Bad, really bad.......2005-11-24

Here is the premise of "Appetite for Reconstruction" (1999).

All twelve songs from "Appetite For Destruction" have been re-recorded with original Guns N' Roses guitarist Tracci Gunns. The album features twelve singers--has-beens and also-rans, from the sunset strip scene. The songs are given a techno-industrial spin.

Doesn't look good on paper? Well it sounds a lot worse than it looks. This CD SUCKS!!! It's unlistenable. The new interpretations don't work at all. The songs aren't intriguing or catchy, they're just ruined. This whole CD is a joke. If you are a fan of Guns N' Roses, you will get NOTHING, NADA, ZIP out of this CD.

Cannot be done.......2002-12-29

Guns N Roses is one of those bands whose songs simply cannot be remade. Their style cannot be reproduce. They(Guns n Roses)on the other hand can make virtually any song better. The Spaghetti Incident is evidence of this statement. I agree with one of the people here that said Axl Rose and Slash are one of the best duos of all time. I believe Mr Rose's raw musical talent has been overlooked because of shallow people's petty interest in his personal life and his troubled ways. Slash is simply the most soulful musician I have ever heard with maybe the exception of Ludwig Van Beethoven. I have studied and am trained in classical music and have studied the great composers in music history(Beethoven,Mozart,Chopin,etc..) therefore I can appreciate the exceptional musical talent and deep emotion these two individuals put into their music, especially Mr. Rose. The songs on this tribute album should have never been made for you simply cannot remake any Guns n Roses song.

DO NOT BUY THIS INSULT TO GUNS AND ROSES.......2002-08-08

I rate myself as one of the most dedicated Guns and roses fans on the planet, in my opinion appetite for destruction, the origional guns album is the best rock album of all time. I have every gnr album, and video. I naturally rushed out to buy this and cannot believe how bad it is, it makes me cringe and feel embarassed to be part of the human race. It sounds like kids singing along to a play gnr on bontempi organ book for beginners. It is just quite awfull, I would buy anything else other than this album, its just a drinks coaster for me now. If you dont have the original Appetite for destruction, buy it now and enjoy the ultimate rock group, if you already own it, well you dont need many other albums do you !!

[Stinks].......2002-07-10

I really wanted to like this disc, but I really didn't. It was an utter disappointment, even for a GNR and Jizzy Pearl fan such as myself. Wow, I mean, this was so bad, it could literally make you paint the walls with your lunch.

THERE IS NO ROCK N' ROLL ON THIS CD!!! don't buy it..............2001-08-02

I am a die hard G N'R fan and let me tell you this CD bites the big one! If you're looking for Rock N' Roll, congratulations, you just bought the WRONG Cd!!!!

The whole thing is a compilation of TECHNO-NEW AGE dance music that just REPEATS the main riff of each song over and over and over and over again and again and again. All the lyrics, if they even decide to include them, are all computerized techno stuff. It sounds like this whole CD was created by one guy and his turn table, scratching and mixing Techno Rave music.

This CD is proof the band will never get back together again since they just don't care how bad their songs get destroyed.

If you're still interested, goto EBay and I'll sell it to you for 5 bucks!
