July 21, 1987: Guns N' Roses Release 'Appetite For Destruction'

Hard rock band Guns N' Roses released their debut studio album Appetite For Destruction. The album, featuring hits like "Welcome to the Jungle," "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Paradise City," would sell more than 30 million copies worldwide.

The album would also feature a scandalizing "robot rape" cover that was nixed for the less offensive band-members-as-skull-faces-on-a-cross.
