Strother Martin giving the speech at the start of the song. From the movie Cold Hand Luke. The intro and outro whistle by Axl are the old American Civil War song When Johnny Comes Marching Home. The interlude quotes a Peruvian Shining Path guerilla officer. This song are the only one that featured the original drummer Steven Adler. The rest was done by Matt Sorum.

Came here to say this. Great movie.

This song came out when many countries around the world were having civil wars like in El Salvador. I loved it since the first time I heard it!

You gotta check out “Get in the ring”. Also from Use Your Illusion.

Gnr were a mixture of all genres because of their influences

When my fellow Ginger Hoosier gets on the piano GnR songs go to another level. The November Rain live performance with Elton John at the 92 MTV awards is amazing. Axl and Elton on the piano together is next level.

If your favorite GnR song is 'November Rain', then you would like 'Estranged'.

He looks like Steven Adler the drummer of Guns and Roses

Chinese Democracy is your favorite GNR album? 😮😳 You gotta understand, when this album coming out, it was an epic release. Even though we had GnR Lies, that was just an EP, so we had waited since Appetite for this release, and it was 2 albums. Use Your Illusion I & II were incredible, and still are. It was also an epic time for music, as we had like a dozen releases all released withing a few months of each other. Simply a great time for music, and a great time to be in college and angsty. Lol

1991 was an amazing year for rock and metal, so many classic albums released: Use Your Illusions 1+2 The Black Album - Metallica Arise - Sepultura Never Mind - Nirvana Just to name a few!!

The opening speech comes from the movie Cool Hand Luke early 70’s,

Funny how this song still relates to what's happening today. 30 some years after it was written and recorded. both the use your illusions are probably my favorite albums, but Appetite for Destruction was a HUGE influence.

We found out today that there is indeed 1 person in this world that has “Chinese Democracy” as their favorite GnR album

That's a pretty wild take when the same band is also responsible for Appetite for Destruction...one of the greatest rock albums ever made lol

A powerful song, a master piece…

Did you ever did 'Estranged'? It's from the same album en my persnal favourite, with Civil war right after that. Estranged is a masterpiece!

You got it right when you said every war is a civil war. Incredibly powerful and sadly apparently eternally relevant song.

The first album will always be my favorite album. I love the rest but the first one has so many good songs. Listen to the whole album .

Gums N Roses did my favorite cover of Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”.

It's more societal than political. It's more about what society is willing to tolerate and accept.

Rocket Queen is one of the best songs that encapsulates GNR talent

Axel was a really good whistler. Just throwing that out for the algorithm.

Speaking of TRS: Was at the Rolling Stones concert just a few days ago in Htown.. Mick Jagger said his first American tour began in that same city in 1964... Thats 60 years of touring here on this side of the pond... he had all the energy on stage too..

The quote at the beginning of the song is an audio clip from the movie Cool Hand Luke with Paul Newman..

You need to watch a “Live” performance of GNR doing this song ! You can feel the emotions of Axl and the band as they rock out

Love your reaction

This has always been my favourite gnr song. Cheers guy

Dude this is one of my favorite songs of theirs the message, the guitar solo, vocals and lyrics. Also the live verion of this back in the awards show and other live in 80s version this song is amazing.❤😊 love the whole breakdown and how u guys analyze it.

The song Chinese Democracy is 🔥

I love the Smoke Dog just be vibin!This is such a great song!

F yeaya! Nice one Atlanta!!!! Mad love from Richmond Va ☘️💥

The whistling at the start - the ants go marching - is When Johnny Comes Marching Home, and is an American Civil War era song.

My biggest self realization is that I've lived in my head for many years and I need to remind myself on the daily to do grounding and be mindful and enjoy the moments life gives me

Masterpiece

This song is fantastic. The lyrics so true....

Masterpiece. 🤘🏻

I started listening to Guns around the time I was 7-8 when Appetite for Destruction came out. This is probably their best song. If I wanted someone to know about them I'd play this. It has everything that made them cool-imo. Piano, sweet guitars, drums, singing all over the place, great message.

If ya wanna know how guns n roses felt about the press the very next song on this album is get in the ring yeah axl calls everyone out

One of my Guns N’ Roses favorite songs. So many great songs. Rocket queen, Night train, One in a million, Patience: pretty much all of them. My favorite from Chinese Democracy is There was a time: the guitar solos are freaking amazing. I love your enthusiasm. I think Civil war is about all the war aside from the 1st and 2nd world war. He also mentioned Vietnam

What magic masterpiece.....I love this Song.....

The "Use Your Illusion" albums by Guns N' Roses, released in 1991, have distinctive album covers. "Use Your Illusion I" features a detail from Raphael's "The School of Athens" painting, which depicts various philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians from classical antiquity. The cover of "Use Your Illusion II" features a modified version of a painting by Mark Kostabi, an artist known for his surreal and thought-provoking works. The modified version for the album cover is titled "Time Fades Away." Both covers are quite intricate and visually striking, adding to the mystique of the albums.

My biggest self realization was things are never as they seem. When I learned that it made me a lot more aware of the world around me

Smokey in the wig and sunglasses is a spitting image for Dave Stewart in the 1980's ! big love to all people :)

Guns N' Roses got their name from the fact that it was originally the union of Hollywood Rose and LA Guns, two big bands on the scene in that day. Also, to quote Freud, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." The song is literally a call for peace on Earth. If you think about when the band grew up, it was in the aftermath of WWII and the rise of American exceptionalism in the 50s, followed by the wars in Korea and Vietnam. At the time they were working on this album, the Middle East conflict was heating up again, shortly after Iran-Contra. All they'd seen, it seems, was people being killed in wars that only made the rich richer. So they pulled from Lennon and are asking to give peace a chance.

That was the old man from cool hand Luke the movie talking... where Paul Newman Had to eat 50 boiled eggs in an hour eggs for a bet

Loved H&R and I agree, this is my favorite song by them.

My biggest realization was iv made mistakes and I wish I didn't make them.. but I would never want to forget the lessons

The spoken word part about "as popular war advances" is a quote from the Pentagon Papers.

My favorite band right here glad you shared this, check out all the albums, they have been my favorite but when use your illusion albums came out just solidified them as rock legends. Im gonna try and do the you got it my friend, thanks. Have a good one fellas. Thanks again so glad you enjoyed 🎉 Check out get in the ring on that album,

Hollywood don't try to overthink it. According to the band it is a protest song on war , referring to all war as "civil war" cause war only "feeds the rich while it buries the poor". Duff McKagan said , " I went in a peace march , when i was a little kid with my mom. I was like 4 years old , for Martin Luther King. And thats where the line , 'Did you wear the black arm band when they shot the man who said : Peace could last forever ?". It's just true life expieriences , really.

My favorite too

The intro is from the movie Cool Hand Luke with Paul Newman..great movie btw

The opening speech is from the Paul newman movie cool hand Luke based on the speech the song goes a different direction

The spoken word in the beginning of the song Is from a movie Called cool hand luke Start the great paul Newman

Classic! 🤘🏻🇧🇷

My self realization is I do for many people cause I have a big heart but nobody does for me. Can't let people into my world cause no trust.

Great song, great reaction My too 3 are: Mr. Brownstone Nightrain It’s so easy

Best Gn'R song right there

One of my GnR favorites for sure! I'm so glad someone else appreciates it as much as I do. I think people were so turned off by the Chinese Democracy album that it wasn't given a chance. A classic for sure 🤌🏾

Not sure if you've done it or not but "get in the ring" is a good one

I just listened GnR concert on YT and Axl Rose his voice is 🫣 not the same anymore.

I sure wish you guys would react too Breakdown by Guns n Roses....it is my all time favorite song by them hands down.

I can’t narrow down top three G&R songs. But this Is definitely one of the best.

Civil war my favorite gnr song too Holly wood needs to listen to both use your illusions imediately

You guys should check out G&R's Mr. Brownstone.

Cool hand Luke my all time favorite movie ❤

My biggest self realisation: Everyone else is too focused on their own insecurities to be worried about mine

We used to make fun of this song so hard but it’s always a good listen.

Cmon my brotha's, ya gotta do Get in the Ring!! Tis the diss season and no better time than now to do the first rock diss. Lova ya guys.

You guys should react to their first album, “Appetite for Destruction.” Now THAT’s the REAL CLASSIC Guns’n Roses with their ORIGINAL lineup!

Appetite is the only answer for best album. Every song on that album is good.

One of my favorite GnR songs. Have you ever checked out Get In The Ring by them? It's kind of a diss song. Greetings from Germany

My fav albums are Appetite for Destruction, Use your Illusion 1&2…..

You all should react to Coma off the Use Your Illusions I album. It's absolutely epic and grossly underrated song. My absolute favorite GNR song.

Public Enemy - "Harder Than You Think" (lyric breakdown) Michael Franti and Spearhead - "Good To Alive Today" (lyric breakdown)

Crazy how apt this is for today . Guess its evergreen

Smokey looks like duff mckagen the bassist with facial hair.

EVERYONE wishes they could sing like him, even HIM haha

If you like November Rain and Civil War then you should listen to Estranged.

Huge fan from.Wisconsin! Y'all must do the song "COMA" from Use Your Illusion I - challenge me and the GNR fans that it won't take the top spot! 😁

❤❤❤

You guys have to listen to Estranged

Talking about how guns and roses are opposites, it came from the original band Hollywood Roses, which was Axel and Tracii Guns (of L.A. Guns). Turned into G’n’R, and Tracii left and formed LA Guns. 👍

Breakdown is my favorite GnR song followed by Civil War.

My top three would be, Mr Brownstone, Rocket Queen and Civil War.

It's ok, man! I love Chinese Democracy too! It's a fantastic album and completely underrated

GNR is a hard rock band.

Brosnan you gotta hear falling in reverse new song with Alex terrible and tech absolutely beast

Get in the Ring or Coma from Guns n Roses you should check out!

#1 You could be mine, #2 Night Train #3 Paradise City.

Top 3 GnR: 1. Don't Cry 2. Sweet Child O' Mine 3. Patience

GREAT reaction guys!! This is my top GnR song - has been since this came out!! Seriously Hollywood, if you think Chinese Democracy is their best, then you really haven't listened enough to Appetite For Destruction, Lies & Use Your Illusion 1 & 2...it's not a horrible album, but it's really not GnR - it's Axl with a supporting band. This song has everything that made them great! And yes, always loved the closing line - one of the ultimate oxymorons - there is NOTHING civil about war! Noticed you haven't done Estranged, Night Train, Don't Cry, Mr. Brownstone, Rocket Queen yet! Get on it! Cheers!
