A CD that, in my humble opinion, changed the history of Hard Rock and beyond.
Fantastic music that has the great virtue of surprising and moving at every listen without fading over time.
By AR (Anonima Recensori)
It brought back to life the triad of sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll in an era, the ’80s, when everyone was cheerful fools put there to say nonsense or have fun.
The compactness of the guitars... is among the best ever heard.

It is the best-selling debut CD of all time, thanks to which the group topped all the charts.
It will forever remain one of the best rock CDs, perhaps the last truly significant one in the history of hard rock.
By BretHart
"'Welcome to the Jungle' is definitely a masterpiece of hard rock, decisive riffs, Axl Rose’s vitriolic voice, a solo as technical as rude."
"This CD might have sold more than warranted thanks to the Guns’ image, but it certainly does not deserve less in its genre."
By nikko89
It simmered with anger, bled with pain, shivered with terror, oozed with passion, sobbed with love, screamed with hatred, and stood up with a non-heroic attitude that automatically makes heroes.
The album was as fresh as a newly opened bottle of Jack Daniel’s.
