Unlike other hard rock bands that emerged from LA in the late 1980's. Guns N Roses didn't look slick. They didn't wear spandex. They didn't wear makeup. In fact, they looked as if they didn't bathe or change their clothes all that much. Also unlike most of their peers at the time, their music had a whole lot more merit. All one has to do is listen to Appetite for Destruction and any release by Poison, say, or Enuff 'Znuff, and you will notice the difference immediately. It isn't GREAT MUSIC, to be sure, but it does rock. Sometimes, that's all you need. This is a good song about a horrible subject, "Mr. Brownstone", live at the Ritz during their peak of popularity.
