Episode 24: 'Appetite For Destruction' with Skunk Manhattan

"Do you know where you are?"


American musician and producer Skunk Manhattan joins Mike to
welcome you to the Jungle in this edition of 'My Classic Album'
as we break down the must successful debut album of all time:
1987's 'Appetite For Destruction' by Guns N' Roses!


Mike and Skunk delve in to the true story of an album that has
influenced them both heavily and began Skunk's own journey into
music. Together they try to explain just what makes the classic
GN'R line-up of Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Izzy Stradlin and
Steven Adler and this album so special.


 


How did Elton John's 'Your Song' influence one of the songs on
the album?


What were the x-rated lyrics that Slash originally fought to be
the chorus for 'Paradise City'?


After 23 episodes of 'My Classic Album' which track on 'Appetite
For Destruction' holds the distinction of being Mike's favourite
song of all time?


 


All these questions and more answered on this awesome edition of
'My Classic Album'.
