Sunday Albums of Guitar Gods Guns N’ Roses - Appetite for Destruction 1/5 Intro 1987. Slash's riffs and Sunset Strip chaos hit tape. Appetite for Destruction felt like a bar fight, reshaping hard rock. Here’s "Welcome to the Jungle" live. Pure danger and swagger.

A timeless gem. Steve Stevens and Harold Faltermeyer delivering the Top Gun Anthem. Even Tom Cruise wishes he had this tone.

Quick correction on 1/5: Warren was born in Chicago in 1963, then raised in San Diego. My bad on the sloppy edit. Thanks to those who caught it!!

🎸 Wake Up to Guitar Greatness 🎸 Today’s Pick: Jerry Garcia – "Sugaree" (Live, ‘74) Rise, Deadheads! Jerry spoke in bends. Sugaree was the sermon.

Good morning X, woke up with riffs in my head and no plans in sight. Happy Sunday, legends.

Lynch’s tone on this album is untouchable.

A rare gem. Marty Friedman’s Megadeth audition. The moment exotic melody met thrash aggression.

Underrated Guitar Hero: Warren DeMartini 1/5 – Roots Born in '63 in San Diego, Warren DeMartini stood out in Southern California's club scene with his precision and tone. "The Morning After" live from The Rock Palace highlights his melodic instincts before flashiness.

Blink-182 “All the Small Things” live in 2000. Chaos, hooks, and pure pop-punk joy.

Lynch’s tone on this album is untouchable.

🎸 Wake Up to Guitar Greatness 🎸 Today’s Pick: Tipton & Downing – "The Green Manalishi" (Live Aid, ‘85) Rise, Priest maniacs! Tipton and Downing ripped Live Aid apart. Green Manalishi turned molten.

5/5 – Legacy Often cited by fans and VH1 as one of the most underrated guitarists of the era. DeMartini proved great solos do not need excess. His phrasing still gets studied because it holds up decades later.

4/5 – Why Underrated? The 80s rewarded speed and flash. DeMartini rewarded restraint. “Nobody Rides for Free” live at the M3 Festival in 2012 shows his darker, cinematic side and proves the phrasing still hits decades later.

3/5 – Style & Gear Warren avoided tapping and shred excess. Melody, vibrato, pocket, and tone came first. "Invasion of Your Privacy" shows that balance perfectly, and the official “Lay It Down” video captures his feel and control over flash.

2/5 – Breakout Ratt detonated in 1984 with "Out of the Cellar." DeMartini co-wrote “Round and Round” and helped turn lean riffs into arena anthems with melodic solos you can hum.
