In an article for Louder , Myles Kennedy wrote a piece paying tribute to one of his favorite albums: Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses . Throughout the paragraphs, Myles explains why he appreciates the album so much and shares a bit of his personal history with it.
“From the first time we heard it, Appetite For Destruction came from a completely different place,” Kennedy wrote. “It was primal – a hybrid of the best of 70s rock and punk rock. The songwriting was incredible. Axl sounded great. And, of course, there was Slash , who is a phenomenon in his own right. With aggressive production, it was a brilliant album from start to finish, but the overwhelming element that Guns N’ Roses reintroduced to rock was danger; you never imagined what they were going to do next.”
Myles Kennedy recounts that he was still living with his parents at 17 or 18 years old when he first saw Guns N' Roses on TV with the music video for "Welcome To The Jungle." "I sat in front of the TV with my mouth hanging open. It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. I drove my parents crazy with that album. I bought it on cassette and I still can't throw it away," he said.
"There was also a rumor at the time that Axl had brought a girl to the studio when they recorded 'Rocket Queen'. When you're a kid, you think, 'Wow! I'm hearing two people having sex!'" Read the full article.
