To be fair it only have like a billion views not counting the countless hours on radio and tv. So easy to miss

Just saw an interview with guitarist Slash. He said he hates this song because that intro is just how he warms up his fingers EVERYTIME before he plays any song. But Axel heard it, loved it, "What song is that??" "Song? That's not a song that's just a warm up I do." The rest is history.

To add Guns N' Roses is just a dope name

This was written about Erin Everly, daughter of Don Everly, of the Everly Brothers. She was Axl's girlfriend, then briefly, his wife. This album took a little while to take off, but once it did, you heard it on every radio, and in every cassette deck. It was pretty wild how big it got. 🤘💖🎸🎤

Mottos of gen X: "sex, drugs and rock & roll". "Live fast, die young, leave a great looking corpse". The one's of use who survived the 80's & 90's remember it fondly. Usually followed by the thought "what the hell were we thinking?"

His lead guitarist is Slash (black curly hair) .. he played guitar w Michael Jackson live on Beat It and MJ went crazy cause he knew how talented Slash was !! That’s why he asked him to perform w him .. you should react to that live version ! It’s awesome .. Slash took that song over w the guitar.. also I suggest Paradise City video version by Guns n Roses .. it’s amazing !

Loved your reaction! I grew up in the ‘70s, and G&R was huge when I got out of college. It’s awesome that all these years later their music still kicks ass! Thanks for bringing me back to the memory of hearing this like it was the first time

The famous riff was originally a finger exercise Slash was performing on his guitar in an idle moment. Ax'l fell in love with it and put the lyrics to it. *Short version of story

I really enjoy watching people react to some of the best music of our time. It brings so many amazing memories back and sometimes wish I could hear them for the first time again. GNR have always been amazing same with pink Floyd, CCR Metallica, led zeppelin lanyard skynard, billy idol and so many more. I don't know if you have reacted to any of the Angel's music. Could I suggest am I ever goin a see your face again. It needs to be live and around the 80's. It more about the stage presence and crowd interaction. That is one thing I miss about punk and rock music especially the likes of Australian bands who came up through the pub scenes.

This is going back in time when music was an experience👊 From that Slash intro, to the vocals of Axl then to the solo from Slash and the mix from both towards the end... It is a masterclass in music.

Undeniably my fav Guns n Roses song!!!!!

Listen to them and their song Knocking on heaven's door

Haven’t you heard this like a year ago

Bro, you are discovering the greatest decade of music ever created. Those of us who lived it are so happy to see someone from your generation rocking out to it too! The concerts were like nothing else since!

Omg! You are absolutely a bright spot in this world! That ain’t fake, you are diggin it💜You always bring a smile to your viewers and I see some of your Dads chair dancing in you💜☮️💜☮️keep it up…and thanks💜☮️💜

He sang at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert! The lineup of singers were fantastic and you should really check it out!

Daaamn ! I love the fact that young'guns are now discovering for the first time songs that were all the rage when I was their age. Gun's n Roses was one of the absolute most iconic bands of the end of 80's to early 90's, and all their songs that went on the radio and MTV were instant cult classics ! Also, Slash, the guitarist, was widely proclaimed to be the best rock guitarist of the world during this era, sometimes requested by the greatest, like Michael Jackson. If you've seen the teaser trailer of Thor Love and Thunder, you might have recognized that vaguely familiar riff. I love James Gunn and Taika Waititi for this, in the MCU : They're bringing their fantastic musical taste to it, making it that much more cult classics !

"Where do we go.. where do we go now".... we go to Jesus. That line always makes me think of that.

Saw these guys live in 1989 at the Calling All Nations tour when they were at peak fame. These guys are hella iconic.

Jojo! Good to see you kid!👏🏼I think Slash was just messing around with that main riff not even taking it seriously and then I think Axl was like wtf is that you keep playing and Slash basically laughed and said you like this?? And then he and the other guys started to actually work on the music while Axl wrote the lyrics about his girlfriend..I think it went to number 1 in 87 or 88..I think you’d def.like “Night train” too kid great song but what makes it is the guitar work so perfect for you great job as always JoJo👍🏼

They performed every song like a masterpiece lil brother. Seriously GnR are one of the best.

"this sounds famous like ive heard it somewhere" maybe bc its iconic? 😭

Sucha a banger!

It's kinda famous... 😆

Ok , if you ain't listened to November rain or Mr. Brownstone, two songs I highly recommend if you haven't heard them . November rain is the definition of a power ballad. And Mr Brownstone was wrote in reaction to one of the band members GFs getting him hooked on heroine

Great reaction. 👍🏻

I love when people listen to previous generations music. Yes amazing music has existed for thousands of years. Check out each decades best bands in every genre it will blow your mind and expand your life.

Yes this a legendary Song as they are a legendary band....great sound, iconic voice as instrumental

Damn I love the guitar in this song. Iconic is just too small of a word for it. This is such a feel good get up and sing and move song.

I love your expressions young man! I grew up as a teenager listening to this when it all first came out. God I feel old!

good boy... good reaction..... such a classic....

Watching your reaction has been wonderful, thank you. One second you're dancing along and then next you're giving it the "WTF stare of death"... Edit: 7:40 Asking the _big questions_ man! Questions no one ever asks. But should!

You should check out their song "pretty tied up" So good

i love the aggressive head bopping

He's banging hard to the mellow part, hahaha!

If I remember correctly this was wrote for Axl Rose's first wife, Erin, who was the the daughter of Don Everly of the Everly Brothers. I've seen Guns n Roses in concert and Slash is really that good. I've always considered him one of the top guitarists in Rock. If I remember correctly when it came to record that beginning riff it took Slash multiple tries, like in the double digits, even though when he came up with it he was just joking around in warm up. Actually Slash's mother is a rather famous TV actress who played the African American lady part of the interracial couple who were friends/neighbors of George & Lousie Jefferson on the show "The Jeffersons".

I was never a "fan' of G&R but this tune is an amazing display of musicianship.

Lmao the angel comments had me cracking up at work so everyone heard me & probably think I’m crazy. Oh well! Keep your reactions coming! I love them! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Best of all time to me. Was a teenager. Went to their shows.

GNR is one of the greatest if not the greatest of all time from slash in the guitar to Axl Rose with his golden voice

I used to play this on the drums. Way back in my band days. Great music! Used to hang out with friends and blare this type of music. I liked a lot of rock, and heavy metal. Hell even way back in the Rat Pack Days. I liked all kinds I guess you can say.

So what I love about alternate versions of a song is that it lets you reinterpret and reimagine a song. Take this song, for example. Me and a couple of friends jam every Saturday night in the garage and have for years. Our ages range from 65 to 49. For the youngest, the drummer, this song was popular when he was in high school. It was played at dances and prom. For me, it was while in college and we sang with it at parties. For the two older guys who were already married with kids and working full time when it came out....they were not big fans and really did not get to know the song. So when we decided to play it as a band (Drummers fav song) we all listened to it over and over. Two members could not connect but liked the basic feel of the song.....so we did what many do and remade it our way. We moved it to a minor key, slowed it down and it became a much darker sound that tells the story in a different voice. The original rumored to be about Erin Everly who many claim wrote the song and Axels Girl friend at the time. Our version is inspired about people being lost in the world today and having to find a way out on their own. Many truest hate when a song is remade or alternate versions made of the song. For me, a well written song should be remade over and over and over and bring new life and meaning to new audiences. Take Black Betty. Was a folk song from the 30's recorded by Leadbelly in the 40's popularized by Ram Jam in the 70's and brought back to millions by Tom Jones in 2003. Each time remade for a different audience and tells a different story. From the original musket story to the story about a woman. As long as the band gives credit to the original, the interpretations become amazing. Want to hear our version and how we interpreted the song? Take a listen kzread.info/dash/bejne/m4KYxqecXc2ZeKQ.html

80s music had rythem ...musicians actually played every note perfectly in time..no computers back then to redo notes.
