I don’t know about you guys, but I still get goose bumps every time I watch Slash climb on top of Axl’s piano and deliver the most spine tingling, face melting outro in music history.
I agree. I give him his loving due, but Eddie appeared less-drugs and more a mechanic inventing a new way of travel than Slash. Perhaps if no heart damage and O.D.'s, he would give EVH a run for his money. Such is life and bands drugging and splitting.
The “best” usually aren’t the most technical IMO. Page, Dime, SRV, Gilmore, Beck, Clapton, Hendrix, Slash knew how to wring pure emotion from their instruments. Math metal shreds can get real boring real quick.
@@aenima1 I agree except for the math metal. I think it’s awesome, especially live. Everything can get boring in excess. I’ll tell you this I’ve been to hundreds of shows/ concerts and the most fun for me is rock to metal. Have you ever been to a rap concert? That’s the worst, with 20 dudes dancing around on stage all with mics yelling Yo on every bar. Now that’s boring not to mention synthetic music ( unless they use a live band like the roots). I love seeing how those metal drummers can rip. Plus you get to see groups of dudes almost fighting in the mosh pit. I grew out of the screaming stuff, so now I listen to instrumentals.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and slash is one of the greatest guitarists in rock history. Still get emotional and goosebumps every time I hear it. Great reaction as always.🔥🔥
The song is based on a short story about a rock star grieving over the death of his girlfriend or wife who committed suicide.. the short story was called Without You . And the original version was about 25 minutes long x
I can relate so much to this song. Lost my wife of 23 years Dec. 5th three years ago. Being a recovering alcoholic and drug addict and my wife making sure I stayed clean and sober my world came crashing down. But stayed clean cause I made a promise to her to never go back to that life. It has been a hard almost three years and still wake at night sometimes looking for her to be there to be reminded she will never be there again
So glad you you opened up the G~N~R rabbit hole, they were huge during my high school years...one of those bands that transcended all cultures bc they were so good. Their music videos on MTV were very cinematic, almost like a mini movie. The guitarist you were admiring is Slash.🎸
when I met my future wife I was quite a fan of Guns n Roses and especially of the talent of Slash I introduced this song to my wife who became her favorite song a year before our wedding I practiced (in secret) practically every day on the guitar on this song, when my father-in-law and my wife wanted to dance the first dance at the wedding I surprise everyone to play November Rain (luckily I don't sing), it's one of the rare times I saw my wife cry with joy, except during the births of our children. November Rain is not just a masterclass but also unforgettable memories for my wife and I.
This is the second song in the "Trilogy" by GnR, proper viewing order is "Don't Cry", "November Rain" and "Estranged", all three songs are great... (not that there are many bad GnR songs, if any)
This song (along with other GNR songs "Don't Cry" and "Estranged") were allegedly inspired by a short story called "Without You" by Del James, although I read that story and only see the faintest resemblance. More generally, I feel the song is about how every beginning contains an ending. When you have a wedding, no matter how young you are, you are having a funeral at the same time, because one day you WILL be parted (whether by a literal funeral when one of you dies, or just because the relationship ends). My wife and I started seeing each other around the time this song was released, and I remember thinking about that at the time and being depressed that it would inevitably end that way. We're still together and married almost thirty years. But we won't always be. Nothing lasts forever, not even cold November rain.
“Patience” “don’t cry” and “sweet child o mine” are just a few really good one you should check out. Thanks for helping me get through the mess that has been 2020 and getting my mind off all the stressful stuff.
It's a crazy place, this world. Axel and his friends bared their souls over the death of a girl. Having been there and buried the love of my life I get it and hurt big time. Thanks for sharing your fresh take on the song.
I watched Guns n Roses in 1992 live. They cancelled their first gig. Then was two hours late for their rearranged gig as they was shopping in Paris wtf haha ! Anyways, they sang this ... slash was amazing ! Making memories !
To this day i believe this is the greatest rock song of all time. A true master piece. I was 10 yrs old when this song came out. And im 40 now. I still listen to it .
Maruzo I saw them in concert in the late 80's was awesome but I will never forget when Axl's long sleeved orange mesh shirt got caught in the mic stand and you could see him yanking on it was hilarious they took a intermission afterwards and when they came back he had a different shirt on also a fun fact the singer Fergie named her son Axl after him
The first time I saw this video was as a child. My brother lived for GNRS and I idolized him. I had a strange attraction to Slash even as a young girl. This video is epic! They don't make music videos like this any more.
I know your super backed up, but you should react to “one” by Metallica. The song is about a man that goes off to war and gets blown up by a land mine and he can’t walk,talk,speak,hear or see. All he can do is think. He doesn’t know what time is or anything. It’s a great song. Probably one of the best metal songs of all time. Like you should put it on the list definitely. Love your reactions btw!
It's one thing to listen to music. It's completely different when you truly feel and experience the music. Jayy your reactions are so genuine. You're the real one ❤What a blessed journey you are partaking.
This song, and video, never fails to affect me. Jayy, you have to react to "Still Loving You" by the Scorpions. The lead singer's voice will blow you away.
"The guitar player was sexy, had to say that." Girl it's okay! I'm 22 and I grew up with this music and loving this era of music because of my parents. Slash has literally been one of the loves of my life since I was two years old. Lol. Loved your reaction. You really paid close attention to the song and story. ❤
Considered one of the best music videos of all time originally meant to be over 20 minutes long but trimmed back to under 9 minutes. Slash is up there with the likes of Hendrix, Clapton & more as the greatest guitarists ever. Guns n roses cover of Sympathy For The Devil by the Rolling Stones is a masterpiece.
To me this song and video is a metaphor for the beginning and the ending of a love between two people. The wedding and happy times in the sunshine represented the early stages of being in love and how great that makes you feel. Then since the lyrics say “ nothing last forever, even a cold November Rain “ ... the darkening skies and falling rain that started during those happy times , followed by her death and funeral, then represents the falling out of love by at least one of the two , and then the death of that love as he now has to live with the pain of his lost love and try to go on alone. It’s a perfect metaphor for my once great love story and then sad ending of my love and marriage at least. Music can have different meanings to everyone
Slash has to be one of my favorite guitarists. His solo in Estranged has to be my favorite. Axl just had one of those voices. I’ve never heard anyone compare to him.🥰
On one hand I find it nearly impossible that you hear all these songs for the first time ever. I can't even fathom it. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE WITH SO MANY CLASSIC SONGS? :D On the other hand I envy you for being able to listen to them for the first time.
This song is metaphorical for trying to hold on to unrequited love , she didnt feel the same anymore and he is trying to hold on to her and trying to change her mind she has been hurt disappointed before and she is scare its going to happen again so she is holding back / he obviously loves her and would do anything to salvage the relationship though he knows he already lost her ! I hope this helps 🙏🏼 ,
Also this song is part of a trilogy (mini story ) its starts with Dont cry, November rain and estranged , maybe that would give you more insight to the story , very deep .
I could be wrong but there’s a mirror in the coffin and think that’s to do with head trauma. The mirror is there to reflect the good side of the head so it looks like a whole face for an open coffin. I’m sure somebody could explain it better
That was done for dramatic effect, because in real life, most morticians could do a restoration of the decedent’s features to where a mirror in the casket(not coffin, there’s a difference. Look them both up. Casket vs. coffin, that is) would not be necessary.
This was part of a 3 video series cause the original song was like 25 mins so it was broken into 3 songs don't cry then November rain then estranged. Love the channel keep up the great work
Iconic...there was sooooooo many LPs at this time for thos song.. 12 inch ones too... took up entirely by this epic song.... i have one thats worth like 200 quid.. amazing song..and the lps are amazing
Don't try to understand, recognize... Just listen, and cry if you feel so... I'm so called, a "straight, tuff guy". But everytime I'm listening to this song home alone, I get tears in my eyes... That's ok!!!
I don’t know about you guys, but I still get goose bumps every time I watch Slash climb on top of Axl’s piano and deliver the most spine tingling, face melting outro in music history.
It’s a shame most people do their reaction watching the music video. Their focus is always on the story of the music video, than the actual solo
Me, too. :O
Amazing Solo
Agree dude give the director a goddamn oscar pls
Me too
This girl listens TO EVERY WORD! Love her concentration on the lyrics while at the same time enjoying the jam.
She's such an empath, I almost feel sorry for her having to be tortured by these songs.
Yes!!✨
So true!! I love her reactions.
Most reaction channels are horrible because they need to be a bit more like her!
He was also a racist..
@@deeflo6731meaningless term....song rocks
The best solo Slash has ever done. Tone and feel gives me chills every time.
It's a great solo alright, but Slash's solo in Sweet Child o' Mine is his greatest and most iconic imo 👌
SAMEEEE!!!!.
Yep same here
i think "estranged" was his best solo
The outro solo kills...
3 amazing guitar solos. Solidifying Slash as one of the top guitarists in rock.
My inspiration to play guitar
Slash wasn’t the most technical guitarist but he was the master at making his guitar sing. One of my favorite guitarist
I agree. I give him his loving due, but Eddie appeared less-drugs and more a mechanic inventing a new way of travel than Slash. Perhaps if no heart damage and O.D.'s, he would give EVH a run for his money. Such is life and bands drugging and splitting.

brain May of Queen one of best to
When you said "this is cute," all I could think was...bumpy ride in 3..2..1..
Always a shock at the end 😥
This was one of my mom's favorite songs and it was played at her funeral. It's a lovely song.
sorry for your loss
may she rest in peace ❤️🙏 I'm sure heaven is a better place
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and slash is one of the greatest guitarists in rock history. Still get emotional and goosebumps every time I hear it. Great reaction as always.🔥🔥

Wow!
lol gotta love Coke era G'N'R
By Del James
www.musicvideomeaning.com/november-rain-gunsnroses-how-did-the-bride-die/
yep gotta love the little details like the mirror in the coffin
Possibly overall the best production ever.. Music, lyrics, video.. Nothing will ever have this trifecta
Profound and deeply moving. Your reaction was too.
❤❤❤
Makes you wonder. Life will throw you a curve ball.🤣
I was 16 when i listened to this song in 1992, now i'm 45 and it still hits me like the first day. A masterpiece 😋
This is hands down the best slash solo of all time. I would listen to this song over and over. It is like a symphony🔥🔥🔥
my heart rejoices when I see people getting to know the classic. I hope this music will not be forgotten. thanks for your great reaction honey 💖
More Guns N’ Roses

Good job
I have heard this song 1000's of times since it came out and i get the same feelings every time. chills
I loved Slash in Sweet Child 'O Mine but I fell in love with him in this video!!!! He's forever in my heart!! ❤🎩❤
I was just 18, graduated HS, and this came out. Sitting here now, as a Grandma, singing every word. TY!
i agree he rocks on that guitar first time i heard that i got chills
“That solo was amazing”
2nd and 3rd solo: hold my drink
Slash is a beast on the guitar....I like this solo best of all.....
So glad you you opened up the G~N~R rabbit hole, they were huge during my high school years...one of those bands that transcended all cultures bc they were so good. Their music videos on MTV were very cinematic, almost like a mini movie. The guitarist you were admiring is Slash.🎸
Axel's vocals back in the day were insanely good 👍
8 octave range
when I met my future wife
I was quite a fan of Guns n Roses and especially of the talent of Slash
I introduced this song to my wife who became her favorite song
a year before our wedding I practiced (in secret) practically every day on the guitar on this song,
when my father-in-law and my wife wanted to dance the first dance at the wedding I surprise everyone to play November Rain (luckily I don't sing),
it's one of the rare times I saw my wife cry with joy, except during the births of our children.
November Rain is not just a masterclass but also unforgettable memories for my wife and I.
Slash's rift towards the end is one of the best ever in Rock. It had this medieval sound, he shredded the shit out of that Gibson Les Paul!
This is absolutely one of my favourite solos from Slash. Love from Sweden ❤❤❤
I loved playing this track at the drums when I was a young boy on the early 90s. Such a powerful ballad
epic song, epic reaction.
This is the second song in the "Trilogy" by GnR, proper viewing order is "Don't Cry", "November Rain" and "Estranged", all three songs are great... (not that there are many bad GnR songs, if any)

One of THE best guitar solos ever!!
He is making the guitar cry so much emotion
I love how at the end we get a primal scream from both Axl & Slash's guitar!
I hadn't seen this video in such a long time, it still brought tears to my eyes😥
The outro to this song is the GOAT! Slash is legendary. Just the way the song changes, with those strings.... my heart races! STUNNING
Great song. Video is intense. Great reaction jayy.
So this is part of a trilogy of videos. Don’t Cry and Estranged are the others
Guns n Roses, damn they were a huge impact in our teen lives in the 90's ❤
Absolutely top 10 best guitarists ever (Slash)
And i personally think he's top 5..
It's a crazy place, this world. Axel and his friends bared their souls over the death of a girl. Having been there and buried the love of my life I get it and hurt big time. Thanks for sharing your fresh take on the song.

Very emotional, empathic reaction, but also very well interpreted. Love so much what you do and especially HOW you do it.
Guns n roses. Are. One. Of my favorite. Classic 80s. Bands
Jay honey I love how you feel the songs you react to. You are a special soul. Unafraid to show your emotions. It's quite endearing. Love your channel.
To this day i believe this is the greatest rock song of all time. A true master piece. I was 10 yrs old when this song came out. And im 40 now. I still listen to it .
My favorite band from all time! I loved your reaction ❤
I saw the band live in the 90´s. slash the guitar player was amazing 🤘 🙂

Beautiful Stephanie Seymour!
What a Beautiful and Sad Song
Dont forget " Nothing lasts forever even cold November rain". Those words to me says no matter how bad things get in life it doesn't last forever.
One of the best reactions I've seen yet. Thank you.
This song, and video, never fails to affect me. Jayy, you have to react to "Still Loving You" by the Scorpions. The lead singer's voice will blow you away.
Yes 🙌
"I know that you can't love me, when there's noone left to blame"
The most beautiful song ever!
The best ever scene in a video clip:Slash playing november rain solo alone in front of the church...👌🙏
This one is a great song
I LOVE NOVEMBER RAIN BY GUNS AND ROSES! The best!
The song is part of Trilogy ✌️ listen the other 2
I don't know how I never discovered that after all this time, but would you mind sharing what the other two are?
@@Nickster316 the order is 👉 “Don’t Cry,” “November Rain,” and “Estranged”
Yes, all three should be viewed/listened to together!
@@delenasalvatore1778 I never knew. Thank you
@@erintrites1108 I just did....what a difference. You fall into the story more, right.
For more GNR goodness please try "Patience". This is a classic song and your reaction is great too.
Slash on guitar... Goosebumps and Tears!!
One of the best rock ballads ever, and one of the best music videos made at that time....maybe in time
Awesome song been a favorite since I was young.
"The guitar player was sexy, had to say that." Girl it's okay! I'm 22 and I grew up with this music and loving this era of music because of my parents.

The best song ever!!!! I love all by GNR. I so wanted this wedding dress 😆
Glad to welcom to the world of great gesture,music and emotions ...ROCK ON girl!

I could be wrong but there’s a mirror in the coffin and think that’s to do with head trauma. The mirror is there to reflect the good side of the head so it looks like a whole face for an open coffin. I’m sure somebody could explain it better
You’re absolutely on point
That was done for dramatic effect, because in real life, most morticians could do a restoration of the decedent’s features to where a mirror in the casket(not coffin, there’s a difference. Look them both up. Casket vs. coffin, that is) would not be necessary.
@@Calinicus72 That’s a better explanation than I could give but be a bit more polite the next time. I feel like a scolded child lol
@@Calinicus72 That's assuming there was a half a head over there to restore. I think closed casket, though would be the play in that case, though.
It's because she killed herself by a shot in the head. Watch all 3 video's
For some perspective, check out LA Guns and Hollywood Rose. The two bands that were the precursors to Guns n Roses.
LA Guns rocks!!!
Guns and roses are timeless band so good in what evert they do
This was part of a 3 video series cause the original song was like 25 mins so it was broken into 3 songs don't cry then November rain then estranged. Love the channel keep up the great work
Iconic...there was sooooooo many LPs at this time for thos song.. 12 inch ones too... took up entirely by this epic song.... i have one thats worth like 200 quid.. amazing song..and the lps are amazing
This is best rock balad ever.
And Slash sólo,Omg,Slash solo
Don't try to understand, recognize...
Just listen, and cry if you feel so...
I'm so called, a "straight, tuff guy".
But everytime I'm listening to this song home alone, I get tears in my eyes...
That's ok!!!
Defination of an Epic Ballad. A Magnum Opus.
Your beautiful. And awesome to watch ❤️and share your emotions with us
I love watching your reactions.
The greatest Rock Ballad ever written. Untouched Solos by Slash.
I love to see reactions and I really love your reactions to this old music 🎶....this is the kind of music I listen too. Glad you appreciate it.
Slash is one of the greatest Guitarists of our time he’s definitely the best African American guitarist next to Jimmy Hendrix
Better than the 3 Kings, Robert Cray, and a lot of others no way not close. And I like Slash.
... That was born in England
Yes he is half black, I forgot about that!!
@@eldeano9964 And raised in Cali! He's great!! Love him!!
Perfect reaction to a classic song and situation.
SLASH STILL IS SEXY. HIS GUITAR MAKES THE BAND!!!
