Les Paul copy plugged into a Marshall guitar amplifier. Slash spent many hours each day with Clink in the studio recording overdubs and structuring his solos for the album.
Meanwhile, singer Axl Rose's recording took much longer than the rest of the band as he insisted on doing one line at a time in a perfectionist manner. Rose's vocals are splendid on the album do not get me wrong, but I must state that Axl Rose is one of the most despised musicians in all of rock music
