Let’s not act like Axl didn’t know the ‘shock value’ using these words would create. Even says “That’s right.” After dropping the N-bomb. Was written from the perspective of him being a small town boy from Indiana, going to these downtown cities and seeing the mess that they are. He wasn’t trying to offend, but certainly was trying to shock. These lyrics are real, and that’s certainly missing from most music since.
best way i've seen it put. he wanted people to react, think and talk about it. I wish he could've not used certain words if i'm honest but the message/story of the song is pretty great
Saw a video of him playing it live for a small crowd. They just chuckled when he said the words. My generation, Z, is so sensitive...it sucks. @@BSPotter
I don't think anyone's "acting like" anything. It's a song, I think it's a good song. I don't care what he meant by nggr. If you do, that's fine, it's not a song for you. STFU and move along.
I've always felt Axl's voice sounded particularly good with acoustic tracks. I guess acoustic tracks just allow anyone with a good voice to stand out and not be overpowered by the music.
@@AveryRulerOfElves I think if he started the illusions tour singing the way he did in 93, more color to his natural voice with light rasp instead of just screaming everything when his voice was shot in 91 it would have lasted longer. Also in 2006 on the opening shows he lost his voice and saw a vocal coach. His voice on that tour was amazing. In 2016 angus made him rehearse so his vocals for both ac dc and gnr were awesome especially when sitting down.
WHY did this video disappear from TH-cam for a while? I couldn't find it for so long....LOVE this demo version better than the non demo version. My favorite GN'R song. I can listen to it endlessly...
So here are the true bad ass Guns fans. Happy to be here bros! Few people can get the real value of this band and his voice... when AC DC asked Axel to join them for a tour, those are also GNR true fans.
@@AveryRulerOfElves You ever heard the nu-gnr version of knockin on heavens door? Not sure if you’re big on on the Chinese Democracy era but I’m obsessed and just thought I’d bring it up lol
Se na época já tentaram cancelar essa música, imaginem nos dias de hoje da geração floco de neve que não conseguem interpretar a situação ou o contexto em que a letra da música foi feita?
A evolução do ser humano é natural. Até mesmo Axl foi capaz de evoluir. Aquele que outrora destetava imigrantes, negros e gays, hoje, tem como empresária uma brasileira e seus filhos, dentre os ídolos Elton John, e já contou também com "backing vocals" e seguranças negros na banda. No mais, nos dias de hoje esquece, era do "mimimi", nenhuma gravadora abraçaria.
These lyrics put down the plain reality of shocking on arriving into a big mounstrous metropolis like L.A. from a far nowhere little town in the eighties. Man, there were no internet at that time. Only newspapers and TV.
Before youtube I didn't know the "N-word" was offensive... Over here it still isn't a problem .. I think...(I'm not from the US, so in comparison with the US almost no words are offensive and you can still kinda say what ever the fuck you want to say..)
Es para mi la entrañable y a la vez muy emotiva canción del grupo en especial la voz de Axl, que me recuerda a mí sufrir cotidianamente en mi llena solitaria soledad e incomprensión de a modo de estar en este mundo en esta sociedad que me ha tocado viví y estar tan mal desprovista y mal entendida.
@@pichael6143 I meant to ask if any of the songs from UYI outtakes also on unwanted illusions. sorry I am new to all this. I have heard of use your illusion 3, UYI Outtakes, and unwanted illusions. I never know if they are all the same bootleg called different names or if they're all different or if they are slightly different from each other. Not sure if some have the same songs if they all have totally different ones, lol. again - sorry to bug you and other GNR fans that know all this!
It's too bad cause the music is great. Slash's guitar is really beautiful. If it wouldn't bring attention to what they did in the past, they could write some new lyrics for it and rerelease it. I mean, this really is a pretty sing minus the words. Too bad.
Listen the guitar...u csn feel it... now they play like so through effects and computerized plugins somehow on their lives.... axl does this falseto which does not.sound good. Duff released an albun that sounds more GNR than GNR now. Anyway!! Incredible.band back.in the days!! Now they play so tight but not sound good. Fortus and drummer are not for this style yet they are many many years! While i am writing i heard the lyrics... immigrants and ??? How is thia in youtube in this free era of.speech we live in??
@@SzabolcsReti It's not about racism, it's about life of Axl Rose it was his personal experience, and also in XIX century most of the slaves were white, read about it.
@@brianlewis8722this lyrics weren't intended to sound racist or homophobic, if you know about Axl's story about arriving in LA this is how he explains his experience.

people didn't act so shocked in 1988 as they do today.

This is my favorite GN'R song for these reasons:
1. Raw and honest lyrics (no holding back!)
2. Beautiful and addictive melody.
I don't think anyone's "acting like" anything. It's a song, I think it's a good song. I don't care what he meant by nggr. If you do, that's fine, it's not a song for you. STFU and move along.
Always thought this song displays Axl vocals like no other did. The way he alternate low and high notes with totally different voicing is unmatched
I've always felt Axl's voice sounded particularly good with acoustic tracks. I guess acoustic tracks just allow anyone with a good voice to stand out and not be overpowered by the music.
Yep it’s by far my favourite vocal performance of his.
I play this often. And its impossible to get the right sound lyrically

Much more interesting musically than the final version
Nah.
I downloaded this version and is it that is enough to me. Almost an official acoustic version that deserves a clip. 🎸🎧🎶
Axl's voice in the beginning is like butter! I want him to sing in this register all the time! 🤘 💀 🤘
Great vocals from Mr. Axl Rose.
Love that guitar...
Axl is a genius
WHY did this video disappear from TH-cam for a while? I couldn't find it for so long....LOVE this demo version better than the non demo version.
My favorite GN'R song. I can listen to it endlessly...
Can´t listen, can´t spread, can´t like it. Best GNR song ever.
@@noexportable AMEN!
So here are the true bad ass Guns fans. Happy to be here bros! Few people can get the real value of this band and his voice... when AC DC asked Axel to join them for a tour, those are also GNR true fans.
No way that this better than the original
Next to Patience, this is really the only song worth keeping on Lies. It’s a shame they took the song off the remasters
@@AveryRulerOfElves You ever heard the nu-gnr version of knockin on heavens door? Not sure if you’re big on on the Chinese Democracy era but I’m obsessed and just thought I’d bring it up lol
@@LRM5195the Chi Dem/Buckethead version of KOHD is absolutely fantastic
Move to the city is an awesome song imo
@@Eric-nh2yb They just need to take the stupid crowd noise out of all those songs and mix and master it better
Amazing voice ✨👍
World so fragile today cant handle the truth behind these lyrics truth hurts!
THATS RIGHT!
Love this version of the song. Prefer it to the official release.
it's sounds better than final version. Vocal at least
Voce fantastica!!!❤

Serdecznie dziękuję za udostępnienie tych super koncertów ❤❤
Demo of 1 in a million is fantastic !
God bless you brother
@@CharlieKellyEsq Dziękuję 🤘
I like this tune (on record), one of their best, the voice is so Axl and the guitar solo from Slash sounds so good
Truer words were never spoken
Masterpiece
This demos great dig the cover art aswell
One of the best band evar....GnR...🙏🙏🙏
I love the lyrics
classic song did think they would allow this,the truth hurts people god bless you Axl😀😀😀😀
This version deserves a clip. 🎸🎧🎶
Anyway..it' s a great song.
These lyrics put down the plain reality of shocking on arriving into a big mounstrous metropolis like L.A. from a far nowhere little town in the eighties.
Man, there were no internet at that time. Only newspapers and TV.
Essa musica tem a cara do Charles Manson.
Musica boa. A melhor do álbum.
It was a crude way of saying it, but there's nothing but truth in it.
Essa música tem uma sonoridade muito legal!
Tem um vídeo deles tocando ao vivo em um bar.
one of the last truth in this politically correct world....Great Axle.... smalltown boy as a lot of us....
Lyrics aged well huh
" They come to our country
And they'll do as they please "

Que me ha tocado vivir de dolor.
E incomprensión.
Devil Or Angel...some say is just him.
Vocals sound better in the lower tone
Which bootleg is this demo on?
UYI outtakes i downloaded it on its own though

Parts of this song fits perfectly for everything since biden took office.
Mhmm
Much Too High 2:42
Awesome!
Deport deport deport!
Mass Deport!
Falam muitas besteiras da maior banda de rock do mundo.
Estas en lo cierto
Nesse contexto não tem como defender, One in a Million é uma das maiores idiotices já feitas.
bio is crazy
Respecting what they did on uyi, and how they took it to the next level, but not actually liking the songs, I consider this their last good song…
Is this legit and not one of these AI dung things ??
Oh it’s legit
Legit. AI can't copy axl's personality, and slash's solo
But rap music isn't effected but such words...😂
immigrants and rasicsts, they....
It's too bad cause the music is great. Slash's guitar is really beautiful. If it wouldn't bring attention to what they did in the past, they could write some new lyrics for it and rerelease it. I mean, this really is a pretty sing minus the words. Too bad.

Guns N Roses forever! 🤘 💀 🤘
Was my favourite song when I was 12 - obviously didn't get the meaning back then. Unfortunately the lyrics ruined this great song for me.
Why?
because he rhymed cry with high, crazy with lazy and so on @@willscorner8423
and besides that I´m against racism in any form
@@SzabolcsReti It's not about racism, it's about life of Axl Rose it was his personal experience, and also in XIX century most of the slaves were white, read about it.
This is not the voice of Axl
It is.
It 100% is
@@willscorner8423 yes? Or not?
@@Bobby-Dingers yes or not?
Before Axl was a liberal he founded MAGA
Umm, don't think so. "Radicals and racists, don't point your finger at me..."
I think you completely misunderstood the lyrics and meaning mate.
@@brianlewis8722this lyrics weren't intended to sound racist or homophobic, if you know about Axl's story about arriving in LA this is how he explains his experience.
@@partyxplays my post makes your point. I agree with you . I think you meant to reply to the @user-or2ly... person.
One of there best songs
