Guns N Roses Live at CBGB in New York (1987)

Back in 1987 across America there were posters continuously being pinned to walls Bedrooms across the land were being adorned with the rock and roll imagery of one band Guns N Roses It was at this time that the band were invited to the iconic stage of CBGBs the home of punk Rather than lay down a riproaring set of leatherclad rock and roll the band instead put together a stripped back acoustic set Yet despite their lack of electricity they held the audience in the palm of their hands It was a few months after the release of Appetite For Destructionthe bands breakthrough LPwhen they were invited to play the small CBGB club gig but the band were far from flying up the charts In fact with the record stalling at 65 on the charts the group were intent on gigging around the circuit
