Sentenced - Suffocated Beginning Of Life

February 1989 Appetite for Destruction has already sold seven million copies and, still eighteen months after the release, was still in the top five of the Billboard. Earlier this month, the GN'R Lies burst into the top five, making the Guns the first band since 1984, two albums of which simultaneously held such high positions on the charts. And this despite the hype in the press due to Axl's text for “One in a Million”! No one took the song as an artistic expression of the frustrations and realities of street life in America. Moreover: everyone simply could not believe that the coolest new rock band in the world really called blacks “niggas”, did not respect the police, criticized immigrants in general and specifically Iranians, and also insulted homosexuals, accusing them of the AIDS epidemic. Not a single rock star, not even the most controversial Jim Morrison,I didn’t go so far in demonstrating my true feelings to a wide rock audience.
