I think Andy, Mick, Bob and the gang should all feel grateful to have been immortalized on one of the greatest albums ever made.
Get in the Ring is something I still play to this day- Immortal Classic !!!!
I think Axl himself said that they were all about expressing themselves, which is the backbone to rock and roll. This should hold no boundaries, no exempt. I feel what he did was fine, he was expressing himself. Apparently, he was not the only one in the band that was dissatisfied with the press and how they misrepresented the band. I stand by his decision whether naive or not. 🌹💯
Axl stood his ground, said what he meant, freedom of speech, enjoy it while you have it.
Get in the Ring is one of my favorite songs. Fantastic energy. I feel I can do anything after hearing it. It's also so creative. "And in this corner, weighing in at 850 lbs., Guns N' Roses!" Yah!
The rant was perfect 👌 and OK, maybe in hindsight not a great idea but that was what Guns N' Roses were all about. Spontaneous and real
The only other thing is I wasn't aware of Axl playing any guitar on Get In The Ring... That was Shotgun Blues wasn't it?
The Rant is ok if he did come up with the lyrics and what to say..but it seemed like tom zutaut told him what to say... that part wasn't clear to me
@@chrisretro81 no Dead Horse
@@CarsonPalmerFan yeah he played acoustic guitar on Dead Horse and electric rythm guitar on Shotgun Blues
@@chrisretro81 dead Horse
Guns'n'roses did get a shity deal from the Press. I live in St Louis and I was led to believe that the song was dedicated to St Louis. I did enjoy the song though.
Funny story we went camping once and we're listening to use your illusion and some guy came over to yell at us about being loud and that part came on right after the dude approached. He was shocked and appalled.
He was like this is a family campsite. Everyone got quiet as Axl Rose goes printing lies starting controversy you want to antagonize me? Antagonize me!
I love when music syncs up with life.
You think it is about St Louis? HAHAHA! "He was shocked and appalled" WTF ever Donnie :)
Maybe Lucas should get in the ring
@@donnieolaughlin1758 Maybe because you don't like him, you just hate him, you should just kick his ass!
it didnt matter, they were the biggest band in the world. they could have told off the pope and nobody would have cared. u had to be there to understand how big they were. they didnt need the press, so they just let loose. any press isgood press.
I still love this song. Very raw and real! They got a crappy deal from the press, this song was deserved.
Interesting how the Press doesn't Blow up 'this' Axl interview all over the place, and has managed to hide and suppress its discovery over the years. Here, where Axl is exposing that he isn't to blame for some of the things that went down with Guns n Roses, and how that he was even set up.
This needs more exposure.
Good interview, good for you to post this, this is exactly what GNR fans should be doing.
Nicely done! I remember all the hoop-la on MTV news. The Izzy interview was cool. That was a first, as well as the pirate radio one with Duff. I wouldn’t want them to change anything. It didn’t hurt them, period. It only continued to solidify that they were the ‘most dangerous band in the world.’
Thanks
Cool
That is one of my ALL TIME FAV!!!!! THE PRESS NEEDED TO BE CALLED OUT FOR THE BULLSHIT THEY DO!!! IT WAS EPIC & I CAN TELL YOU FANS ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!!!!! THEY WERE REBELS. AND WE LOVED IT!!!! NEVER BACK DOWN
Just wanted to tell you, thanks for all your hard work, you do a great job.
Best thing to do call out liers
No sure about "get in the ring" but Axl in the black net shirt and white shorts is GREAT!
Love love love the song!!!! Effing great I'd blast it whenever I was missed off!
“AND TO ALL THOSE OPPOSED...., WELL.....🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
It’s cool to know this is the last song they recorded for UYI and probably the last song they ever wrote together as a finished product.
Yeah Pirate Radio! I remember that station in LA in the 80s-early 90s. Too bad they shut down so soon, that was a cool station. Anyway, another great video GnR Central!
This gave me an idea for another GnR song. "you don't bring roses to a gun fight" And for the album cover, a rose with the stem tucked inside the barrel of a gun. IDK.
That song it's about the truth, and there's nothing better than that, no apologies needed.
You get what you deserve. Specially if you are writing shit about Guns n' Roses.
I actually think it was very soft, if I'd wrote it I wasn't that politically correct 😉. Period!
Me: :(
You: Hey everybody, what's going on...
Me: :)
I was one of those "kids" that if I was lucky enough to have 3 bucks in my pocket, and saw Guns on the cover of Circus or Hit Parader, I had to buy it! I'm assuming the song galvanized the fan base, as it did me! I never bought those b.s. magazines again. RIP was the magazine to buy for Guns n' Roses fans. Just wish I knew that fact 2 years earlier. instead of wasting my money on garbage.
You do such a great job.
Axl and the boys had/have their fair share of issues but I think what garners them a great deal of respect is that they aren’t afraid to write about how people actually feel. Even if it’s taboo.
Of course it wasn’t a good idea. GNR wasn’t a safe band and that was one of the great things about them.
Its a great tune proper rock n roll
a bit late to this video, but this song is one of my favourite gnr songs!
I went to the reunion concert. My first and only GNR concert. I wanted to attend the 1991 concert. I was married at the time. Ex Husband said No.
I have always been a fan of GNR. Having said this, I had never heard anything about GNR SO CALLED reputation. Never heard any negative reports all. I was about 20 or 21 when I first heard their music. I never really watched MTV as such my ( ex husband) I had never read any Rock Magazines such as Rolling Stone or spin. These magazines I read when I was younger. I had no knowledge of who they were only the songs. So, when I attended the Reunion concert I didn't know what to expect. All I knew was, it would be good. Shamefully, lol, I only knew, a handful of songs, such as, Sweet Child O mine, patience, November Rain, Knocking on Heavens door, You could be mine, Live and Let Die. I didn't know the opening song when the band came on Stage.😟
Strangely, I didn't familiarise my self with GNR music to prepare for the concert nor did I listen to GNR music for 3 years after. Any way back to the concert, I arrived at the concert, I showed the Usher my ticket once I entered the stadium and he told me to go down the front. I thought ok he's made a mistake here, as I only paid I think $90 odd dollars or so for the ticket. And I know front row tickets cost much more. So I turned telling him so and he said it's ok go down the front. So I did. There I stood, thinking WOW! This a first, I have never been at the front EVER. I was excited of course. It was stinking hot day. I don't really cope well in the heat anyway, but I wasn't complaining. I was chatting to a young lovely couple to the right me. Then Angry Anderson graced the stage, I was unaware Rose Tattoo were the opening support act, another support band came on after Rose Tattoo. I was standing of course front row, more to the left. We waited for about 40 to 45 Minutes. I was someone who all is always on time by the clock, Axl believes in Divine timing. So there I was thinking they really are late. Anyway the moment arrived and I remember Axl running onto the stage, as I wrote I didn't know the opening song, maybe it was Paradise City? 🌹🌹❤️❤️. I stood there thinking Hmmmm he hasn't apologised for being late. Then he did. Wow, must be a mind reader☺️ During the concert, I noticed to the far left of me from the corner of my eye a young man who was heavily intoxicated coming towards the front barrier to where I was standing and he was making his way along the barrier to the right. In a way I felt sorry for him to be in such a state. Then again where was security??? I know here in Australia, from experience from other concerts we're a pretty tame crowd but still, where were they? Anyway, the concert was playing, another treat was Angus Young playing a solo, by this time I was exhausted from the heat and my lower back was aching badly, so, I had to leave, I really didn't want to and felt sad at leaving, as I turned, I saw a work colleague, I said Hi, thought it was strange that she was so close behind me but hadn't said hello???when I left the stadium to make my way back to the Hotel Ibis, when I was walking along the street, November Rain started, (which was my favourite song and still is) really felt a pang of sadness and regret at not staying, I turned to walk back, then thought it would probably have finished by the time I get there and I remember thinking Ive lost my spot. So the next time I saw her at work I said I didn't know you were going to the concert, she said she and her friend were sitting up where the seats were and that the sound was really bad so they came down to the front.
A few years later, I started listening to GNR learning about the songs I hadn't heard before along side watching interviews.
I must say, I also felt and know Axl Rose and GNR were misrepresented by the Media etc. Don't need to be Einstein to work it out.
Ok, so, they had their addictions. Why try and make an example of them when it is rife through out the industry, past bands, were heavily into the scene. Anyway, if someone, wants to judge me, just because I love Rock N Roll music doesn't mean I have taken drugs or have an addiction with alcohol. In the past this was heavily questioned. If I want to have a social drink with especially with myself I will. These people, or person, had lost before they had even begun to try to falsely accuse me of such. As I always say love the music not the scene. That is not a negative to anyone in particular.
Who the person or persons who have accused me of such remains a mystery, I can only guess. Not willing to voice over social media.
Anyway, I must say I really admire the work GNR has done and continues to do. They are a band that stands on their own.
Watching performances, and when AXL speaks, wow, one gains strength in realising ones own voice, to speak out about personal experiences.
As far as the song Get or Getting in the Ring is concerned (I havent heard the Song)I look at it as a Metaphor not a physical punch up. It can be people who want to set about challenge you in different ways.
Well all I can say about people trying to encourage to say something and you respond with should I say that, is don't. If the continue to encourage you and ask why you won't. tell them to write their own song. Pretty sad when they are no where to be seen, when it hits the fan. You had every write to feel set up. It's a nasty, damaging tactic and yes it can take a very long time to get over, especially, when people are still trying to this very day to do the same. Just have to learn our lessons. Just don't allow anyone to manipulate you in any shape of or form, and it comes in many shapes and forms. Trust yourself only and what you think and feel. GNR forever❤️
Get in the ring was a fucking hit! 🤘
Great song, the spirit of punk. A black belt in karate won't be any use whatsoever in a boxing match though lol.
Axl is like a tornado.
It’s a great song…love it!
Great intro to the song
Wow, thanks Sid. The lyrics are self explanatory and I would associate this song with an actual boxing ring. The swear words could be bypassed for radio play. I remember here in Sydney Australia that a threat to say that a person has studied either karate 🥋 or martial arts or even boxing 🥊 was a warning amongst individual groups that would have disagreements with others. Definitely the culture of the time here in Oz. The names Axl lists within the song reminds me of the history lesson song Billy Joel sings "we didn't start the fire." Try playing each of these songs one after the other and you will see the musical genius within each one. My opinion. Thanks again for the great content.
Even back then Fake News was a thing
The 90s was the last decade when rock n roll mattered now it’s all hip hop.
7:50 whoever wrote that quote did a slight mistype. It's supposed to say "good punk energy." But that's nothing to nitpick about lol. The rest of the interview where that snippet came from is real interesting. Izzy even talks about those infamous contracts GNR/Axl had the press sign.
If anyone is interested in the whole thing, it's issue 409 of Kerrang from Sept. 1992. The title of the interview is "Hell 'Hounds". I don't know if you can add links into the comment section (otherwise I would've left a link), but I did type it up and put it on a website complete with scans of the magazine.
Is that website still open as most sites want ££ for issue 409 of Kerrang from Sept. 1992
Great song, I'm glad they didn't hold back.
I love Get In the Ring. There is an instrumental demo version which sounds amazing. Maybe they can play an instrumental version, or do the song without the middle part where Axl rants about all the journalists that he mentions in the song.
Why is it all Axl’s fault, Duff and Slash were involved too. Seems the lead singer takes all the shit.
Axl take all the shit for everything and its bullshit
And that's not fair
.
Why isnt anyone fault ,people deserve to get called when they dont do their job right
Why must he get blamed for everything
Exactly that's 💩
.
It's just entertainment when you get down to it. It was fun and outrageous back in the day. They were young and full of piss n' vinegar. Of course they feel a bit of regret as older, wiser men but fuck it. That's what made them who they were. It's a quality that is pretty much extinct in today's bands.
I think Axl has a right to his opinion about these decrepid rock critics. They've been slandering gifted rock bands for decades and got a dose of their own medicine. No band ever backlashed on these lousy critcs in a song but GnR. Hey, like Axl ranted about on stage, these critics are out right jealous of rockers coz they can't write one simple song or play an instrument, and take it out on the ones they're jealous of, that's it, plain + simple. So express himself? Yes they had every right to and shouldn't feel ashamed about it.❤
Of course it was a good idea....we talking about it forever😎😋😎
Still hoping that GnR will release a Get in the Ring version without the crowd noise, the name call outs, the fight announcer guy, etc. because otherwise it's a good song.
as for ideas...it would be nice to know more about all the copyright issues with videos and channels being taken out off youtube...and also what's the mystery with them never have played a certain set of songs live(i.e dont damn me, shotgun blues) ... and others just have played once or twice like bad apples and breakdown...what do they gain from that ? is that a reason we don't know about it behind the scene ? I thought that would change on their come back tour
This is just my thought, but a lot of bands don't play all of their studio stuff live. I think it's because it's too hard to do on the road. Some songs have multiple or layered guitar tracks, some songs are super hard to sing and take multiple takes in the studio, some songs have added effects or instruments like horns or organ. I think that some songs are just difficult to play well live. On the other hand they may just nit enjoy playing some songs live for one reason or another.
@@briangoodsell7875 I agree with you, i understand them not wanting to play some songs all the time for the reasons you mentioned ... but they could just play it once so we have a version a of that live... shotgun blues is super easy, don't damn me not that hard, bad apples... as for layers that what melissa reese is there for think of how many layers/effects there are in Chinese democracy stuff ... it just puzzles me whether they have a reason to not have ever played certain songs live, not even once.
@@brucejsg Yeah it does seem like Melissa could help a lot with stuff like that. Shotgun Blues probably wouldn't even be difficult at all but maybe the similar to Get In The Ring makes them not want to play it. Don't Damn Me would be amazing to see live and you're right, it shouldn't be too hard. You'd think if everyone was down to play whatever song, they'd play it at some point.
duff rlly ate that song up tbh
Pretty cool to watch this . Way back when mtv played music i liked and the music news was stuff i wanted to know . I know they had to move on and be more up dated . We all move on i guess . But nice to look back .
Back in the day,... KNAC and Pirate Radio were the shit!...
Sounds to me like the writers could dish it out but couldn’t take it.
How come I don’t remember any of this happening?? Must of been busy partying! Woo-hooo 🥴🤟🏼🤘🏼🤟🏼🤘🏼
The Hoss Oh ... you must of been one of those “ ahem “ back in the day..... if you were even creeping around back then!🤔😏😒😩
The Hoss Ha Ha Ha go comb your hipster beard and do some yoga 🧘♀️ the world needs you! And the word is ahem!
The Hoss Ha Ha if you say so MR. Lonely 😔
At first I thought it was aimed at vince neil after their war of words
They were so wild, beautiful and ugly its no wonder we were fascinated by them....I was only 11 when UYI was born.
What I find hilarious is that Axl Rose was saying "I was a little naive" but just a few years before this song he sung "Rocket Queen" which has the line "I might be a little young but honey I ain't naive". I am sure he regrets this now but back then we didn't have the internet so it was hard to figure out who these people were or what they were talking about if you didn't know about these magazines when they printed these articles. So really as a fan you were just like "He torn up whoever this guy is he is talking about"
The Brilliance of this song is only diminished by wicked and lawless workers of inequity and Christians that The Holly Spirit is still waiting on to stand up. The Holly Spirit. End Communication.
Great track for sure. But yet again bs from Mickey Mouse recently in helium. For sure a great rock band of the 80’s, 90’s. He’ll listen to ya opinion if it’s what he wants to hear. Don’t get me wrong he’s a great front man. Why wear boxing gloves and and the robe on a live show if it weren’t personal????
I don’t think things died down because Axl found out the dude was a black belt. That’s just childish to even think that. What are you on a school yard play ground. C’mon man get real
All see them stop Jodi
Interesting I always thought it was about Vince Neil even though I’ve read all the books
GnR went from gritty and raw to polished keyboards and pianos just as their image went from ftw Motley Crue like badasses to primadonna thanks to Axl's antics.
They are the greatest band with only one great album ever.
Don't get me wrong Use your Illusion wasn't bad but it's not above average either.
Though Coma was an awesome song.
Did you ever hear Estranged,November Rain,or Civil War from UYI??
Sivle Aaron exactly. Those songs are masterpieces and Sam is here criticising them for trying something new.
"Use your Illusion wasn't bad but it's not above average either" tell me you're fucking joking...
I love this song, Axl if your reading this (in the slim chance that you would). The track is great and very uplifting, maybe it's an idea to alter the lyrics from time to time to bash people who really deserve an ass kicking. Like Trump or someone who is screwing us on a daily basis. That would really be cool and satisfy a lot people!
Iwan Van Der Heiden okay fat boy
I think Vince would’ve kicked his ass. Just saying..if you call someone out, then back it up
He shouldn't have done it without being ready to actually do it. Plus, it probably would have been a good idea to research whether the dudes your calling out are martial arts experts. Lol
Expert? The guy does Karate.
Click bait. New interviews from axl Yeah right .
Marty Martin mm mmmmmhmm
Are you a Beatles fan?
yeah i am my knowledge of the beatles isn't as good as gnr
@@RockNRollTrueStories2 Thanks for the reply, Also do you think Kurt Cobain and Nirvana destroyed Rock to a point it has never recovered from it? Because that is what I believe
@@markmullins132 You can't destroy rock an roll by making rock and roll.
@@flacidhouse350 They made Emo Shit and turned the world into a bunch of pussies to a point our society hasn't fully recovered from it
@@markmullins132 Your connection to reality is dangerously frayed.
Axl should rewrite the names as a new version for Harry n Meghan 😆
Didn’t mean getting in the ring was literal? Isn’t there a boxing bell ringing on the track?!
Metaphors are a big part of poetry. Song lyrics essentially are poetry. AlthoughAxlshpuldhavebeenreadyfor challenges to be issued afterward.
By this logic, Blondie should actually expect everyone to call her.
As a 10 year old kid, I found it pretty amusing. But as a 40 year old guy, its kinda childish lol. A rocking song but could do without the rant.
TT. 🙄
The press gave them publicity , it’s all a load of rubbish, What went on in 1990 with guns and the press looking back is all very immature. It couldn’t happen today times have changed.
Axle and s not a fighter it’s hilarious.thr karate thing is hilarious it can only happen in the 90’s. Before MMA was really known.
Oh you just yap dude
I think it's a great song, yeah they should've thought twice about using real names. But fuck it what's done is done. I had a similar situation when I wrote a song about an ex-girlfriend. I used her name and her friends. The principal called it slander. Is it really slender if I spoke the truth?
I couldve gotten expelled, but all I got was a stern talking-to. Twenty something years later and I still smile about it.
I think it was a good move. I'd imagine they came more confident afterwards and it only got people to love them more
So it wasn't about getting into a literal ring. But, just imagine had it happened. Axl Rose weighing in at 120 lbs who drinks like a sailor and smokes like chimney vs.the karate man Bob Guccione jr. Sounds like the lamest fight ever.
axl doesn,t smoke anymore and never smoked that much
Axel smoked a ton of cigarettes
@@markl5998 yes he did! but he wasn,t a real smoker...he did everything ..alcohol,drugs..but never was addicted to any if it....even smoking
This all sounded like a bunch of manure that I could care less about!
He’s still a liar.
Never liked that song,,,
I hope little Axl changed his mind about wanting to fuck with Motley Crue. I have a TON of respect for Gn'R and their musical career. However, Gn'R will never truly hold a candle to Motley Crue. Once Vince gets in shape. Axl will not want to fuck with Vince ever again.
MC > Gn'R Every single day and 69 times on Sundays!!!
Why hold a candle to KISS imitating band . Gnr is original.
He sounds so different…
