For a brief period in the late 80’s and early 90’s, Guns N’ Roses was the biggest band on the planet. After the release of their first album Appetite for Destruction in 1987, the band toured the world furiously for 16 months, quickly growing from an opening act to a stadium headliner. Appetite still holds the distinction of being the best-selling debut album of all-time, certified 18X Platinum by the RIAA.
