@@user-sm2ql7nq4l The song is about LA and his first visit to Hollywood after leaving Indiana, but the thing the guy said to him was in NYC. The song was written in Seattle when it struck him how big LA is compared to Seattle and brought back the feeling of first going there in the early 80s. There's a lot of confusion over which city the song is talking about because of this but it is indeed talking about LA, particularly Hollywood.

Can we have a moment for Steven Adler? The drums were crucial to this song. Young, blonde and talented. He was stunning on drums... before the heroin. Everyone feels Axl, Slash, Duff and Izzy, but that first album was life changing by Steven. He has never recovered from that fall.

It's honestly amazing how good the musicianship and songwriting are on this album, it being their first. These guys were all prodigies.

It’s basically just about living the big city street life from their own personal experiences before they “made it” axl came from a small midwestern town in Indiana so that is what the scene at the beginning of him getting off the bus and looking like what did I get myself into is alluding to

Love GnR!! One of the best bands to come out of the 80's. Their whole Appetite For Destruction album is pure fire. Not one bad song on the whole thing. Great song pick and reaction!! 🙂

Fun Fact: Before the release of their first album Appetite For Destruction, Guns & Roses made a cameo appearance in the Clint Eastwood movie Dead Pool, not to be confused with Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool.

No other band's debut album has been as freakishly great, beginning to end as Appetite for Destruction. And every album they've put out are equally mind-blowing, each in its own way.

axl's vocals on this album are legendary... straight talk

G N' R were at the height of their powers during the Appetite era. One of the greatest debut albums of all time. The reason they're also respected in the hip hop community is cos they got that street cred. They were grimmy as hell.

When you said about metal being lyrically competent, you'll find that all music - especially this kind, is really symbolic. Far beyond most people's expectations. Behind the drugs alcohol and belligerency of most of these groups are some pure geniusness and some heartfelt shit. Like Kickstart My Heart, that was all about Motley's bassist Nikki Sixx and his crazy trip of dying three types to subsequent heroin ODs and revivals. This song's about Seattle and Axl's views and crazy experiences at the place, he wrote the song very poetically from that standpoint.

I will always remember this song as the part in "Lean on Me" when Morgan Freeman playing a high school principal re-enters the school system after a long hiatus. He went from a sweet school with no problems to an urban school with sex, drugs, violence, and... failing grades, and the wake-up call was made that much more a reality played with "Welcome to the Jungle."

If you really listen and try to understand, you have to understand that this music comes from the soul, and that soul is pissed off. The reasons for the anger are as different for everyone as our individuality. The tie that binds us is anger.

Omg! Thank you for reacting GnR Welcome to the Jungle ❤️❤️❤️ been waiting for this! 😍

Your reaction was so amazing man! Really appreciate it!

If you like the transitions and the complex orchestration, you should listen to their song Estranged. It's about 9 minute long so it might be a bit long for a video, but it's a great piece of art. Civil War is deeper than deep in terms of the lyrics, but again it's a long one... Axl Rose has one of the widest recorded vocal ranges, I can't remember if it is 5 full octaves or it spans across 5 octaves (?) but in terms of range most of the divas and celebrated vocal artists can't compete with him.

Nobody matches axl in his singing…one of the best of all times and is still the master of his talent.

We had this song play when the DJ introduced my husband and I for our wedding reception.

I love them so much, I wish i could’ve seen them in their prime

Don't Cry from GNR is awesome. It really shows how good Duff's voice is

Axl has the widest vocal range recorded, so far.

Doubtful...Jeff Buckley /Aretha Franklin both had 8 octave solid range....Axle Roses breath control is his strong point...

Sebastian Bach can sing circles around Axl. Axl's prime was the 80s and 90s, but he is not able to hit those high notes as well now. Sebastian has power pipes that don't quit. He also has sang on Broadway. That takes quite a bit of vocal prowess.

No one going to point out Rob Halford? Axl Is my fave but if we are talking technical ability Rob Halford. Pavarotti called him the greatest male vocalist of the century.

You’re my favourite kind of reactor; genuinely wanting to explore music and other genres

this metal fan loves your channel! great work and subscribed!

At one of their concerts, Axl said he had just got off the bus in NY and he encountered some folks who asked him “do you know where you are... you’re in the jungle, baby.” They got some dope lyrics

Glad you’re doing another song from this album! I said in your Paradise City reaction the whole album is the ish! Side note: totally over here doing the Axl shimmy as I listen 😂😂

LOVED everything they did...til I bought a live album of theirs. I can't recall the one, but I discovered I was NOT as hard as I thought 😂. He started talking about cutting off his girlfriend's f@#&ing head, and I returned the tape. I was NOT ready for ALL THAT. "You have GOT to take this back...it scared the $h!t outta me." I was active duty military and pretty tough as girls went...but still a southern girl. 😄

Sweet child of mine is even better

It's a better song musically --- but mostly a ballad that attracted the women fans

Checkout Mr Brownstone.. it’s abt heroin 🤷🏻‍♀️

First album I ever bought. Great album. Axl’s howl and swag. 🔥

Subscribed because of this video. Keep up the great work.

The jungle is also what was the hell of Vietnam was. So many metaphors for the "jungle."

It's about when Axl first arrived in L.A. from a small town farming community...n also getting into the Rock n Roll life...the line "You know where you are?! You're in the jungle baby...You're gonna DIE!!!" was actually the very first thing he was told by an older man pestering him when he stepped off the bus!!🙊🌹

Yeah, simple encounter and simple words was the start of a classic rock song with great lyrics backed by outstanding vocals and a power guitar grind by Slash. But its all about LA (or any metropolitan city).. The sex, drugs, rock n roll, crime, police brutality... Just everything that brings someone to their knees in the concrete jungle.

Omggg you had me laughing all through the video lol GNR!🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

so loving your reactions and I haven't heard some of these songs in many years. Brings me back, wow
