Appetite For Destruction - Guns N' Roses

With 27 million sales worldwide, the most sucessful debut of the eighties, Appetite For Destruction introduced the world to LA hard rockers Guns 'N Roses.
Axl, Slash, and the band went on to raise hell and a lot of controversy, but never surpassed the almighty punch of this album.
Welcome To The Jungle, the first single, languished until record company boss David Geffen convinced MTV to give it more air time and even though it got scant play, rock fans took note and it was soon charting. Sweet Child Of Mine (a poem by Axl Rose for his future wife) followed and by the time the band released Paradise City, they were touring to sold out stadiums.
The original cover features a tattoo Axl had designed, of a cross and skulls, each skull representing a member of the band. This artwork was actually a compromise, the original artwork featuring a robot rapist about to be avenged by a dagger toothed monster created too much controversy and was instead used on the liner sleeve.
