Appetite for Destruction: When Dinosaurs Roamed

I don't know that grunge killed Guns N' Roses so much as Guns N' Roses killed Guns N' Roses but, regardless, Appetite for Destruction lives on in radio waves and arenas everywhere. "Welcome to the Jungle," "Paradise City," and "Sweet Child of Mine" are pretty close to unkillable. They're also reflective of a different time in the pop landscape, a bigger and louder and more leathery time. A time When Dinosaurs Roamed, as is the theme for this episode considering the innovation and success of, along with Guns N' Roses, The Cult's Electric and Def Leppard's Hysteria. Throw up your best sign of the horns and bang your head, it's time to rock.
