Album Notes
Guns N' Roses: W. Axl Rose (vocals, synthesizer, percussion); Slash (acoustic & electric guitars); Izzy Stradlin (guitar, background vocals, percussion); Duff "Rose" McKagan (bass, background vocals); Steven Adler (drums).
Recorded at Rumbo Studios, Canoga Park, California; Take One Studio, Burbank, California; Can Am Studio, Tarzana, California.
Already a legend in its own meagre lifetime, this startling debut shrouded itself in controversy, from its original Robert Williams artwork to Axl Rose's unblinking accounts of LA's underbelly. This mawkish storytelling, combined with a brattish collective swagger and a surprisingly mature approach to their songs, guaranteed Guns N' Roses a speedy notoriety that was to serve their legend brilliantly. From the laconic "Paradise City" to the achingly beautiful "Sweet Child O' Mine," or the furious "Welcome To The Jungle," the record brims with a brutal integrity. An album they could never surpass even if they had stayed together.
Editorial Reviews
Rated #27 in Rolling Stone's 100 Best Albums Of The Eighties survey.
Rolling Stone (11/01/1989)
Included in Q's Best Metal Albums Of All Time - The sweariest rock album ever made...a riotous celebration of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll...
Q (08/01/2000)

Q (07/01/2001)
[T]he chiming intro and druggy harmonies of 'Paradise City' reached back to the Byrds.
Spin
A genuine rock classic and one of the greatest albums of the last 20 years....It was loud, nasty, caused public outcry and sold over 25 million copies.
Kerrang
Slash's leering, boogie-rock riffs reeked of danger and the Stones...
Alternative Press
Shrieked in registers so high they never wanna come down....The greatest album ever made about how you can't run away from yourself.
