    This record changed my life. I remember getting it as a young teen and me, my sister and my cousin used to always sneak downstairs and listen to it because my parents didn't want us to be listening to it. It was so unlike all the pop crap my friends were listening to at the time. The music just sounded "dangerous" and it was like.. you knew you shouldn't be listening to it but you couldn't stop.

    I didn't like it after listening to it recently. The guitars were pretty sweet but that was about it. Best debut period for me would be a toss up between Ten and Led Zeppelin.

    personally though..I prefer the Illusions more than AFD.
    "Think About You" is probably me fave GN'R track ever .

    Love this one. But it stops here for me. I liked a handful of tunes from each of the Illusion albums, but they were simply too long to listen to that voice for too long.

    Besides, Axl's penchant for pulling the Sly Stone, no-show act turned me off to 'em. I was lucky enough to see a whole show when they opened for Aerosmith for the AFD tour. Very cool.

    Great album, but I think the UYI albums are better. And Chinese Democracy will become the best album of GNR.

    The perfect fucking album at the perfect fucking time

    Loud, arrogant, raunch, beautiful - changed rock for ever - Even if you're not a fan of GNR, you cannot argue with the ridiculous effect this album had on Rock music

    I've heard about 2,200 release dates for that album, and Axl hs always managed to push each one off.

    My favourite song off it is I think about you, by a country mile.

    I have been rockin this album latley, especially some rocket queen. Too bad if they go on tour I would think Axl is still banned from St. Louis so I would have to go a little further to see them, would be worth it if the original lineup was back together.

    HA! Is anyone a fan??? :eek: Is anyone NOT a fan should be the question. :D;) APPETITE kicks everyones ASS! I bow down before this album. It's just one of those undeniably classic ones. Groundbreaking as someone else mentioned! Definitely. Without a doubt one of my fav albums of all time. Looooove it.

    And oh sweet lord...don't even get me started on ROCKET QUEEN!!!!!!!!
