Since it is the week of Appetite for Destruction, why don't we all recollect on the very first time we heard it!? The 5 W's: Who? (if you were with someone) What? (...er what format did you buy it in Cassette, LP, C.d.) Where?? When? (time, a general date, age)? Why? (what made you wany to listen to it) etc...

And so here it goes:? I was 14 years old and it was in Aug/Sept 87' and I remember sitting in my bedroom on the floor listening to it on theis little piss ass stereo.? I loved Jungle from the moment I heard it on the Pepsi Power Hour on Much Music and I knew I had to have it.? And honestly, when It's So Easy and Mr. Brownstone played, I thought for sure it was Slash singing? ? I just imagined that that voice had to come from him....and I didn't realize it was actually Axl until I saw them live in Halifax in May 88' and they opened with ISE and I was like WTF?? .? Hearing GN'R for the first time was a life changer...I had to have every Hit Parader, Circus and Metal Edge magazine with GN'R in it....I had the band plastered on my walls...crazy shit...? Man it's a Great album!? I also remember everytime Axl swore I was like "oh, shit" better turn it down before mom hears.?

haha, ya me too!!! same thing, but i saw jungle on a vhs that my older bro taped....i disocovered the magic of music after i heard appettite...

I was 10 years old it was 1991 or so. I heard a song from my sisters stereo as I was walking by and loved it. I don't know what it was but it just hit me. She turned off the stereo mid song and left with friends so I went into her room, and took out the tape and read guns n roses. I rewinded the song that was playing and played it again and listened to it from start to finish and loved it. As I got older I loved GNR even more.

The song that got me hooked? Rocket Queen. Still my favorite GNR song to this day. 

[Im-Fn-Crazy-MAN!]

What format?
CD format.

When?
I can't remember the very first time.  However, the first time I properly listened to AFD was in 2000.  I was 16.  When I was even younger (6-7 yrs old maybe?) - I had many cousins that were into GN'R.  Therefore, I heard AFD many times just by hanging' out with them.

Who was I with?
I guess I was alone (back in 2000).

Where?
Not sure.  Probably in my bedroom. 

Why?
I heard that Robin Finck was playing in a new version of the band.  Robin was a hero for me; an idol.  I bought my first guitar after watching shitty recordings of NIN @ Woodstock '94.

I'm 27 now and I can remember, in 1988, sitting in my living room and listening to Brownstone on cassette.  Not only did I think that it was Slash singing, but the song's grittiness and realism made me feel uncomfortable and dirty.
