To see a guitar God watch Shawn Lane his uncut cover of Jimi Hendrix "Purple Haze" is out of this world. No insult to Slash or any of the other guitarist Shawn has a much smaller audience and is relatively unknown to the masses but he is phenomenal and unfortunately he passed away far to early in life RIP Shawn.
Hey, a sponsor is a sponsor, right. Since you prefer musical theater, try a song from the Wall album by Pink Floyd. Song is at end of the album called "the Trial". Very theatric song.😊🎉❤
The fact that she refers to Slash as " that guitarget " leaves no doubt that her focus has been on a totally different musical genre. This makes for an even more entertaining video.
Diane likes the “guitar guy”, also known as Slash And she digs the drummer, who fills with boom-boom-bash Sappy rock-n-roll ballads are Diane’s jam So she plays the air drums on today’s program
Nicely done on the poem, I really must say, I couldn't have said it any other way. Just like a song, the words rhyme perfectly, But in this case, they don't.
When I was a teenager I listened to 'Use our Illusion' I and II so many times that to this day I still have every single Slash solo on those albums committed to memory.
November Rain always felt like their attempt to pay homage to Bohemian Rhapsody. Just a massive rock opera. It works. The video didn't hurt. In the hey day of Mtv, it was like watching a mini movie every time it came on.
I forgot about the Riki Rachtman cameo in this. He's the guest who leans forward a bit and smiles during the cake cutting. At the time this video was made, Riki was the host of Headbanger's Ball on MTV, a Saturday night block of programming focused on hard rock and heavy metal.
This song was a great one for you to start with for GNR, as it was more theatrical. Very good reaction. I'm glad you liked it! And kudos on getting sponsored by Manscaped. Your dad did a great job. Guitarist is Slash. It's fun to be a part of your musical journey.
I believe this album was GNR telling the new guys on the block at the time ( Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and so forth) that they can still rock and sell albums.
The day after my wife’s funeral would have been our anniversary. The videos for this song and “don’t cry“ we’re all over the place, within days of that.
This song is part of a trio of songs based on the Del James short story "Without You." The other two are "Don't Cry" and "Estranged." Highly recommend you react to those also. This is a masterpiece song and video. Iirc, the most expensive video produced at the time of its release. Has stood the test of time. Well done young lady!
Lyrics:.🤗🤗 When I look into your eyes I can see a love-restrained But darling when I hold you Don't you know I feel the same, yeah Nothing lasts forever And we both know hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain We've been through this such a long long time Just trying to kill the pain, Ooh yeah But lovers always come and lovers always go And no one's really sure who's letting go today Walking away If we could take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head Just knowing that you were mine All mine So if you want to love me then darling don't refrain Or I'll just end up walking In the cold November rain Do you need some time...on your own Do you need some time...all alone Ooh, Everybody needs some time...on their own Ooh, Don't you know you need some time...all alone I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you Sometimes I need some time...on my own Sometimes I need some time...all alone Ooh, Everybody needs some time...on their own Ooh, Don't you know you need some time...all alone And when your fears subside And shadows still remain, Oh yeah I know that you can love me When there's no one left to blame So never mind the darkness We still can find a way Nothing lasts forever Even cold November rain You're not the only one You're not the only one Don't ya think that you need somebody Don't ya think that you need someone Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one You're not the only one
Slash's guitar riffs and Axle's vocals are so iconic. My high school installed a jute box in the cafeteria and during lunch it was either guns n roses or George strait. It all depended on which group of kids had the most quarters. Thanks for another great reaction video.
At 1 time, the only original member of the band was Axel rose, the rest of them had left due to drug use and arguments in the band.Slash was out of the band from 96 until 2016. The band came back together for there We're F"N back to tour❤
The bride is played by a supermodel of the time, Stephanie Seymour. And yeah, we were pretty lucky that Axl was able to sing for as long as he could, 'cause he has iconic vocals - as iconic as Slash's guitar. I really enjoyed how he changes it for the two halves of Don't Cry. Really makes the song hit hard.
she was actually his girlfriend at the time and they were actually engaged but broke up before getting married, she was also in their "don't cry" video
'Appetite for Destruction' is one of the all-time best selling albums because it hit hard at a time when the Glam Rock was fading and Grunge was setting in. Techno fizzled, Metal was still niche, and Huey Lewis was doing whatever Huey Lewis does in his spare time. GNR really kept Rock alive in that transition period and it was a rare day when MTV didn't play one of their vids. Def Leppard held on as well and is worth a listen. Both the Pyromania and Hysteria albums were fantastic, with the latter being probably their best in terms of style and sound. Very well designed and a great one to play in the background for a lot of things.
First off, let me just say that I love that she’s being exposed to this masterpiece… But can you imagine hearing this back in the day for your first song, when they’ve been hyped up by all your buddies who’d heard Welcome to the Jungle??? lmfao 🤣
Such an awesome song for you to get a GNR intro. I was in college when this thing came out. It was wild. And Slash (the guitar guy) is one of the greats.
This song is part of a trilogy, you really sould check-out the other two ones, they are called Don't Cry and Estranged... Congratulations for your channel and saluts from Brazil...
A couple things about the song/video I find intriguing. The first part of the song talks about the need to be alone and after the drop into the second part it's about needing someone and not being alone. The video part with the church is cool, exterior shots show it to he tiny but once inside its gigantic. Slash walks out to do his lead and it's small again.
Loads of fantastic songs on the Use Your Illusion albums (including this song), but _Appetite for Destruction_ is a perfect album. Not a single weak song in the lot, every one is a banger. An impressive feat! A few years later we got Alice in Chains's _Dirt_ and Faith No More's _Angel Dust_ in the same category. I really *really* wonder what Diane would make of any FNM song from _Angel Dust._
I never even thought about there being a FIRST TIME hearing them.. but mine was at 15 at Wendy's when we were cleaning after closing the restaurant for the night.
GNR definitely broke the mold with this song. This song will forever have a spot on any "best songs ever made" list until the sun fizzles out. Fun Fact: This is the first music video older than UA-cam to hit a billion views
Axel rose suffered pretty bad during the music video shoot as he was drenched with artificial rain. He caught a cold which pulled him off tour for three weeks. It was pretty nasty and the band never did something like that again or at least they stipulated in their contract to have some sort of shelter next time they do a music video.
Axl helped the drummer Matt Sorum come up with this drum fill. It’s the same one repeated 24 times throughout the song. I want to say the inspiration for doing that was an Elton John. Just can’t remember which one
7:30 That guitar guy is Slash. He always gets his moments, and he also had success later, with other bands, including Velvet Revolver. And, he famously entered...and lost...a contest for the best Stash look-alike...lol
I'm american and heard this song a million times. To save time I watch YT videos on 2x speed. This song is much better at that speed!!! Actually been listening to all my 80s and 90s classics at 2x speed and they all become banger dance tracks no matter what the track.
When this video came out the bride’s dress was all the rage. I hadn’t ever seen a short high/low wedding dress before and I thought it was the coolest lol
Only the song as an mp3 is great but very regular. BUT together with the videoclip it is an absolutely masterpiece. You can't keep it seperate from eachother.
Ugh I was supposed to see them for my first time here in St. Louis this month but they postponed, then cancelled last week. Love this song! I hope they're back here soon.
I love "Locomotive," "Breakdown," "Pretty Tied up." as well. Mostly "Use your Illusion two" entire album. Locomotive is my favorite song by them. Unless you count the Live version of "Move to the City."
THANK YOU! At least someone kinda said it! Honestly this is one of GNRs WORST songs... 6 minutes of the same 3 notes and the same 2 line lyric scheme. 🤦♂️
Slash is back in the band... After many decades, they finally buried the hatchet and launched the Not in this Lifetime Motherf*!?(r tour ... saw that show in Orlando! It was a long overdue reunion. Axl AND Slash are the heart of the band.
Thanks for this reaction. I like your response to the theatricality. Guns n' Roses had a "bad boy" reputation. They were once called "the most dangerous band in the world." You couldn't tell from this video, though. They may have been wild and crazy, but they had their romantic side, too. Other songs about rain that you haven't reacted to: Who'll Stop the Rain - CCR Rhythm of the Rain - The Cascades Here Comes the Rain Again - Eurythmics Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head - B.J. Thomas I Can't Stand the Rain - Ann Peebles I Wish It Would Rain - The Temptations Fire and Rain - James Taylor I Love a Rainy Night - Eddie Rabbit Rainy Night in Georgia - Brook Benton Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) - Melanie with the Edwin Hawkins Singers A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Bob Dylan It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls Crying in the Rain - The Everly Brothers Songs with orchestras: A Day in the Life - The Beatles Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles (actually a double string quartet, not a full orchestra) Nights in White Satin - The Moody Blues Tuesday Afternoon - The Moody Blues Livin' Thing - Electric Light Orchestra (or just about anything else by this band) Georgia on My Mind - Ray Charles At Last - Etta James
@@DianeJennings Add ..late lament ... to Nights In white satin to get the poem at the end. You will find it listed that way ---->The Moody Blues: Nights In White Satin - Late Lament. ... This is the way it was played on the radio. As my moniker suggests . I go back that far and I will 2nd everyone of them.
@@DianeJennings I would like to add that James Taylor wrote Fire and Rain. while in an institution. He was a heroin addict. It is about that but also before he went into the institution he had been overseas and nobody would tell for months of the death of his childhood friend by suicide. The opening lyrics ---> "Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to"
@@DianeJennings An other trivia note : When Carol King heard in the lyrics of Fire and Rain ---->"I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again" Carol wrote a song called ... Carole King - You've Got a Friend
From the band that is in this clip, Nowadays Axl Rose is on vocals because he is the owner of the band, the guitarist returned to the band in 2016, the bassist returned in 2013 and the keyboardist never left the band
You slept on Guns 'N' Roses (GNR)!! Axl Rose was a professionally trained opera singer & grew up singing in Boys Choir at church. Pretty interesting, huh? 😀
Glad to see you reacting to another classic, Diane. There were actually multiple versions of this video if memory serves me. I remember one where She caught him cheating on her and left him instead of the ending here where she died. Axl was actually involved with the daughter of one of the Everly Brothers (a brother's classic rock duo). I remember seeing her and him on an interview segment in their home on one of the gossip shows right before this song released. In the interview Axl actually mentioned that his real name was Bill Bailey Jr not William Bruce Rose Jr. I remember due to my late mom being a fan of the song "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey" by either the Andrews Sisters or the MacGuire Sisters (I can't remember which at the moment). Wikipedia tends to get things wrong a lot unfortunately.
This song for me heard it on the radio for the first time was the song that elevated slash has a great guitarist for me all my guitar Heroes come out of the late '60s and mid-70s and I never held Guns and Roses up as more than an average band until this song and slash really shined in his technique enjoy it
GNR performed in my city about 31 years ago, and when this piece of art started, a drizzle began to fall and the most epic part of this song was being sung... that is an indelible memory for those of us who were there that night of November 27th
I grew up on GNR. Obvious favorite is sweet child of mine, but Estranged is another great one not as well known. In an interview slash claimed estranged was one of the hardest guitar pieces he ever played
Hi Diane! I don't listen to Guns & Roses much these days, because they really got played out in the late 80s/Early 90s. And their lead singer was a big Chad for a long time, but I think he's gotten better these days. Have a great weekend!
Guns ruled the world dor 7 years ended big hair metal one of the best. FYI this is part two of a Trilogy Paet 1- Don't cry 2- November Rain 3- Estranged All 3 are top-notch Id suggest watching the others
The drummer is Matt Sorum, who also played with The Cult just before joining GNR. Lookup The Cult, which are on tour now and will be in Ireland soon I believe
I saw this band live in Paris as part of the world tour of Use Your Illusions LPs and got a tatt of guns n roses with slash,s hat ect and a T-Shirt which my wife stopped me wearing in public , Axl wore it at the concert it said " No one knows im a lesbian" black on white lol
Las, this was the beginning of the end of GNR. Appetite for DESTRUCTION was their debut, - hard, raw, uncensored, it was hard rock. Next thing you know Axl went into psycho therapy and they went to crap, imho. The edge was gone, the anger was gone, and they went soft. Axl was molested as a child - hence the anger, the raw, unapologetic, in your face, charisma, and when Slash agreed to play with Michael Jackson...? It was too much for Axl and he told Slash so. Axl saw how far they had sold out to the dark side. Nope. After Appetite all you had left was waterd down fans.
Slash, the guitarist, is still with the band since they reformed with many of the original members! Duff McKagan is the Blonde haired guitarist too and he is also back in the lineup! ❤️🔥
Greetings Diane Yes, that is Axel Rose. His style of voice can be called 'raspy'. The 'Guy with the hat' is Saul Hudson, known as Slash. He is biracial, British and Black. Slash become synonymous with the Top Hat since stealing one before a show in 1985. He has been part of 8 bands, including G'nR. This song can be referred to as a power ballad. The house where that wedding reception occurs is the SAME (famous) house (mansion) used in the "Godfather" films, if I am not mistaken. The cemetery where the 'bride' is buried is has also been used in several films and tv shows. The video has a disconnect / inconsistency in that Slash - 'the guitar guy- exits the church /chapel and he is out in the middle of nowhere outside a small church and gets to do his amazing guitar solo. Axel and 'the bride' exit the same place and they find themselves in front of St. Bredan Catholic Church in Los Angeles with people and a car ready to take them away. The "bride' is famous supermodel Stephanie Seymour. She was his then gf around 1992 when the video was shot. The church in the guitar solo was specially build there for the video (somewhere in New Mexico; probably just outside of Taos, NM) because it was filmed around wintertime and there were no 'good looking fields" in California as it was first envisioned. The stage where the band performs most of the song is the Orpheum Theater also in Los Angeles.

Music too low!
When I saw you were being sponsored by Manscaped I wondered how you would present the information, and how your father would be involved in its presentation. This is a family channel, so I shouldn't have been worried.
To see a guitar God watch Shawn Lane his uncut cover of Jimi Hendrix "Purple Haze" is out of this world. No insult to Slash or any of the other guitarist Shawn has a much smaller audience and is relatively unknown to the masses but he is phenomenal and unfortunately he passed away far to early in life RIP Shawn.
Hey, a sponsor is a sponsor, right. Since you prefer musical theater, try a song from the Wall album by Pink Floyd. Song is at end of the album called "the Trial". Very theatric song.😊🎉❤
Hearing Slash described as "that guitar guy" has me rolling!
that was fabulous lmao
I think Slash outside the church is arguably the most iconic guitar solo of all time, and also arguably only his second best guitar solo in this song.
Comfortably numb at pulse
Also, Slashes solo in the music video means he’s protesting the wedding.
Arguably is right.
I should be since this was the most expensive video at the time and part of the large budget was flying that church out to the desert for those shots.
@@robertpetre9378 or Sultans of Swing at Alchemy. Knopfler and Gilmour are waaaay better than Slash.
I honestly don't know how it's possible to never have heard a GNR song.
I dont know you must have been in under rock
Maybe she was Amish
The fact that she refers to Slash as " that guitarget " leaves no doubt that her focus has been on a totally different musical genre.
This makes for an even more entertaining video.
esp growing up in the 90's
This is just to make the video flashy
Diane likes the “guitar guy”, also known as Slash
And she digs the drummer, who fills with boom-boom-bash
Sappy rock-n-roll ballads are Diane’s jam
So she plays the air drums on today’s program
Yay 😁
... and a little air guitar, who woulda thunk it.
Who doesn't love cheesy rock-n-roll ballads?
Nicely done on the poem, I really must say,
I couldn't have said it any other way.
Just like a song, the words rhyme perfectly,
But in this case, they don't.
I you really like drums you need to check out War Pigs by Black Sabbath. Bill Ward is the drum god
When I was a teenager I listened to 'Use our Illusion' I and II so many times that to this day I still have every single Slash solo on those albums committed to memory.
November Rain always felt like their attempt to pay homage to Bohemian Rhapsody. Just a massive rock opera. It works. The video didn't hurt. In the hey day of Mtv, it was like watching a mini movie every time it came on.
You think?! I definitely liked the vid
Anytime you can add Stephanie Seymour in your video....its gonna be great.
I forgot about the Riki Rachtman cameo in this. He's the guest who leans forward a bit and smiles during the cake cutting. At the time this video was made, Riki was the host of Headbanger's Ball on MTV, a Saturday night block of programming focused on hard rock and heavy metal.
I called him Riki Rachetjaw... he like to talk... LOL I believe he was good friends with Axl.
The last section of the song, from about where Slash climbs up onto the piano, gives me chills every time.
Phenomenal song from a fantastic band, the first video to reach 2 billion views on UA-cam, and no wonder.
This song was a great one for you to start with for GNR, as it was more theatrical. Very good reaction. I'm glad you liked it! And kudos on getting sponsored by Manscaped. Your dad did a great job. Guitarist is Slash. It's fun to be a part of your musical journey.
I’m so glad!
I think "Sweet Child Of Mine", is their best song. But each their own.
@@DianeJennings have you ever heard of ytcracker out of the genre nerdrap?
I believe this album was GNR telling the new guys on the block at the time ( Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and so forth) that they can still rock and sell albums.
I liked how she said she liked Slash's iconic hat.
The day after my wife’s funeral would have been our anniversary. The videos for this song and “don’t cry“ we’re all over the place, within days of that.
My kids, now 18 and 13 were raised on 80's and 90's hard rock. Every parent should be obligated to share this magical music era with the kids.
First time I’ve heard Slash being called MR Guitar Guy
This song is part of a trio of songs based on the Del James short story "Without You." The other two are "Don't Cry" and "Estranged." Highly recommend you react to those also. This is a masterpiece song and video. Iirc, the most expensive video produced at the time of its release. Has stood the test of time. Well done young lady!
Lyrics:.🤗🤗
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love-restrained
But darling when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same, yeah
Nothing lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just trying to kill the pain, Ooh yeah
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's letting go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowing that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darling don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walking
In the cold November rain
Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Ooh, Everybody needs some time...on their own
Ooh, Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time...on my own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Ooh, Everybody needs some time...on their own
Ooh, Don't you know you need some time...all alone
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, Oh yeah
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
Nothing lasts forever
Even cold November rain
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Another video trilogy you need to watch: “Don't Cry,” “November Rain,” and “Estranged.” by G'n'R
Movie Trivia, The GNR song you could be mine was used in the movie Terminator 2. the music video is really good and has the cast of the movie on it.
The song is about unrequited love according to Axl. I always thought the wedding and the funeral was a metaphor for this.
Guns N Roses is a all time Favorite rock band. All the Albums from the late 80s early 90s has alot of good Jams and music videos. 🎵🎸🎹
This is my favorite Guns N' Roses song. Thank you for listening and reacting to it.
Slash's guitar riffs and Axle's vocals are so iconic. My high school installed a jute box in the cafeteria and during lunch it was either guns n roses or George strait. It all depended on which group of kids had the most quarters. Thanks for another great reaction video.
songs like a money maker for the school
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
@@DianeJennings 😎🤘🎸very good guns n roses 😎 i from chile and you 😍😍beautifull
Juke. Jute is rope.
When this band came out it was a monster. Unfortunately for the fans it fell to pieces. I would love to see all original members in concert again
Guns N Roses Best albums are Appetite for Destruction, Use Your Illusion 1 and Use You Illusion 2 so many good jams on those albums. 🎵🎤🎸🎹
Slash is a classically trained musician and often stated to the worlds best guitarist.
This song came out my first year of high school in 1991. By the time I graduated in 2002 Axl and the boys had their best days well behind them.
Our mom and my brothers and I would often jam out to this and many other great rock songs. I miss those moments....
At 1 time, the only original member of the band was Axel rose, the rest of them had left due to drug use and arguments in the band.Slash was out of the band from 96 until 2016. The band came back together for there We're F"N back to tour❤

She's air drumming perfectly to the drums. She's heard it before.
I love seeing people react to songs from my childhood. Great reaction
This song is part of a trilogy, you really sould check-out the other two ones, they are called Don't Cry and Estranged...
Congratulations for your channel and saluts from Brazil...

I just pictured Chewie wearing the half-mask singing "music is the gift I give to you" and it made me smile.

LOVE your reviews Diane !!
3:35 every time I revisit this band, I’m surprised at how down to earth they seem
Loads of fantastic songs on the Use Your Illusion albums (including this song), but _Appetite for Destruction_ is a perfect album. Not a single weak song in the lot, every one is a banger. An impressive feat! A few years later we got Alice in Chains's _Dirt_ and Faith No More's _Angel Dust_ in the same category. I really *really* wonder what Diane would make of any FNM song from _Angel Dust._
Yep .. I know all the lyrics to all the songs off of Appetite... Can't say the same for the other albums.
Thanks Diane! Always liked this song, although the video is VERY sad. Let your dad know that he did an awesome job! Take care.
I will thank you!
Im a retired warfighter and i love you! rock on woman!!!!
All time Masterpiece...
I never even thought about there being a FIRST TIME hearing them.. but mine was at 15 at Wendy's when we were cleaning after closing the restaurant for the night.

No way!!!

It was pretty nasty and the band never did something like that again or at least they stipulated in their contract to have some sort of shelter next time they do a music video.
You have to watch guns n roses - sweet child of mine song when this band debuted
This is legit one of the best songs ever. So glad you reacted to it and the fact that it was your first experience with G-N-R
Appetite For Destruction caught the band at its rawest. It's my third favorite album of all time. Go for it.
Axl helped the drummer Matt Sorum come up with this drum fill. It’s the same one repeated 24 times throughout the song. I want to say the inspiration for doing that was an Elton John. Just can’t remember which one
7:30 That guitar guy is Slash. He always gets his moments, and he also had success later, with other bands, including Velvet Revolver.

When this video came out the bride’s dress was all the rage. I hadn’t ever seen a short high/low wedding dress before and I thought it was the coolest lol
If you get around to it, a good modern rock song that is next level is "Carousel" by Liliac
Only the song as an mp3 is great but very regular. BUT together with the videoclip it is an absolutely masterpiece. You can't keep it seperate from eachother.
Ugh I was supposed to see them for my first time here in St. Louis this month but they postponed, then cancelled last week. Love this song! I hope they're back here soon.
November rain isn't bad, but I have other favorites. "You could be mine" "sweet child o' mine" "welcome to the jungle"
I love "Locomotive," "Breakdown," "Pretty Tied up." as well. Mostly "Use your Illusion two" entire album. Locomotive is my favorite song by them. Unless you count the Live version of "Move to the City."
THANK YOU! At least someone kinda said it! Honestly this is one of GNRs WORST songs... 6 minutes of the same 3 notes and the same 2 line lyric scheme. 🤦♂️
Totally agree. Maybe even “Patience” or “Civil War”
@@EventHorizonPrdctns I love this song!, probably one of my favorite ever. yes this is just opinion
Isn’t bad…😂
That video was recorded before drones, so they probably used a helicopter for some of the shots during Slash's guitar solo in front of that church.
I'm still hoping you'll listen to Bill Burr's helicopter story, the stage version not the animated version btw. :)
the girl is Supermodel Stephanie Seymour...a heart throb of the 80' & 90's
Scrolled for this. She unfortunately made some bad choices in men, including Axl. Supermodel doesn't even to be a thing anymore.
Love Slash's new name "guitar guy" had me laughing
The girl in the video is model Stephanie Seymour, who Axl Rose was dating at the time.
Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Sweet Child o Mine. Those and almost anything from Appetite For Destruction are a must for Guns n Roses fans.
Slash is back in the band... After many decades, they finally buried the hatchet and launched the Not in this Lifetime Motherf*!?(r tour ... saw that show in Orlando! It was a long overdue reunion. Axl AND Slash are the heart of the band.
welcome to the jungle and paradise city are much more indicative of typical GNR fare, love to see you react to those songs when you get a chance....
Thanks for this reaction. I like your response to the theatricality.
Guns n' Roses had a "bad boy" reputation. They were once called "the most dangerous band in the world." You couldn't tell from this video, though. They may have been wild and crazy, but they had their romantic side, too.

What no Blame it on the Rain by Milli Vanilli. Now that would be an interesting reaction.
@@DianeJennings Add ..late lament ... to Nights In white satin to get the poem at the end. You will find it listed that way ---->The Moody Blues: Nights In White Satin - Late Lament. ... This is the way it was played on the radio.
As my moniker suggests . I go back that far and I will 2nd everyone of them.
@@DianeJennings I would like to add that James Taylor wrote Fire and Rain. while in an institution. He was a heroin addict. It is about that but also before he went into the institution he had been overseas and nobody would tell for months of the death of his childhood friend by suicide. The opening lyrics --->
"Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to"
@@DianeJennings An other trivia note : When Carol King heard in the lyrics of Fire and Rain ---->"I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again" Carol wrote a song called ... Carole King - You've Got a Friend
From the band that is in this clip, Nowadays Axl Rose is on vocals because he is the owner of the band, the guitarist returned to the band in 2016, the bassist returned in 2013 and the keyboardist never left the band
I just love that Diane loves Slash❤
You slept on Guns 'N' Roses (GNR)!! Axl Rose was a professionally trained opera singer & grew up singing in Boys Choir at church. Pretty interesting, huh? 😀
Now I want to see reaction video to one in 1 million by Guns N’ Roses
my fav song and a great reaction
Glad to see you reacting to another classic, Diane. There were actually multiple versions of this video if memory serves me. I remember one where She caught him cheating on her and left him instead of the ending here where she died. Axl was actually involved with the daughter of one of the Everly Brothers (a brother's classic rock duo). I remember seeing her and him on an interview segment in their home on one of the gossip shows right before this song released. In the interview Axl actually mentioned that his real name was Bill Bailey Jr not William Bruce Rose Jr. I remember due to my late mom being a fan of the song "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey" by either the Andrews Sisters or the MacGuire Sisters (I can't remember which at the moment). Wikipedia tends to get things wrong a lot unfortunately.
This song for me heard it on the radio for the first time was the song that elevated slash has a great guitarist for me all my guitar Heroes come out of the late '60s and mid-70s and I never held Guns and Roses up as more than an average band until this song and slash really shined in his technique enjoy it
It good to see Chewie Hanging out jamming out and living Chewie's best rock n roll life. 🎤🎸🎹
GNR performed in my city about 31 years ago, and when this piece of art started, a drizzle began to fall and the most epic part of this song was being sung... that is an indelible memory for those of us who were there that night of November 27th
I grew up on GNR. Obvious favorite is sweet child of mine, but Estranged is another great one not as well known. In an interview slash claimed estranged was one of the hardest guitar pieces he ever played
She is Stephanie Seymour one of the first og super models
Hi Diane! I don't listen to Guns & Roses much these days, because they really got played out in the late 80s/Early 90s. And their lead singer was a big Chad for a long time, but I think he's gotten better these days. Have a great weekend!
Having 22 different band members seems to verify your "big chad" statement.
Guns ruled the world dor 7 years ended big hair metal one of the best. FYI this is part two of a Trilogy
Paet 1- Don't cry
2- November Rain
3- Estranged All 3 are top-notch Id suggest watching the others
"It's hard to hold the candle in the cold November rain." - Such a classic line. Always liked it.
Try Listening to Paradise City, Sweet Child of Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, Live and Let Die (originally a Paul McCartney song), Patience.
The drummer is Matt Sorum, who also played with The Cult just before joining GNR. Lookup The Cult, which are on tour now and will be in Ireland soon I believe
I saw this band live in Paris as part of the world tour of Use Your Illusions LPs and got a tatt of guns n roses with slash,s hat ect and a T-Shirt which my wife stopped me wearing in public , Axl wore it at the concert it said " No one knows im a lesbian" black on white lol
I remember this song coming out, I was in high school, 1992. I graduated 1996 🙂
The reaction/review was nothing short of worthy. Guns n Roses ROCKS! And in my opinion this has always been SLASHES SONG (AS GREAT AS AXL'S VOICE).
Las, this was the beginning of the end of GNR.
Appetite for DESTRUCTION was their debut, - hard, raw, uncensored, it was hard rock.
Next thing you know Axl went into psycho therapy and they went to crap, imho. The edge was gone, the anger was gone, and they went soft.
Axl was molested as a child - hence the anger, the raw, unapologetic, in your face, charisma, and when Slash agreed to play with Michael Jackson...?
It was too much for Axl and he told Slash so. Axl saw how far they had sold out to the dark side.
Nope. After Appetite all you had left was waterd down fans.
Btw, this is an incredible song with an incredibly descriptive yet completely rounded storyline too, but what do you think?
Slash, the guitarist, is still with the band since they reformed with many of the original members! Duff McKagan is the Blonde haired guitarist too and he is also back in the lineup! ❤️🔥
I reacted to some current video of theirs. Also, they suggest the Guns n' roses select videos with several cool current videos on their UA-cam channel
6:34 Slash is Dutch a legend!🤩
Thanks, Manscaped for sponsoring the Channel, giving a discount, and Papa Jennings for showing the Product.
Guns N Roses ... you should to hear Paradise City
13:37 that’s not a bad way of measuring music, also hilarious
Fridays Weekend Rock N Roll Party On Vibes are Here Wheee!
Wheee 😊
@@DianeJennings Woohoo 😊🥳
You should try watching the other two parts which are estranged and Don’t cry
Saw them live for the 5th time last weekend
Best show yet!!!
Greetings Diane
Yes, that is Axel Rose. His style of voice can be called 'raspy'.
The 'Guy with the hat' is Saul Hudson, known as Slash. He is biracial, British and Black. Slash become synonymous with the Top Hat since stealing one before a show in 1985. He has been part of 8 bands, including G'nR.
This song can be referred to as a power ballad. The house where that wedding reception occurs is the SAME (famous) house (mansion) used in the "Godfather" films, if I am not mistaken. The cemetery where the 'bride' is buried is has also been used in several films and tv shows.
The video has a disconnect / inconsistency in that Slash - 'the guitar guy- exits the church /chapel and he is out in the middle of nowhere outside a small church and gets to do his amazing guitar solo. Axel and 'the bride' exit the same place and they find themselves in front of St. Bredan Catholic Church in Los Angeles with people and a car ready to take them away.
The "bride' is famous supermodel Stephanie Seymour. She was his then gf around 1992 when the video was shot.
The church in the guitar solo was specially build there for the video (somewhere in New Mexico; probably just outside of Taos, NM) because it was filmed around wintertime and there were no 'good looking fields" in California as it was first envisioned.
The stage where the band performs most of the song is the Orpheum Theater also in Los Angeles.
