Description

In the first of our new Riot Act Classic Albums series, Steve and Remfry discuss not one, but two records released on September 17th 1991 by unquestionably the biggest band in the world at that time ... Guns N' Roses. 
They talk about the extravagances of the 'blockbuster album' era, the relative merits and failings of each record individually, Izzy Stradlin's often underappreciated contribution to G N'R, the controversies that dogged the band at this time, the firing of original drummer Steve Adler plus much much more across 2+ hours. 
Not only that but Steve also attempts to compile his own version of Use Your Illusion that would fit neatly on to one compact disc (that's a 150 minute album condensed down to just 80 minutes kids it ain't as easy as it looks!)

If you’re here then we’d like to assume you are a music fan with impeccable taste, and appreciate the job we’re trying to do in promoting the very best in alternative music. Both Stephen and Remfry (that’s us) have written and spoken millions of words about our favourite bands in everything from The Independent and The Guardian to Metal Hammer and Team Rock Radio, and beyond. We have dedicated large chunks of our lives to passionately promoting our favourite music, but never has there been an outlet that offers us the opportunity to rep for all the many genres of alternative music that we adore. Until now. Whether you are a fan of brutal death metal or wistful singer songwriters, three chord punk rock or sprawling prog epics, we believe that music in all of its forms deserves to be celebrated. So we started Riot Act to do exactly that. This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy
