Appetite For GN'R

Hello readers,

   Welcome to the second edition of LTM's POV. I had mentioned in my first blog that I'm always either going to be writing about professional wrestling or music. Well, because I wrote about wrestling last week and I'm not one to lie, today's topic will be on one of my favourite albums.

   Appetite For Destruction is the debut album of Guns N' Roses and it was released in the summer of 1987. This album ranked position 182 on the Billboard 200 on August 29th, 1987 (about a month after the album was released) but reached position number 1 a year later. In 1989, Appetite For Destruction was ranked the 27th best album of the 1980s in Rolling Stone magazine.

   I really enjoy listening to this album as Guns N' Roses is definitely my favourite band. I appreciate the fact that all of the songs sound different, which I find helps keep a listener entertained. My favourite song on Appetite For Destruction is Mr. Brownstone, I really like the beat of the song (especially the guitaring) although the most popular songs on the album are Welcome To The Jungle, Sweet Child O' Mine and Paradise City (links to the songs are posted on the bottom of the page). I would highly recommend this album to anyone that is a fan of Rock music.

   That's all for now.

Edge in Hall of Fame

Hello,

   Welcome to the inaugural LTM's POV blog. Throughout the next 7 days, you will get to read my thoughts and opinions on both professional wrestling and music. Today's topic will be the highly anticipated WWE Hall of Fame induction of Edge.

   For those of you who may not follow wrestling or are unfamiliar with the man also known as ''The Rated R Superstar'', Adam ''Edge'' Copeland (born October 30th, 1973 in Orangeville, Ontario) is a 7 time World Wrestling Entertainment Heavyweight Champion and had wrestled for the company from 1997 until he retired in April of 2011 due to multiple injuries. However, this would not be the last time you would hear Edge's name, as on March 31st of this year, Copeland was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

   I have been a wrestling fan for about 9 years now, and I would definitely have to say that Edge is my favourite wrestler of all time. I have always enjoyed his unique style of wrestling as well as his acting skills shown in the ring. I also appreciated the fact that he was a really popular and internationally known Canadian wrestler in an American company. However, when I had heard the news that he would be in this year's Hall of Fame, I did not believe it. The main reason why I did not believe what I had heard is because the average hall of famer is around 55 to 60 years old and has been retired for about 20 years, while Copeland on the other hand, hadn't even been retired for a full year at the time, and is only 38 years old. I am very happy that this man was inducted as I personally believe that he deserved it more than anyone else.

That's all for now.
