Post by: axlssis on July 22, 2014, 08:52:44 PM Don't remember the exact day of release, but sweet child went to #1 on Aug 6, 1988.....exactly 1 week before my son was born. My first copy was also on cassette.

Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: Bodhi on July 23, 2014, 01:08:22 AM I was too young for "Appetite" when it came out, but my first Guns N Roses tape was a "November Rain" single from 1992 with "Sweet Child O Mine" as a b side. Needless to say I discovered Appetite very quickly after that. They became my favorite band in the summer of 92, and still are.

Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: rebelhipi on July 23, 2014, 07:06:42 AM I discoreved guns in casettes too. From my sisters music collection. Appetite, Lies and both Illusions, in around 1999-2000 when i was 4-5 years old.
I also discovered zeppelin and the a little before that. Still to this day my Favorite bands are Gn'R and Zeppelin. ;D ( i never change) Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: Buddha_Master on July 23, 2014, 10:19:23 AM My first copies of ALL Guns N Roses albums were cassettes! You bought Chinese Democracy on a cassette tape? Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: Buddha_Master on July 23, 2014, 10:27:27 AM I still remember the awesome dangerous feeling of going into this Sam Goody store as a kid and the dude sold me Appetite with that parental advisory sticker on it. Appetite was one of the first albums to get that shit on it. Felt like I was getting away with something dirty leaving that store.

Good one! :hihi: Appetite and Lies were bought as tapes for myself. Then vinyls for the Illusions and after that it was cds. This reminds of the days when you could walk into a record store and they had stacks and stacks of vinyls all over the place. And some tapes.... And of course the vinyl singles.... Then it started shifting towards cds... And then the stores just faded away. /jarmo Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: LIGuns on July 23, 2014, 09:30:11 PM I wasn't into GNR right away..They were the big thing in my school but I was into still into the previous fad, the Beastie Boys..Due to them I started listening to Run DMC than other rap acts...On a family trip, I think Oct 1988, my brother was listening to AFD (on cassette) and it finally hit me..I've loved them ever since.....
Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: HBK on July 24, 2014, 02:44:26 PM Yes,,, My fist album in cassette white with fist cover in 1988 :D
:beer: Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: draguns on July 24, 2014, 07:51:39 PM It was October of 1987 that I fell hard for GNR. We had just got cable TV. I was watching MTV with my father. A montage of video came up which were George Michael, Bon Jovi, and GNR. My dad told me that I should listen to this band. A couple of days later, I did. Got AFD and my love affair of GNR has continued ever since.

On tape! /jarmo On cassette tape indeed, got introduced to it by a class mate when I was 9 the week AFD was released! Got hooked since then I guess! : ok: Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: rebelhipi on July 28, 2014, 09:44:44 AM AFD Sounds really good on cassette maybe even better than in CD Theres something about that cassette sound that works with GNR.
Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: Tyson on July 29, 2014, 02:31:24 AM Proud to say it's the first tape I ever owned. Use Your Illusion I was my first CD.
Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: D-GenerationX on July 30, 2014, 01:48:24 PM My Mother was not keen on my getting this one, due to that nasty sticker stuck on the front. And because I was 11.
What saved me is that Dad is a huge rock fan and started hearing a lot about these guys. He did a little research and assured Mom it was just bad language and nothing satanic or otherwise subversive. So he smoothed it over and we bought the vinyl. About halfway through 'It's So Easy', he turns to me and says "Well, your mother can never hear this. This is a walkman band, not a play it on your boombox band." (God...look at that last paragraph : "walkman", "boombox".....man, am I old.) Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: gnrfan1797 on August 09, 2014, 10:02:45 AM I still have all the cassettes. Just found the termintaor 2 single with civil war n yoy could be mine.

I played the shit out of that thing. Wore it out. Just loved that song, and still do. Consider it the best songs on either UYI album. Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: Mysteron on August 22, 2014, 06:36:20 PM I know people who listened to this album
And they never reached Rocket Queen until years later. One of the greatest songs of all time Naughty step awaits for sure Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: D-GenerationX on August 22, 2014, 10:43:37 PM The way I got into 'Estranged' was rewinding my tape too far back after 'You Could Be Mine'.
Eventually, I had to hear the rest of that song. Title: Re: AFD 27 years old!! Post by: rebelhipi on August 23, 2014, 04:34:08 AM The way I got into 'Estranged' was rewinding my tape too far back after 'You Could Be Mine'. The casette copy my sister made me of illusion II ended at you could be mine. the day i actually listened the album from hers original copy, and almost accidentally heard don't cry alt. and my world, i was chocked.Eventually, I had to hear the rest of that song. What no no this cant be on the real album, you made this. why would they put two dont cry's and a techno song in there?? Needles to say that original copy became mine very soon after. Now i find those songs conplete the Illusions experience. Casettes Rock |
