Guns N’ Roses Gets Its Appetite Back: Classic Album Set for Re-release.

21/5/2018

Guns N’ Roses have announced the release of an expanded version of 1987’s Appetite for Destruction, the band’s blockbuster debut album. The new edition includes in-progress demos and unreleased tracks. Appetite, which is still the best-selling debut album ever, is re-released as the band embarks on its third year of a reunion tour, after years of seeming like it was never going to happen. News of the reissue came after a billboard of the original album artwork was discovered in Camden, North London.
