Slash is phenomenal. Sadly, Izzy never got the credit he deserved for being a great rhythm guitarist. Thankfully Slash always acknowledged him.
In my humble opinion, Izzy has always received the credit he deserves. He is still loved & appreciated by many, despite having walked away from the band, in 1991.
@@kerenolivero7097 Fans, Metalheads and fellow Hard Rock & Metal musicians alike will always praise and give Izzy the credit he so richly deserves. But I remember the Metal magazines of the 1980s. Circus, RIP, Metal Edge, Rock Beat and even Rolling Stone rarely, if ever, mentioned Izzy. It was the same on MTV.
1000%
To make things even worse Izzy is a real nice guy, a proper genuine person...no star-worship wanted or needed. Happy being remembered for what he did. X
I guess no one has heard of world class guitarist STEVE ROTHERY from MARRILION...Try the albums "Misplaced childhood" & "A script for a jesters tear"🤔.
80's was the music era. Proud to be of that era😊😊
🤘🤘
Late 70s, early 80s was the best!
I grew up in the 80s and there was a lot of trash.
The highs were high but hair metal was terrible.
GnR is not a hair metal band though.
70s & 90s > 80s overall.
I said what I said!
@@johnohrstrom5112 Each decade has a lot of trash. The 70s produced a genre so hated that it accumulated into a demolition night, while the 90s gave way to boy band dominance. Compared to those two, hair metal would seem like it came from Mozart.
90’s blew the 80’s out the door and out on the streets!!!!
The only channel smart enough to do the song as we remember it! This is why yall rock!.. Thanks guys! FUN FACT..Slash got solo of the year in 87or 88 for this song!
Epic guitar 🎸 work from Slash🎩A modern day Jimi Hendrix🎸🙏
😂 That's how we like it too!
@@barsandbarbells2022 Your trivia for the day; the "sweet child" that Axl wrote the lyrics for was his then girlfriend and future wife Erin Everly, daughter of Don Everly of the Everly Brothers. She is in the video.
You guys have no idea what it was like when this song came out in '87. It was INSANE. It played everywhere. MTV had it on hourly rotation -- back when MTV was cool and actually played music videos. Every car that drove by was bumping it. It was a massive, massive hit. I miss the 80s.
Slash is just unreal. He’s so great at phrasing, building tension, working towards that explosive FIRE crescendo, etc. Amazing.
Add to that his tone and how it sits in the mix. He uses the bass pickup to start to create that “full & round” sound, then switches to the treble pickup and gets that amazing, cutting tone. Just brilliant.
Sweet Child, Paradise City, and Welcome to the Jungle are all from the same album “Appetite for Destruction” (1987; their first album & the best-selling debut album of all time) & November Rain is from the album “Use Your Illusion I” (1991).
Completely agree with you about Slash🎩 An epic guitar player 🎸in the mold of Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page.I don’t know why but I could imagine Hendrix playing this riff.I can just see it.🙏
I think Archer is much better at phrasing than Slash
For sure, a legend and a half already, and a seemingly cool guy to boot. One of my favorite "drinking quotes" is from him. He said SOMETHING like: "I'm an alcoholic only in the sense that I have to have drinks on a regular basis or I start shaking and shit." LOL I think he's clean and sober now.
I rarely even notice what the bass is doing but Duff's bass line on this makes it so much better!!!
It’s been said this album was recorded live and then cleaned up. So they all played together when recorded. That’s what’s amazing.
I think patience is the song they play live in studio
That’s what REAL bands do….Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers made EVERY record with all of them playong live in the same studio
Uh that's just false. You're mixing up your facts.
Axel's voice and Slash's guitar playing harmonize so perfectly together. Unique
This whole album was amazing cover to cover. Guns n roses with appetite for destruction basically saved the 80s from aqua net and spandex.
Not only one of the greatest debut albums of all-time, but one of the greatest Rock albums of all-time as well.
Absolutely Amazing Song. The Band is in Top Form and On Fire. From the Legendary Debut Album Appetite For Destruction which is Filled with Great Great Songs. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love the commercial with Slash auditioning for a little band with this intro 😂😂😂
The entire album rocks. Not a bad track on it.
Most definitely!!! this is one of those rare albums that you can pop in the CD player in the car while on a road trip and never once consider hitting the skip function. One of the top 10 albums of the 80's and one of the best debut albums of all time.
@@Impalaman1968 fully agree. Boston, Van Halen and Black Sabbath also have 10/10 debuts
@@princeofpcos9804 100% AGREED!
If you like Guns N'Roses albums, you also should try to listen music from Hurricane. I suggest you the album Slave To The Thrill.
Guns 'N Roses is definitely an iconic band!!!👍😱🤯🤘 80's rock and heavy metal bands were so amazing!!!🤯🤯🤯 So glad I grew up in that era!!!👍👍👍 Great reaction, loved it!!!❤️❤️❤️
Slash is my favorite guitarrist, because he has a way of combine his mad skills on the guitar with the vocal parts of the song, and when it comes to his instrumental work, it just makes sense. He plays like this not to show off, but to connect to the song itself. Great reaction and cheers from Brazil, folks.
nice reaction... i agree with why you listened to the long audio only version first but be sure to watch the official video also. it created this initial really cool impression of guns-n-roses that is still with me today... the way axel rose dances around the mic when vocals begin and the overall aesthetic, vibe, etc of the band. "patience" is another hit that shows a completely more down to earth side of the band... enjoy! 😎
Guns n roses "you Could be mine" - soundtrack from the movie Terminator 2. from the album ,, Use Your Illusion II ,, 1991 . be sure to rate
Highly recommend you watch the two songs they performed live at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. As a long time fan this remains my favourite live performance. Paradise City and Knockin’ on Heavens Door.
This has been my alarm for over 30 years.
Every time it would come on the radio or something my kids would say “Dad, your alarms going off”
I've been Watching several reaction videos of guns and roses and I'm really noticing how much Duff McCagin is just killing it on Bass !! Also the brilliance of Steven Adler on drums !!
For me this is their best song. It is difficult to fault from beginning to end and it has an innocence and simplicity about it. Awesome lyrics too. Great guitar solo and tone. Rhythm guitar is spot on. Great hook. Very strong track.
This song was written by Axl about his girlfriend at the time - Erin Everly (daughter of Don Everly from the band The Everly Brothers).
This song was originally created when Slash was playing his guitar on the sidelines of rehearsals without Slash's knowledge. Axl was listening to this simple session while writing a poem for his girlfriend Erin Everly.
great info
@@charliegeorge9393 Thanks, this song was originally a poem that was considered ridiculous by all members
That opening riff by Slash is a real finger twister! He was using it as a fingering exercise when Axle heard him from the upstairs. Axle came down stairs, listened to it some more and said "I think there is a song there!" I have heard many of accomplished guitarist play that riff but nobody, NOBODY comes close to playing it as smooth and effortless as Slash! Nobody! Almost sounds mechanical he is so perfect!
The opening riff was came across by accident. Its the finger exercise slash did for warm-ups
so many people throw disdain at gnr, but if you actually listen to the lyrics and musical structure, you can not deny the talent :) big love to all people :)
Was so great growing up while every bar band was covering these songs in the early 90s. I was in college. Heading out on Friday for the concert at PNC Park in Pittsburgh, can't wait to see how they sound these days. Love me some Slash!
I didn't really listen to music until I was like 16 but when I did start I discovered I liked all the stuff my older sister listened to when I was growing up, especially this album.
Patience is another great song from them. Great song
I still can’t understand how even people this age haven’t ever heard this song before ?🤔
One of the best debut albums ever released! Great reaction! One of my favourites from the album is 'Nightrain'.
Have been at the GNR concert in Budapest 3 or 4 weeks ago. It was amaizing. Still a 3 hour + show. Axl voice is not what it was once but they still deliver an awesome performance.
Check out "Mr.Brownstone" (original version) also off this same album. Their Nazareth cover of "Hair of the Dog" is also epic and worth reacting to as well.
Yes Hair of the Dog
Very true, slash is iconic, superb phrasing and love his tone, as indeed axl is and rest of gnr. The last great rock n roll band
Now that you've heard the rockin' songs, check out Patience, arguably the best ballad of the 80s.
great band for me in the late 80's 90's
So many metal guitar players do a bunch of scales as fast as they can but with no soul. Slash plays melodies with SOUL and intertwines them to perfection. Even when he's shredding, it's a melody played really fast. One of the all time greats. This, coming from a 72 year old Hendrix devotee. ☺✌💛, PJ
Ok you can always tell when Sam is into a song..what a smile. 😀
Still my favorite solo ever, Tornado of Souls comes really close but don't know, this one has a really special place in my heart
It was so awesome for Axl Rose to stand up for his band-mate Slash. These guys were like true brothers.
Every band has a stand out song, for me, this is GNR best ... and you're right, it's 🔥🔥
I will always believe GNR is a band best served live. Axl's onstage performance is amazing and Slash thrives when he is turned loose on his solo's....
Axl's tone and phrasing toward the end of the tune is like a feedback driven electric guitar.
If “appetite “ was the only album they ever released they would still belong in the R and R hall of fame!!
Finally someone doing a music listening on youtube commenting also the music, layers, composition and not only the lyrics.
The drummer on Appetite for Destruction and the Spaghetti Incident was their best drummer that they ever had even though they had to fire him over being an alcoholic
Steven Adler was the drummer on Appetite for Destruction but he was fired in 1990 when his drug addiction got out of control and replaced by Matt Sorum who played on Use your Illusion 1&2, and the Spaghetti Incident
@@VoxRox1 go look at the mtv music video for Patience from their second album Adler is in the video. The drummer on Illusion 1 and 2 was average.
@@tonycampbell4982 thank you for your opinion, but you’re contradicting yourself. You said the drummer on the Spaghetti Incident was their best drummer but the drummer on Use your Illusion albums was average, Matt Sorum played on these albums.
And yes I know Steven Adler played on their second album,GnR Lies. I’ve been a huge GnR fan since 1987
...Class of 76"...Every Friday and Saturday nights across America small bands were closing the night with a guitar solo of this... and many still do while the crowds go wild...
one of the truly great "rocker" songs of all time!!!
Geez - cutting a Slash solo is like auto-tuning Axl Rose’s rasp, high notes, screams, and balladeer voice. DON’T DARE DO THAT! Listen to the rhythm guitar behind Slash! Epic!
Love Axl’s vocals and Slash is so amazingly talented. But theirs a band here. Duff’s base and Izzy’s rhythm are stunning, while accompanying Slash’s solo. Honestly, I don’t agree that a guitar solo is truly a solo, when there are 3 guitars. IMO!!! Although, Steven wasn’t their drummer much after the first album, Steven was a huge part of the heartbeat of the band. But most of all, they all sing back up vocals. Their concerts were jammed with music and it was nonstop. You will find most successful bands have at least five members. Lead guitar and base but the rhythm guitar or keyboard complete the finesse of the track. Journey, Def Leppard, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Skid Row…. The list goes on. There are live versions of all the GNR songs you’ve done. My generation had radio and concerts. Live performance was crucial to a band’s credibility. No auto tune, no lip sync. Just sheer talent. In this regard, my generation was the luckiest ever. Rock, Pop, Old School Rap, New Wave, Punk, Folk…. 60s, 70s and 80s ruled music and always will.
Axl said one of his fave activities was just sitting & listening to Slash play. Thanks for your reaction.
Josh turner - Long Blac train - fire c racker - why dont we just dance - his voice is AMAZING....( country sort of)
Whatever Adler put in that snare always gives me ear candy. Love how the snares sounds on all the tracks on afd album
Appetite is probably the best debut album of all time it’s stacked take ur choice with any song
So, the more I watch your videos the more I enjoy your reactions. G-N-R was a huge band when I was growing up.
One thing you need to know is this is about Gregg Almonds daughter. Her and Axel grew up together.
Granny just raised her head off the hospital bed and said, "is that Sweet Child O Mine"? haha! She recognized it too....haha!
As other have said when this band was firing on all cylinders they were untouchable there is a reason why they the were the best band in the world for a few years.
Oliver Anthony "Rich Men North of Richmond". You will not be sorry!! It's total 🔥🔥!!!
GnR's manager is Alan Niven who also manages the band Great White who y'all need to check out. Rock Me, Once bitten,twice shy, The Angel Song, and The Big Goodbye would be a great jumping off point.
November Rain is not about a wedding. It is about unrequited love.
From where i live most of the local bands cover this song and do a pretty good job. If there's a band playing at a local club most likely you will hear this song. Everyone loves it!!!
Stunning song from my favourite band, saw them live in London last year, bucket list occasion
Description of Slash's guitar/solos for me...he's the second vocalist. He doesn't 'riff' he Sings his parts. Incredible.
Really like your reactions. Would love to see your reaction to Civil War. I feel it's one of there most under rated songs. Keep on Rocking !!!
Guys, very good reaction, for me it is the best song of the GUN'S, it happens the same as with ABBA, with Dancing Queen, which is the best song of each group, has the positivity, the lyrics, and the right energy to share the list of the Rolling stones within the best songs in history.
Absolutely my favorite
Best ROCK album ever created 🤘🤘🤘!!!
I remember going to a sweet 16 party back in early 1988 where the birthday girl got the Appetite for Destruction album on CD. I never heard of Guns n Roses before. I was into Iron Maiden, Dio, Ozzy, etc. I had no idea what I was witnessing at that celebration!
I needed that!!! Great reaction! You two Rock! 👍❤
"Welcome to the Jungle" was their 1st single and it flopped. Most likely because it was out in a Clint Eastwood movie which didn't do well. "Sweet Child O Mine" was their 2nd single and exploded from the first day it aired on music TV. Then ppl went back and discovered "Welcome to the Jungle" and wondered what the hell had happened for us to have missed it when it was released
I played this as part of a band, just once, it was the only gig I ever played lead as due to a bunch of things we all ended up going our separate ways after, and I switched to playing drums. So, my first gig as lead and I'm up front playing this alone for that first bar (terrifying) before the band comes in, and concentrating fearsomely to keep the cadence, and let the notes ring out. It was the best thing ever! Except I screwed the solo up, grabbed a handful of strings, lost where I was and just improvised and hoped for the best. Turns out I was the only one who noticed, the discordant screech when I messed up they took as me launching the solo 🤣 Love this song, loved playing it, I hope the music gods forgive me for messing the solo up.
this song has the greatest guitar play.
The next guns n roses song you need to react to is knocking on heavens door, the full length version of patience is also a brilliant one to listen to
This is my favorite GNR song. 😎
Still in love with GnR
You still have to check out a video or live performance to watch him playing
This is my go-to karaoke song! I can't sing like Axl, but decently enough and it is a HUGE CROWD PLEASER! Also boosts your ego when you get all the high fives (and a random hug from a stranger last time!) after you have finished (and are trying to catch your breath!)
Anyone who hasn't heard this song by now, is a total DORK.
The song was about axels first daughter born
You really should do “Coma” but with lyrics, it shows how amazing Axl is as a songwriter
One of the best songs ever
Allot of people don't know Axl Rose has the widest vocal range in music . He has a 5 octave range . Just crazy .
I don’t think these days he still has 5 octaves range.
Patience is an amazing song too.
Fun fact of the day: Axel Rose has an outstanding vocal range where he can sing lower than Barry White and almost as high as Mariah Carey, I believe he is within the F1-Bb6 range... just nuts.
Had , his voice is shot now...
In the late ‘80s, early’90s when I was going out a lot, there were really only 3 rock bands’ songs that made it onto the rotation with R&B and EDM songs in the dance clubs and those were this song, “Sweet Child o’ Mine”, “You Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC and “Pour Some Sugar on Me” by Def Leppard. The whole club used to go crazy when these got played.
You need to react to “Paradise City” by Guns N’ Roses, next.
The video edit shortened the intro, which doesn't make sense. "November Rain" is a million years long (as well as "Estranged"), so they could have given us a proper version of this by now. But it _is_ GN'R, so a full-length video will likely only be available after the apocalypse.
For Axl's vocal shenanigans, "Locomotive" is a good track - you need to wait 'til the end though, where his vocals are all layered.
Also, "Sweet Child..." is about Axl's ex-wife Erin Everly, who makes a longer, uh, appearance in the "It's So Easy" video.
Such a fun bass line!
the bass and guitar are super duper in this tune! axl and slash work really with mixing guitar and vocals
You should check out guns n roses .. I used to love her😂😂👍👍
This music brings me back to those days where things were way easier to deal with before insanity became the norm...( not in my world tho)
Love to hear, The Jam " Going Underground "
Appetite for Destruction is a Top 10 Album of all time.
Loved that album and those days. I was no longer a kid and had freedom and had met the girl who would be my soulmate wife for 31 years until her passing and leaving me alone here.. We loved the music and lived the times. The people at the record store said I looked like Axl back then. Guess I did with my long straw color hair, bandannas, and cigarettes and sunglasses. Wasn't trying to look like anyone. lol.Before that it was Kevin Bacon . 19 when this song came out and skinny as Axl. Now 54 and got my dad's belly trying to show up and set foundations. Course Axl got his too :)
suggesting brett young lady. great song. you guys will love it. so sweet.
AWESOME REACTION!
Don't forget Beyond the realms of death by JP
How can you not have heard most of these songs?
GNR have soooo many worthy songs but two favorites are “Mr Brownstone” and “Nighttrain”.
Give them a listen- you will not be disappointed
Great. My second favourite version of this song is by Chantel McGregor quite a few years ago. (2007)
Axl Rose said that Lynyrd Skynyrd's music was influential in making this song.
