35 Years ago 1987 Guns and Roses released their debut album Appetite for Destruction. The album eventually peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200 and became the seventh best-selling album of all time in the United States, as well as the best-selling debut album. With over 30 million copies sold worldwide. Radio stations originally did not want to play the band's single "Welcome to the Jungle", nor had MTV wanted to air its music video. However, after several months of lobbying the network, Geffen general manager Al Coury convinced MTV to play the video just once a night for three nights. "Welcome to the Jungle" became the most requested video on MTV's network, a success that Coury pitched to radio stations while sending them promo copies.
Singles were "Welcome to the Jungle" (#7), "Sweet Child o' Mine" (#1 #7 Mainstream Rock), and "Paradise City" (#5 #14 Mainstream Rock.)
