One of the greatest songs ever written..

This song is so terribly underrated, it's downright criminal.💯 It doesn't get anywhere near the recognition it deserves.🙁

When Axl sings the bridge "I'll never find anyone to replace you..." it got to me 32 yrs ago and still does..

We didn't just have music videos in the 90's, we had epics.

The delivery of the lyrics "When I find out all the reasons, Maybe I'll find another way, Find another day, With all the changing seasons of my life, Maybe I'll get it right next time" send chills down my spine every single time.

This and the next verse always stood out to me. Blue collar machinist who became pretty successful. got married , bought a house, 2yrs later in 2010 the bubble burst. We all went into debt keeping the doors open. The plan was for myself and the #2 guy to buy the shop. after 2 long years we came to the conclusion we couldn't. Now 8yrs later I'm still successful compared to many people I know. But I don't have that spark, my head isn't held high, i'm not really proud of of being a cog in someone else wheel...This second verse hits me hard.....

This song was part of the GNR Trilogy. It started with "Don't Cry" the next was "November Rain" followed up by this song "Estranged" it's a story. And this was the Masterpiece.

Facts my favorite G N' R SONG from my favorite band ever

For those that don't know what this artistic trilogy means, let me try my best to explain (read until the end): Don't Cry, November Rain & Estranged are part of an intentional trilogy of music produced by GnR. They are based on a short story called "Without You" by Del James (which also has loose ties to Axl's own real life). At the very end of Estranged, the lyrics "Without You" are actually specifically mentioned. These songs are meant to be taken in that specific context. They have the same director for the videos and have musical tie ins such as drum fill ins and certain chord progression culminations. Summary: Don't Cry talks about the problems in their relationship (and others in the band). Think of it as starting like Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope... Lucas started in the middle of the story instead of with Episode 1. November Rain moves back in time and shows the wedding which takes place before Don't Cry. Then it flashed forward and shows his wife's death. So this is akin to the Star Wars Prequels and then flashes forward to the beginning of last Star Wars trilogy. Estranged is how he deals with all of the emotions. Either you let life bring you down and succumb to the sorrow or you fight back and take control of your own life. This would be akin Star Wars Episode 9. It's a masterpiece and Axl is a musical genius. Axl has a higher octave range than virtually every singer you've ever heard of from Mariah Carey to Freddie Mercury. Super talented individual. Cheers!

To me, this is their absolute best. The whole band is just killing it in all the passages of the song, which perfectly tells the message it wants to get across, not only in the lyrics, but with every instrumental change as well. Masterpiece! Thanks for doing this! ❤

Estranged is my favorite narrative epic from GNR. It is so underrated and I am grateful you reacted to it. There is no resolution. Time and time again even the song structure focuses on the struggle and that is what being estranged is all about. Never getting an closer, never getting any resolution. It is just such a perfectly articulate song about the subject matter.

I think this is their greatest song. I was age 17 when Appetite was released and 21 when Illusions 1&2 were released. GnR were such an important part of my youth. They were the greatest band on earth. Part of me is happy they didn’t continue with that dominance. I liken them to The Doors. In very short time, they made such a massive impact. They will always be one of the all time greats to me.

Was my first band T-shirt I ever bought and wore that thing almost every day with lots of pride! Yeah, massively important for me as an evolving teenager. And still fantastic today! So much better than today's mainstream "music". Although my absolute favourite song is not this, but Civil War. But this is also a masterpiece.

One of their best songs if not the best. This song, musically, is an absolute masterpiece. There is so much going on. They even talk about how difficult this song is to play live. Nothing but talent on every instrument not to mention the vocals and writing.

Right Jay,....get Amber to listen and react to November Rain!! btw,,,,MANY great songs on their 1st album that will blow y'alls mind. Rocket Queen, Mr. Brownstone, My Michelle, Night Train, just to name a few. Their 1st album is the best selling debut album of all time--and for good reason.

The most ear-pleasing guitar tones I've ever heard. Slash is so expressive with the way he plays. He and Axl are an incredible songwriting duo.

I once read Axl Rose has the widest vocal range of any singer. I like his reserved storytelling on this one. Love how they let the song breathe. Nothing wrong with taking your time when music is this good.

I remember my boyfriend in 1987 introducing me to GNR before anyone had really heard of them. I've always been a fan, and always will be. We would blare Appetite For Destruction while we would close up at McDonald's and just scream every song.

Slash, one of the greatest to ever do it..great song

The Use Your Illusion albums (and the videos from them) were freakin' masterpieces from start to finish and this is one of the shining examples of why. I listened to this song about a million times when I was 13, way too young to understand the lyrics. Now that I'm an adult it hits so much harder and is still relatable.

To this day GnR is one of my fave bands of all time- I got to see them live a few years back during their reunion tour with my husband- seeing Slash do his solo on top of Axl’s piano during November Rain (my actual fave song) brought me to tears.

No frontman comes close to Axl Rose 1987-1993.

Epic! Somehow it is an overlooked gem in their catalog. The "sequel" to November Rain. Great song!

Should have done The Guns N' Roses Video Trilogy in one day for continuity.

My very favorite GnR song. So glad you checked it out.

Another long & epic song from them is "Civil War".

Another great song by Guns n Roses is Yesterday .

A brilliant masterpiece. Timeless.

Axl jumping off the ship is so poetic. It was really him. Long live GNR

I think this is Slash's most accomplished song technically. If you were to isolate his playing in the first section you'd hear that when the music goes quieter Slash is using controlled feedback from between his guitar and amp to create long undulating notes. It's a highly effective way to still have the guitar present in the quiet moments but without it overwhelming the vocals. Later in the song, when the dolphins turn up on the video, Slash uses volume swells to create sounds like whale song on his guitar. Slash's guitar parts on this song range from very intricate solos to these very delicate playing techniques and they prove he's more than a brash riff peddler. In fact, Axl specifically thanks Slash for his contributions on this song in the album's sleeve notes.

‘Thanks for the killer melodies Slash’ (from memoria, I bought that double that double album as a cassette tape in 1992 same as UYI1😬). I remember how I always hoped the inlay cards would actually contain messages and lyrics rather than just credits say😆).

I consider this more of a masterpiece than November Rain as it's a heavy piano based song for which Slash had to write a guitar track to go with it which was absolute killer and Axl gave Slash huge credit for doing so. For an even better song of theirs which is in my opinion their best and very underrated is a song called Coma which is their longest ever at over ten minutes. There is no video for this song but there are ones with lyrics which are deep as the song is based on a true event from Axl's life. It is EPIC.

i love the guitar play, but not many people really appreciate the bass that create this awesome sound...

IMO this is Guns n roses best song. Its pretty much perfect. Amazing vocals, amazing lyrics, guitars are beautiful as well as the piano melody

1st time seeing this video when i was 6th grade . 1993 i think, and still Epic in 2024. omg cant believe this

I believe this song/video is like part of a trilogy with November Rain and Don't Cry

My favorite song of my favorite GnR album

That last "I never wanted it to die" lyric still..... to this very day.....chokes me up.....

That GNR will melt your face right off, put it back in place, then just melt it off again

This is probably my favorite Guns n' Roses song.

This one grows on you to the point where it ultimately stands out as THE masterpiece.

This and "Coma" were the highlights of the double album Illusions.

This was great craftsmanship

That second solo is one of the reasons I've been playing guitar since.

This just magnificent!! Thank you internet!! 😅

I recommend "Civil war,you could be mine, nighttrain,paradise city"

Spent many a night jamming to this on the jukebox at my watering hole

This is Guns N' Roses true masterpiece!

GnR doesn’t get enough credit for their beauty and artistic moments. Great band

Please do Wanted Man or Back For More by Ratt you guys haven’t done them in a while and man they know how to rock. Shame there was so much conflict in the band and Robbin “the king” Crosby (rhythm guitarist) passed in such a bad way from a heroin overdose after struggling with HIV and a pancreatic condition. RIP the king.

You picked a great one. GnR is phenomenal and "Estranged" is from the Use Your Illusion II album. GnR released two albums at the same time back in 1991 to huge fanfare. The anticipation of these albums was crazy. Check out "You Could Be Mine (from Terminator soundtrack)"

A suggestion for Female Friday! PLEASE react to Bjork! You will love her. She's quirky and so talented! Her best are "Human Behavior" "An Army Of Me" and "Venus as a Boy". Her videos are so creative ! One of a kind. ❤ Bjork (pronounced Byork)

What a MASTERPIECE!!!!

Look when Axl locked the door. Manual locks are gone.

WOW!! Deep cut -- Estranged is my fave off that album!!

Best song on Use Your Illusion I&II. Saw them in 1992 perform this, it was THE show stopper.

Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the conspirators.. Anastasia live from Sydney. Great stuff

If you want another really unique story song from GNR *please* listen to Coma! It's a masterpiece. Civil War is also a great pick (epic), or Yesterdays (soft), or Live and Let Die (cover of McCartney's song) Or a few more banging hard-rock songs from their debut album are Nightrain, Mr Brownstone, and My Michelle.

My fav song guns n roses , seen them live in Paris on the use your illusions tour , and this was epic live

What a stunning song from the Illusions twin album set with 30 tracks between the 2 double album sets …. This is from the second half in blue. It’s a killer pair of albums but you will see there are a few tracks that could be missed or released on the B-sides…. Pretty Tied Up, You Could Be Mine which is used in the Terminator2 movie. Excellent album and powerful too !!!!

I knew the song long before I watched the video. That video is cool and has a ton of cool footage, but I feel the cry and emotion in that song, and will always love it. It's also a fantastic piece of music, beautifully arranged.

This is my most favorite song of GNR masterpiece!

My all-time favorite GNR.

Estranged is the finale of the the whole GNR triology and a pristine masterpiece in rock'n roll history, up there with Stairways to Heaven, Like a Rolling Stone, Sultans of Swing, Another brink in the wall etc. Thats the league we talkin about here.

My favorite song from Guns N Roses, i love this band.

going to see Guns N Roses live, front row in San Antonio in September... excited!

Estranged is a truly masterpiece, so beautifull and deep. This is a song that really grows on you the more you hear it.

Yes yes! This is my favourite song of all time!! Love from New Zealand
