GnR are the definition of 'rock stars'. Singer = Axl Rose. An incredible singer, though he lost his wasy for a while. Guitar = Slash. Literal guitar god. Bang on about it being about the city / concrete jungle. Though not just any concrete jungle, but specifically people going to LA to chase their dreams and ending up being chewed up and spat our by the lifestyle. Incredible band. Keep listening. You'll love it
"He's talking about the concrete jungle, right?" Finally. You were the first guy who got the meaning of the lyrics correctly among the react channels I watch.
The guy in the top hat is revered as one of the best guitarists of all time, SLASH first came to fame as one fifth of Guns N' Roses, where he created the timeless guitar riffs to #1 hits “Sweet Child o' Mine” and “Welcome To The Jungle,” amongst others. (These are not my words, google said it) - So you realize that you have to listen to “Sweet Child o' Mine” next. You maybe know their song "You Could Be Mine" - it was on the soundtrack for Terminator 2: Judgement day. 😄 love your channel 💙
I'm a HUGE fan of GnR, but come on, Slash is not revered as one of the best of all time. Eddie Van Halen in the grave would play circles around Slash as would many others. Rolling Stone doesn't even put Slash in the Top 100 of all time. Axl on the other hand has a higher vocal range than virtually every big name singer including people like Mariah Carey. Cheers!
@@erinhansen2110 I did say that the text/explanation is not mine, I just copied it, so those are not my words. I don't think he is the best either, it was just fastest for me to explain to Teddy who he is (or how some people see the guy in the top hat) 😊 have a great day
@erinhansen2110 he absolutely is one of the best of all time, how is that even a debate? Is he technically anywhere near the level of lots of other guitarists? Absolutely not but Melody, emotion, sheer number of amazing solos and riffs he is up there with anyone. Ps the Rolling stone list was horrific, they had George Harrison above Stevie ray Vaughan and Dave gilmour in the original top 100. Then in the revised top 250 list, they had Pj Harvey and Jack white well above Joe Satriani and Mark knopfler lol
Guns N' Roses came up in the "hair band/metal" era, but were cooler and harder than some of those bands. I still remember the first time I saw this video, in my Dad's living room (no cable TV at mom's house where I lived) and just being mesmerized. Like, "WHO is this?!" 1987, MTV. Lead singer Axl Rose didn't really "poof" his hair up after this video, thank God! Guitarist Slash in his top hat is the coolest. They rock so hard in their concert montage video for "Paradise City" and are at Wembley!
You like those noises? Try “Rocket Queen” the noises are real ( if you know what I mean 😂) Glad you are checking out some of these older tunes, there are some absolutely legendary ones out there!
The chap in the top hat is 'Slash' who would continue to wear the hat and shades for every gig and video he was in for decades - to this day... He really likes the hat. To see some of his best guitar work 'November Rain' is a good choice. To hear another banger of theirs 'paradise city' or 'you could be mine' are big hits.
I was a huge fan of GunsNRoses when I was in high school, the frontman is Axl Rose, and the guitar player with the hat is called Slash, literally a legend. I suggest you to listen to the godfather theme played on guitar by Slash, it will give you chills. And honestly all GNR songs are amazing, their live performances from the 90’ where something else! Great reaction!
Axl Rose - Singer - one of the most iconic frontmen ever.....Split opinion right down the middle - you either love him or hate him but the guy was a hell of a performer. The guy in the top hat is Slash - probably one of the most iconic guitarists ever. Slash and Axl were known as the toxic twins at one point...along with the rest of the band they epitomised rock and roll decadence. Welcome to the Jungle is the intro track from the debut Album - Appetite for Destruction - one of the biggest selling debut albums ever iirc. People either love or hate Guns and Roses. I saw them live at 16 years old at Wembley Stadium August 1991 - 80000 people and it was amazing. The band went on to do another 2 albums, Lies and Use your Illusions 1 and 2 (a double album released at the same time)....after which they split where all the members went their seperate ways while Axl continued Guns and Roses with various other drummers, bassists and guitarists. They just werent the same. Axl became a recluse at one point and I believe underwent a lot of therapy for a lot of childhood trauma (he was known for being violent, outspoken and explosive personality caused by the childhood traumas). A few yrs ago they reformed with virtually the whole band (bar the drummer who was originally sacked for drug abuse/addiction - though the whole band were drug addicts at one point - especially Slash who was also a very heavy drinker). Now they are all clean The reincarnation isnt as good - Axls voice cant handle the grit anymore and even though their performances are polished and professional they just dont sound the same...His voice which spilt many peoples opinions though smoother just doesnt now fit the songs as they were originally performed and its lost itsedge However GNR defined what true rock and roll was in the late 80's and early 90's especially Axl and Slash
I don't know if it's still true but I remember hearing back in the late 90s that Appetite for Destruction has gone gold ever year since it was released. Relistened not long ago, straight bangers back to front. 5 radio singles? Night Train is on several of my workout playlists.
Other similar bands: Def Leppard (Brits - you should know them!), Ratt, Poison (Bret Michaels you might know) Other highly recommended GNR Songs: Sweet Child O' Mine, Paradise City, Get In The Ring (Diss track - never was popular but sure is fun), Patience, November Rain
Love your lively reactions. Their huge hit ''Sweet Child O Mine'' Official version is another banger. Last time I checked the video had 1.7 billion views. It's a masterpiece!
If you liked G&R, you’ll probably enjoy listening to Van Halen and Aerosmith from around that same era (late 80’s?)… Similar to G&R in many ways. Other G&R songs I’ve always loved would be “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”, “Paradise City” and “Sweet Child of Mine”.
Its like you never actually heard people working hard and get good at playing instruments and singing. Its actually possible to do this without a computer you know 😮
great reaction mate, i strongly suggest you react to november rain by guns n roses (must be the video version) its about the best song you will ever hear
"Who's the guy in the top hat?" That would be Slash. This song almost never made it on MTV. It was declined, and through some finagling, one VJ played it I think at like 3am, and so many people called MTV wanting it more, the song and the band just absolutely exploded overnight. GNR was almost shut down before it began. That would have been a collossal tragedy.
Being a rap fan you'll probably quite like GnR, there's a fair bit of crossover. Axl sometimes used flows that aren't common in rock that are borderline rap, the subjects of the songs are similar to rap songs, they were brutally honest and they were badass. There's a reason why NWA almost did a few shows with them.
Another hair band: Skid Row. Songs to hear from them "18 and Life", "Youth Gone Wild", and my personal favorite "Monkey Business" All hard jams that I'm sure you'd enjoy.
@@TeddyGreyOS definitely old school vibes.. there is also the Wilson sisters in a band called Heart.. Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac.. quite a few gals that rock from this time in history
I had the two Tokio Dome Japan concert VHS tapes Use Your Illusion 1+2 and i watched them over and over again as a teen. I love this band! They have AMAZING songs. In the 90s, i was more the Guns´n´Roses fan than Metallica and more the Pearl Jam fan than Nirvana^^
Guns n Roses Appetite for destruction is the Best selling debut album of all time. You could honestly react to every song on that album. Every one is a banger
This song changed my life. It was 7th grade I played 3 sports, I was in the weight room working out and this song came on the radio. I quit all my sports, bought a guitar and amp and played music ever since!
If you like this I would also recommend groups from the 80’s such as Skid Row (the singer is a MONSTER), Poison, Whitesnake, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, and Ratt.
It's the bridge yo. "when you're high you never ever wanna come down" . Most excellent bridge spitting true facts. Should be right up the alley of a "British rap fan" who has something to say about Muppets. Come on Teddy, give me some love. (I just watched a documentary about the disparaging things Brits and Yanks say about each other). Just playing, jealous because you have 200 more subscribers than me.
you should listen to rocket queen of the album which welcome to the jungle came off also, the intro to rocket queen is erm very unique, reckon you might like some rob zombie also :)
They came out with this song in 1987 when I was 15. They saved Heavy Metal, along with Aerosmith in the 90's. The next song you should listen to from them is "Paradise City."
You should consider listening to the whole album. "Appetite For Destruction". It was their debut album. This was their first single, and it blew our minds, and ear drums. There's not a bad song on it.
"Paradise City", "Mr Brownstone", "Estranged", "Civil War", "Don`t Cry", "NightTrain", "You Could Be Mine", "November Rain", "Sweet Child o` Mine".. So many great songs.. and I got to see them live several times.. Those were great days.. :)
The album that FINALLY knocked Boston off the best selling debut album (2 decades for that to happen, though in my heart, the local boys from New England are still a tick ahead in impact and timelessness). When this hit, rock n roll returned and glam metal started to fade. Axl had (and has) his issues, the whole band really was a clusterf*** in their personal lives, but damn, they brought something refreshing to the end of the 80s and into the 90s. Gotta hit Paradise City, Mr Brownstone, November Rain, and for one of my favorite whistle intros, Patience.

I was 12 when this came out. Still listening to Guns n Roses 37 years later.
Me too....miss that era!
Slash is a bad, bad man 🔥🔥🔥
"He's talking about the concrete jungle, right?" Finally. You were the first guy who got the meaning of the lyrics correctly among the react channels I watch.
It’s crazy that a random dude is responsible for one of the greatest lines in history.
According to Axl Rose the line “Welcome to the Jungle” what some guy told him when he first stepped off the bus after he got to LA from Indiana.
Yes the concrete jungle also society in general, it's as relevant today as then.
Why is no one mentioning the Marley song? Concrete Jungle is a Marley staple.
Really? Who does get it? Maybe they don't listen to the lyrics
I really dug your reaction. Now, "Paradise City" should be next ...
Ok have a Great Day Brother 🫵👏🇺🇸🎸🎵
That guitarist is The Godfather- slash who slays all the time

Read an interview where he said he just has the one hat. Can't imagine what that hat would go for at auction.
Jesus... Check out Don't Cry, November Rain, and Estranged. It's a trilogy and they're amazing.
Sweet Child is my fave of theirs and Live and Let Die but thanks for reacting.. oh the memories.

As @robertphelps1574 stated, Tyler and Perry are "the" Toxic Twins.
Thank you, I've heard this song since it was released back in the day and you just made me feel like it's my first time hearing it again.
Same!
Mr brownstone and civil war are the only two tracks I got into from em but solid reaction.
THERE ARE NO LOOPS IN ROCK N ROLL BRO! Love your vids. Cheers from America.
Civil war is beautiful song!
Check out paradise city mate
"Dont't cry", for me , one of the most beautiful ballads of all the times!!
Hahaaa!! I stg this reaction made my whole fking day. This music was the soundtrack to my youth. Best reaction ever to GNR!!
Love the reaction, little brother 👍
I've been listening to this album since it came out in '88 or '89. It never gets old 😎 #GenX
This is one of my favourite reactions you've done:)

“Who’s the guy in the top hat?” Omg I’m dying 😹 No offense, it’s just so funny because I mean, it really is such a goofy look, but it’s so iconic 😹

Slash, in the top hat. He’s done collaborations with other bands as well. Check out Velvet Revolver and Miles Kennedy & the Conspirators.

Welcome to the 80’s !
Singer's name is Axl Rose which is an Anagram for Oral Sex. haha Must have sounded cool in his mind.
Well shit.... Today I learned things
It was a coincidence, wasn't intentional
I never caught the Clockwork Orange reference. It has been a while since I saw the video.

you need to do Paradise City Live and OMG Who is the guy in the top hat......WHO IS THE GUY IN THE TOP HAT!! SLASH!!!!
Good reaction man lead singer is Axel Rose. The dude in the top hat is Slash. I would love to see your reaction to mean streets by Van Halen.
More more and yes MORE guns n roses please
you need to react to November Rain next, guitar solos are sick
Slash , one of the most famous guitarists, Axel most awesome front man

I first heard this around elementary school.
Brilliant band the guitarist is slash and he was born in London u need to listen to more songs of there's the singer is Axl rose brilliant tonex

Appetite for Destruction is still considered one of the best albums of the 80s hair metal bands.
grew up on these n odd times still put up my hair
6:31 whos the guy in the top hat? Lol, r u fkkn kidding me? 😅😅😅😅😅
This album was huuuge! By the way, I was blessed to see Prince on the Purple Rain tour and it was unforgettable!
For guns n roses listen to November rain, you could be mine, sweet child o mine . For the best experience listen to the Paris 1992 gig
This is what came blaring out of the PA on my first day of High School. Man, I'm SO old. (It had just come out.)
Appetite for Destruction is probably one of the best rock albums of all time top to bottom. Please go down this rabbit hole.
I have a strong argument for the Dirt album by AIC.
Please react to Guns N Roses ‘Sweet Child O Mine’ and ‘November Rain’ !!
The album that FINALLY knocked Boston off the best selling debut album (2 decades for that to happen, though in my heart, the local boys from New England are still a tick ahead in impact and timelessness).
