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!)

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.

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.

Later that year, my Mom (who I share a birthday with) and her friend took me and my sister to see them open for Aerosmith at Great Woods in Mansfield, MA - my first concert ever! G n' R blew Aerosmith away that night. They had such a dangerous vibe to them and the quality of the songs was undeniable regardless of how old you were. They were easily the most exciting band of that era.

The boys were so bad ass they won music awards in 1990 for the 1987 release of Appetite for destruction. I watched them win the award live and said that was truly awesome. I really like the way the band smiles when they were on stage. They don't smile as much now, i saw them twice last year in 2023. The music was great, but 35 years has put a strain on Axel voice. At least we have these videos to remind us how great they were in thier prime, its hard to beat the original line up. Axel doesn't hammer the air to the beat of the drum no more, i missed his enthusiasm. Still all in all they were the only band i saw twice last year, which says a lot since i watched, AC DC, Metallica, Tool, Judas priest, iron maiden, last year live. GNR was still the only band worth seeing twice in one year. Last year they played 3.5 hour sets, easily got your moneys worth. This one hour set is still priceless.
