Flashback: Let’s take a look back now to 1988 when they were the hottest rock band on the planet. Appetite for Destruction, their debut LP, came out in the summer of 1987, but it built very slowly and most people didn’t hear it until early the following year when MTV put “Welcome to the Jungle” in heavy rotation.

The channel awarded them Best New Artist at the VMAs that year and let them play “Welcome to the Jungle” — sandwiched right between the Fat Boys and INXS —near the end of the night. As you can see in this clip, they absolutely killed it and made every other band seem obsolete by comparison.
