Other clips of the group that reached striking numbers are “Sweet Child O ‘Mine” (692 million), “Do not Cry” (471 million) and “Estranged” (111 million). Guns N ‘Roses’ classic debut album Appetite For Destruction (1987) has recently returned to the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart after being 29 years without reaching a position like this. The LP came back after the release of the Locked N ‘Loaded special box on June 29.
The luxury edition of Appetite For Destruction contains 73 songs – including 49 tracks never before released – divided into four CDs and seven vinyls. A super-luxury version also includes a 96-page book with unpublished photos from Axl Rose’s personal archive and other limited edition items.
In a recent poll, “Rocket Queen” was voted the best song by Appetite For Destruction. The album is one of the most successful releases in history, with 28 million copies sold since 1987.
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
