Glad you discovered GN’R - one of the all time greats. 👊👊👊.

Forget how she died, listen to Slash shredding in an EPIC guitar solo standing on a grand piano. That's the mission at hand.

The VIDEO short story portrays a rock star struggling to come to terms with the loss of his wife, who died by suicide (gunshot) after he repeatedly strayed from their relationship BUT the meaning of the SONG is a metaphor for the love between them dying….do “Don’t cry” next!!!!!

@@CozzyKorner not sure if the play on words was intentional with mirror, but if so, very astute. / The mirror in the coffin is meant to imply what she did to herself, it's so easy to miss.

Not only do you get the lyrics and really feel great music, your reactions are raw and real. Much appreciated.

This is part of a trilogy. “Don’t Cry” and “Estranged” are the remaining 2 episodes. They are based on the short story “Without” written by Del James from his book “The Language of Fear”. You gotta do the two remaining episodes.

Coolest video guitar solo ever. The 90’s. Can we all go back?!?

The video is based on the short story “Without You” written by Axl’s friend Del James. The story was inspired by Axl’s turbulent relationship with Erin Everly. November Rain was the most expensive video ever made at the time of its release costs $1.5 million. The song is considered part of a trilogy which includes Don’t Cry and Estranged. Other songs worth reacting to, if you haven’t already, are Patience, You could be mine, and Civil War

The lead guitarist, Slash, is the king of swag. He just exudes "cool" out of his pores. Hes also one of the top technical guitarists of all time. Like, no one asks "hey Slash why are you smoking in church?" Cause hes Slash and Slash can smoke anywhere at anytime.

weeping guitar

Fantastic reaction! This song has always touched me when i listened to it on MTV in Maryland in 1992 and I cried during it next to my bestie on her mom's sofa lol & besides I loved symphonies and played in school & college orchestras so this was a win-win for me. It would later resonate with me all the more when I became a young widow at 33 in 2003 in Manhattan. I lost my British hubby to cancer... we were only married for 9 months, but had known each other for 3 years. I was gutted & his younger brother flew from London to NYC as moral support... but I held in my watershed of tears until the Repast , where I went outside to sit on the steps of the Riverside Church and cried so hard I felt ill and dizzy that my sis & bro-in-law wtd to get me to a hosp. but I composed myself. I never remarried bc honestly he set the bar too high i guess. But that's never made me shy away from this Masterpiece of music, emotion & storytelling by Guns & Roses and I'm glad younger generations are discovering these treasures of all genres. Pity we don't get videos like this anymore.

So many 80s kids had a poster of Slash wailing on his guitar outside of the church in the desert wind. It's an absolutely iconic 80s image. Slash is awesome!

I seriously admire your ability to read and understand everything you listen to much respect 🤘🤟🤘

This has been my favorite song since it came out when I was 11.. that’s a long time ago😂 it’s still just absolutely perfect, and Slash’s solo in front of the church is my favorite moment ever caught on film!

Your hair is starting to look like Slash's hair Shon 😎 🤓 😎

Somebody get Shon a top hat and guitar!😉

The first part talks about needing time alone, the second part about needing someone. Plus inside the Church is massive, but when Slash goes outside to do his solos the Church is tiny and desolate.

The small church Slash is playing in front of was brought in to film this. It was used in the movie “Silverado” . Axl wanted the shot to be in a cool field but the time of year they were filming it was all weeds so they decided to do it outside a small church and to bring one in (which probably took up a chunk of their $1.5million budget which that budget makes it in the top 30 most expensive music videos of all time and at the time one of the most expensive ones that year coming in second to Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Time”). Slash said in an interview he improvised the guitar solo and he was afraid he was going to die outside the church cause the helicopter filming the scene kept getting too close to him. I like how to said the guy left the church to sing out front when in reality Slash left the church for a guitar solo BUT he makes his guitar “sing” with his solos.

I love the way you articulate and interpret the song and it's meaning also with your own personal feelings and thoughts on them. You earned my follow.

One of The Greatest Songs Ever Recorded 😎❤️

This beautiful piano played by Axl- and when they did it live…Slash and that solo…..guitar is crying……..seriously- sooooo technically good! ❤️🎶❤️ One of the best songs they ever wrote, in my opinion. Suggest Mr. Brownstone next, buckle up for that song.🔥🔥🔥🔥

In my opinion this is their best work! Love this song.

My fav of theirs!! Wicked voice!!!

One of my favorite GNR songs. Video is spectacular. Thanks for reacting to this one! 😊❤️

Thank you Shon. I greatly enjoy watching you.

Please do Don't Cry next, it's one of the best rock ballads ever written, and you really get to hear Axl's range

This is one of the best composed songs I’ve ever heard.

One of my favorites ❤ I was singing this as a kid like I knew the deal

Tied with queens bohemian Rapsody for goat rock song in my opinion. I still get chills and goosebumps listening to it. Great insight and reaction shon. And I got chills when I saw your face at the transition bro. Wish I could give you 10 likes on this

Like others have menrioned, Don’t Cry and Estranged all go along with November Rain. If you continue, make sure you do the original version of Don’t Cry. Well done as always sir.

Didn't realize I wasn't subscribed. Now I am! Keep up the great work.

Aw, I love what you said about the song. So true.

One of my favorite songs by Them is Breakdown. I think you'll probably like it too.

3:00. Stephanie Seymour! The "Dime" of ALL "Dimes." She was one of the original Victoria Secret 'Angels." Legs for days!! As an aside, she was also Axl Rose's girlfriend for a little while after the making of this video.

SHON!! 😄another fine reaction bro diggit, & I read a couple comments & im sure many have mentioned the masterpiece video “Estranged” and I must also highly recommend watching it..

Their the first Rock band Too do A billion 1/2/3/4/5 Time's with songs over all rock this songs 35 years old

when Rock bands and orchestras mixed. Queensryche did one too with Silent Lucidity.

Dude I love your videos. Keep up the good work from port Huron Michigan

Oh on another channel, someone in the comments stated, " if you look closely, theres a mirror in the casket and back in the day , a mirror in the casket was placed if there was a murder of the person or committed suicide. "

GREAT REACTION SHONRA! Yo this song is an absolute magnum opus!!! From the message to the video to the transition from hopeful to mournful. Chills the entire time hearing this song man! And that guitar solo 🎸 this song had it all. 100 video, music, theme, message. 🎉

loved this song, still do,,, great reaction!

Rocket Queen or Nighttrain live at CBGB will show you the antithesis of this and just as good. :) Paradise City video is excellent too.

I feel like after starting with Sweet Child of Mine and November Rain that the natural follow-up is Welcome to the Jungle lol

If you notice half of her face in the coffin is 'blocked' by a mirror, this was done in case to keep it presentable, for example a gunshot or suicide to the face or head.

Dude the best ending to a song ever!!! Love you dude! :)

Personally, i like November Rain. Not my all time GNR favorite. Civil War is probably my favorite. They have a bunch of big hits from all their albums. Mr. Brownstone, Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Knockin On Heavens Door, Estranged, Don't You Cry, Live and Let Die. There is a lot to go through to get a good understanding of their catalog. Can't wait to see what is next, but i think you would really enjoy Civil War.

Some music videos are just videos and some videos are feature length films. November Rain is the latter, phenomenal on every level and you've seen why. It's part of the trilogy ...

about time you reacted to Guns N Roses, I wouldn't say this is their best song, its one of many! hopefully you react to more 💜

It was an event when this song dropped while I was in high school. Peoples' minds were blown. It was epic!

I love how Slash walked OUT of the church to perform his solo. I think that says alot about Guns and Roses. One of the best bands.

I absolutely love your reactions!! You get all up in it and your insights about every song are so amazing. Keep up the good work ❤️

Other GNR music videos to react to are: paradise city, don’t cry, estranged, patience.

quando eu era criança eu começei a gostar do Guns N' Roses na primeira vez que eu ouvi esse solo de guitarra do Slash 👏👏👏

Don't cry is the next chapter to this song. A must do 👍

Everything here is epic!

I got a list for you! Welcome to the jungle I used to love her Mr Brownstone Its so easy Knocking on heavens door Paradise city Perhaps Slither... (Oops never mind that was Velvet revolver 😂😂😂) Rocket Queen. If the world

Most of the best bands have their masterpieces and I think this is GNRs. At the bar tonight, I heard another masterpiece that you should hear. Kansas' Carry On Wayward Son.

I got the tape before I saw it on mtv.. listened to it 50 times before the video came out on video

Favorite GnR❤song

ESTRANGED IS A MUST after this one ..they tie together ...you WILL BE BLOWN AWAY ..PEACE MY BROTHA 💯💯💯

Great band, beautiful song. They could have went for so many more decades, sad. Thanx so much, take care, Peace

They have so many great songs. Definitely should check out Civil War. Make sure you have the lyrics too.

The minute you said the only song you’d heard was Sweet Child Of Mine, I knew you would be amazed at the difference. Probably my favorite album. Don’t Cry is my favorite song!

They all gave swag. 2nd of a trilogy.

One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands!!

This video and the one to Estranged were very expensive videos for back in the day.

slash is the king of guitar. FULL STOP! He makes a guitar weep. pure talent. one of, if not the best player of all time. no gimmicks, wammy bars. just him and his trusty Gibson.

For another side of Guns and Roses, that has a comedic side to it in the lyrics listen to "Used To Love Her" 🤘😎

Theres about a 2 second clip of him walking to the gun store in the rain check it.

welcome to the rabbit hole of great guitar players.. you will love Molly Hatchet’s song: Flirting with disaster!

Please do Patience by Guns n Roses. Its so beautiful . The whistling gets me everytime. I love thses reaction videos especially ones that bring back ao many memories. I was in 6th grad when this dropped. It was such a long video but i watched it 24/7. Please please do Patience next though if you wanna hear something beautiful.

This video was the most expensive at the time 1.5million dollars❤

Also.. Axl was already working on this song when the band got together… he wanted the perfect power ballad, and he got it.

More Guns n Roses. Check out Paradise City , You could be mine Civil War

If you re-watch the video, you'll notice that the bride never really smiles, looks away etc as if she's nt happy.

This is part of a trilogy, you need to react to “Don’t Cry” and “Estranged”. Love your reactions, keep it going.

Shon you need to go back to their debut album , Appetite For Destruction. Sweet Child O Mine came from that album. Start with Welcome To The Jungle then do Paradise City , then Rocket Queen. The entire Appetite album is fire. One of the best selling debut albums of all time , its that good.

Check the other 2 songs of this trilogy by the order: DON'T CRY (either version) and ESTRANGED But I would love to see you react to CIVIL WAR

The most expensive video was for Estranged, which is the follow up in a trilogy of songs after November Rain. (Preceded by Don't Cry) Of the three, I think Estranged is the better song, both lyrically and instrumental, but I guess I'm in the minority looking at play count :)

They built the church (and tore it down) specifically for this music video.

I would love to see some reaction videos to smashing pumpkin. Also Pearl Jam.

Another one of the most expensive videos ever made and would LOVE to see you react to it: Lil Dicky - Pillow Talking. 😂😂😂

Gotta do Don't Cry and Estranged.

Bridezilla has heart attack after ruined wedding Reception. Axle made a video about it. Slash did whatever he wants.
