Rather than a sentimental portrait, this song takes us through an incredibly beautiful, passionate, emotional journey. And yes, that guitar solo!

Amy gets it, yet again. Somehow, she always helps us discover something new, or see the same song we've heard a thousand times in a completely different light. Rock on, Amy.
oh she's articulate. gorgeous work
My parents have told me that this music video was playing on the hospital TV while I was being born
The funny part about the "where do we go now" bit toward the end is that it was literally Axl expressing the fact that he had no idea where to take the song lyrically at that point. Ironically it gave the song more depth (even though that wasn't the intent).
I'll be honest, I didn't believe your comment. lol So I had to look it up for myself, and you weren't wrong. lol To me, it almost seemed too good to be true, but its funny how things like that work out.
@@YerpDerp17 Sort of like whistling in "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay". Was meant to be a placeholder, but Ottis Redding died in a plane crash before they could finish the song.
@@TheCabIe The entire lyrics to the song The Riddle by Nick Kershaw were placeholders, the studio was pushing him for the song but he spent so long on the music he just sent them the demo with the placeholder lyrics and had a hit.
Also crash test dummies when Brad couldn't think of a chorus, so it just ended up being "mmm mmm mmm mmm"
Beautiful song.. truly a masterpiece. What Slash might have meant about hating it was .. that it became a MONSTER hit and they couldn't escape it. It's hard to overstate how huge this band was in the late 80s/early 90s.
Yea, it's one of those songs they pretty much HAVE to play for their fans at concerts, but to them, it's so overplayed they don't even enloy it anymore. I also think it's so iconic, they almost have to play it like the album. I mean, Slash really can't take a creative license on the solo's and make some dramatic change to it. It's so revered and iconic, he's sort of stuck playing the solo as it was recorded.
Him and me both. I'm a lifelong GnR fan but never listen to this one if I can help it.
@@vanyadolly Yea, I gotta agree there. It's just so overplayed. Same thing goes for Ozzy's Crazy Train. Great song. I've just heard it so many times now, I don't get anything out of it
@@jasonhaynes2952 This is probably what he meant. I agree. So many musicians, actors, etc become so identified with one thing that they start to resent the thing that made them famous.
It really can't be overstated how overplayed this was.
Axl is trying to produce a romantic ode to his love, but Slash is having none of it and is trying to produce apocalyptic electric Wagner. It works the same way hot apple pie with ice cream does. Don't ignore Duff on bass: he stitches both together as his lines work in either context.
Fantastic comment! Describes it all perfectly.
That is how it turned out. Right. Though the music was written separately. The lyrics were originally a love poem to Erin before Slash and Izzy wrote the music. The story I read was: Slash was riffing as a picking exercise. Izzy told him that sounds great, lets work out chords around it. Axl was upstairs listening to what they were composing, and told the band I have a poem that I put as a lyric to that. So, though not intentional, it does have the natural "Hot apple pie with ice cream" dynamic to it. Good metaphor description.
Adler's drum accents in the intro are money
@@dustinjones8887 Reportedly, Slash was intentionally goofing with the riff, intending to make some silly circus-like sound that wouldn't work for a rock piece. One of the members heard it and liked it, telling him to keep on playing the pattern and built the song around it.
Agree about the bass - a lot of people focus on that iconic guitar intro, but I always liked how the bass line comes in and adds some depth to it as moves into the verse.
If you want to hear something serious from GnR then listen to "Civil war".
What we got here is a failure to communicate, so ya, ya get what we had here last week.
It's hard to understate just exactly how huge GnR was when "Appetite For Destruction" was released. Everywhere I went in the late 80's this was playing back then.
Hard to overstate ?
For real. I was in high school and it was everywhere. I'll never forget visiting family in Pittsburg in summer '88 (I'm from NJ) and late one dusky humid evening as we're all chilling on the lawn, this local teenager (I was 16 myself) was just riding his bike around the block singing just the words 'sweet child o' mine' over and over. The song impacted a LOT of people throughout this country.
They got bigger with the double album Use Your Illusion 1&2. A lot of life (& near deaths) happened during their short years together.
@@Danbag2000 after 35 years yes, very hard to overstate. You must be 20 and not an adult in 1988 as I was.
That album is hard to top in the genre. At the time it was a change of direction for the rock scene and it made a huge bang 💥
Axl Rose wrote the lyrics for Sweet Child o' Mine. The song was about his future wife, Erin Everly, the daughter of one of the Everly Brothers. The marriage lasted nine months
It's almost as if blue eyes, great hair and a nice smile aren't enough for a happy marriage. 🤔
Where do we go now?
Divorce...
How did she tolerate nine months of Axl rose? 😅
@@robertpetre9378😂😅
@@SpaceCattttt what's wild is "Where do we go now?" was just a scratch placeholder for him to write lyrics but it worked. Like the handclaps in Jack and Diane.
A very good melodic bassline, very underrated.
The opening lick started as a finger exercise.
Yeah just bouncing around a D chord shape. Always a good one for beginners to practice as an exercise.
Done two of their power ballads, next up must be one of their hard rock songs like "Paradise City" or "Welcome to the Jungle", "You could be mine".
be funny to see her do "Get in the Ring". lol
@@BigTimeRushFan2112 I want to see her tackle Slayer. I wonder what she would make of the solo in Raining blood.
I wish reactors would react to some songs that weren't necessarily massive hits, nor had music videos attached to them. There are so many to choose from that are still fantastic songs. With GnR, you've got Mr. Brownstone, Night Train, Rocket Queen (though that mid section could get awkward), Breakdown, Civil War, Don't Damn Me... Even "Catcher in the Rye," which is frankly fantastic, and the best song from the Axl-only version of the band.
@@WastedPo so maybe "Used to love Her" or "Get in the Ring" by GnR instead? lol. Imagine Amy's reaction to those songs, or how hard it would be to even use them on CensorshipTube.
Rocket Queen and night train are both awesome!
It's worth remembering Slash was 22 when this song was released, he would've been younger when it was written. The guitar playing on this song is really something for a relatively young guitarist.
Will you be uploading the remaining reactions to Pink Floyd's 'The Wall ' album? You started it a year ago and there's only a handful of tracks left to do. The suspense is killing me
Please listen to Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits
Slash is an underrated guitar genius, his solo on Breakdown while Axl describes a car chase builds in your mind images of what's happening.
WOW! This perspective is amazing, never looked at this song that way before. I was a teen when this song came out heard it a few thousand times, never thought of it that way. Being a father and looking back yes, it's bittersweet; time that is.
I know this song for almost my whole life, but I always learn something new when you talk about it
His “Sweet Child” is his girlfriend.
Axl has the worst sounding voice and the best sounding voice at the exact same time.
Eddie Vedder is far worse to me. I call him Mumbly Joe.
I agree with that logic for Brian Johnson as well. I like his voice even though it is like Elmo. As for Eddie Vedder, I don't understand the adoration for his voice that reminds me of the Swedish chef from the Muppets.
@@BigTimeRushFan2112Agree completely.. Whenever I hear a Pearl Jam song I find my right arm reaching to change the station, even if I'm just in a grocery store. 😅
It's rock and roll, baby.
Or it used to be...
He cleared that confusion up in recent years.
Yep, Appetite is a legend. My favourite song is Rocket Queen, like 2 songs in 1 and Mr Brownstone.
Turn around ... and I'm bored.
Love Rocket Queen for the same reason
You cannot imagine how pervasive this song was. If you went in a pub it was on the juke box, if you turned on the radio they were playing it, if a car went past they were blasting it out. Even if you weren't a fan you knew it inside out :-)
Slash could be referring to what happened in Axl's relationship with his wife that the song is supposed to be about. She sued him for assault and battery, sexual battery, false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress. A great song but not a great background story.
The bass really makes this song work. It stitches everything together nicely.
The funny thing is, the repeated "where do we go now?" started as an improv while they were jamming, because they hadn't finished writing it and they weren't sure what to do with the last section, so Axl started muttering "where do we go now?" while thinking it over, and then he started jamming on that phrase.
Right. Though Axl was asking that question to the producer, "So where do we go now? Where do we go?". And the producer said use that......meaning just use Where do we go now. That way Axl still gets credit for writing it. I think that's a trick producers do to writers, so they don't have to share writing credits. I think Mutt Lang did that with Brian Johnson on "Hells Bells" when Brian told him it was Rolling thunder and pouring rain outside. Lang said well that sounds good, start the song off like that.
It's a very simply, straight forward ballad, but it is done well, and Slash's solo is one of the best.
Axl Rose wrote those lyrics for a grown woman he was in love with. No children involved.
Slash hated it for a very long time because it wasn't the kind of music he'd joined the band to create. Uptempo ballads were the opposite of the hard-edged rock he was into, and he thought it was the worst song they ever recorded. A few million dollars in sales later, he appreciates it more but it's still not the kind of song he ever wanted to play. That's why he said "I hate what it represents"; it was their top selling song and one that everyone knows them for, but it's a type of song he never _wanted_ to be known for. For him, it's frustrating that their best-selling song wasn't one of the compositions he'd joined the band to perform.
I was trying to think of an example, and this came to mind. As a harpist, let's say you joined an orchestra to play classical compositions by the likes of Tschaikovsky or Bach. One day the orchestra, in a playful mood, records a corny version of "Turkey in the Straw" just for the giggles. The recording somehow ends up in the hands of a country music distributor and goes viral online. Suddenly, that recording is your best selling work and becomes what the orchestra is most noted for. All of your serious performances fall by the wayside. Wouldn't that engender mixed feelings?
@@larryfontenot9018 this is a case of "the customer's always right" lol their egos were taught a lesson
He described the opening riff as "circus music." He had no interest in incorporating it into a song, but the other band members overheard it and insisted.
You can hear that cause it is almost like he is trying to rock it up and compete with Axl Rose within the song.
@@jem77469 - Jem77468 is correct. Slashed originally only disliked the opening riff. He was just doing a skip-string picking exercise, and true, he thought of the riff it's self as sounding like circus music. The song as a whole, Slash had said in later years that he loves the song, esp when he sees how people respond when the song opens. I saw GNR live last year, and Slash played every lick and solo note for note. It was awesome! I love when musicians play it how it was composed to give the fans what they want.
I'm a huge Slayer fan and also all things Death Metal. Thrash and Death Metal is my favourite genre of music..., But my all-time favourite guitarist is Slash.
He makes guitar playing look so easy, His playing is so fluid and natural. He makes it look like breathing.
Like The White Stripes song the main riff has become one of the iconic guitar licks students want to learn. And understandably so, they are both immediate ear worms.
"Welcome to the Jungle" would be a good pick for the next one. Ideally, watch the video as well.
A great and powerful reaction to one of my favorite late 80s songs. It is nice to see what a big impact it had on you. You beautifully expressed how much this affected and meant to you. In particular I really loved the impact of Slash's guitar solo on you and how beautiful you found it to be, which you did a great job of analyzing and describing. It is certainly on of my favorite guitar solos too. I also really liked your take on the lyrics, and the music and song overall. Great reaction! Loved it!
80 Per cent lit crit? Apparently they were not sure where to take the song next and he started singing where do we go as an interim thing. Then they realised they could keep it.
Good call. I was just coming here to make that comment.
Axl Rose has a wider vocal range than just about anyone in mainstream pop/rock including superstars like Mariah Carey and Freddie Mercury. Search the net for Axl's vocal range and you'll find an entire chart of where everyone ranks.
Love the channel! :)
I believe I read somewhere once that Axl was extremely revered by his peers of the day for his talent. And that Don Henley, and others, who's names escape me, asked him to sing backing vocals for them on their records.
@@glennmallery Haha they do not need him singing with the Eagles everyone in that band can sing he would never fit in.
You are right. I've seen that chart. It means vocal range from lowest to highest. He IS the widest range of any singer. Yes, Mariah Carey and Deniece Williams can hit those super female high notes, but their range from lowest note to highest note are still less wide over all compared to Axl. Take that last 30 seconds of Rocket Queen. He hits the highest of his high notes in "all I EVER wanted, was for you ("Ever" being the highest note), then the wind down melisma down to "to know that I CARE" ....("CARE" at the lowest at the last pitch on the wind down). ----I saw GNR live last year, and Axl still hit that high note. I was so pleased to watch and hear him do that in 2023. Though he didn't use him scream voice much in the show. So we got his smooth voice falsetto, which was less than stellar, but he still threw out a scream every now and then, I think he just has to save his voice.
I've heard that story about his range, but I don't believe it. iirc, it was based on an automated pitch detector, when the technology wasn't ready. Let's try to find out ourselves - in which song do you think he sings the lowest, and in which the highest?
@@glennmallery - Interesting.
This was a really beautiful analysis, Amy. Thank you. The best thing I can say about this song is when you strip it all down and play it acoustic or on piano it sounds just as iconic, like some old famous folk song. Such a fantastic work
This is one of the very, very few songs where the guitar is absolutely perfect. I wouldn't change a note, a bend, how long a bend is held, the feedback, it's as good a recording as you can make. Every time I listen to Slash's playing on this song, and I probably heard it 1,000 times, I'm blown away by the unbelievably good guitar work.
"Where do we go now," always seemed to me to hint at the fact that they weren't quite sure how to wrap up the song, after the bridge... 😅
Great analysis 👍
Textwise one of the most beautiful love songs ever writen.
That guitar solo though, good lord… is there one better? I’m not sure there is.
love your vids for years. hope you get around to doing their song 'Estranged'! take care
I hadn't heard that solo for ages. It sure is something.
Yeah, Slash can get it.
I'm glad she did the original full studio version with the minor solo that the record co edited out for the single. The song has a mini solo after the first verse/chorus, that 2nd minor solo after the 2nd verse/chorus, then after a quick repeat of the chorus, it goes into the major solo. That 2nd of 3 "minor" solo is so good to hear again too. Makes me so mad that the 2 TH-cam vids of this song that almost total 2 Billion views doesn't have that minor solo for the young generations to hear when they pull up the TH-cam vids of this song.
Please talk to music fans from the time, and about the context Guns and Roses emerged out of. Rock Music was completely vapid and uninteresting at the end of the Hair Metal era and hearing GNR’s stripped down, melodic sound was a breath of fresh air. This music was pure and unadulterated. Eventually we would grow in to Grunge and walk completely away from the 80’s and GNR was the start of that for me.
Just came upon your channel on one of my Insomniatic pre-dawn music escapes. I appreciate your personal interpretations of songs, many of which are Markers on my Half Century Journey.
Estranged from GN'R is the best Song ever.Deep,full of emotions,great Storytelling.Fantastic guitar by Slash.A perfect Song,never heard a better one
This is a key song. I enjoyed your review
Great review. This is a formative song of my young adulthood and I've never thought of it the way you did.
Always thought this was about his girlfriend a child never entered my thoughts process....
"Paradise City" is a Great Guns and Roses song. You ought to check it out.
To me, this would be set in a bar or coffee shop, and would be a man explaining to a trusted female, sister or friend, how he feels for his crush. It's not a boys talking to boys conversation, it's vulnerability expressed to trust. Classic poets did not express their works to bar rooms full of men, they wrote them in solitude and expressed them to more sympathetic audiences.
It always amazed me the contrast of the sweetness on the lyrics, with the energy of the music. You have explained it so well and deep! Thanks Amy. Greetings from Perú!
The duality of the band is well explained in the band name Guns N Roses
As always, thank you for another sublime analysis.
Fascinating interpretation! Interesting what you mention about the guitar solo going “wo-wo-wo” since Slash seems to be using what is literally called a “wah-wah pedal” to achieve that effect 😅
I always felt like the first part of the song is the beginning of a relationship. They’re caught up with the superficial aspects, the newness, etc…perhaps just enamored by their looks
The second part of the song where it goes to e minor is acknowledging that’s there’s nothing deeper there and the long term aspects of the relationship are in doubt. Where do we go now?
You were born after 1987??? How young are you? 😲
Slash stated that he had to work a lot to record that intro. First time they recorded the album they didn't like the way the guitar part was mixed and he had to do it all over again alone in the studio. The intro to Sweet child was the trickiest part. It was long before the digital recording and he had to estimate the timing of the intro so it would match the rest of the song which was already recorded. After many attempts, he finally nailed it. Perhaps that's why he hated it :) It's in his book.
Slash to me is one of the best... His melodic sense creates solos you can sing along to and yet he also has the speed when he wants to push it too... One thing you may understand Amy is about the sort of scales used in rock and blues and one of the main ones are the pentatonic scales used in A LOT Of rock music... Slash is a master of it....
You should do more on U2 and and check out Where The Streets Have No Name by them cause the intro to this song is out of this world
I'm wondering if you've heard about the new Mozart piece that was just found and thought to be from his teenage years? If so, have you heard it yet, and what are your thoughts on it?
It might make for a good video!
The inspiration for this song was Brian May’s Sail Away Sweet Sister
I love your videos!! I recommend you listen and react to the song OLD LOVE by Eric Clapton, its live version! I'm sure you'll love it! greetings..
I'm not an English native speaker and I never understood why this is the most popular G'n'R's song. Someway I was lost in translation but now I get the point. Thank you very much for your explanation!
muchas gracias por tener la opción de subtítulos al español
Talking about guitar solos....have you analised Hotel. California by The Eagles?. Please do if you haven't yet. Thank you!
And revisiting why the guitar solo is so iconic…
That is the bridge that takes you from upbeat beginning to the melancholic ending…
Any classical composer would be proud of that…
Slash!!! Own that shit!!!
Perfect breakdown Amy. You are a very intuitive person. Thank you
Hello from Serbia 🇷🇸! I love your reaction on "Sweet child o' mine"!❤ For me, one of the best songs by Guns N' Roses is "Civil war". Unfortunately, lyrics are still actual. I strongly recommend this ultimate anti-war master piece.
You should def react to "ESTRANGED", It is a beautiful piece of music, one of their best pieces
Great song! May I suggest "3 Chains O' Gold" by Prince? It's essentially his "Bohemian Rhapsody"!
I love these and I would really love to hear how the musicians would respond to her interpretations.
Whilst G’n’Rs fans might argue you missed the point…
I think you absolutely nailed it…
I think Slash resents the song, the seminal riff, the iconic solo, because he feared it might define him…
A song written when they were kids, and forever shrouded in misty eyed optimism…
But the ending is bleak…
Reality intrudes, and the world is a horrible dark place…
BTW, the band was simultaneously descending into drug addiction…

I really love Slash's guitar solos. Not the flashiest or most technical but they convey a lot of emotion.
I had to watch this twice to understand where you were coming from, and you are absolutely correct…
This isn’t a love song…
It’s a lament for something lost…
Maybe that’s why Slash walked away from his crowning achievement…
Can you react to CORAZON DELATOR by SODA STEREO (Symphonic versión)? They are Argentinians band. Maybe you would like to compare with original rock version. This song was inspired by story by Edgar Allan Poe. ❤😊❤😊
Thanks and hugs from 🇨🇴
Hi again, Amy. Speaking of lost childhood, I think you should try a more sofisticated approach with "childlike faith in childhoods end" by Van der Graaf
Just WOW. The way you described what this song means for you almost made me cry. NEVER thought about that, yeah..., maybe the child is no other person but memories of himself. You're amazing.
Loved Appetite, everything after that was ruined by Axl.
Fantastic review of this song,which was released when I was 18 and is seared from start to finish in my soul. One of the most intricate reviews I've seen.
There are two G 'n' R's....pre-Use Your Illusion and post. I've always thought Axl was trying to create his own Stairway To Heaven or Bohemian Rhapsody with Illusion I and II....but I believe he already had....with Sweet Child.
The lyrics are actually talking about a girlfriend. Axl wrote this about his girlfriend at the time , Erin Everly.
Guns n Roses had some wonderfully great rock songs.Unfortunately,I grew up in the 70’s and Axl Roses voice always reminded me of Edith Bunker,a character on the Norman Lear tv show All in the Family.I could never get passed that.
You are a lovely intelligent lady. Your insights and reactions are always wonderful
8 minutes in and I've come to the realization....that....you're brilliant. that was an amazing understanding of this song and its probably dead on. I've been listening to this song for forty effing years and I didn't think of these things....wow
"The anglularity" of the guitar intro! Awesome insight! Excellent review, love to hear your thoughts about these classics!
Since you have heard november rain you should check out the live version from Paris ‘92 with Axl’s piano intro, «its alright», and november rain. I would want to know what his piano playing and voice makes you feel
Such great insights into how music can take our minds and emotions into other realities, which is what daydreaming and projecting beyond the body is about. Axel's voice in combination with the guitar work truly captured the bittersweet experience of love and life. Magical.
Slash’s warmup exercise became one of the most iconic rock riffs
Yes I agree the lyrics don't match the music but then GnR never had good lyrics :)
When I saw you go so quiet and stop the song so little, I thought you were going to dismiss it as basic rock fare, and was blown away to see how transported you were by the track. It was a smash hit, and has been an indisputable classic for decades now, and so overplayed as a consequence, it's always great to rediscover its undeniable force, so I'm very grateful to you for this video.
With this and November rain behind you, my suggestion would be to delve into the heavier, more aggressive face of GnR, like Right next door to hell or Double talkin' jive (which serves as a sort of intro to November rain in the sprawl of the Use your illusion double LP).
Estranged, Civil War, This I Love.
This analysis was as moving, personal, and exceptional as the song itself.
Thank you so much for the tears you've evoked in me.
Not my favoruite GnR song to listen to tbh, but it's impressive in its own right. Hope you'll do more, maybe Estranged?
Appetite for Destruction was a monster hit when it was released.
Sadly, about half the album has cursing in the lyrics and couldn't be played on the radio.
I love Axl’s approach to singing - getting the most notes into a single syllable. Whenever I can sing along to this song, or You Could Be Mine, without coughing and hacking … well, it’s a great, emotionally draining feeling.
Slash just dislikes the song because it was such a huge hit, like how Robert Plant can't stand Stairway to Heaven.
Thank you for providing your immediate thoughts of the new music you’ve been exposed to. Your interpretations and insights are almost always spot on, and if not, creates an opportunity for us to have fresh eyes on classics we’ve loved for decades.
Thank you TH-cam for exposing me to this excellent channel a couple of months ago!
Gotta love how Slash's guitar does as much singing as Axl does in this song. The independence of each band member, yet coherency of the band together, is one thing that made GnR really special.
You nailed it . I bet if Axel Rose saw this he would say the same thing. I grew up on this music with them. Thank for your impartial neutral beautiful review❤
