Not one of the "drummers" after Adler have even held a match! Some say he's "sloppy", but it's the same guys who say that Jimi Page's playing is also "sloppy". My response? "Show me YOUR Wiki page, buddy" :D
@@MrMashman93 "Far Beyond Driven" is epic as well!!...It's almost a non-skip album for me but I rarely listen to the "Planet Caravan" track ..So I rate "Vulgar" higher. :-)
@@bustercherry8734 I agree 100%..."Planet Caravan" is not the best choice for Sabbath Cover or album closer...And...It doesn't take away from the album at all "5 mins Alone" and "I'm Broken" have been wonderfully blasting my ear drums for 30 years .. But..."Planet Caravan" still counts as a track skip...BTW "BadMotorFinger" by Soundgarden rotates in and out of my top 3...That album exists as one solid piece of musical furniture. ;-)
It doesn't matter how old you get,great music is great music, I'm 47 and at 12 years old in 1988 my mate copied a tape of ' Appetite ' for me. I loved it and became an instant fan and 35 years later I still love them. One of the best bands ever
❤ich bin jetzt 63 und bin glücklich jetzt dieses geile Konzert gucken zu können 😊 Danke RU-vid habe Sie zwei mal live bei Riesen Open Airs gesehen Stuttgart/Mannheim zu use Your Illusion Zeiten aber Appetite for Destruction was für ein Meisterwerk, Sweet Child oh Mine ❤❤❤❤Sie hätten die Größte Band der Welt werden können 😊

It is sad how they let hin go. When they were all screwed up. I mean shit, you had to know that the way this would end they were, having fun, let's say, that you would have to help your brother up and over.
@@JohnRidersoldoutforjesusHe was especially messed up even for GNR. I forget all the details but it’s not that they didn’t give him a million chances but I guess it’s how it goes sometimes. It’s quite tragic as I agree, his drumming is technically great and even more so, his creativity is part of the GNR sound.
Guns n' Roses emerged when everyone thought that glam metal was dying. They were the saviors of rock n' roll. This was the Guns that conquered the world. They were wild, hedonistic, tight, and amazingly creative. The biggest rock n roll band back then. The world will always remember this!
glam metal was dying. GNR was not glam metal. They were the transition from hair bands/glam rock to Alternative/grunge. They were really their own thing.
It's good to see the initial band, Steven Adler on drums, Axl Rose and the whole group in general at their best, it's a great concert, I've wanted to see it for years.
@@user-rc9vk9ix6t with the dog shit voals, cancelled shows, shows with no Axl they were hardly the best anything. You kids think that time was all wonderful and have no clue LoL
Before "Welcome to the Jungle" broke, I was listening to an interview with Dave Meniketti, lead singer of Y & T. He was asked about what up and coming bands we should look for. He said right away Guns N' Roses. I went right out and bought "Appetite", and he couldn't have been more right. that album is absolutely in my top 5 favorites of all time, and I was 21 at the time... probably the best period in time to be that age. Music will NEVER be like that again....
Shooter, I was 8 when this concert was videoed. I missed the Guns and Roses rage in the 80s because I was too young. I knew some of their big songs, of course, but about 3 months ago I was searching for a new band and I came across Civil War. I've been rocking to GNR ever since. I have a new respect for their music. Slash is a wizard on that fucking Les Paul. Axl's vocal range was more than Freddy Mercury! Awesome to see Steven Adler on drums. I agree, rock music is kind of lost right now.
Quien iba a pensar que primero no querían publicar sus videos por ser muy crudos según ellos,y después hasta un concierto para MTV los dejaron presentar
This is a depiction of absolute perfection. Each and everyone of these individuals came together and created something legendary and beyond extraordinary. Every young up n coming band should be "required" to watch this concert as part of their initiation. It amazes me to see that, even way back then, Slash was already such an awesome guitar player. And Axl... man what can we say about him except that he was (and is) truly awesome.
Axl was pure raw adrenaline rush in this era. They were indeed at their very best here- no doubt. 1991 Rock N' Rio is a close second in my opinion even though Adler was gone by then. I love the way Axl was dressed for this show. He looked like a true rocker/ biker dude. 🥰😍🤩❤
This show represents GNR at their absolute peak as a rock band. Before Axl’s ego exploded, and the money, drugs and fame eroded the fabric of the band. I saw GNR a few years later at The Ritz as they kicked off the Use Your Illusion tour and then again in 2021 on the We’re F*#kin’ Back tour. Glad to still have GNR around but this 1988 performance is how I like to remember the band.
You are 10000% correct. They are young, hungry, raw, unpredictable, original 5 and axl still has his voice! I aslo them during UYI tour in 92…I was a few years too young to make the AFD tour :-(
@@THEDISAFFECTEDgreat show you are referring to…thanks for reminding me of it, just watched it for the first time in many years. I also like their accoustic performance at CBGB’s.
i can't watch them live currently anymore. it's not the same. axl's voice is gone. i've listened to them so much for 35 years that i know what his voice used to be and it hurts to hear live now.
I feel like people on RU-vid don't understand the definition of "underrated," as I see it on almost every music video. Izzy is wildly known for his genius; he was the soul of GNR.
I went to a concert in November 1987 in my hometown. Motley Crue was the headliner. The Crue were the pinnacle of arena rock at the time. They had this opening band I hadn't heard of. Remember, no internet back then. These 5 guys come out and proceed to burn the arena down. It was Guns n Roses. I was at the local mall the next day buying Appetite for Destruction. Nuf said. Lighters up! 🤘
This lineup is mind blowing, life changing. Every member is a secret weapon. Everything after Lies was a different band and nothing to do with this in every way perfect Rock N’ Roll band.
Constant sold out stadium tours since coming back with Slash and Duff i don't think is dead in a nailed coffin.....they just played San Antonio Tuesday night to 50,000 fans and I was there and it was incredible. 3 and half hours set!!!
Slash Duff and axl have not written a song to together since 1991. They are still great live and I’ve seen them twice (including last month) since Axl reunited with Slash/Duff, but they are unfortunately a nostalgia act.
I watched this live when it was broadcast and recorded it on VCR. I was a senior in high school. I had seen them the year before, opening for Motley Crue. Blew my mind.
Same here! But without Mama Kin. That was a special treat! A lost performance until now. And this is also when we first heard Knocking on Heaven's Door. It would be a few years before they would release the song with more production and so on. I like this version a little more.
Amazing how well it sounded for back then, concerts these days can’t even get that sound most of the time. The best there was and ever will be for their genre.
This is a rock ' s masterpiece, Guns and Roses are true legends.....nobody like them...all of this guy great musician and rock icon...to see them togheter is amazing! Axl, so intense, so wild, so extreme....best singer and frontman in rock history . He' s really out of this world!!!!
@@TowGunner I agree. It seemed so strange seeing him going into the audience and connecting with his fan's. That sure didn't last long. I saw a comment that compared Axle to Jani and in my opinion their was no comparison. No one connected to his fan's like Jani and as far as vocals went although I loved GnR in the day Axle was tone deaf he just really knew how to use his voice.
When I was in 9th grade, a local Atlanta station, 96 Rock (RIP) played this one night in its entirety. I was in bed when they announced it was coming on and I had to scramble to find a blank tape! 😂 I played that “off the radio” copy until the tape almost wore out! PS - This version of KOHD is 100x better than the studio version that wound up on UYI 2.
Still the most real metal punk country soul band ever! They had it all and Axl was an amazing performer! Slash Izz Duff Steve Adler these guys are amazing!!!
I’m very excited to see Steve's energy, technique and joy when playing the drums is not compared to any drummer that has gone through Gnr! He and his smile are incomparable❤
One of the few concerts from the 80s that's worth multiple re-watching even today and more so in the distant future to show what 80s Rock n Roll was all about. This is the benchmark bands should measure themselves against to see where they have come. Izzy Stradlin really is the definition of cool.
This gig is where every previous rock band aspired to & every band after didn’t entirely understand. The pinnacle of rock music, saw it on mtv when I was 14 years old, still can’t stop watching it.
Thank you. Nostalgia has a way of distorting history. Worked at the Ritz and my buddy Scott Kalvert directed it. But Zeppelin holds the distinction of Greatest
The raw, authentic intensity displayed by Axl combined with the band playing at an epic level made me a fan forever! This show made me a Gunner 4 life! Axl is the King! #GnFnR # 1 all time !!
este video se debería de considerar patrimonio de la humanidad, de las pocas veces que estos señores sabían lo que era esa presentación en el Ritz y si, salieron un poco pasados de copas pero Axl antes de show les dijo que nada de drogas, quería que este show fuera la escencia de lo que sería Guns and Roses, después de la presentación todos se drogaron🤣
I don’t think there is any better video and audio that captures this band’s greatest performance than this show. They were 100% at the top of their game. Loose and just in the moment and Axle smiling you know it’s a good show.
Saw this when it debuted - force of nature. Punk as could get. Hard heavy street hard rock. Crazy dudes. Axl was the super star … all star band before they were stars. I had the album and it took my myths for people to get into it.
Man, this concert just blows my mind. I had seen it many times before but it is truly amazing. THAT Sweet Child O Mine guitar solo executed to utter perfection.
I wouldn't say it's played to perfection... the fast bridge part, where the wah kicks in, sounds actually quite bad... but it's quite raw, I will give it that Now the Japan 92 solo... that we could say was perfect
@@anibalmax1981 Yes you are correct. Considering how stoned Slash usually was in those early days, it’s a wonder he was able to still play as he did. Lol
Io ho c'ero..a questo tour e anche a quello successivo😍😍😍😍🤟🤟🤟sempre sotto il palco..praticamente avevo Axl cosi vicino che potevo toccarlo sopratutto fargli rivolgere lo sguardo verso di noi...sono andata sempre con la mia amica fissata e innamorata ci questa Meravigliosa rockband!!!!
E li AMO anche ora...nonostante gli anni sono sempre...i migliori al mondo ❤❤❤ tra i giovani di adesso..non ho ancora notato nessuna band o personaggi che un mimimo si avvicina a loro...ancora nessunooooo...!!!
Matt pode ser mais técnico, mas sempre fui mais fã do Steven nas baquetas do Guns. Esse groove unico, essa pegada hard rock mais raiz e esse carisma de tocar sempre sorrindo. Até hoje acho a saída dele uma p*ta covardia.
@@Ni_Lopessi,Matt siempre tocó exactamente iguales todos los temas de Steven,y no como el nefasto de Ferrer que en todos los temas le mete un arreglito pedorro,pero yo prefiero mil veces a Matt,que a Steven,por qué Matt me da seguridad
So true and so sad no band came after them. Also sad they never reached their potential…only 3 full length albums of which only 1 album with the original lineup.
Look, I too am an old bitter fart who loves a good "our stuff was the best, kids these days will never know" but honestly if you think GnR hit the peak of rock music and ever since then no other band can compare then I'm pulling you aside like a good friend does and letting you know you're turning into the person you swore you'd never become, lamenting "kids these days..." dismissing or ridiculing anything released past a certain year, insisting only the stuff from your glory days is the best, etc. Appetite For Destruction was my first tape ever, it was my only tape for a long time - there's no other album on Earth I've listened to more times, nothing comes close. I know the album like nobody else, it taught me some bands sometimes write songs so good you have to put them dead last on the album, any higher on the track list and the multiverse might implode in a reverse big bang. As a certified Appetite fanatic, I say with certainty and fact that just as good as 87-88 GnR was the absolute greatness of that incredible turn of the century NYC purist/garage revival, specifically the absolutely genius, flawless and iconic (dramatic but accurate) debut record from The Strokes. Their second album is just as good (personally I love their whole discography, one of the few bands who never ceded even an ounce of integrity or creativity). Yes, if you grew up watching the acrobatics of high energy rock shows in the 80s then The Strokes might seem underwhelming in comparison at first. First time I saw a live performance of them I was stunned how such a killer band on record could be so lifeless on stage, was all I could focus on so I had to watch again and replaying it I realized I was so vexed over the virtual lack of movement that I missed something incredible, without a doubt hands down the most tight "sounds just like the record" live performance I'd ever seen ("Modern Age" Nov 1 2001 on Conan, their debut stateside tv performance, its on YT if you want to see). These days they put on one of the best live shows I've ever seen (and I've been to hundreds, literally!)
I just wanted to live again to have the pleasure of hearing appetite for the first time, nothing compares to discovering music for the first time, the sounds, the rhythms, the lyrics, brutal.
They were all soooo young here!! You can hear how raw Axl's voice still was, def matured a bit later on...he has always been such a presence on a stage!
There was a time back in the 80s when all the new bands looked and sounded identical...snd becaus of this, the genre was killing itself. Then...Guns N Roses came on the scene with one of the best debut albums ever and made it exciting again!
What set Axl from the rest is he didn't try to imitate or look like his idol. He just went out and be himself and go crazy. Fans love it and GNR got big!
