How One Guns N’ Roses Video Changed The Course Of Rock History

Guns N’ Roses’ debut album, Appetite for Destruction, has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, but it was once considered a bomb after moving only a few thousand units months after its release. One man, however, fought to change that, and he did.
