The song is great and it's one of few studio versions of their songs which really shows the greatness of Axls voice and it lets you understand why you should listen/watch to live/bootleg versions. But I don't think it's a hidden gem. Everything about this song is great - but it's too long and unorthodox for the masses to be recognised as a classic. A hidden gem, more so, would for me be "Locomotive" or "Right next door to hell".

My favorite of this album. Gets better and better as the years go by. If November Rain comes on the radio, it is usually a quick dial search.

Slash created the music. Axl created the lyrics from an overdose that he experienced. It was and still is a Masterpiece that they still play in their concert song list today. Axl wanted his fans to know what it was like to almost be taken to the other side. Thank you! You both are the best! Much love!

Thanks for being one of the only channels to react to this masterpiece. The lyrics are brilliant, the song is epic, and Slash is incredible.

Masterpiece. 🤘🏻 🤘🏻

Slash had this song put together after they had some downtime following their debut album. Axl came in later and penned the lyrics for it following an overdose experience he had. Overall Axl felt the song was too negative and so to give hope he wrote that last couple minutes of the song to give the listeners the feeling that whatever they choose it’s up to them. Not the “people waving goodbye” not the doctors, or psychiatrists. “Nobody pulled the trigger, they just stepped aside”. It’s a very deep song, but made more so by the fact that Axl had compassion for the listeners who have had a similar experience. I think GNR is a band that many can say helped them through life in some way.

Estranged is another epic song from Guns n Roses. I went to a Def Leppard concert in the 90s and this was the last pre concert song they played over the loud speakers. Completely worked the crowd into a frenzy. It was awesome.

Yep, I remember when Lep used that tape, w/ this song leading up to the house lights going out. For those of us who were paying attention to the pre-show music, "Coma" was the warning from the band, "Get to your seat! Show's starting soon, folks". "Coma" is such an incredible song. One of my faves from GN'R.

One of their lesser known BANGERS. The song is a journey

Without a doubt my favorite GnR track, great album. One of those hidden gems unless you are a GnR fan. Locomotive, Estranged, Breakdown, and Pretty Tied Up are worth a listen as well.

Slashs guiter work is fire 🔥🔥🔥 he serves the song emotíonally well ❤

Ive been in a coma several times due to a genetic disease. Axl nailed it. Ngl…was pissed Af when I came to. I could hear people talking around me, but couldn’t respond. I was confused bout what was going on. Literally heard my fam planning my funeral. Anyway.. comas are cool. Peaceful. No anxiety. Best sleep ever.

14 years, night train, civil war, there are some many GNR-gems

And also now since you did Come, obviously you got to do Locomotive baybay!!!! Guns and Roses are my favorite band of all time. And I think locomotive is their best tune. And it's absolutely my favorite

legendary guitar solo

This is my son’s song, he was hit by a truck one night in 2017 and spent two months in a coma in children’s hospital and wasn’t supposed to live. He’s alive and has a son of his own now. He said a coma was like a deep sleep.

Only GNR could do a +10 minute song without a chorus and make it good. The chorus is the payoff. So interesting that they decided to write a song like this and not put a chorus in it.

Great deep cut from the guys. A very personal song from Axl, fantastically supported by the rest of the band.

deep cut.. great reaction!

This was originally meant to be Slash' own individual song he was writing that's why it's so long with really long guitar solos. Axl eventually got his own personal story mixed up with it and the both went good together so they worked it into this masterpiece.

This song is everything Axl thought and felt and heard while being in a coma.

Just reminds me how slash guitar is unique . In fact appetite for destruction (coma isn't in appetite I guess) album is something special that never gets old. And those are teenage memories. I'm listening to classical music now. Just as AC/DC is a riff and sound signature by Angus, guns are great with guitar intros and solos, so much energy, power. Do more gunsNroses.... slash's play is so powerful and yet never unnecessary messy. He does great to Gibson les Paul.

do "The Garden" next

Coma is a long song. Slash spent a while perfecting it. While he was working on it the band named the song 'Girth' because it was so long. Axl wrote the lyrics for the first half and the last bit of the song took him some time to come up with, until he finally finished in the studio in one sitting. The song itself is fairly complex from a 'playing' perspective if recall from an interview I saw/read. No-one really wanted to play it live due to the complexity of it and they only performed it live twice back in the day. I think Gilby once said the song has over 50 chords he had to learn and he didn't like it too much for live (i don't think he performed it with them). When Slash and Duff reunited with the band in 2016, Axl added it to the set list purely to please Slash. It really is a studio song and you don't get all the intricacies of it as a live performance anyway, like the ones you picked up on in the background. The song is about Axl's near death experience after a heroin OD. The sound effects in the studio version are real effects from an operating theatre and the clinicians you hear are the actual staff that worked on Axl, I guess they must have paid them well to re-enact the scene. This is by far my favourite GnR track followed by Estranged, and well, everything else.

Do "Civil War" next - It's deep and it never gets old. Unfortunately.

GN’R and PR 🇵🇷… my two favorite things in the world! 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻

This is a great GNR song. I love it. Thanks for reacting to it.

ROCKET QUEEN is a great GNR song

Axl said this was hard to write. He actually od and was in a coma 2 days.. never heard this before.

Great choice of song to react to. Its one that very often gets overlooked in favour of Estranged or November Rain but it really is an epic song!

What almost no one knows is that Guns Roses was not only a great Rock band, but also the best in the history of Rock. The rock scene before Guns Roses emerged was known as Hard rock full of bon jovi, poison, van halem, motlrey crue, when Guns Roses appeared with Apetite For Destruction they set a standard for Hard rock in a row, since then several bands, due to the efficiency of their managers, had to reinvent themselves in the case of Aeroismith, Bon Jovi, many others lost space like Montley Crue, Poison, Van Halen. Axl wanted to release 4 albums on Use your Ilusion, but Gef didn't accept. Axl is the greatest lyricist in the history of Rock, coming from a poor and suffering life, but his talents were hidden, what would slash be without Axl and Axl without slash? For example, Slash wrote songs like this and Axl wrote the lyrics, if they hadn't known each other this sound wouldn't exist. I'm Brazilian at 14 years old and I spent all day listening to pirated cassettes because I didn't have money to buy vinyl. 

Love your take on the lyrics. Massive track.

This song Coma is based on true events that happened to the Lead Singer of the band Guns and Roses Axl Rose during one of his no one giving a F#ck about me drug overdose and The Evening that happened during that time.

The doctors you hear speaking, are the actual doctors that worked on Axl to save his life in the hospital. Axl had them brought into the studio and recorded them

You should check out Velvet Revolver doing It's So Easy and Mr. Brownstone live. Of course Slash, Duff, Matt Sorum, Scott Weiland and Dave Kushner. On It's So Easy they have Izzy Stradlin as a guest. Totally rocks. Actually Slash, Duff, Matt and Izzy could have continued GNR with Scott Weiland on vocals and still have had great success but they couldn't do it because some rights. Funny enough they could still call the band Guns 'n' Roses without Tracii Guns

It is a deep cut in the album and some deep lyrics about the things you think about in that situation.

I lived this in 2 or more months, but took that long to express. :)

Every thing in this song is the truth cause I was in a coma once back in 1988

I've been waiting for this one...

You should check out locomotive too, another great cut

Slash over dosed and got himself into a coma for a few days sometime in the 80's. This is where the song originated from. I don't know how much of "personal experience" there is here, but this was the spring board for this song. One hell of a song and it certainly doesn't feel like it is 10 minutes long. The message of the song is really strong too. No matter how down and out you feel there are always people who find value in you and you are important to them. Life kicks you around from time to time, but it does so for all of us. And persevere, life goes on and you start feeling better and it is not so bad anymore...

I just had to ask Siri who sang the opening song. ASIA ! Wow !!!! Unrelated: You guys are my favorite music react and movie react couple on KZread ❤❤. If you all get a chance PLEASE do a react to Alice In Chains “Love Hate Love” Live at The Moore

I think a similar vein is Suicidal Tendencies' How Will I Laugh song.

Great deep cut!

It's some what based on a true story of Axl. This what he said in a 1990 interview with MTV Kurt Loader. an interview, on August 31, 1990, with MTV's Kurt Loder on Famous Last Words, Axl talks about the song "Coma": There's a song called Coma that's like 11 minutes 45 seconds long with no chorus. And I think there was only one verse that somewhere it repeats itself. It's Slash's baby. It's his monster. The song used to be called Girth. But I started writing about when I OD'ed 4 years ago. The reason I OD'd was because of stress. I couldn't take it. And I just grabbed the bottle of pills in an argument and just gulped them down and I ended up in the hospital. But I liked that I wasn't in the fight anymore and I was fully conscious that I was leaving. I liked that. But then I go, all of a sudden, my first real thoughts were that "okay, you haven't toured enough. The record's not going to last; it's going to be forgotten. This and that, you have work to do. Get out of this." And I went "No!" and I woke up, you know, and pulled myself out of it. But in the describing of that, some people could take it wrong and think this means "go put yourself into a coma," you know. And so it's really tricky, and I'm still playing with the words to figure out how to, like, show some hope in there.

Next one to check out by them is " Locomotive " , it's a killer !

** Love the channel and you guys also!! I been with you all for some time now. Want some more Guns N Roses? yall will LOVE "Sweet Child of Mine" and "Paradise City" THEY ARE BANGERS!! Keep coming with good reactions :D **

Good words and end. Give peace a chance. We are not crazy, just not someones normal. Amazing what we share. Civil war next, only still 70 to 80 years. They still like me, let the music play, share, teach learn, my biggest gift was for someone to say I am okay. I looking at eyes, don't do that. Like politics. Emotions not allowed, we now have A.I.

Axl said he actually passed out writing this track because of being overwhelmed with emotion. Maybe it was just the drugs? Lol
