Excellent Album/CD Introducing Band As Musical Gun Contender
Great recording featuring many signature tracks including Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine and Paradise City. An album debut any rocker should be proud to own in his/her collection. I don't really like to mention this, but it sure would be nice someday if Geffen put out a Greatest Hits CD including the above mentioned songs plus other smashes later released. Since I already own most of G`NR's CDs, extra rack space to get freed might be helpful. In any event, this CD on its own definitely is one not to miss. Feel confident buying it if you haven't already done so and reassure yourself knowing such quality rock tunes aren't something easily accessible as recent music has become released...
What a ripoff.
This CD is a joke. IT says edited, but it's every bit as uncensored as the explicit version. AND it's 5$ extra. Save your money, or even just pass it up, if it's for a kid. I like the music, not the false advertising. Musically, it should be a 4 and a half stars, but advertising-wise...it's crap.
What!!!!!!!!!!!!!
guns n roses brought back booze drugs and women and killed the corparate hair metal era so many bitching about the profanity, a band with a reputation like G`n`R shood give you an idea of wat wil be on this album and if you dont like it (in the words of axl rose) "you can suck me". I will always love this album but what i will never love is censorship, buy the dirty version and get the real G`n`R experience.
Edited Version?
It is sad that the "edited" version of this cd is still filthy, yes, they are great musicians and have great music; however, why does a band or anyone for that matter feel it is necessary to be profane--for the money? This is why I stopped litening to rock music for fifteen years, and started listening to jazz, (most jazz music does not have words and the musicians have great technical ability like many rock musicians). I will always love rock music, my roots are there; however, I will never accept profanity. Sorry, 5 stars for the music, and zero stars for the profanity.
The best Album ever
I can certainly say that Gn'R's appetite is the best album ever recorded:
Put the best musicians on their fields: such as Slash and Izzy on guitars, Axl on singing, and a very original and great rhythm section by Steve and Duff.
Make them write the best songs they can: Fast (You are Crazy), heavy (Welcome to the Jungle), melodic (Sweet Child O' Mine), bluesy (My Michelle), angry (Out ta Get Me), hard (Nightrain), pouding (It's So Easy), experimental (Rocket Queen) and exciting (My Michelle).Write the best lyrics for this songs: true and real lyrics, talk about the streets (Welcome to the Jungle), drugs (Mr. Brownstone), sex (Rocket Queen), all what rock n' roll is really about.
Get the best presentation for the album, the best producer, and you get the best recording you can for a rock n' roll band.
THIS IS ROCK AND ROLL!

Low points: It's only an hour long... Wish it was 3 or 4...
