In July 1987, Guns N' Roses released its debut album, "Appetite for Destruction", which to date has sold over 28 million copies worldwide, 18 million of which were in the United States, making it the best-selling debut album of all time in the US. In December, during a tour with Alice Cooper, an intoxicated Adler broke his hand when he punched a streetlight after a barroom brawl; Fred Coury of Cinderella was brought in as his substitute for several shows until he recovered. In November 1988, Guns N' Roses released "G N' R Lies", which sold over five million copies in the US alone, despite containing only eight tracks, four of which were included on the previously released EP "Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide".
