Added DiffLines:

* VindicatedByHistory: At the time of its release, many critics complained that the album's massive success with consumers was fostered by the taboo of "SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll" during TheEighties, when much of the cultural atmosphere in the US became informed by the [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Reagan]]-[[UsefulNotes/GeorgeHWBush Bush]] Administration, the AIDS crisis, and the popularity of Creator/{{MTV}}. Retrospectively, however, ''Appetite for Destruction'' was seen in a much more positive light, being named as one of the greatest albums of all time.

* EpicRiff: "Sweet Child o' Mine". "Welcome to the Jungle" as well.
** The riff for "Sweet Child o' Mine" is an interesting example, in that it started off as just Slash messing around. Axl had happened to hear it and write lyrics to it. [[QualityByPopularVote The fans love of the song made it epic]] when the band thought it was just going to be album filler.
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Axl's divorce from the woman who inspired "Sweet Child o' Mine" which stemmed from him beating her.
* SongAssociation: "Paradise City" has become affiliated to ''VideoGame/BurnoutParadise''. The song is used as the theme to that game, which takes place in a fictional city called Paradise City.
