“Abandon all hope ye who enter here, now, have a glass of room temperature Night Train Express and try to enjoy yourself…” If Appetite was the acme of ‘80s rock hedonism – sleazy, nasty, dangerous – then the stabbed repeats here suggested the fracturing of morality and social decorum. ![]() It is the perfect intro to the perfect album. Hearing this for the first time was to rock ’n’ roll what seeing Robert Patrick turn into liquid metal was in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. This really is the delay as an effect, a pinch-hitting moment of audio-engineered voodoo to give the audience chills. Greatest delay moments? Oh, shoot and heck! Let’s start with something that really is just a moment, an intro that stopped the clock for thousands of young players as Slash pulled us into the hedonistic nihilism of Guns N’ Roses’ incomparable debut, Appetite For Destruction.
