how can you not acknowledge the fact that 'appetite...' was one of the best rock n roll albums of all time. they were all amazing musicians, good songwriters, and wild as fuck junkies and alcoholics. they were everything great about rock n roll ever rolled into one band, the rolling stones of the 80s; amazing chops, the godlike lead guitarist (keith richards) in slash, the maniacal hip swiveling reckless frontman (mick) in axl, the mysterious rhythm guitarist (brian jones) in izzy, duff was thier bridge to punk rock and brought his hardcore esque bass to the table giving them a sense of dangerousness not seen in any of the lame ass hair bands of the time, and shit, every song on appetite is great. but of course, like the stones they eventually would become a parody of themselves. but i dont understand how people can not admit that they were a great band. whether or not you like them is fine, but you cant say they werent rockin as hell. no matter how wierd my taste in music has gotten, i still get chills from the opening riff to 'welcome to the jungle'.
