Following are a few of the written comments on Appetite For Destruction:
Joel Gausten – "Axl Rose is a sage. His lyrics paint the clearest, most vivid picture of life in Los Angeles ever committed to tape. 'Think About You' is the best song HANOI ROCKS never wrote."
Dan Lorenzo – "The most overrated band in the history of music. Yes this CD is good. 'My Michelle' is vicious hard rock at it’s best. There are a couple of other fantastic songs. Maybe even four or five. Wny are we still talking about them though? How the hell could people fall over themselves with a song that rhymes the words 'pretty' and 'city'? C’mon, really?? Still?? Yes, it IS a good cd. But since then? You STILL care? Really? I’m going to go listen to AEROSMITH Rocks now."
Chris Tsangarides – "When this little epic first came to my attention I was wondering what all the hype was about, it sounded like music that was a bit dated given the current musical climate. I wasn’t overly impressed that is until I got the album and listened to it in my music room from start to finish. I was amazed at the consistency of the song writing and was left feeling elated and like every guitar player tried to figure out how to play 'Sweet Child O' Mine' I was sold on this now classic rock album and it’s still one of my all-time faves."
