Guns N’ Roses‘ Ex-Drummer Steven Adler’s annouce unexpected annoucement

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll coalesced on more than one occasion during the making of Guns N’ Roses‘ 1987 debut Appetite for Destruction. All of the debaucheries molded one of the most ferociously trashy rock and roll albums in history and opened the floodgates for GN’R, with the deliverance of the band’s trinity of holy hits—”Welcome to the Jungle,” “Paradise City,” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine.”And when it came to the closing Appetite track, Axl Rose also wanted specific “noises” to fill any gaps.

Rock and roll, drugs, and sex came together multiple times while recording Guns N’ Roses 1987 breakthrough album Appetite for Destruction. With the band’s biggest smashes, “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Paradise City,” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” all of the debaucheries shaped one of the most viciously trashy rock and roll albums in history and opened the floodgates for GN’R.

Steve Thompson, who helped mix Appetite for Destruction remembers the helping bring the porn-like recording session to life. “That was a very interesting part of the session,” said Thompson. “We’re doing ‘Rocket Queen’ and Axl comes up to me and says, ‘Steve, I need some sex noises on this.’ Okay, no problem. I think I had tapes of ’70s porno movies that I would splice together to get the audio, and I’d give him the sex noises he needs.”
