Bad Boys, Great Noize
Twenty years ago last Tuesday (July 21), Guns N’ Roses released Appetite for Destruction, one of the greatest hard rock albums of all time. And the following Thursday was Slash’s 42nd birthday. So, considering all of that, plus a comment I got on my previous GnR post, brings us to today’s post. After Appetite was released, Guns N’ Roses continued touring, headlining clubs and opening for other, more established acts. As the singles “Welcome to the Jungle” then “Sweet Child o' Mine” hit, the Gunners got huge – probably bigger than any of the members could have imagined.
The live recording Bad Boys, Great Noize captures Guns N’ Roses in that period between releasing Appetite for Destruction and becoming megastars. It was recorded Dec. 26, 1987 at Perkin’s Palace (now the Raymond Theatre) in Pasadena, Calif. Unfortunately, I only have half (disc 1) of this set. There are another four or five songs – including a nine-minute version of “Paradise City” – that are on another disk.
