Original lineup: Axl Rose Slash (lead guitar) Duff Mckagan (bass guitar) Izzy Stradlin (rythym guitar) Steven Adler (drums) This song was made in 1987 on the album Appetite for Destruction whereas Chinese Democracy was produced in 2008 with the only original member being Axl Rose. Since 2016, Axl, Duff, and Slash have been reunited and toured since then
Dizzy Reed can almost count for original. He knew them and was hired when they kicked off the illusions albums. Well I always considered him original. I guess he wasn’t around in the bar days...or appetite. Matt to I considered a gunner. I wish it was still him.
and they are actually playing songs from the Chinese democracy album and they're banging it out just as much as the other players if not better than they did now it's with the chemistry of the band axle/and Duff all sing this I love in 2016 to 2020 and he nails it they all do. It's like those were the ones playing it all along
The girl in the clip is actually Erin Everly, axl rose girlfriend ex wife, at the time of the videoclip, she was his girlfriend. Se inspired the song, she is the Sweet Child. The lyrics were first a poem Axl wrote to her. She was a huge inspiration and muse to him and inspired some of their best songs, such as Sweet Child O Mine, November Rain, Estranged,... Fun Fact: When they were filming this, David Bowie appeared in the set and started flirting with Erin, without knowing she was Axl's girfriend, Axl punched him in the face and kicked him out of the set. Later Bowie apologised to him and they were seen together in a pub!
Axl begun composing November Rain years before he had met Erin Everly. November Rain is about unrequited love & not about Erin, who became is wife (and ex-wife) later on.
When any song brings a smile to your face or maybe a tear to your eyes, that means the singer and writer have done their job to leave a lasting memory on your musical soul you will always remember So give them credit where credit is due.
Awesome reaction! Axl is famous for having multiple voices he uses throughout the songs and he continued to create new versions of himself throughout the years. He is known to have one of the biggest vocal ranges in the music world beating out the likes of Mariah Carey and Adele. I would love to see you do all of Chinese Democracy eventually and perhaps pop some videos in between like Welcome to the Jungle official video and then Night Train live at the Ritz. Would also looooove to hear your reaction to my favorite song “You’re Crazy” the acoustic version off of the album GNR Lies. I hope your feeling well soon!
he absolutely has an incredible voice! I plan on reacting to the rest of Chinese democracy since its doing so well with my viewers and I've thoroughly enjoyed it so far. and you got it ill do "you're crazy" just for you :) and thanks so much I'm doing my best to get over this hopefully its not the rona haha.
@@DHPREACTS Gosh I hope not. I was totally thinking it better not be Corona. 😬 Make sure when you do “ You’re Crazy” that it’s the Acoustic from GNR Lies not the faster electric version on Appetite. The acoustic vocal quality, time of and everything is superior! Thanks. I look forward to it!
Izzy was the glue.... the go between axl and slash, the guy that wrote the songs, tied the songs together with his guitar playing and was the soul of the band.... he left before the illusions tour if I remember.. also matt sorum was brought in to replace Stephen adler and I definitely prefer Stephens energetic drumming to matts thudding sound. So even after the first album they dropped one member... 2 by the time the albums were toured... a couple years later axl got his mate to overdub slash on SYMPATHY for the devil and slash went mad.... axl then wanted the other members to sign "contracts" giving him the gnr name and they would be paid performer's..... only dizzy Reed stayed to play keyboards...
The entire Appetite for Destruction album is a masterpiece when it comes to Rock music. Chinese Democracy is alright for what it is, but AFD is the real deal. Easily one of the greatest and genuine rock albums ever produced. You should react to the other official AFD music videos if you get a chance - Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City and It's So Easy. Welcome to the Jungle was their first video and after it aired on MTV for the first time very early in the morning after a personal request from David Geffen they skyrocketed to more success than they could handle
When the "where do we go now" lyrics start they actually didn't have any more lyrics for the song and axl sang those 5 words while writing it and they said just keep that and added the others to the song. So essentially they made a monster rock hit with only "half" of a song!!!
This was posted 5 months ago so you may know this by now, but on the album version of the song there are extended guitar parts that were chopped for the video. Since you like the guitar stuff so much haha. And let’s face it, who doesn’t? 👌
I love both GNR line ups the original lineup could never make Chinese democracy and vice versa! its like listening to 2 different bands but both made some sick solid work
You cant beat old guns! Axl lost his way but he’s finding that old path he used to beat! I respect every album he’s made! Axl hired and fired his way back to his brothers Duff and Slash! He just needs his adopted brothers Izzy and Steven lol. Although Frank and Richard are doing just fine!
Oh, you are finally at the best time for GNR. It would be great if in between your Chinese Democracy reactions you can throw in Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, It’s So Easy and some other old songs.
Podrías reaccionar a street of dreams? Para la próxima la verdad estuve buscando quien reaccione chinese democracy y tú eres uno de los muy pero muy pocos y gracias por eso
I recently start watching your videos, and I really enjoy how you react to music and videos, pretty cool. I'm a huge gnr fan and my only comment is I don't really consider Chinese democracy a gnr album, not saying it's good, bad or anything, just the sum of its parts aren't present. Just my opinion
I also love the Wembley performance (Matt Sorum is on drums and Gilby Clark in rhythm guitar). They played that song and Paradise City at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 92, and Axl sang Bohemian Rhapsody with Queen and Elton John. Other good stuff in there too. I love your reactions! Looking forward to so many more! 😊
It's inverted because it's on video... trust me im well aware of how my flag is supposed to look haha i wear one on my right shoulder proudly. I appreciate it tho.
@@DHPREACTS Axl and her were officially together for like 4 years dating etc.got married in 1990 and axl wanted an annulment 48 hours after wedding.there was supposed abuse from both sides.

@@awbeaudry As far as Appetite is concerned, they werent. Dizzy and Sorum are forever Gunners tho. I like Sorum more than Adler
@@nachocheez9690 yeah that’s true. That album was a once in a lifetime thing. Guess they were born into illusions. Well Matt was stolen lol

Duff McKagan is on bass. The beer in “the Simpsons” is named after him. Also, he made more money investing in Apple back in the day then in Music.
wow that's super interesting! thanks for the info I would have never known!

I'll definitely check those out! And if the rest of the album is as good is this I'll have to agree haha! Thanks for watching!

That's honestly the best 😂
The ending is one of the best parts. Idk what you mean by half a song
Had this taped off the tv on a vhs video -many years ago now! Started my love of GNR. Thanks for the memories- bloody awesome song 👍👌😊
Wow that's some history haha! Thanks for watching this song is great!

Axl wrote this song for Erin Everly. A girlfriend of his through the mid 80’s.
He wrote it as a poem at first
That makes sense haha. Thanks for the info!
