Hey Family! Here is my Rock & Roll | Bands reaction playlist; check it out and let me know what to react to next ua-cam.com/play/PLqA_v6ZbevQguCR2z0Pc2DwzmS9c1smxl.html
Want "The message" from the song? Axl Rose got off the bus from the Midwest in the 80s in the city (The Jungle!) Crack cocaine, heroin, gangs, police brutality! Telling you from a man who grew up in the city, in the 80s! Want to get involved and play in the Jungle in the 80s??? It won't be for free, watch it make you bleed, feel my Serpentine, watch it bring you to your Sha na na na na na na na Knees!
Started with Axl getting off the bus from the midwest...the jungle is the city...and the same guy, at the end, now with big hair, stops to look at the same tv as he did when he first arrived. The effects of "the jungle"
I always felt that GnR was a product of the 80's. A decade of complete chaos devoid of constant surveillance and left alone with our own depravity to do whatever we wanted to do. Even through that mess, we came out alive and survived.
Slash (lead guitar... real name Saul Hudson) of Guns N' Roses is a stellar guitarist; he did actually work w/ Michael Jackson (not 'Dirty Diana'... that was Steve Stevens of Billy Idol's band) Slash played the guitar intro to 'Black or white'... and the guitar on the single 'Give in to me'... from MJ's 'Dangerous' album in 1991... Slash has also performed w/ MJ. 'Welcome to the jungle' was written about Los Angeles in the 80's... GNR singer Axl Rose left Indiana to join a rock band on the West Coast and came to L.A. and it was a shock for this country boy to see the big city w/ hustlers, pimps, dealers and hookers all over the streets.
@@JaquelineGoodspeed Steve Stevens (guitar) did the solo for 'Dirty Diana' on the record. Slash played the intro to 'Black or white'... and 'Give in to me'... He performed w/ M.J. multiple times. Do the research.
The jungle is l Los Angeles and what it does to young bright eyed kids coming there searching for their dreams. The band was on heroin Axel Gap the idea from this song from his first week in Los Angeles. He was sleeping on a couch and an alley. If I remember correctly and some guy yelled out. Welcome to the jungle. At him
Yes, the guitarist is Slash who often collaborated with Michael Jackson. Such amazing artistry. Axl Rose is a genius too, what an electrifying performance.
FYI - Slash is a British/American! He was born July 23, 1965 in Stone-on-Trent, United Kingdom. 🇬🇧 Axl Rose was visiting a friend near Seattle. While there, he started writing lyrics that told a story of the life in the Hollywood streets .. describes the life in Hollywood as a fight for survival. 💪 🦍🐅🦏🐆🐘 “You’re in the jungle, baby” .. So good!
Lyrics: Welcome to the jungle We got fun and games We got everything you want Honey, we know the names We are the people that can find Whatever you may need If you got the money, honey We got your disease In the jungle, welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your knees, knees Ooh-ah, I wanna watch you bleed Welcome to the jungle We take it day by day If you want it, you're gonna bleed But that's the price you pay You're a very sexy girl Who's very hard to please You can taste the bright lights But you won't get them for free In the jungle, welcome to the jungle Feel my, my, my, my serpentine I, I wanna hear you scream Welcome to the jungle It's worse here everyday You learn to live like an animal In the jungle where we play You got a hunger for what you see You'll take it eventually You can have anything you want But you better not take it from me In the jungle, welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your knees, knees Ooh-ah, I'm gonna watch you bleed And when you're high, you never Ever want to come down So down, so down, so down, yeah Aw You know where you are? You're in the jungle, baby You're gonna die In the jungle, welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your knees, knees In the jungle, welcome to the jungle Feel my, my, my, my serpentine In the jungle, welcome to the jungle Watch it bring you to your knees, knees In the jungle, welcome to the jungle Watch it bring to your... It's gonna bring you down, huh
The story behind this song is well known. When Axl arrived in LA he disembarked from the bus in a volatile neighborhood. A black man looked at him and said, "You know wheere you are? You're in the jungle, Baby. You're gonna die!" And a classic was born...
This video and GNR almost never made it. M TV refused to play this video. However one producer gave it one shot and played it once at like 2 in the morning. The video became the most requested video on M TV. Everyone loved it. Another fun bit of history, when the US invaded Panama, the US soldiers took over the national radio station and put this song on replay and just let it go.. lol
AB I needed this reaction!!! Thank u cause u had me dying at ur shocked face and comments...Being a teenager in the 80s was awesome and so was our music!!!
This is a reaction I needed today! When someone realizes the lyrics to this song it does give them a shock. Parts of it get used all the time. I head this comment a while back. If someone got into a time machine and traveled to every decade of the 20th century, the 80s would be the most shocking to them. Still would love to see Sympathy for the Devil or We Didn't Start the Fire.
Oh yes the 80's were glorious. But the music is definitely a culture shock to those who don't know it. I will never forget the look on my cousins face when she heard Dude Looks Like A Lady coming from my computer speakers. 😹
lead singer Axl Rose was visiting a friend near Seattle. While he was there, he started writing lyrics that told a story of the life in the Hollywood streets. He describes the life in Hollywood as a fight for survival with such lines as 'Ya learn to live like an animal/In the jungle where we play.
Axl looks very different in every other video... this video was filmed when he was still in his crazy teased hair phase, but that went away before the band really broke out with their 2nd single "Sweet Child O' Mine". Jungle was released 3 times as a single before it finally charted, after the success of Sweet Child.
I was a teen in the 80s. Absolute decadence and wild wild club life. Concerts were amazing. The music was crazy, and we did things we never should have done. Thankfully there were no cell phone cameras or surveillance back then. LOL
The story behind the song is that when Axel Rose, the front man and lead vocalist, got off the bus from Indiana to Hollywood that he was told by an older black man, 'Welcome to the Jungle, your gonna die" so the Jungle can refer to a city like LA or NYC
I was always intrigued by Slash and his guitar playing. I was also amazed he never caught his hair on fire with his cigarettes and all the hair product they used. 5:19 Axl says he was inspired getting off a bus in New York some homeless guy trying to scare runaways said to them "You know where you are? You're in the jungle baby; you're gonna die!” Guitarist Izzy Stradlin said it was about Hollywood streets true to life. Slash came up with a riff for this song and they made the song from it. Axl Rose used to live in Slash’s mom’s basement.
GnR was Axle Rose on vocals, Slash on lead guitar, Izzy Sradler on rhythm guitar, Duff McKagen on bass guitar and Steven Adler on drums. I saw them when they were the opening band for Aerosmith. It was one of the best shows I've been to. Appetite For Destruction is still an incredible album.
"The disease" was more referring to drugs, vices, etc. And the guitar player is slash, one of the most legendary of all time. Also in the 80's. Large cities were often referred to as "the concrete jungle" indicating a certain survival of the fittest mentality. So basically this is the story of a country boy coming into the big city and it's like "welcome to the jungle, a vice of sex, drugs, broken dreams, and rock&roll".
The guitarist's name is Slash and yes he was in that MJ video. 😃 Axel was unhinged. He has sex with the drummer's girlfriend in the recording booth and it's on the song "Rocket Queen".
At that time the most dangerous band in the world. Appetite for destruction is one of those rock albums that will stand the test of time as it has done since 1987. Every song a banger not to many albums like it.
Wikipedia-Axl Rose wrote the lyrics while visiting a friend in Seattle: "It's a big city, but at the same time, it's still a small city compared to L.A. and the things that you're gonna learn. It seemed a lot more rural up there. I just wrote how it looked to me. If someone comes to town and they want to find something, they can find whatever they want." Guitarist Izzy Stradlin summarizes the song as "about Hollywood streets; true to life
OMG. Your reaction is the absolute best. I can’t stop laughing. This was my band, I was about 11 when I got the album and couldn’t understand why my Dad didn’t want me to listen to it. Now I have kids and I understand.
Slash, the top hat is probly my fav gatarist and didnt alot of projects wirh other so yes i think micheal jacksin was 1. He also fromed another band with the bass, and drummer of gnr, called velvet reveler.. Take a listen to slither
The jungle as I interpret it in the song is everything that a mid-western boy, young, and naive encountered in the big city and the rock scene and how it transformed his mindset, his look, his attitude and sucked the life out of him and he lost everything about who he is and did not know who he is anymore... it killed who he was, brought him down, and he got lost in the mess of everything all around him. He gets off the bus in the city and looks like a young hick... as the video goes that hick is transforming as he sees everything on tv and all around him, and by the end he is transformed.
I watched an interview with Axel Rose, the reason his hair looks like that is because when they were shooting the video, at one point he woke up and they decided to spray his hair with hair spray and have it that way for the video
This is a perfect time to leave you with this, "Tune & Info" yes. The drummer is "Steven Adler" he unfortunately got super heavy in the dope scene. The members of "Skid Row" were very close friends with GNR members. Especially with "Adler". It was so devasting for them all. Skid Row wrote the tune about "Adler" - "Wasted Time" The vocals alone are supernatural in ranges. Peace
Lead guitarist (top hat and hair) is slash a legendary guitarist. He has his own band with myles kennedy lead singing. Myles is my fav lead singer currently.
this song was actually bannedf rom being played until it was snuck into MTV for a Early Morning few. MTV didn't think anyone was going to watch it but the next day all the radios station were bombarded with request of the song and had no Choice but to play it. After that MTV made it a regular spot and the rest as we know Is history.
I was in high school when this album came out and here we are like 35 years later and I can still remember exactly where I was when I heard this song for the first time. This band could have been one of the greatest rock bands of all time but Axl Rose, the lead singer, was such a prick he drove away every one of these guys. Appetite is such an amazing album from beginning to end. After that there were a couple of albums that only managed a few songs that were any good. Its sad to think about what could have been.
When Guns N' Roses formed in the 80's after the breakup of a local band Hollywood Rose, vocalist W. Axl Rose and guitarist Izzy Stradlin joined another local band L.A. Guns... they opted to change the name to Guns N' Roses (singer Axl Rose and guitarist Tracii Guns)... but in 1986, Axl Rose fired Tracii Guns and hired Slash (lead guitar) whom he had played w/ in Hollywood Rose... Duff McKagan (bass) and Steven Adler (drums) rounded out the band. In 1986, Guns N' Roses was a popular band in L.A. and Hollywood, but they were trouble... always getting into fights... always doing drugs and booze... always getting arrested... No one wanted to work w/ them. Finally, an A&R rep from Geffen Records signed the band and got them into the studio in '86 to record their debut album 'Appetite for destruction'... When the music industry heard it, they shook their heads in disbelief and thought the band would break up before the album came out! After securing a manager and some organization, Guns N' Roses released 'Appetite for destruction' in the Fall of 1987 and shot this music video for 'Welcome to the jungle'... When MTV debuted the video in late '87, the demand for the single was so high that it blew out MTV's request lines... By 1988, the album went to #1 on the US charts and would sell over 18 million copies in the US alone and made Guns N' Roses superstars by 1989 as the band toured the world. However, Guns N' Roses members were heavy drug users and drinkers... and when they made million$ after their success, they didn't know what to do but do more drugs and more booze... They were able to settle a bit by 1990 to work on new music, but drummer Steven Adler was so far gone on drugs that he couldn't play drums in the studio... Adler was fired and Matt Sorum (drums) joined and played drums on what became a 2 CD release in 1991 - 'Use your illusion' Vo. I and II... which charted at #1 and #2. By that point, singer Axl Rose had seized control of GNR and a weary Izzy Stradlin (guitar) quit the band in late 1991 as they were on a massive world tour... Gilby Clarke (guitar) joined and was featured in their music videos, but GNR was falling apart from partying, drugs and alcohol in 1992/ '93... The tour ended in 1993, but GNR never got to making a new album as lead guitarist Slash was fired in 1996 and the band members all left by 1997... which was the end of the classic Guns N' Roses. In 2016, Slash and Duff McKagan finally reconciled w/ singer Axl Rose and returned to touring w/ Guns N' Roses (guitarist Izzy Stradlin and drummer Steven Adler were not invited to rejoin)... Slash has also been busy touring as a solo artist w/ singer Myles Kennedy (vocalist of Alter Bridge) and the Conspirators.
This song was blasting as I was in a trans am with a drunk guy I just met that decided to run a red light we were stopped at and he slammed into a cop car, t bone, trying to get on the highway...there was a cop car behind that cop car and a cop car behind us when the dummy did that...I found myself dangling over a Dallas overpass being rescued and the song just kept playing.... #funtimes #genx #survived #buddidyoudie lmao the cops were ok, everybody lived, never saw that jerk again...

You need to check out Motley Crue another great 80s rock band.

That guitarist that can't hardly see his face.... that is SLASH. He is a living legend. Highly respected musician.
I remember watching this video for the first time in 1988 screaming “Ma! I want a guitar for Christmas!!”
He did a song with michael , Give in to me❤
Started with Axl getting off the bus from the midwest...the jungle is the city...and the same guy, at the end, now with big hair, stops to look at the same tv as he did when he first arrived. The effects of "the jungle"
It happened in NYC but refers to LA.
Guitar players name is Slash. He did the guitar with Michael Jackson song "Give Into Me".
Also Black and White. And Beat it live version.
I always felt that GnR was a product of the 80's. A decade of complete chaos devoid of constant surveillance and left alone with our own depravity to do whatever we wanted to do. Even through that mess, we came out alive and survived.
The hard rock sound of the 80’s may return one day.
Indeed. My biggest worry was my highly flammable big hair, and walmart running out of Aqua Net hairspray lol.
@@GrapeApe2018 I rode a motorcycle and my biggest worry was helmet hair, not crashing.
We had so much fun, though.
GnR was the beggining of the end for really decent music in the 80's. Great band, but Axel sucked as a "singer."
I was born January of 1970. So I was a teenager in the 80s the best time to be in the 80s by the way. Guns N’ Roses was everything.!
I genuinely envy you for that
1974 here. You’re exactly right
Slash (lead guitar... real name Saul Hudson) of Guns N' Roses is a stellar guitarist; he did actually work w/ Michael Jackson (not 'Dirty Diana'... that was Steve Stevens of Billy Idol's band) Slash played the guitar intro to 'Black or white'... and the guitar on the single 'Give in to me'... from MJ's 'Dangerous' album in 1991...

No he did dirty Diana at a one of MJs tour.
@@JaquelineGoodspeed Whar r u talking about? Slash + M.J.?
Look up the performances... 👉
@@sumonjamal1653
Yes. Research it yourself. MJ wanted the best, he chose Slash. Look it up.
@@JaquelineGoodspeed Steve Stevens (guitar) did the solo for 'Dirty Diana' on the record.
Slash played the intro to 'Black or white'... and 'Give in to me'...
He performed w/ M.J. multiple times.
Do the research.
Yes he did but also dirty Diana.
80’s were a BLAST... 90’s good too. Gen X and we were wild and quiet at the same time. Dangerous combo. Slash was fire!
You're funny bro. He says, "it'll take you to your, shnnnnn, knees, knees". That was a great reaction.
The jungle is l Los Angeles and what it does to young bright eyed kids coming there searching for their dreams. The band was on heroin Axel
Gap the idea from this song from his first week in Los Angeles. He was sleeping on a couch and an alley. If I remember correctly and some guy yelled out. Welcome to the jungle.
At him
That was a hilarious reaction. :D "gonna bring you to your shanannanananana-knees, knees!" My favorite song from them.
Guns & 🌹 is my husbands favorite band. He said crank it all the way up.
💘Guns N' Roses!!! Welcome to the Jungle is my favorite of their songs!!!
Coma in my opinion. Is mine. Welcome to the jungle is great but I didn't like Axl's look in it.
Yes, the guitarist is Slash who often collaborated with Michael Jackson. Such amazing artistry. Axl Rose is a genius too, what an electrifying performance.
FYI - Slash is a British/American! He was born July 23, 1965 in Stone-on-Trent, United Kingdom. 🇬🇧 Axl Rose was visiting a friend near Seattle. While there, he started writing lyrics that told a story of the life in the Hollywood streets .. describes the life in Hollywood as a fight for survival. 💪 🦍🐅🦏🐆🐘 “You’re in the jungle, baby” .. So good!
I believe he was born in Hampstead London but raised in Stoke on Trent
@@robertphelps1574 Gotcha .. Thanks!
Omg you had me rolling with your expressions (with your air guitar).
They play this song at the beginning of every Bengals home game, they call the stadium the jungle
I'm an 80's kid and I had Guns 'n Roses , along with many other 80's rock bands all over my bedroom walls.
Yes slash was on stage with Michael Jackson song Dirty Diana. Guns N Rose's is my favorite band
Lyrics:
Welcome to the jungle
We got fun and games
We got everything you want
Honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey
We got your disease
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
Ooh-ah, I wanna watch you bleed
Welcome to the jungle
We take it day by day
If you want it, you're gonna bleed
But that's the price you pay
You're a very sexy girl
Who's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get them for free
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my, my serpentine
I, I wanna hear you scream
Welcome to the jungle
It's worse here everyday
You learn to live like an animal
In the jungle where we play
You got a hunger for what you see
You'll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
Ooh-ah, I'm gonna watch you bleed
And when you're high, you never
Ever want to come down
So down, so down, so down, yeah
Aw
You know where you are?
You're in the jungle, baby
You're gonna die
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my, my serpentine
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your knees, knees
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring to your...
It's gonna bring you down, huh
WOW!!! 👍👍

This was the only cassette tape I took to bootcamp with me in 1988 7:02
You a True American Hero !
Wore my cassette tape out that same year, lol.
10% violin

The song of the Cincinnati Bengals! Who Dey! 🧡🖤🏈
Guitar players name is slash, and hes in everything from commercials to movies and everything in between! 🤣
AB I needed this reaction!!! Thank u cause u had me dying at ur shocked face and comments...Being a teenager in the 80s was awesome and so was our music!!!
The song is about trying to make it in LA when you first move there!
I was 13 when this song came out. Just instantly blown away this whole album shaped my adolescence
This is a reaction I needed today! When someone realizes the lyrics to this song it does give them a shock. Parts of it get used all the time. I head this comment a while back. If someone got into a time machine and traveled to every decade of the 20th century, the 80s would be the most shocking to them. Still would love to see Sympathy for the Devil or We Didn't Start the Fire.
Oh yes the 80's were glorious. But the music is definitely a culture shock to those who don't know it. I will never forget the look on my cousins face when she heard Dude Looks Like A Lady coming from my computer speakers. 😹
Sympathy for the devil by the Stones was 1968.
I was thinking of songs AB hasn't done. If we were going strictly 80s I would like to see Jovi Runaway or Pat Benatar Hell is for Children
He is saying KNEES.... The Jungle will bring you to your KNEES.
The swirl 😅
lead singer Axl Rose was visiting a friend near Seattle. While he was there, he started writing lyrics that told a story of the life in the Hollywood streets. He describes the life in Hollywood as a fight for survival with such lines as 'Ya learn to live like an animal/In the jungle where we play.

Steve Stevens played guitar on Dirty Diana, he was the lead guitarist for Billy Idol.
I was born in ‘84, so I grew up with this. I love it when people discover the music.
"HE WANTS YOU TO FEEL HIS SERPENTINE " Think about it!
one of the first bands I ever fell in love with!! Let's ROCK!
He's saying "Watch it bring you to your knees"
...another classic band, Axle Rose his style, dress, hair outrageous performers...Peace👍☝️😌
Beginning of video axel gets off bus country bumpkin arrives to city and takes in the jungle
"Welcome to the jungle" The theme song for each person when they graduate from high school/college.
1987; I was 20 years old. So much fun.
I was a teen in the 80s. Absolute decadence and wild wild club life. Concerts were amazing. The music was crazy, and we did things we never should have done. Thankfully there were no cell phone cameras or surveillance back then. LOL
Great reaction 👏👏👏👏 to a fantastic song 😎☮️
The story behind the song is that when Axel Rose, the front man and lead vocalist, got off the bus from Indiana to Hollywood that he was told by an older black man, 'Welcome to the Jungle, your gonna die" so the Jungle can refer to a city like LA or NYC
Love GnR awesome group! Love this song!!🔥🔥
Thanks AB!!
Knees…knees
I was always intrigued by Slash and his guitar playing. I was also amazed he never caught his hair on fire with his cigarettes and all the hair product they used. 5:19 Axl says he was inspired getting off a bus in New York some homeless guy trying to scare runaways said to them "You know where you are? You're in the jungle baby; you're gonna die!” Guitarist Izzy Stradlin said it was about Hollywood streets true to life. Slash came up with a riff for this song and they made the song from it. Axl Rose used to live in Slash’s mom’s basement.
The Jungle specifically in this song is Los Angeles…but it also represents any large city.
That's Slash! 😅😅
GnR was Axle Rose on vocals, Slash on lead guitar, Izzy Sradler on rhythm guitar, Duff McKagen on bass guitar and Steven Adler on drums.
I saw them when they were the opening band for Aerosmith. It was one of the best shows I've been to. Appetite For Destruction is still an incredible album.
"The disease" was more referring to drugs, vices, etc. And the guitar player is slash, one of the most legendary of all time. Also in the 80's. Large cities were often referred to as "the concrete jungle" indicating a certain survival of the fittest mentality. So basically this is the story of a country boy coming into the big city and it's like "welcome to the jungle, a vice of sex, drugs, broken dreams, and rock&roll".
The guitarist's name is Slash and yes he was in that MJ video. 😃
Axel was unhinged. He has sex with the drummer's girlfriend in the recording booth and it's on the song "Rocket Queen".
I’m exhausted and exhilarated every time I hear this song!
Slash didn't do the guitar work for "Dirty Diana" but he did the solos for “Black and White” and “ Give it to me”
One of the best rock voices every.
Greatest hard rock song of all time!
I always noticed that when he gets off the bus he looks innocent doesn’t know what L.A. will do
At that time the most dangerous band in the world. Appetite for destruction is one of those rock albums that will stand the test of time as it has done since 1987. Every song a banger not to many albums like it.
Wikipedia-Axl Rose wrote the lyrics while visiting a friend in Seattle: "It's a big city, but at the same time, it's still a small city compared to L.A. and the things that you're gonna learn.

Guitarist Izzy Stradlin summarizes the song as "about Hollywood streets; true to life
His name isn't Randy, but their music still is Savage. try Ozzy Osbourne, Mama i'm comin home. Def Leppard, Rocket
I was 11 yrs old when I bought this cd .. still love them to this day
That is Slash. One of the best guitar players to ever picked one up!!
I love GnR, and Axel was my teenage crush. This is a great song, a crazy video.
Fabulous reaction. I've watched it a few times because you bring a mile to my face. Thanks
The 80’s were wild. We loved every minute of it.
OMG. Your reaction is the absolute best. I can’t stop laughing. This was my band, I was about 11 when I got the album and couldn’t understand why my Dad didn’t want me to listen to it. Now I have kids and I understand.
The 80s were a blast lol. I was an 80 kid. Bring it to your k kn kn kn knee knees knees lol
About coming to LA.
Slash, the top hat is probly my fav gatarist and didnt alot of projects wirh other so yes i think micheal jacksin was 1. He also fromed another band with the bass, and drummer of gnr, called velvet reveler.. Take a listen to slither
I saw them a couple years ago and they still sound awesome. FIRE!!🔥
It helped that we were 4 rows from the stage.
This video was my introduction to G&R, when they were new music. Amazing band! What a ride! They were some true rock-n-roll bad boys!
The nananana part of the chorus was something Roger Taylor of Queen did in his 1977 solo "I Wanna Testify"
😂😂😂 This was one of your funniest reactions!!! You’re awesome!!!
The jungle as I interpret it in the song is everything that a mid-western boy, young, and naive encountered in the big city and the rock scene and how it transformed his mindset, his look, his attitude and sucked the life out of him and he lost everything about who he is and did not know who he is anymore... it killed who he was, brought him down, and he got lost in the mess of everything all around him. He gets off the bus in the city and looks like a young hick... as the video goes that hick is transforming as he sees everything on tv and all around him, and by the end he is transformed.
Slash is awesome. He still sounds and looks like he did in the 80’s.
Can you imagine how hard it is to sing this ?
The Jungle is LA.
Really enjoyed your reaction 😂😅
And YES Slash ( the 🎸 player) played on stage with Michael Jackson for the 30th Anniversary.
On guitar with the top hat is the legendary Slash .
It's much crazier now than it was in the '80s.
I watched an interview with Axel Rose, the reason his hair looks like that is because when they were shooting the video, at one point he woke up and they decided to spray his hair with hair spray and have it that way for the video
Best I ever heard anyone talk themselves out of interrupting a guitar solo.
That's slash and that's his look
This is a perfect time to leave you with this, "Tune & Info" yes. The drummer is "Steven Adler" he unfortunately got super heavy in the dope scene. The members of "Skid Row" were very close friends with GNR members. Especially with "Adler". It was so devasting for them all.

this song was actually bannedf rom being played until it was snuck into MTV for a Early Morning few. MTV didn't think anyone was going to watch it but the next day all the radios station were bombarded with request of the song and had no Choice but to play it. After that MTV made it a regular spot and the rest as we know Is history.
I was in high school when this album came out and here we are like 35 years later and I can still remember exactly where I was when I heard this song for the first time. This band could have been one of the greatest rock bands of all time but Axl Rose, the lead singer, was such a prick he drove away every one of these guys. Appetite is such an amazing album from beginning to end. After that there were a couple of albums that only managed a few songs that were any good. Its sad to think about what could have been.
When Guns N' Roses formed in the 80's after the breakup of a local band Hollywood Rose, vocalist W. Axl Rose and guitarist Izzy Stradlin joined another local band L.A. Guns... they opted to change the name to Guns N' Roses (singer Axl Rose and guitarist Tracii Guns)... but in 1986, Axl Rose fired Tracii Guns and hired Slash (lead guitar) whom he had played w/ in Hollywood Rose... Duff McKagan (bass) and Steven Adler (drums) rounded out the band.
In 1986, Guns N' Roses was a popular band in L.A. and Hollywood, but they were trouble... always getting into fights... always doing drugs and booze... always getting arrested... No one wanted to work w/ them. Finally, an A&R rep from Geffen Records signed the band and got them into the studio in '86 to record their debut album 'Appetite for destruction'... When the music industry heard it, they shook their heads in disbelief and thought the band would break up before the album came out!
After securing a manager and some organization, Guns N' Roses released 'Appetite for destruction' in the Fall of 1987 and shot this music video for 'Welcome to the jungle'... When MTV debuted the video in late '87, the demand for the single was so high that it blew out MTV's request lines... By 1988, the album went to #1 on the US charts and would sell over 18 million copies in the US alone and made Guns N' Roses superstars by 1989 as the band toured the world.
However, Guns N' Roses members were heavy drug users and drinkers... and when they made million$ after their success, they didn't know what to do but do more drugs and more booze... They were able to settle a bit by 1990 to work on new music, but drummer Steven Adler was so far gone on drugs that he couldn't play drums in the studio... Adler was fired and Matt Sorum (drums) joined and played drums on what became a 2 CD release in 1991 - 'Use your illusion' Vo. I and II... which charted at #1 and #2.
By that point, singer Axl Rose had seized control of GNR and a weary Izzy Stradlin (guitar) quit the band in late 1991 as they were on a massive world tour... Gilby Clarke (guitar) joined and was featured in their music videos, but GNR was falling apart from partying, drugs and alcohol in 1992/ '93... The tour ended in 1993, but GNR never got to making a new album as lead guitarist Slash was fired in 1996 and the band members all left by 1997... which was the end of the classic Guns N' Roses.
In 2016, Slash and Duff McKagan finally reconciled w/ singer Axl Rose and returned to touring w/ Guns N' Roses (guitarist Izzy Stradlin and drummer Steven Adler were not invited to rejoin)... Slash has also been busy touring as a solo artist w/ singer Myles Kennedy (vocalist of Alter Bridge) and the Conspirators.
That guitarist is Slash and he has played for MJ
Guitar player is Slash. He did play on stage with Michael Jackson before.
This song was blasting as I was in a trans am with a drunk guy I just met that decided to run a red light we were stopped at and he slammed into a cop car, t bone, trying to get on the highway...there was a cop car behind that cop car and a cop car behind us when the dummy did that...I found myself dangling over a Dallas overpass being rescued and the song just kept playing.... #funtimes #genx #survived #buddidyoudie lmao the cops were ok, everybody lived, never saw that jerk again...
G & R is bad ass! Slash is a super super famous guitar talent! Lead singer is Axl Rose. That band is iconic. Get you a t-shirt LOL!!!
