You got the order wrong. 1 Dont Cry (relationship he cheats) 2 November Rain (they get married, she can't handle rumors commits suicide) 3 Estranged (his journey to find inner peace about it) All 3 are based on a short story by Dell James "without You" There was no double. AXL ACTUALLY jumped
the 3 songs were written about Erin Everly, as well as sweet child o mine, but then he kind of relived some of it with Stephanie Seymour later on. The November Rain video however is based on the “without you” short story
@UCwYbD_kZA8zbvcZB867D4XA Her death isnt explained in the video, but it was in the short story ' Without You" Del James released the story in a book called Language of Fear. You can fine the ebook.
this video was made in the middle of major turmoil within the band as axl had expensive ideas and other members felt his vision was beginning to get too extravagant.
My friends uncle worked on that huge ship and watched a lot of the video shooting and made a picture together with Slash....which was a huge deal because back at that time GNR were simply the biggest band on the planet...
@@yankees29 true.....it's really hard to explain to this generation how big this band was at that particular time.....like you've said.....mega rock stars
FACTS. They were untouchable. It was always a dicey gamble when a band releases two albums at the same time, but maaaaaan the Use Your Illusion albums were *no joke* brother.
Tbh though November Rain itself is a masterpiece and people love it more, for me though Estranged is a superior song in terms of the all round songwriting.
Definitely do a reaction to GnR’s Coma 10 minute song where nothing repeats and the music is a off scale progression But print the lyric sheet before you listen
Man this really brings me back in the most amazing way. I have to admit, I did chuckle a little when you said something about him not jumping in the water, because that led to my favorite moments of the whole video - Axl with the dolphins, and then the pinnacle of Slash emerging from the water for that solo. From the moment I saw this video when it premiered on MTV to this day, that image has been cemented in my brain whenever I hear this song. Beautiful imagery. Guns N Roses were amazing for that, particularly with this trilogy of videos
@@richlisola1 no. Not wrong. That was the beginning of the their stardom. Its symbolic of who they were/are. They changed rock n roll. They fuckin blew it up. And I kno all their songs. Mr. Brownstone is a classic. Used to love her. My Mechelle. But I feel like u had to live it to feel those tracks. My opinion. And i was a hardcore GnR fan. Headbanger. I had the hair the clothes the whole 9. 🤣🤣🤣 glad there weren't camera phones back then.
There were so many bangers on both of those albums that some gems were bound to be buried. Back off bitch, coma, dead horse, and so fine are amazing. My opinion, but one of the best bands of all time.
Axl Rose jumped into the water off that aircraft carrier and they are still rocking and rolling they will be on tour in 202 1 and I got my ticket in Chicago Wrigley Field below the stage these guys are the best rock and roll
It's like art, no one can tell you how to interpret it but you, Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan's words, not mine. There's no wrong way of looking at a picture.
I always heard that the trilogy goes in this order 1. Don't cry 2. November rain 3. Estranged It is based on a short story written by one of her friends. It is called "without you" I believe. I think the author's name is Del James
Thanks for reacting to one of my favorite songs! Somehow I never saw the video. So dobble win for me. I will check out some more reactions on your channel. Greetings from Germany!
Welcome to the jungle is the song that broke them out, chances are you’ve heard it, but the video is worth watching because it shows the live energy they had
The Story starts off with Don't Cry, in that video an actual event took place. Apparently while dating Erin Everly one of the daughters from one of the Everly Brothers was dating him, and I believe broke up with him. He tried to kill himself and both Axl(bill bailey) and Erin Everly wrestled with the gun, she managed to get the gun away from him and he began to cry. She held him and told him, "Don't Cry tonight, I still love you" which is the Chorus line to Don't Cry. Something actually happened, and one of Axl's friends wrote a story about the 2 of them, fictionally of course. It goes like this. Don't Cry. Boy meets Girl, they're in love. Boy is starting to become famous, Girl watches as other Women start to want Boy. Girl breaks up with Boy, Boy tries to kill himself. Girl still loves Boy, but can't handle the situation. Boy becomes famous, but succumbs to fame. Eventually Boy dies, Girl is there at his grave Girl: Don't you cry tonight, I still love you baby. November Rain shows how Boy carried on, Through Fame & Fortune, finds love again. Loses another love, falls deeper into depression And Estranged shows how Boy couldn't cope. Boy's friends try to get him help, but Boy is alone. Boy finds clarity and basically takes his own life And in the end, his true love Girl visits his grave.
The house in the police scene was Axls actual house, and the room he was laying down in during the scene was Dylan Roses bedroom. The scene and music was not sampled from anywhere, it’s all original. No stunt double, Axl actually jumped off the ship. I watched behind the scenes, and have heard interviews with the crew that were talking about it.
I came across this randomly. Your reacts got me wanting to see their videos again as it’s been forever! I usually go for the audio versions on TH-cam. Maybe get together a playlist from their albums. Cool man 🥃😎🤙
Don't cry actually frames November rain and estranged. The songs were all released on the Use Your illusion double bill (I & II). Don't cry is done twice with different lyrics. Actual order is. Don't Cry (original) November Rain. Estranged. Don't Cry (version 2)
I still perfectly remember the first time 'Welcome to the Jungle' was aired... Been a GnR fan from day 1... this may be my favorite GnR song, it's definitely underrated.
Hey guys I bumped into Axl Rose the other day, and I asked if it was him that jumped in the water or a stunt man. He looked me dead in the eyes, and then turned away and kept walking.
11:21 is a stunt double. It wasn’t Slash. I do remember that from watching the making of the video because slash didn’t want to get wet. It’s funny that you said he had nice hair because the stunt man was wearing a wig lol
SOMETIMES,YOU HAVE TO BE MORE CRAZY,THAN AXL ROSE,AND THAT IS THE POINT OF LIFE,AND THIS VIDEO,MAYBE YOU DIDN'T CATCHED IT? I SAVED MYSELF,AND THAT SONG,HELPED ME!! THAT IS WHY I ADORE,AND LOVE GUN'S N ROSES"" THIS HELPED ME!!
It still doesn't matter. Every reaction of the videos kills the reaction to the song! Never once have I watched the videos and wondered what was going on. Great rock n roll is whats going on take it as that! coolest band of all time!
Check out Coma and Locomotive they aren't related to these series of songs but all where on the double albums of Use your Illusions 1 and 2 and are amazing songs in their own right.
quite simply one of the greatest songs ever composed...Axl Rose said if he didn't perfect it, he was quitting music forever. Greta reaction All the music composition is original
IDK if Axl jumped himself or not but they spent $4 million on the video . Also I think this is the end of the trilogy and Don't Cry was the first one but oh well
I must say, I'm a huge melomaniac that has found himself loving thrash metal, classic rock, grunge, rap, trap, pop, jazz, techno, disco, reggaeton, indie, electronic, folk music and so on; I just love music in general. I can't even decide one genre I like more than other, yet, I can clearly say Estranged is my favorite song ever, period. No hesitation and no close second. It's just such a beautifully written musical journey accompanied by some of the best lyricism out there. Glad you could listen to it.
You got the order wrong.
1 Dont Cry (relationship he cheats)
2 November Rain (they get married, she can't handle rumors commits suicide)
3 Estranged (his journey to find inner peace about it)
All 3 are based on a short story by Dell James "without You"
There was no double. AXL ACTUALLY jumped

one of the most underrated Gn´R songs...
This was one of the first songs I needed to learn...
@@stuartf8116 me too i need it, it's comfortable to reflect and to relax you.
Same with coma and breakdown
Been a GNR fan since the beginning, got turned into them early . Listening to them since late 87 . Estranged is their best song and coma in my opinion
Civil war
My best song ever from GNR also the best band in the world.
I totally agree, just read my name. :) :) :)
Has to be Civil War for me. That guitar hook from Estranged is off the hook!!
Yes!
My friends uncle worked on that huge ship and watched a lot of the video shooting and made a picture together with Slash....which was a huge deal because back at that time GNR were simply the biggest band on the planet...
They were mega rock stars. Bigger than any other band at the time.
@@yankees29 true.....it's really hard to explain to this generation how big this band was at that particular time.....like you've said.....mega rock stars
FACTS. They were untouchable. It was always a dicey gamble when a band releases two albums at the same time, but maaaaaan the Use Your Illusion albums were *no joke* brother.
@@mayzilla1174 I understand they were and still are the best. I'm 15 and they are my favorite band.
@@livefreeprintguns it's amazing how well the production still holds up....the sound is so rich
The guitar arraignments on this song are amazingly sick! My favorite GNR song.
I’m 49, Guns has been my favorite band since I was seventeen. This is MY ALLTIME FAVORITE GUNS SONG WHICH ALSO MAKES IT MY FAVORITE SONG EVER!
Tbh though November Rain itself is a masterpiece and people love it more, for me though Estranged is a superior song in terms of the all round songwriting.
Same here. It hits me way more
Always thought the same,but you hardly ever here it on the radio here in Australia.
Estranged is Axl's biggest masterpiece.
Truly amazing
To each their own, but I agree that Slash is totally KIILING it on this track. And BTW Axl's lyrics are tight.
Their music got me through hard times, gods of rock
One of the greatest melodies in history....paired with insane solos ...
Slash had a stunt double for the scene of him coming out of the water, they have behind the scenes of don't cry, Nov m
Definitely do a reaction to GnR’s Coma
10 minute song where nothing repeats and the music is a off scale progression
But print the lyric sheet before you listen
this is my favorite song actually
same with garden of eden
YES! it's such a trippy song too; so many changes of pace and mood.
I want him to do breakdown
Mann Coma and estranged just hit different
Axl did jump off that ship himself!!! No stunt double, no tricks dude!!! greetz
Dolphin symbolism and meanings include help, guidance, intelligence, fun, joyfulness, and freedom.
Man this really brings me back in the most amazing way. I have to admit, I did chuckle a little when you said something about him not jumping in the water, because that led to my favorite moments of the whole video - Axl with the dolphins, and then the pinnacle of Slash emerging from the water for that solo.

Absolutely. When Slash busts out of the water with that amazing solo....I still get goosebumps watching it!
Whatever, that was sooo lame. They were a cool dangerous rock n roll band, then this......
Finally yesss this makes me so fucking happy thank u a lot for listening to this masterpiece
Axl really did the jump.
No no no no...you need to go back to the beginning. The one that broke MTV. Welcome to the Jungle. Then...Patience. then...Sweet Child of mine.
@TideFan01 yup
Shirley Allen Wrong-Everyone reacts to those. Stick with the less known songs
@@richlisola1 no. Not wrong. That was the beginning of the their stardom. Its symbolic of who they were/are. They changed rock n roll. They fuckin blew it up. And I kno all their songs.

The order they broke was WTTJ, SCOM Paradise city, then patience.
1st - Welcome to the Jungle
2nd - Sweet Child O’ Mine
3rd - Paradise City
4th - Patience
Axl did it all I so proud to say this is my generation. Rock and roll forever.
LOCOMOTIVE is my favorite song from USE YOUR ILLUSION
My favourite of them all.
EZisme71 ,,, me too , one of my favourite from all GnR songs !!
There were so many bangers on both of those albums that some gems were bound to be buried. Back off bitch, coma, dead horse, and so fine are amazing. My opinion, but one of the best bands of all time.
Unbelievable song
Same here!!
this white house in the video is Axl Roses actual house in Malibu, and this sequence at the beginning... that is not from a movie or a tv show
I wonder where's that "AXL" Converse shoes now.. I'm sure it will be very expensive Memorabilia as it's a one of a Kind shoes made just for Axl Rose
No one:
Slash: Pops out of the water n starts playin away
Aby Belanger Best part of video and song imo
Agreed
@ Any Belanger when Slash popped out of the water was awesome!
More money was blown on a GnR music video than on most Movies at that time lol!
Axl Rose jumped into the water off that aircraft carrier and they are still rocking and rolling they will be on tour in 202 1 and I got my ticket in Chicago Wrigley Field below the stage these guys are the best rock and roll
Possibly my favorite GNR song
Love the change half way through around 7 min mark
November rain maybe a bigger hit, but Estranged is my favourite song of GnR... the music arrangement is truely incredible..the most underrated song..
I would give everything to see the face of the dude in the label that had to sign the check for this
-Axl, can't we at least take the dolphins out?
-I WANT MY FUCKING DOLPHINS
Axl Rose actually did the jump himself
Just read Duff's book. Essential reading
It's like art, no one can tell you how to interpret it but you, Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan's words, not mine. There's no wrong way of looking at a picture.
Don't Cry is the first Video, November Rain the second an this Estranged one is the last. You've started from the middle but thats ok : )
Technically November rain is the middle one lol, as you stated but then stated otherwise 😂
I always heard that the trilogy goes in this order
1. Don't cry
2. November rain
3. Estranged
It is based on a short story written by one of her friends. It is called "without you" I believe. I think the author's name is Del James
Del James released a book with several short stories, including Without You. The book is called Language of Fear. You can find ebook on Amazon.
The story, without you, starts at the end of November rain.
There's a fourth addition. It's called this I love
@@kingofyoutube6415 do you know what album is on
@@Ncroadrunnerjr Chinese democracy
Since the first time I heard it this was always my favorite GNR song, it's so beautiful and emotional.
Thanks for reacting to one of my favorite songs! Somehow I never saw the video. So dobble win for me.
I will check out some more reactions on your channel.
Greetings from Germany!
Did anyone look at the part where the motorcycle cops were all dressed in white. Definitely a shout out to Cheap Trick’s Dream Police.
Welcome to the jungle is the song that broke them out, chances are you’ve heard it, but the video is worth watching because it shows the live energy they had
Don’t Cry, November Rain and then Estranged.
Axl had no stunt double but Slash did for the water scene lol x
Melody and guitar are magic.....GNR forever :)
As a lifelong Gn'R fan, I loved your reaction. You're hilarious and a lot of fun to watch! Rock n' roll!
The correct order
Dont cry 1
November rain 2
Estranged 3
Damn Dog you're keeping me up late tonight watching these G&R Reactions LOL . Well done!
First, no stunt double. But it was done in a studio with a really big pool . Also, it’s DC, NR, then Estranged.
Every thing in this song relates to my life
The Story starts off with Don't Cry, in that video an actual event took place. Apparently while dating Erin Everly one of the daughters from one of the Everly Brothers was dating him, and I believe broke up with him. He tried to kill himself and both Axl(bill bailey) and Erin Everly wrestled with the gun, she managed to get the gun away from him and he began to cry. She held him and told him, "Don't Cry tonight, I still love you" which is the Chorus line to Don't Cry.
Something actually happened, and one of Axl's friends wrote a story about the 2 of them, fictionally of course.
It goes like this. Don't Cry.
Boy meets Girl, they're in love.
Boy is starting to become famous,
Girl watches as other Women start to want Boy.
Girl breaks up with Boy, Boy tries to kill himself.
Girl still loves Boy, but can't handle the situation.
Boy becomes famous, but succumbs to fame.
Eventually Boy dies, Girl is there at his grave
Girl: Don't you cry tonight, I still love you baby.
November Rain shows how Boy carried on,
Through Fame & Fortune, finds love again.
Loses another love, falls deeper into depression
And Estranged shows how Boy couldn't cope.
Boy's friends try to get him help, but Boy is alone.
Boy finds clarity and basically takes his own life
And in the end, his true love Girl visits his grave.
Grew up on GnR, gonna be 40 in a few months... song still makes me tear up.
Nobody: ...
Axl Rose: I want some F^%4ing Dolphins!
When videos were videos, when rock bands were rock bands, when MTV was MTV!
Random fact-slash’s mom is black and was also a costume designer for David Bowie in the 70s during his thin white duke period
The house in the police scene was Axls actual house, and the room he was laying down in during the scene was Dylan Roses bedroom. The scene and music was not sampled from anywhere, it’s all original. No stunt double, Axl actually jumped off the ship. I watched behind the scenes, and have heard interviews with the crew that were talking about it.
One song they *did* use a sample for is Civil War if you're interested
The Maiden “what we have here is a failure to communicate” Yep Strother Martin in movie Cool Hand Luke
I like 4:15 bro 😮
Jesus never played guitar on water😎😏. But slash has..
I really enjoy your video reaction.
Surprised you didn’t watch this video before.
You have a new follower buddy!
Cheers !
Their most versatile song ever.
Thanks for this reaction mate!
My good friend died in 2008. And we played Knocking on Heaves Door at his funeral..Man was that fricken rough. Good tune here tho
Gunners never sampled anything, they wrote it bruz. Great reaction mate
Had the vhs of the making of this video as a kid. They legit took him out on that ship and he jumped. No stunt double.
Your reaction in minutes 1:57 was epic !!!!!
I came across this randomly. Your reacts got me wanting to see their videos again as it’s been forever! I usually go for the audio versions on TH-cam. Maybe get together a playlist from their albums. Cool man 🥃😎🤙
The most underrated G&R song. Justice must be done.
@4:50 that part that you seemd very excited about you should watch it when they played estranged at the Tokyo 92 concert, it's much better live.
My Favorit Song ever…… like your reaction ✌🏻
Dizzy Reed is criminally underrated
Catcher in the Rye is a amazing song by them.
I liked how u enjoyed the song, it's one of my favorite songs of all time.
HollaAtKrazy His Converse, if you look closely, were made for him and it's written AXL on the back.
Night Train, Mr. Brownstone, You're Crazy, Rocket Queen 🔥
Don't cry actually frames November rain and estranged. The songs were all released on the Use Your illusion double bill (I & II). Don't cry is done twice with different lyrics. Actual order is.
Don't Cry (original)
November Rain.
Estranged.
Don't Cry (version 2)
No stunt double was used. Axl really jumped off that ship.
GUNS~N~ROSES
"WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE"
He really did jump, was so crazy
I still perfectly remember the first time 'Welcome to the Jungle' was aired... Been a GnR fan from day 1... this may be my favorite GnR song, it's definitely underrated.
Axl Rose definitely jumped off that tanker himself. Dude didn't fuck around.

One of the hardest songs I have done at karaoke and trying to stay in Axl's persona
One of my favorite songs ever !!! ❤
SOMETIMES,YOU HAVE TO BE MORE CRAZY,THAN AXL ROSE,AND THAT IS THE POINT OF LIFE,AND THIS VIDEO,MAYBE YOU DIDN'T CATCHED IT? I SAVED MYSELF,AND THAT SONG,HELPED ME!! THAT IS WHY I ADORE,AND LOVE GUN'S N ROSES"" THIS HELPED ME!!
Goosebumps all the way through...
Woot woot ❤️ great song! Great reaction
Slash, the amazing lead guitarist, played with Michael Jackson.
It still doesn't matter. Every reaction of the videos kills the reaction to the song! Never once have I watched the videos and wondered what was going on. Great rock n roll is whats going on take it as that! coolest band of all time!
Hi from spain. I like your videos!
You going too love this
The sound wasn't taken from any TV shows. This is what real artists sound like.
I’m saying ppl used this in they TV shows . Not they took it from tv shows 😐
November Rain’s not first part, the 1st part’s Don’t Cry... Don’t Cry - November Rain - Estranged
Sweet child o’ mine,patience,November rain,paradise city,welcome to the jungle and estranged. My favourite GNR songs.
Original they had no worries of costs when doing videos! And they are Legendary!
'Coma' is so darn underestimated.. I think it'd their best
As well as Civil War.
Check out Coma and Locomotive they aren't related to these series of songs but all where on the double albums of Use your Illusions 1 and 2 and are amazing songs in their own right.
quite simply one of the greatest songs ever composed...Axl Rose said if he didn't perfect it, he was quitting music forever.
Greta reaction
All the music composition is original
IDK if Axl jumped himself or not but they spent $4 million on the video . Also I think this is the end of the trilogy and Don't Cry was the first one but oh well
He jumped into a pool. It was CGI
This is amazing thanku love it ..thanku lots love an god bless x
Another great slower song of theirs. Axl was so great lyrically. I love them. 🤘🏼
Interesting fact: this entire video was basically a 1.8 million dollar inside joke.
I must say, I'm a huge melomaniac that has found himself loving thrash metal, classic rock, grunge, rap, trap, pop, jazz, techno, disco, reggaeton, indie, electronic, folk music and so on; I just love music in general. I can't even decide one genre I like more than other, yet, I can clearly say Estranged is my favorite song ever, period. No hesitation and no close second.
