Appetite for Destruction Turns 20

Appetite for Destruction Turns 20 Years Old Axl Rose

More rockin’ nostalgia! To celebrate this summer’s 20th Anniversary of Guns N’ Roses’ 1987 debut album Appetite for Destruction, I wanted to put together a compilation of covers like Hypeful did for OK Computer. Midway through collecting covers of Destruction tracks, however, I discovered what can only be described as a major deficiency of good Destruction covers.

Instead of listening to poor Axl karaoke, I thought Hypeful readers might enjoy a dozen guns/roses-themed tracks to bring you to your shun-nah-nah-nah-nah knees!!!

MP3s:
The Alarmists - “Hired Gun”
Andrew Bird - “Honeysuckle Rose”
Beirut - “Elephant Gun”
Elvis Costello - “Good Year For The Roses”
Final Fantasy - “Flare Gun”
The Spinto Band - “Kiss From A Rose”
MIA - “Bucky Done Gun”
Sufjan Stevens - “Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming”
Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - “God Gave Me A Gun”
Tom Petty - “The Golden Rose”
Stars - “Celebration Guns”
Whiskeytown - “Somebody Remembers the Rose”
