Greetings from Moscow, Russian Federation!!! Very important message of this song at all! No killing, no war, don't make the mothers, sisters, wifes cry!

One of the best songs ever written, still so relevant

I did a report on this song my senior year of highschool. My AP English teacher was an older white man, and he was shocked that music was still recognizing the inconsistencies of history

This is my favorite guns N roses song ever

Prophetic. Thank you for bringing this at this terrible time. In case anyone missed the message: Lyrics Look at your young men fighting Look at your women crying Look at your young men dying The way they've always done before Look at the hate we're breeding Look at the fear we're feeding Look at the lives we're leading The way we've always done before My hands are tied The billions shift from side to side And the wars go on with brainwashed pride For the love of God and our human rights And all these things are swept aside By bloody hands time can't deny And are washed away by your genocide And history hides the lies of our civil wars D'you wear a black armband When they shot the man Who said "peace could last forever" And in my first memories They shot Kennedy I went numb when I learned to see So I never fell for Vietnam We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all That you can't trust freedom When it's not in your hands When everybody's fightin' For their promised land And I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war Ow, oh no, no, no, no, no Look at the shoes you're filling Look at the blood we're spilling Look at the world we're killing The way we've always done before Look in the doubt we've wallowed Look at the leaders we've followed Look at the lies we've swallowed And I don't want to hear no more My hands are tied For all I've seen has changed my mind But still the wars go on as the years go by With no love of God or human rights 'Cause all these dreams are swept aside By bloody hands of the hypnotized Who carry the cross of homicide And history bears the scars of our civil wars I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich while it buries the poor Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I don't need your civil war I don't need your civil war Your power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no I don't need one more war I don't need one more war No, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway? Source: LyricFind Imagine a rock band sending this out us into the future. Stop. Breathe. Think. Save yourselves and others. Where the hell are ya'll going? Civil war. Do you really want that? Are things really that bad. Do any of us, (all of us) so privileged and ignorant that we do not understand how blessed we are? (I am Canadian watching current events in America and just floored) I grew up as a little white girl in poverty. No Daddy to speak of. No wealth for sure. Immersed in other cultures of people in the same boat as me. Seen a LOT of disaster and violence and just general shittyness. But also deeply inspired by people (of (a;ll cultures) around me rising above, working hard. Dedicated and loyal and fair. I could focus on the suicides and stabbings and beating that I saw as a young girl. But i do not see it that way. I observed GREAT compassion, service and examples of love and ethics in a very diverse neighbourhood. I have been jealous of my neighbours in many ways and still am. I observed deep family and community relations that I did not have. Deep tolerance and patience with people not understanding each other. Although, dorky and somewhat awkward, i did not receive much bullying. In fact, one of the scariest situations of my life, I was SAVED from a group of Rastafarians in my neighbourhood. ( a man chasing me in his car to abduct me). So all of this race rhetoric is completely lost on me. Any real violence I sew was either domestic or drug related. But culturally, we all figured out how to get along and we took care of each other. This is part of MY story ... I doubt anyone cares ... The Race Relations in America are absolutely confusing to me.

i thank you for providing lyrics even though most of us know them. i was hoping he would, but it takes someone like you who, ive looked for gnr metallica and many more "rock reactions" most are rappers hip hopers or some shit reacting for first time, and they all have a misconception of it some think its satanic like some for master of puppets they dont see the true meaning, all this bands from the 80s mid 80s most talked about justice wars drugs, and all the problems they caused, 80s was wild and drugs played a big role, still can believe people way older than me have this old way of stereotyping rock as satanic, its so ignorant

never say that, why would you think that? you need to convince yourself what matter is you, never say that when giving your opinion, at least I care. all your experiences helped you think that way same for me, and even though we had some real hard times if i were given the chance to change anything i wouldnt, what if im not the person i am today? i myself needed to suffer to be more affectionate towards others and to enjoy something as simple as being able to watch a reaction for a song i love and being able to know there is someone like you who enjoys this as well, happiness earned the easy way doesnt last, but going through all that and still being able to be happy, that will be hard to lose

I love when people react to songs WITH the lyrics so they can get the message of the song rather than just jamming out to it. Very well done. I would recommend “Paradise City” by Guns N Roses w/lyrics. It sounds like a party song but it actuality Axl is saying something if you read the lyrics.

No joke. Everyone listening to "Pumped Up Kicks" saying "That's my jam" not knowing what the lyrics are about drives me crazy.

You did a fantastic job reacting and breaking down this song. This has been one of my favorite songs since 1991.

This speaks to even to the times we're are experiencing today! Sad but true!

Man the message in the song is amazing

Great reaction bro! Keep the GnR train going 🤘🏻🤠🤘🏻

And Axl Rose with bandana and cow boy hat

Axel rose, for the longest time had the widest range for any vocalist. He has sung notes that span nearly on the low end, from F1, the second-lowest octave in scientific pitch notation, (There Was a Time - from the album "Chinese Democracy"), to B flat 6 (Ain't it Fun - from the album "The Spaghetti Incident?"), and sometimes above it. Rose has a lower baritone than Barry White, and can reach higher notes than Tina Turner and Beyoncé even Mariah. That's pretty much 6 octaves. You should react to their song Estranged...It's about unrequited love, acknowledging it and being there, and having to figure out what the fuck to do… ultimately coming out the other side. You can put up the video, especiallyif you pause it, I've seen other reactors do it.

This was the path Axl’s mind began going down after they hit fame. He seemed to be the one early on that wanted to stop doing party, drug songs and focus on relevant topics instead. However, once they blew out all their old material on Use Your Illusion 1.2 they never released another creative album. The band broke up and Axl carried on working on an album called Chinese Democracy for nearly two decades. By the time part 1 of Chinese released in 2008 it didn’t live up to its title. We never saw the other two parts but now as the band has reformed with Slash, and the only words Axl speaks publicly are on politics it makes you wonder if they can squeeze out that magic that made this song on a new album three decades later.

well, actually Axl was the one spending tons of money on exotic parties backstage

The song includes the American Civil War song, "When Johnny Comes Marching Home", whistled by Axl Rose in the intro and outro.

This song is too true for us today. Great reaction, you heard it on every level. Thank you.

great reaction! the lead guitarist is called Slash!

I'm 48 now, and GNR was HUGE when I was young. It's really great to see a new generation not only appreciate their music but take the time to actually understand it. Thanks for this video, you made my day.

This song only becomes more relevant as time goes on

You have to check out “Estranged” by them...such a masterpiece on all levels

Love, love, love GNR!! So many great songs for you to react to. Thanks for doing this one and for the reaction!! You're Awesome!! 🙂

That's slash on guitar and the part that you said you didn't know what happened is a quote from a Peruvian general named strother Martin he said We practice selective annihilation of mayors and government officials, For example, to create a vacuum. Then we fill that vacuum as popular war advances. Peace is closer."

"Did you wear a black armband when they shot the man who said that peace could last forever" When he was four years old, bassist Duff McKagan went to a march with his mother, after Martin Luther King had been shot.

One of best songs ever. Just one of best songs at all the times!

The one and only Axl Rose, my friend

Holds true to this very day!!

knockin on heavens door live at the freddie mercury tribute concert and patience!

"You can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands" ... that is something.. something and a half....

Axl...just the best singer to ever walk the earth

I'm late to the reaction, but absolutely loved watching this. I have been a long time fan of GnR. They are typically remembered in a negative light and highly misunderstood. Their songs, when broken down, have always had a message or story. People usually just assume they had no depth, or real skill. That's just laughable. Great reaction and breakdown. Thank you.

Slash is on the Electric Guitar. The, " Use Your Illusions" are great albums. And a Native American female, I can understand the conflict.

Hey yo man preciate it brother stay safe everybody

I was thinking he could have meant him or John Lennon. Both men preached Peace Both lives sadly shortened by a bullet.

Part of the American Civil War song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" is used at the beginning and end of the song, where it's whistled by Axl Rose. Slash (Saul Hudson), Duff (Michael McKagan) and W. Axl Rose wrote this for Use Your Illusion 2, which was released simultaneously with Use Your Illusion 1. The song originally appeared on the 1990 album Nobody's Child, a fundraising compilation for Romanian orphans.

METALLICA Disposable Heros is along those lines too.

The quote towards the end is a speech by a Peruvian Shining Path communist guerrilla officer saying "We practice selective annihilation of mayors and government officials, for example, to create a vacuum, then we fill that vacuum. As popular war advances, peace is closer".

You'll like War Pigs from Black Sabbath if you haven't heard it probably and if you haven't done Queen songs Freddie Mercury's got an awesome voice

Great video man. Really liked it

GNR.....oh yes....Slash is ridiculously good.....🎼🎶🎸🎤🤘🔥😎Look at when they released this song......these lyrics are profound. The tension in Axl’s vocal against that screaming guitar of Slash........genius. Changes aren’t permanent, but change is......( Neil Peart- Rush ) Change is relevant and necessary- Albert Einstein.

Happy about any GNR reaction beyond the Hits....great lyrics and melody and guitar....keep exploring..Use your Illusions is full of awesome stuff...

The lead guitarist is Slash.

This is a protest song and you can really apply it to that’s happening today this shit has been going on and I like the song with the lyrics some food forethought

More relevant today than it was when it was written

Springsteen’s Ghost of Tom Joad, rock roll hof performance. Huber Strike Both are still resonating powerfully.

Slash on lead guitar and Izzy on rhythm guitar.

Love your reviews. Please do more Guns N’ Roses. Do some stuff off of Chinese democracy. Like better, if the world, this I love.

Oh I would love to see you react to Crazy on you by Heart, the vocals are amazing

They don't always block them it's hard to say whether they will or not but I don't think it has to do with volume

For real rush check out "Breakdown" from Use Your Illusion. Profound, wise and it kicks ass! Anyway , thanks for another fun reaction!

a tip to react to would be Coma. Greetings from Germany!!!

Do some more guns n' roses man do Paradise City and Knocking on heaven's door back to back from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992 if you want to see what they're all about. Best live band ever

You have to do knocking on heavens door and paradise city from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert if you want to see the best live band ever?

I agree with all your comments that you made at the last

You're the best reactor man but you need to get into a lot more guns and roses I know you'll love them. Two Paradise City and Knocking on heaven's door back to back from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992. Best live band ever and I know you love Queen. They played those two songs at the tribute concert check it out you won't be disappointed

Axl is brilliant..

try Guns N Roses - Coma next is a whole new level

This song should make everyone cry, and when the tears have dried We collectively turn the tide and begin the political genocide The scars aren’t ours The cowards in the Ivory Towers should bear those marks Monetary whores I don’t want to hear from them no more Bury the rich Feed the poor And let history tell the truth Of their false wars The bloody hands of the hypnotized Stripped our pride and ostracized our minds With forked tongue talk of God and human rights Sending the sons of others To defend imaginary lines or die trying Their half truth history loses sight Once we’ve written what’s right War, civil unrest, inequality We’ll abolish Ain’t that fresh

And to think this song is around 30 yrs old

Reaction civil war live Paris 92 please

Axl Rose =6 octave range.

Okay bro, I have a music track I'd like you to check out and I'm willing to bet you won't have heard of it.😁It's called "Shard of Ice" by the Russian band "Aria" and the song is from the year 2002.🤘I want to see your reaction to that one, but it has to be a first listening, no cheating and having a sound peek first.😅 Unfortunately the original video clip was filmed with a potato, it was like 480p, so I have personally remixed it plus added lyrics/subtitles in both Russian & English and reuploaded it onto my channel to give it a fighting chance of getting more listens among a Western audience. Plus I think the reaction will be better as my version is in 4k quality. Now as you probably know, I can't put a direct link here in the comments or our KZread overlords will flag it for spam and it'll get deleted. It's currently the sixth one down on my youtube channel but I will be adding more vids so that is going to change in future. To help you find it the title is: "Shard of Ice, by Aria. A progressive Russian rock ballad.🤯With English subtitles / translation." (if you do decide to do a reaction video all I ask is a link back to my video because that contains links to the band and where to buy the track if people like it...)

A masterpiece. Please react to Coma

How’s he feel about 1 in a million

Dont damn me! Locomotive! Plz

I guess you were watching the video but if you were just watching the lyrics you should watch the video on your own because bro it's got cops beating people And all that jazz
