I don’t know if it was THE first album I bought when I first started collecting music (I honestly don’t know which one was), but it was definitely one of the first.

One of my all time fav albums and a tone I still chase as a guitar player when recording!! When you really look at how Slash and Izzy were setting wise on the amps and the lack of pedals used its shocking how little they used distortion and gain settings on the amps/pedals to get their tones. In terms of Rhythm guitar work Izzy on this album really does some cool things and almost has a Bob Weir quality to his rhythm playing. Also his soloing in Think About You and Nightrain are amazing! Small part of me has that curious factor of how AFD would have sounded if made by the original line up with Tracii Guns on lead guitar. Closest we will get is the version of Anything Goes from that Hollywood Rose album that had Tracii do guitar additions to as bonus tracks and a version of Think About You from that time recorded from the back of the room for some college radio interview they all did. The true magic of GnR will always be Izzy coming in with a song idea, Slash doing his magic on top of that and then Axl coming in with his vocals. Closest we have gotten to that magic is the song 'Ghost' from Slash's first solo album. THAT sounds like a modern day GnR song!! Tracii was on that wretched Appetite for Reconstruction album that came out like 1999 or 2000. I think Gilby was on a few tracks too. I listened to it once and who knows what happened to it again.

35 Years?!
DAMN.
But back on topic, one of the first albums I bought with my own money (the other being Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Deluxe) and I don't regret making that purchase. Still one of the best debut albums (unless Live Like A Suicide counts as their debut).
