So the boys are getting back together(well, most of them anyways). Therefore, this new year may be the year of Guns 'N Roses. Probably not, but it will be interesting to watch. Will they still have enough juice to be interesting live? Will Axl walk off stage at some point? Unanswered questions surely to be addressed in the coming months.
Whether or not the re-united Guns will be interesting is certainly up for debate. What isn't up for debate is the impact of the band's original incarnation. They came to popularity in a sea of hair metal bands and clearly stood out above the rest. While the band continued to produce some good music through part of the Use Your Illusion double LP, their most important work was their seminal debut album, Appetite for Destruction.
Appetite was one of the soundtrack LPs of my college years. This album just rocks. Sure, it featured overplayed hits such as Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child o' Mine, and Paradise City. But the rest of the album was filled with other tunes that were just as good or better than the "hits". The song that closed out that first album is my favorite and is the song of the day to kick off 2016.
