episode 8: Episode #8: The Appetite for Destruction Lineup is Born
We pick things up after Tracii and Rob leave Guns N’ Roses and the revolving door of band members spins for the final time. Slash and Steven agree to join Guns N' Roses and hit the road for the Northwest Tour that Duff planned but need to quickly get up to speed on the set list for an upcoming show at the Troubadour -- the Appetite lineup's first gig as a band that featured Axl, Izzy, Duff, Slash and Steven.
In this episode you’ll:
- Hear Marc Canter's first-hand account of this crucial lineup change and how it all came together.
- Hear about Slash and Steven joining Guns N’ Roses and quickly preparing for the Troubadour gig and the Northwest tour (aka the Shakeout Tour/Hell Tour).
- Listen to Duff and Slash describe the Appetite lineup coming together and rehearsing for the first time.
- Listen to Marc’s experience photographing and recording the band at their first gig as the Appetite lineup.
