Music all the records of the worst of the worst to the best, according to critic of Rolling Stone

The discography of Guns n ‘Roses It is short but impactful. There are only six albums released, but over 100 million copies sold globally. It was not supposed to be a long work, anyway: the band of Axl Rose (voice), Slash (guitar), Izzy Stradlin (guitar), DUFF MCKAGAN (low) and Steven Adler (battery) It was like an erupted volcano, either in power or especially in duration.

But before imploding, the group, which would later add (several) other members, offered (some) important records for the history of Rock and Roll. All of them were ranked, from the worst to the best, and commented on this list. Check it out!

All Guns N ‘Roses records of the worst to the best

6) “The Spaghetti Incident?” (1993)

Guns N ‘Roses’ intention in releasing his covers album was noble. The band wanted some of their idols, especially from the punk rock segment, to become better known – in a movement similar to that adopted by Metallic Since the 1980s. Nevertheless, “The Spaghetti Incident?” sins in choice of repertoire and in the very creation of rereading. “Since I Don’t Have You”with its curious music video, it remains one of the most “that is this one?” From the GN’R trajectory “Hair of the Dog” (Nazareth) I just want to go back and listen to the original. “Ain’t It Fun” (Dead Boys), with the participation of Michael Monroe (HANOI ROCKS), is a rare prominence, as well as “New Rose” (The Damned) with Duff McKagan on vocals.

5) Chinese Democracy (2008)

You can’t call Chinese Democracy “wronged”, but the only album of Guns N ‘Roses in the 21st century (and only without Slash and Duff McKagan) seemed to have been the target of a tantrum – justified – generated around his dragged process of creation: practically a decade. It took me so long to leave that when it went public, it sounded late, because it explored influences of rock/industrial metal and naked metal, in vogue just when the songs were created… a decade earlier. Aesthetics aside, there are good compositions there that resisted the test of time, as “Better”, “There was a time”, “This I Love” and “Prostitute”. Still, it is below all the other unpublished works of GN’R.

4) Gn’r Lies (1988)

With only eight tracks – four of them from the EP “Live Fake” Live?!*@ Like a suicide (1986) -, Gn’r lies It is basically a mini album, but enters the list for bringing some unprecedented material. Its second half has four acoustic ranges, one being the rereading of “You’re Crazy”originally heard in APPETITE FOR DESTRATION (1987). This part of the record sounds positively unpretentious, exception made to the melodious “Patience”which was not by chance turned hit. Legal songs, but little to do with Guns of that moment. The inaugural piece, corresponding to Live?!*@ Like a suicideit’s a roll. And see what the destination is like: the notoriety that the group would want to give years later to their punk idols with “The Spaghetti Incident?” It was eventually given to Rose Tattoo with your fierce cover of “Nice Boys”.

3) Use your illusion I (1991)

Since its release, the pair Use your illusion Motivates a discussion between fans: What would it be like if the two albums came out like just one, bringing together the “best songs”? Difficult, because it is complicated even to see these two works separately. They are one, albeit distributed in two, as it would sell more than if it came to public as a double album. When “force” individual analysis, however,, Use your Illusion I It is a little below for the presence of fillers like “Back off Bitch”, “Don’t Damn Me”, “Garden of Eden” and “You Ain’t The First”. At the same time, there are strong songs like the opening crack “Right Next Door To Hell” + “Dust n ‘Bones” (with Izzy Stradlin on vocal) + “Live and Let Die” (Wings COVER), the emblematic “The Garden” (with Alice Cooper), the canastron “Bad Obsession” and the quasi-program “Eat”responsible for setting the tone of what would be heard in II.

2) Use your Illusion II (1991)

Besides having less fillers, Use your Illusion II stands out for sounding a little more experimental and bold compared to I. Here, Guns N ‘Roses seemed to start preparing terrain for what would come forward, in a transition never completed due to its own implosion. Despite the bad joke “My World”from Tosca “Get in the Ring” and the unnecessary alternative version of “Don’t Cry”the repertoire heard in II Surprise. The elaborate “Civil War”, “Locomotive” and “Foreign”the melodious “Yesterdays”the strong “14 Years” (Again with Stradlin on vocal) and the rock “You Could Be Mine” These are some of the many moments that make your hearing very interesting.

1) Appetite for Destruction (1987)

There was no way to put another album other than this in the first position. Seventh best -selling album in the history of the United States, APPETITE FOR DESTRATION It caused a revolution in popular rock of the 1980s. The quintet, still with Steven Adler on drums, practically expelled hard rock keyboards and synthesizers and threw away everyone’s lacquis – including their own – to give a little more fury and aggressiveness to the music of that period. Even your less inspired songs – “Think About You” and “Anything Goes” -They seem to have purpose, as they give some breath to the listener for immediately subsequent moments, such as Mega-Hit “Sweet Child O’Mine” and the intense “Rocket Queen”. Outside other highlights such as opening “Welcome to the Jungle”quasi-punk “It’s So Easy”the porreta “Mr. Brownstone” and “Paradise City”which goes from almost rap verses to a sticky chorus. It is, above all, an authentic album, responsible for encapsulating what those five musicians actually experienced in the period. If it became a caricature work for someone, much was due to their unbridled reproduction. “Guilt” of the huge success, after all.
