0:17 Muy Michelle
5:31 Think about you
12:04 Sweet child O'mine
18:34 You're crazy
23:18 Anything goes
28:37 Rocket queen
Man I love this album so much! Rocket Queen is still my favorite. Always loved that it's like 2 different songs in one.
i think its the most GnR song they wrote.
Rocket Queen is my fav aswell, Anything Goes is a close second.
Yup, Rocket Queen is definitely my favorite too.
I love Rocket Queen! The first part is like so explicit and dark, and then comes the best, when he screams out how much he still love her and just wanted her to know
100% agree rocket Queen has been my favorite guns and roses song since day one I'm 52 years old I was about 17 when this album came out except for the world wearing out welcome to the jungle and sweet child of mine everything else on this is golden
It's time for Use your illusion now!! Great reaction!
i will never understand why Think About You isn't their biggest hit that and Rocket Queen def my favorite. In my opinion best hard rock album of alltime
Think About You was mostly written by Izzy Stradlin, and Izzy played lead on it while Slash took a rare rhythm part!
Rocket Queen is definitely my favorite. How can it be this was 35 years ago?
Each song on this album had it's own personality, never would or will be replicated. Still remember the anticipation, even the smell of the cassette when i took it out of the plastic. What times....
14:13…that line about “as a child I’d hide…” is Axl talking about his stepdad beating the piss out of him
Oh, I did not realise that
I think Rocket Queen is such a fancy cool song. so much creativity and skill
"It's like starting this song out so sweet and then, bang!, change up." I think you'd really like the story behind "My Michelle." One of Axl's female friends asked him one day to write a song about her. So he did. He wrote a nice sweet ballad type song, but as he listened to it he realized it wasn't really about HER. So he went back and rewrote it, making it a heavy, dirty, nasty song about the person she really was. He played it for her and she absolutely loved it.
Cool story 👍🏻 By any chance can you share all the stories behind all of the songs in the album? Thanks!
I've loved this album since 1987, it's always cool when people discover great music for the first time, you rock 🤘😝🤘
I can't say which one is my favorite song...each and every songs on this album will be my favorite, so aggressive and so raw, so rock and roll 🤘
PLUS - The second part of Rocket queen ❤❤❤the bass line, the drums sound from the back,,, the guitar solo,, the rhythm section,, the voice,,, the heavy and loud melodic tune 😊rocket queen,,, i just love it
My Michelle = underrated
It was fun seeing her reactions, can’t believe she hadn’t heard the complete album before now.
Children need to be taught in kindergarten that Appetite For Destruction is the greatest album of all time.
For me, the greatest will always be Boston's debut or Foghat's classic album "Fool For The City". These were the main 2 albums that rang the "it's time for me to get a guitar" bell when i was 13.
Absolute facts. Still my favorite album to this day.
The opening riff for Sweet Child o' Mine came from a warm-up guitar scale that Slash would use before playing. And it became one of the most recognized guitar licks of all time.
How crazy is it that sweet child is summat like 36 years old? Still sounds like it could of been written yesterday
Well, they usually love to close the concert with Paradise. And believe me, you leave the concert with a Big Smile!!!!
Rocket Queen is one of my favorite songs of this album. They always play that song. I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Listen the "Use Your Illusion" albums. You're going to love them!
they were branded with the title "the worlds most dangerous band" by parents and media back in the day. i always found it hilarious that the last line, in the first album, from the most dangerous people, was "all i ever wanted, was for you, to know that i care."
edit: thank you for doing whole thing. love what you do.
On the other hand, they were heavily into alcohol and drugs, Steven Adler, Slash, and Duff all at some point were close to death due it. Slash was actually dead for a few minutes and was brought back, Duff was given weeks to live because of alcohol related problems, and Adler has lingering issues to this day due to damage caused by drug consumption. According to Slash's own autobiography, both his trademark top hat, and the amp he used to record this album were stolen. Axl was constantly getting into violent altercations. They were so unruly that they were filling up venues and no one would give them a record deal because of how volatile they were.
Also, Rocket Queen is a work of art, only Guns N' Roses could have written it.
@@markdavison4047 lead singer who stands up for the safety of himself and his band when security is doing nothing. You have a complete misunderstanding of what that situation was.
@@markdavison4047 not what occurred
@mark davison I've seen the video, everyone has seen the video. The difference in you and I being that you want a certain scenario to be reality and it simply is not, while I've listened to the people who were there and their much better grasp of what was going on.
No reason to keep stressing it when you're dead wrong.
@@andyshores9391 yeah he's a Axl hater. I get it. Here's the rub. It happened 32 effen yrs ago. Even St. Louis has welcomed GNR back with open arms ( they were banned for a while). Since 2016 when the reunited not a inkling of any " diva rock star"
In fact it's kinda boring...jk. People make mistakes and grow. Mark is reaching when you gotta go back to something that happened over 30 yrs ago
I never noticed the hand claps until you pointed them out! You so Rock!
Rock on!!! This album was played at all the party’s in the late 80s to mid 90s its wat got the party STARTED!!
Köszönöm! Csodálatos volt újra hallani ezeket a dalokat több mit 30 év elteltével!
One of the last great things that happened to rock. Fucking amazing album.
theee last
Slash wrote the beginning to sweet child as a practice to pick alternate strings. He was always trying to learn when Izzy heard it and started putting chords to it. Slash hated playing it cause he said it was cheesy. It took a long time for him to like it after seeing the fan’s reaction to the opening notes
Slash has confirmed in an interview recently that this is not true, just a myth that he has no idea where it began.
You are a beautiful person and a beautiful soul. You reacting to this album will go down a one of the best decisions you ever made in life😉
Time for use your illusions 1 and 2!! Some of slashes best guitar work!!
This album stood as my favourite album for 30 years (OMG I feel old !!) only being surpassed in the last 3 or 4 years but after seeing your reaction and listening along to it all over again it's nudging back to the top. It certainly is the album that changed my entire outlook on music and life in general.
Thanks for the reaction , super glad you enjoyed one of the greatest albums of all time 😊
What surpassed it?
@@Kevin-mf5fm Queen of the Murder Scene by The Warning. absolute masterpiece :)
@@MG_Motorsport I guess the real question is, will that album hold up for you 30 years later the way AFD has.
Great reaction to the whole album 👍. In 1987 music was starting to change back to a harder, more stripped down sound. You could see it in the clubs and start hearing it with Guns N' Roses. I had a lot of mixed tapes and CDs and EPs from local and regional bands across the West Coast and they sounded nothing like the music from 1982-1987, I thought we were going back to a Punk and pure hard Rock period by the late 80s and we kinda did, too bad it ended before the end of the 90s. "Old music eats new music" probably the most accurate thing I heard last year.
When this album was released as LP and cassette, there were 2 sides and for 'Appetite for destruction', the record's first side was dubbed "Side G" (the guns, the hard rocking songs)... second side was "Side R" (the roses, the songs about relationships and love) 😂
Yep play side G when you're all rockin at the party, then flip it to side R when you're ready to hit the bedroom with your babe!!
Now you know why it's called Guns N' Roses
@@blackman5867 It was called Guns N' Roses because the band was formed by L.A. Guns guitarist Tracii Guns and Hollywood Rose vocalist W. Axl Rose... Axl even told Tracii, "You are the guns... I'll be the roses..."
Axl fired Tracii in year 1 and replaced him w/ Slash.
Why does yt hate me
I loved this reaction and your vibes. I was enjoying the same as you. This album maark my teenage times (in 2007 haha)
Love your channel and your reactions to great music. I was lucky enough to see Guns in concert and it was worth the money.
This album came out when I was about 19-20 years old. I wore it out then, and still listen to it now. My top 3 rock albums are 1) Back in Black/AC/DC 2) Appetite for Destruction/GNR 3) Shake your Moneymaker/Black Crowes. Those three albums....not a bad song on any of them. Three albums that you can listen to from beginning to end, and not hear a bad song.
Check out the album "Tea Party" by Eve. It's by a Japanese indie artist and it's actually pretty recent compared to the ones you listed up there (mid 2010s). But I'm telling you the hype is no where far from those 3. Check out the songs "Dramaturgy", "Literally Nonsense", "The Secret About That Girl" or "As You Like It" first if you have no time
Still my all time favorite album, it never gets old. Not sure where you are from but you have a beautiful accent! I truly enjoyed this video. Both “Use Your Illusion” albums by them are great too (almost as good as this), you should check them out as well. Cheers from the U.S.
When Welcome to the Jungle hit MTV it was a game changer!! Sad a lot of years of music was lost, Good they’re back together touring, hopefully something new from Guns N Roses in the future!!
I was on the fence until "Sweet Child of Mine" hit MTV. It was like ten AM on a Tuesday or something. Holy shit!
Not a surprise this is one of the few albuns with all songs in my usb pen i use while driving. 12 out of 12. Came out when I was a 12 yo kid and 26 years later is still on repeat mode, not an easy task. Saw them life in Lisbon a few years later and, even with Axl acting like a proper rock diva, still one of the best concerts I've ever been (Guns n' Roses, Faith no More and Soundgarden...)
Fun fact:The "where do we go now"part came from Axl not knowing where to go with the song after Slash's solo.haha!
Rocket Queen is my fave track on the album. Verdy I strongly suggest you watch some of the tracks of this album live, especially Nightrain, It's So Easy & Rocket Queen, all Live In Tokyo 1992 as then you'll see them at their best.
Live at the Ritz, 88...the best show ever
@l.ncunha7001 just watched it! Someone in the comment section said that that show was the definition of pure rock n roll, and I 100% agree. If anyone ever asked me what's the best rock n roll concert I'd show them either that or Queen at Live Aid 1985
@@l.ncunha7001Oh yeah it is! Rocket Queen is a great last song on the album and at that show. Love when Axl just disappears and you can see them looking around “where’d Axl go?” but they just keep chugging right along and Izzy and Slash do some great guitar dueling on the fly. Have a CD of that show and it’s them at their nasty best. Rough and raw. The original line up w Izzy and Adler on the kit has never been equaled.
I felt the same in my first time 36 years ago ❤ thank you for making this video! ❤❤
Verdy rocking out is one of my favorite things to watch!
It's watching someone genuinely Feel the music for the first time
Love Verdy! ❤️
The very first song They Wrote and did as The Band GNR was the song Don't Cry .VERDY you hear that when you reach the use your illusion Albums from that one.
GNRs legacy is a moment in time. A great classic album, they will never be this band again and in all likelihood will never write another note of new music, which is sad, but again, the legacy is a moment in time that will never be recaptured
Thanks for the reaction.
Keep up the full album videos and I think your channel will grow quickly.
So nice to see the deeper cuts when everyone else is doing the radio hits
Great Reaction to such an iconic album Beautiful young lady.. Glad that you enjoyed it 🤘😘.. Hello from New Hampshire U.S.A 👋
This is truly heaven
Greetings from Oregon. I'm so happy I subscribed.
Great reaction to a fantastic album. Thank you!
This 1 of the greatest albums of all time. And don’t forget Steven ‘Popcorn’ Adler on drums. He helped make this group too.
Straight and wild!! One of the best Rock & roll albums of all time!! My favourites: "My Michelle" and "Think About You"
It's easy to see why this is one of the best albums of all time. It's just constant Hit after Hit, adrenaline pumping on the edge of your seat music with a rebel bad boy vibe and a cheeky young girl smile yet it just feels so good.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🥝🇳🇿
Today I discovered your channel and I loved it 👏. Greetings from Argentina🇦🇷!
An relatively unknown album from them with some real bangers on it is ‘the spaghetti incident’, the songs are g’n’r versions of british punk bands
I agree the album gets so much bad criticism there is 6 to 7 solid tracks on that album that they did very well always liked I don't care about you and down on the farm the best
Really enjoyed your reactions on these! This album really changed the face of rock music in the 80s, as many other commenters have pointed out. Slash was my first guitar hero when I was 10 and I'm still amazed and inspired by so much of what he did on these Guns albums.
After you've gone ahead and listened to G N' R Lies and the Use Your Illusion albums (which you simply must do immediately! can't wait to watch!) I would love to see you react to some of their live material from the early 90s. I'd say, along with Queen and Metallica, Guns N' Roses in the early 90s were among the most awe-inspiring and exciting bands ever to watch in concert. They produced a full-length concert video in Tokyo on that tour, and I also remember watching live when they did a pay-per-view show in Paris, which is also not that hard to find these days. A couple notes for you on some questions you had:
- The strange guitar-like sound on "Anything Goes" is a guitar being played through an effect called a talk box. Essentially, it runs the amplified guitar sound through a silicone tube into the player's mouth, so he can shape the sound with his mouth the same way you do when you speak, and then it gets picked up by a microphone just like vocals. Peter Frampton made it really popular in the 70s, and many other rock guitarists picked it up after that.
- You mentioned that "Rocket Queen" would be a great set closer. In fact, Guns always ended their shows, at least from 1991 on, with "Paradise City." The opening song was either "It's So Easy" or "Nightrain", I guess depending on how well Axl's voice was warmed up. The second tune was "Mr. Brownstone," and then they'd kind of do whatever they felt like for the next two hours. Every show was an adventure.
Also, don't miss their music videos from the 90s! "Don't Cry", "November Rain", and "Estranged" form a sort of trilogy, and they're all epic productions.
@26:23 is a voice box it uses air to make those sounds. Joe walsh uses it among others
ti really need to watch the 1988 concert, they play most of the songs off this album. you will love it. AND yes they play Rocket Queen as the last song!
Just finished watching both videos of this album. I'm so happy that you enjoyed it and seemed to rock out to it. From start to finish, this whole album was perfect. I was 11 or 12 when this came out, and grew up on rock, led zeppelin, pink Floyd, the police, etc... but this band was, to me, my generation of rock. I was a huge Axl Rose fan as well. I saw them in 1992, during the Use Your Illusions Tour. And I'm so happy I did. I've seen them two other times, 2017 & 2021, after Slash (lead guitarist) and Duff (bassist) reunited back with Axl.
I'm not sure where you live, I'm assuming somewhere in Europe?? If so, they are actually touring Europe in June and July of 2023. Starting in Spain on June 9th - and going from there. I would highly suggest seeing them. I do have to tell you that Axl's voice ( higher registry) is gone, but his lower registry is on point still... especially for being 60-61 now. Slash does a lot of solos and carries the show, along with Duff... and to see Slash it's well worth it and seeing them live. Hope you're able to see them. And also check out their other albums as well. Enjoy the music journey. Take care from the states 🇺🇲.
Me encantó tu reacción con este grupo, Like
Rocket Queen is bar none the best closer I've ever heard in an album. The outro always gets me in the feels.
They actually used to close their concerts with a tune called "good night tonight". ua-cam.com/video/bxbhc3Yg0SM/v-deo.html
All I'm going to say is that I love your videos. Clearly I am not alone, as it's only 8 months since your 10k subs Q&A and now you're closing in on 30k!
Another thing that shows guns and roses was for real the first single they tried to release was it so easy Knowing damn well that would never get no radio play especially back then you never heard cussing on the radio and they release that single as the first single rocket Queen should have been promoted more and it should have been released as a single
Think about you absolute banger 🎸
Hey Verdy, another good album from around this time period is Electric from the band The Cult.
Its just pure passion and sheer brilliance 🎸
Once again... yes!my sentiments exactly about Rocket Queen ( especially that last part 🔥)as the ending to the album.Amazing!
bit corny, but this lady earns the title of Rocket Queen, her reactions were honest and true.
Nah Kim Yo-jong (Kim Jong-un's sister) derserves that title 🚀👸🏻
This was the definitive album of the early 90’s. This album was the soundtrack to a major part of my teens. An absolute banger of an album.
Rocket queen best song on album there for best rock song ever 🍺🎸🎸
I don't think miss Verdy has any idea what they're singing about, it's refreshing 😁
Welcome to the turmoil that is Guns and Rose's. You stepped into in now. Have fun going down this path!
An awesome album. Completely love your energy!!!!
can’t wait to see wat u think if Rocket Queen
especially the break🌋🔥🌋🔥
HOLD ON TIGHT, me lady .🚀🪐Every song 💯🔥🌋🔥 Fewww albums can truly be crowned “”NO-SKIP””
nasty guitar riffs, thundering drums, whaling vocals! Dang! This generation just doesn't know!
it’s time to bring both “use your illusion” albums
You’ll need to check them live, because It’s even greater. Rocket Queen Live at Tokyo ‘92 is a must watch
Anything goes solo is Slash using a talk box a tube that leads from the amp to your mouth, sound is channeled through the tube and you use your mouth to distort the sound and create talking like effect sounds
Just found your channel through the Guns N' Roses, Appetite for Destruction reaction videos. I had to subscribe real quick, your content is awesome. One of the best reviews of such a legendary album I have seen, you pick up on so many details most would miss out on and you have such an inspiring personality. You should totally check out the 'Use Your Illusion' albums when you get the chance.
There is a live version of you're crazy in 1988 in a late tv show. I suggest you to listen to that its wonderful. Song was originally acoustic but they did it like this to make it fit in the album.
Finally someone else heard the claps in Think About You! The sides of the LP where called G side and R side. The Guns side have sonngs about drugs, drinking, the livin' on the atreets. At the Rose side they talk about relationships. Yes, there was a guitar makin' the solo at Anything Goes, using a microfone togeter to give "voice" to the guitar. And the "left-right" guitar at Rocket Queen are impressive, aren't? If the bass left some space in our attention for them...
You were born too late.
You would have LOVED this era.
Nothing can beat "Rocket Queen"
This takes me back to 1988 when i first heard it. I was 8 and my 4 Years older brother bought The record. I was instantly hooked.
VERDY you did a great job with your reaction for The Appetite for Destruction Album from Guns and Roses. Side Note For the video for Sweet Child Of Mine from Them it was directed By Nigel Dick the same Person who work with Britney Spears Baby One More Time Video.
welcome to the GNR World, listen Use Your Illusion I and II, you gonna never believe it!
GNR !!!! SIDE 2. LET'S GO !!!!
FTR Think About You is also about heroin.
Love song to smack
Iz said he had never loved a woman before but the way he felt about heroin seemed to be the closest thing to it
Also, guns and roses SECOND best album is called Use Your Illusion 2. You should check it out. Estranged is my favorite track on it, but there are several great ones.
Use your illusion 1 is better
This album was a parent's worst nightmare.
A very heard and great song 🎵
original album cover art used to be considered the most offensive imagery that one could envision( 36years later ○ it can remain offensive to anyone YET so many other efforts in the name of 'Art' seem to have overshadowed it ) \ personally was never difficult to separate the musicianship from that • Ritz MTV bleeped gig thankfully remains on youtube /
cheers.
Iconic is exactly right. Well said.
"Panties around your knees with your ass in the breeze" lol (Anything Goes)
You can see many of these live in 1988 at the Ritz
I'm so glad you got to hear the greatest debut rock album of all time.
I'm a massive fan.
And I know you will be now
You now must get into the rest of their stuff
You'll love it
Also must watch the Paradise City music video, which shows epic live concert footage!
Oh and don't forget it's so easy video clip
Everyone instantly knows the Sweet Child rift, you are correct. They played in Birmingham, AL at Legion Field arena and we had torrential rains before the concert so it turned into a giant mud pit.
Amazing reaction....this album kill me...as always....
If you want to hear more from Slash, search for band called "Slash ft. Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators" i recommend song called "Anastasia"
The best album ever
This the number one record or all times the best selling of all times sold 42 million when It came put not In time ! No soon As It Hit !
Band members at this Time was Axl Rose Lead Vocals - Duff McKagan Bass - Izzy Stradlin Rhyme Guitar -Steven Adler Drummer & Last But Definitely Not less Slash Lead guitar.
🤣🤣rocket sauce has only speed🤘🏽 luv ur Reaction. 🔥🔥u Truly LISTEN 👍🏽
You got the Zeppelin poster in the back great :)
