Happy 62nd Birthday, Lars Ulrich!

“I was sitting on the airplane going through a bunch of cassettes that I finagled over at our record company, and one of them was Appetite. When 'It’s So Easy,' the second song, came on, it just blew my f***kin' head off. I had never heard anything with that kind of attitude. It wasn’t just what was said — it was the way Axl said it. It was so venomous. It was so f***ing real and so f***ing angry.” - Lars (SPIN, 2021)

This Day in GNRistory: December 26th, 1987 - Guns N' Roses kicked of the first of four shows at Perkins Palace in Pasadena, California. Cinderella's Fred Coury continued to fill-in for an injured Steven Adler.

"The Perkins Palace shows were some of the best shows we'd ever done...and Fred Coury was playing. It was awful for Steve: he was standing there in his Clint Eastwood shawl, with one of those batter's helmet hats with the two straws leading into cans of beer and his arm in a cast. I sort of felt sorry for him. He played tambourine; he was so pi**ed off." - Slash's autobiography

Plus, "Appetite For Destruction" ended 1987 at #52 on the Billboard 200. GNR's rise was still ascending.
