Appetite for Destruction has been paying tribute to Guns N' Roses for over ten years, packing out venues throughout the tri-state area. They have opened for ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke twice, and headlined with some of the best tribute bands in the business.
Unlike many other tribute bands, AFD focuses explicitly on the audio and visual aspects of Guns N' Roses, and strives for duplication in both areas. These days, it's not enough to just sound like the band you're impersonating; patrons can get that act from countless cover bands. They come to see a show, and that includes the appearance, enthusiasm, and on-stage antics expected from a national act. Appetite for Destruction delivers that and more.
Their catalog of Guns N' Roses songs is greater than that of any other band in the country. They are able to perform over fifty songs, which allows them to tailor every set to each venue's specific needs. All of the hit singles, rock radio staples, and GNR fan favorites are there. Not to be missed is the addition of keyboards, played by William "Axl" Shores himself, in the same vein as Guns N' Roses performed live. (You won't find that sixth "who's-that-guy-on-keyboards" member on stage playing piano on songs like November Rain and Estranged.)
With Axl Rose and his new lineup finally delivering the highly anticipated Chinese Democracy album, along with the on-going "will they or won't they" reunion gossip, audiences are craving a Guns N' Roses fix all the more, and AFD aims to please.
