2021年11月18日My favorite release from them is their 1st album from 1987 and my second favorite released from them is their double EP from 1988 (which includes their first studio release, their EP from 1986), and there are some great and good songs from their 3rd and 2nd albums (which were released simultaneously in 1991) that are on the music level of their 1st album.
IMO what distinguished GUNS N' ROSES from other hard rock bands is that they merged elements of punk in their music regarding many songs tempos on their first 3 studio releases (from 1986, 1987 and 1988)!
