I remember waiting for the 2 disc Use Your Illusion set to come out.. And when i say I was waiting, i mean the whole world awaited this shit to drop. It was in production for a long ass time and the day it dropped it sold some outlandish number of copies. That is something that I miss so much. The buildup of music to drop. And you would physically have to go to the mall or a record store and wait in line to get yours...and they would sell out sometimes. And then shit would get real. Good times.
And to think... These people made this masterpiece of American rock that will stand as a pillar of music for generations... None of the people involved in this song have ever claimed to be a victim.
I want to disagree with ur statement that Slash makes this band. I'm not sure if u understand the contributions from each member that created these epic songs. They are still valid to this day and their debut album came out 35 years ago. Axl and Dizzy wrote most of the music to these songs with Duff added bass and Steven Adler with the beat. Take away any member and they did, the sound changes. Glad you guys have reacted to some of their songs, please keep going. They are an Amazing band❤
Record producer: “Hey guys, we need to stretch this song out past 11 minutes to fill time on the album. Any idea how we can pull it off?” Slash: “I’ll just do an epic solo. Make it three solo’s” And everyone was happy.
Axl actually created all of the orchestral parts on a synthesizer in the studio & if you listen to the Sound City versions there is an acoustic version and also a piano only version, all of which show how it was before he added those parts.
Good reaction, guys. But just to explain the video, it was actually the 2nd part of a 3-part song/video series by GnR. Anyway, the story is, that Axl Rose's character had a fiancè, but he cheated on her and she ended up taking her own life with a gun. The entire wedding scene is him dreaming of himself and his then-alive fiancè actually getting married. But that wedding ceremony never actually took place. What actually took place at the church was her funeral rites. Also regarding the fiancè's casket, that mirror in there is next to her face since she took her own life. That practice (with the mirror in the casket) is an old Catholic custom, if I'm not mistaken. I'm Catholic, but I only vaguely recall that, so I'm not 100% certain. Also, hinted at in the music video is the fact that friends are there for you during the happy times, as symbolized by the packed wedding and wedding reception. But 'friends' are not there for you during the hard times, as symbolized by the sparsely-attended funeral service.
The practice with the mirror is due to the fact she shot herself so the mirror doesn't show the damage caused the face/skull from the bullet. You don't have an open casket showing a dead person with part of their face/skull missing.
Oh and FYI it took Axl 8 years to write this. It could have been on Appetite but Axl was still not happy and he wanted it to be perfect. I remember hearing about November Rain two years before Use Your Illusions came out and it was rumours about this epic song.
I believe this is a lot about his relationship with Erin Everly his long time gir5. They dated a long time, but Axl was unfaithful, so she left him, but found out she was pregnant, they married, she miscarried, the. She left him.
One of my favorite solos. Not the biggest fan of Guns and Roses but This is up there with the seize the day solo Syn Gates plays. He's from A7x. My favorite guitarist.

They sold 42 million In America Alone off Atfd and Ul1 and 2 10 million In 30 mins at 12 am first every Too put out two cds at once and midnight! Really was 4cds st once !
Imo, I believe if GNR didn't break up & remained strong all the way, they would've been the biggest rock band ever. What the OG's accomplished to still have multiple songs in top 10 of top 100 rock songs on radio today is still mind blowing
The guy crashing into the cake is symbolic of the couple’s tragic future. The spilled wine is blood draining out of the wife’s body. Just my interpretation,. Rock lyrics and music videos often contain symbolism and metaphor.
@@FlawdTV "Crying"? Wtf r u talking about?You have no idea what "reaction" is, or even worse your reaction is rude and disrespectful. That's why we can't have nice things any more, go back to your "yo biatchezz", you don't deserve good music
Wicked killer G&R Music Video. Loved them, back in the day. Still do today. But, Dude... your girl is alright but why are you so critical bout everything?? I would like to see your last HOT 100 Top Hit song/video. How many sales do you have?? BTW Wish you would just go back to your rap. Be more your speed. I don't think you need to be lecturing anyone on our generations tuneage. Most times it's cool to watch you kiddies waking up to the real stuff. Cannot really say that, here. Good luck, ma'am. Mean it. Think you may need a little bit of it if your channel is gonna move on to the next level with this guy. Just saying. Peace.

Slash's solo will live forever.
It was super neat… but his skills later were way better.
Guns N' Roses played the longest live song in MTV Music Award history playing this song.
With elton john too, it was awesome.
Also, honestly axls and friends' performance in I think the 02 VMAs was pretty cool too

I remember that thing hitting the air waves, and I remember the lines at Tower Records.
Both massive events.
GnR - Estranged is criminally underrated
Slash is an amazing guitarist for sure! But Axl Rose has an unbelievable vocal range that is severely underrated.
And to think... These people made this masterpiece of American rock that will stand as a pillar of music for generations... None of the people involved in this song have ever claimed to be a victim.
@@robertolinsky6165 yay, that why I’m a conservative.
what are you talking about?

You mean Izzy Stradlin who was an integral part of the band not Dizzy Reed who was drafted in by Axl to play piano and keyboards
This music video was the most expensive music video ever produced at the time.
Ahh Joe Perry's 59 Tobacco Burst Les Paul...
One of their best 🔥
Cannot wait for the Estranged reaction. Best GNR track by far IMO
Record producer: “Hey guys, we need to stretch this song out past 11 minutes to fill time on the album. Any idea how we can pull it off?”
Slash: “I’ll just do an epic solo. Make it three solo’s”
And everyone was happy.
*solos
Slash is in my top ten guitarists! Love this whole band!
The thumbnail on this video fully encapsulates the role both reactors play ......
You’re onto something
It was very quick. The funeral was only months after the marraige. True life too. This song is everything about it.
Can´t wait for Estranged ♥
The LIVE version with Elton John is also fire. 💚🤙🏼

Getting married in a church of the middle of nowhere

Axl wrote this song at 14 teen yeard old before any guns anf he write 90% of all the music without axl no slash with skash no axl or duff !
Disagree AXL AMD SLASH made this band together were amazing
How to pause at the worst moment and lose the vibe. This ain't hip hop crap, this is art. Don't disrespect music
Stop crying. There’s gonna be pausing in the reaction.
@@FlawdTV "Crying"? Wtf r u talking about?You have no idea what "reaction" is, or even worse your reaction is rude and disrespectful. That's why we can't have nice things any more, go back to your "yo biatchezz", you don't deserve good music
