DEF: Guns N’ Roses “Nightrain”
Los Angeles-based band Guns N’ Roses‘ first studio album, Appetite for Destruction, propelled the band to international success. That success included three Top 10 hits on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, including the band’s lone number one hit, “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” The album did produce a fourth charting single, though it did not achieve the success of its predecessors. On this date in 1989, that song — “Nightrain” — climbed to a peak position of number 93. Today, “Nightrain” by Guns N’ Roses is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
