Guns N' Roses will forever be remembered for "The Spaghetti Incident?". Three studio albums and one covers album makes them the greatest rock band of all time. LOL

We are talking about greatest album, not collection of albums....

Well, if Gun N' Roses' "Appetite For Destruction" is so much better than Def Leppard's "Hysteria" album why hasn't it outsold it? I think you'll find the worldwide sales figures for both albums are roughly the same.

I would like to see the original line-up of Guns N' Roses try do a live performance of "Appetite For Destruction" as good as Def Leppard's live performance of "Hysteria" 26 years on. I've been told that Slash is a bit of a shit guitarist nowadays.

Didn't appetite sell like 30 million and hysteria 20 mil?

I love both bands!

Saw both of those album tours in concert. Both bands kicked ass and I actually like GnR album much more - but DL concert was the best I ever saw other than KISS

Who makes music like this now?

The best I've found is The Union but only a handful of their tracks really smash it (Burning Daylight is one).

A little off topic - but imo the greatest single is Powerstation - Get It On (Bang A Gong). Incredible vocalist, guitarist, drummer. Tony Thompson was one of THE best drummers ever IMO! He was to be Led Zepplin's drummer in they're 1986 reunion but was injured & the plans were cancelled.

Not sure if you are just fucking around - but if not you are a tool... Bang a fucking gong?

I'm serious. They each were at the top of they're game. Great pop/rock. Mutt Lange whored DL out after Pyro. They peaked then.

Axl Rose's voice sounds like a constipated camel's fart.

Saw Slash in December, his playing was as good as ever IMO. Best gig i've been to hands down.

Appetite & Somewhere in Time (Maiden) are my favourites, but that doesn't mean that it makes them everyone's. Just because you dont agree with someone's opinion doesn't give you the right to make a poor effort to dissect it and establish yours as the true consensus.

I like both Def Leppard and GnR but it's hard to compare them - two different sounds.

There is no question whatsoever though that Appetite for Destruction is the best debut rock/metal album of all time.

RocketSwitch625 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 16, 2015, 04:55:12 AM »

The original Gun N' Roses line-up could never come back and make an album as good as this. Never in a million years.

Def Leppard uses tons of added vocal loops and special effects during their live shows. 99% of all "live" recordings are doctored in the studio prior to their release.
