he's harmonized with Shannon Hoon, who later became the lead singer of his own band Blind Melon. Hoon did background vocals on both Use Your Illusion albums
blind melon!!! another incredible band!!!
would love brads reaction to no rain!!!!
Very easy to tell there are layers of vocal in there. I don’t get why the hell Brad didn’t pick up that.
@@thierryhenry674 because he is listening to the lyrics for the message of the song. Very focused on that task.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I love blind melon and would have loved to have heard where Shannon would have gone.
Slashs solos serve every song from November rain to estranged etc etc he plays heartfelt notes to blazing shreds. Guns fan forever ❤
this girl is a keeper....look how she really deep into axl voice and how the guitar sounds flow ....she is my type
You missed the video where slash crashes his car off of a cliff and stands on the edge smoking a cigarette playing a solo
The high pitched voice that’s harmonizing with Axl is actually the voice of Shannon Hoon from the band Blind Melon. Axl knew Shannon from their home town in Indiana, and Shannon had a beautiful voice. Unfortunately Shannon, like a lot of his contemporaries, died of a drug overdose. I would highly recommend reacting to some blind melon songs as they are a unique band from the 90s that do not get enough credit. My personal favorites of theirs are “Dear O’l dad” and “tones of home”. Shannon had a really unique and soulful voice, and the duel guitar work in Blind Melon is really beautiful.
Axel has the biggest range in the world look it up. He has Mariah Carey bear. And slash is Joe Perry’s and jimmy Hendrickson in one body
Axl Rose has a 6 octave vocal range. Most opera singers have a 2.5 octave range. And Axl has 5-7 different voices.
There are two versions of this song, one on each use your illusion album.
So now its time for Estranged
I think what lex is trying to say is slash puts ALOT of emotion in his solos, true masterpieces I’m so glad your getting into G&R✨✨
Slash almost has heart attacks leading upto a big solo he spoke about in his book he has a pace maker
Slash's solos will have you drooling LOL
@@catalickconverta6823 that was also not helped by the smoking and drugs as well
What makes Slash’s solos so good is he plays within the melody of song. He doesn’t just play a bunch of different notes fast .
Awesome! When u do "November Rain" you need to do the Music Video. Its a must. Actually all three of these songs should be Music Videos. Its a story.1.7 Billion views on November Rain ❤️
Yes.
Then Estranged. The Entire Trilogy
It’s time, video a must!
It’s not 1.7billion cause of the video, but more cause of the song itself
@@pleutron no shit. I never said it was because if the video. I just said all 3 should be videos. It seems you're the only one that didnt get that.
If Axl would have had a normal mental state, they would have cast a shadow over the Rolling Stones. These guys had IT.. everything..
Yeah, that's hard to believe with Axl writing songs like "My World", "Oh My God" and "Silkworms". That industrial journey he keeps trying to force on fans, kills any shot at that.
They been had cast a shadow over them.
Agreed I was one the fans he screwed. Body Count, Metallica, GnR live mile high stadium. Axl came out sang half of Welcome to the Jungle than stormed off stage.
Without Axl Rose you would never have gnr!!
It's actually his behaviour and attitude that gave gnr the reputation that they had.
He was the ultimate all American boy!!
@@perrysaker1526 tell em Perry!
I get what you mean about slash's solos. He pours his soul out on every note. I've been listening to him for 30 years and still get the same goosebumps everytime.
Grew up to this
Definitely one of the best
Dan right
Probably in the comments already but Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon is the high register voice in this song. Great band, very unique!
They were going to listen to a Blind Melon one night but they didn’t put it in the options. Would love for them to listen to them.
Really. I’ve never known that. Bought Use Your Illusion when it was released … but had to save up to buy the other (I think I started with II).
@@smtcharlie watch the real video. He’s in the video especially I know at the end of it singing.
Shannon and Axl were high school friends from Indiana. I went through a big time Blind Melon phase and would love to see a reaction to anything on the Soup album. Galaxie, Vernie, 2x4...a lot of good ones to choose from!
November Rain is the next song in the Story. It is a true masterpiece. It was the first song pre UA-cam to get a billion views. The music video is one of the best and most expensive even made. Estranged is the last song in the trillogy and it is super epic. Don't cry is just the starter, you have the main and dessert to come. These songs were different for Guns N Roses at the time because they were so epic. Especially November Rain and Estranged. Axl was the genius behind these songs. The rest of the band would have just kept doing their hard rock stuff. Axl wanted Guns N Roses to be as big as the Beatles or Queen. You can differently here this in November Rain. If they had stayed together the whole time then they would have been as big as the Beatles and Queen. Either way they are still one of the biggest bands of all time having sold over 100 million albums world wide. Sweet Child O' Mine is my fav song of all time, followed closely by November Rain.
I've never really got the love for November Rain. The second half is great, but the synths and melody on the first half just rub me the wrong way. My GNR ranking would be every song on Appetite, then You Could Be Mine and Don't Cry.
I hope they follow this order and maybe patience also
Estranged and patience are my favorite gnr songs
@@Xenon0000000000001 I agree with you. It's not a horrible song but there are a ton of better GNR songs than November Rain.
I say this as a parent of a child who is born in November named Rayne and also walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of it. So yes, I appreciate it, but there are way better songs. In terms of ballads, Estranged eclipses NR.
See now you got to do November rain and then estranged and it will complete the trilogy because the order they go in is don’t cry then November rain ending with estranged
I think Estranged is my favorite of the series but all 3 are great but doesn't the alternative version screw up the trilogy ?
Another great ballad from GnR is Patience. On a side note Chris Cornell did a real cool cover of it that i would also recommend you listen too
I agree with the first sentence
Cornell's version was lazy and boring.
@@Hallucination I don't know if it was lazy and boring but that fake drum track drives me bonkers! They did Cornell dirty by using computer generated music behind his vocals. He may have did that himself but I think it was added post-mortem to push the song out.
Cornell is an amazing artist and usually takes a cover song and make it his own but I think I only listened to his version of Patience once.
One of my favorites on the "Use your Illusion "album is "14 years " but there are a lot of hidden gems on that double album
Definitely an underrated song of theirs that doesn't get enough play.
Sang by Izzy! Awesome one. My favourite from use your illusion 2, it’s probably “Breakdown”. Lyric masterpiece
@@heliosvice I agree 👍
If u can do The Music Video. Unfortunately u miss a bunch by doing the lyric video. Slash solo, Axl harmonizing with Shannon Hoon fr Blind Melon. Most important it helps understand the song better. ❤️👊💯
I feel the video can take away from listening to the lyrics, but slashes solo part in the desert was cool.
Gotta check out 'November Rain'
"You Could Be Mine" from T2!
Slash isn’t the most technical guitarist, but he has a feel and melodic skills like no other.
Technical or not.....he is easily in the top 3 guitarists ever.
I mean, dude has a whole series of a video game where he's the end boss to beat.
@@Uriel77200 Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton
@@voodoocustompickups2547 's/Eric Clapton/David Gilmour/g'
"best" is sooo subjective. If you like a style of music your gonna lean that way. There are so many great guitarist and just because YOUR list has certain people on it doesnt mean that the list of others is invalid. Personal preference has a lot to do with top 10 lists. Pioneers, catalog of music, technical ability, live ability, songwriting skills and on and on. If someone thinks Slash is top 3 doesnt mean he isnt just because YOU dont think its correct, very subjective. Too much music to put other people's lists down
Shannon hoon from blind melon does backing vocals on this !!! You have to check out blind melon the best ever !!
RIP Shannon. Great singer gone way too soon!
Theres another person singing on the song. Was a good friend of Axls's called Shannon Hoon. First song written when Guns N Roses formed in 1985
Shannon was his cousin...but he later died
@@alexanderjalowiecki7357 No he wasn't. Axl was a friend of his sister Anna and then they became friends. Got your information wrong there I'm afraid.
The vocal layering was done with Blind Melon's lead vocalist Shannon Hoon who sings an octave higher than Rose in this song.
I gather we're doing the rest of the trilogy first, but…
Early vote for "Civil War" (And "Pretty Tied Up", but that's just for fun".)
ua-cam.com/video/_AOaq8Pc7Kw/v-deo.html civil war by Brad and lex
@@mm37too Literally only NINE days ago and I even commented. My brain is leaking. Sigh. (Thanks, though.)
I’m sorry Lex but Axl Roses voice is the best as well
Lex' reaction to slash' solos are everything to me 😍
As someone else has said the next in the trilogy is "Estranged "
Don’t do the cheesy video though 🤦♂️
Don't cry alt lyrics part 4 ?
Wait until you see Axl Rose sing this live.
My Michelle is a great GNR song to check out. Thanks for another great reaction guys. Much love.
Shannon Hoon, the late singer of Blind Melon sang on this track w/ Axl Rose...
GNR had backing vocals from both Duff McKagan (bass) & Izzy Stradlin (rhythm guitar)
Nobody stretches they’re voice out like him
**Maynard from TOOL, enters the chat**
@@2Quietus *he doesnt, Axl can go 6 octaves*
@@blue-tr4zk That'd be great if we were talking Octaves. Try to keep up, Mr. Pedantic.
If u watch the video you'll understand/get it more...much ❤ love
Slash is one of the goats don't forget it... he inspired generations 🙌
The ending has always reminded me of a mosquito flying around my head.
My suggestion for your next GnR reaction is Rocket Queen. You'll love the hard transition in the song.
Actually that’s not all Axl Rose Shannon moon from the group Blind Melon RIP did the backing vocals for that song
Shannon Hoon didn't sing the baritone notes. That was Axl.
Also there is two different versions of don’t cry
2:48 One of the best "Drops" in Power-Ballad history.
This was a separate video you guys never did this on the live right? 🤔
Right!
@@BradAndLex Many more GNR bangers/ bumpers to do.🤣✌️
We need MUSIC VIDEOS 😃
It's hard to overstate how huge G&R was for the brief moment in time prior to their implosion. Seriously, what they have recorded puts them way way way up there. What could have been if they'd stayed clean and Axl hadn't been a crazy person (allegedly).
I don't think I would label him crazy, dude had a rough life. The fact that he is still alive is impressive.
1988-1991 they were arguably the biggest band in the world.
@@thetheRedundant For sure...
I respectfully disagree, I do not think Axl is crazy. Axl had a rough childhood, which had probably badly scarred him for life. It seems that it had taken him many years to find peace & to finally be happy. GnR are clean these days, they are still very successful, they are also happy.
Axl Rose was harmonizing with Richard Shannon Hoon, the former lead singer of Blind Melon.
See in the video it shows kind of a break up song but music is always open to interpretation
Shannon Hoon is the vocals that makes this song. He passed away in '95 and his band "Blind Melon" changed my life. Every song on the first album is full of deep lyrics.
Like Shannon. Or liked. Very sad. But he most Definitely didn’t MAKE this song. 😂. I get he changed your life….which is why music is so great.
Give props to Axl for even having him on the song. It would have been a big hit no matter who sang background. Axl Made Shannon. Both from same town, along w/Izzy.
Shannon has been missed tho!!!
Keep on dreamin’ boy, ‘cause when you stop dreamin’ it’s time to die…
Idk if that message is to someone, Or if your just making a comment in genera?? But, it’s true!!!
@@keithwessel3531 It's a lyric from a Blind Melon song. Over your head.
@@mikesmelon5714 aaaah. So true!!
Slash is an amazing guitarist 💙 but 1 reason it might sound slightly different to usual, is that he down tunes all of his guitar notes by half a step
So the E string becomes a D sharp string etc
Very uncommon!!
But Slash also has a great understanding of what can and can't work, he even uses the Chromatic scales more often than most other guitarists, notes that can be considered risky or not suitable etc
Add his natural talent & ability... & u have 1 of the most complete guitar players of all time
Many guitarists might seem technically superior, and some are, but slash can play at the top end of technicality, while maintaining the emotion & feel of the music... The soul of the song remains
He never gets so technical he sounds robotic almost
1 last thing that Slash does & sets him apart..
Half step bends!
It's subtle but if u remove it he would sound far more like other guitarists.
We all hear his big obvious full note bends 💙 but he bends many notes just a little, even some of the faster notes get a slight string bend...
I can't say I know of any other great who implements this the way slash has
Anyway
Watched sooo many of ur reactions over the last week or 2
Enjoy u pair x
Oh yeah GnR Don't Cry
Telling you, GnR's best love song is "I used to love her".
It was a about his dog
@@Uriel77200 I know, but they don't know that. Thanks for ruining it.
@@Uriel77200 Still a panty dropper. Seen it in real time. LOL
My father told me when I was a kid that song reminds him of my mother
Nah..
Think About You...love song to heroin
Locomotive, Pretty Tied Up, Estranged, You Could Be Mine, Mr Brownstone, Nightrain...
So beautiful, very good!
"I will still be thinking of you and the times we had, baby"
November rain and estranged!!! Official videos tho....
That's not Axl layered, he's singing with Shannon Hoon of Blind Mellon. Believe it or not it's one of the first songs they ever wrote as a band. Before Appetite for destruction.
There’s actually a really cool live performance in youtube with Shannon !!
Y'all should do motley Crue live wire
“It’s odd”??!!!. Well that’s a different take then I’ve heard since this song first came out. 🤨
You are absolutely correct about Slash. I highly suggest you check out his version of the godfather theme. EPIC!
I'm going to be 51 , and still rocking out the guns and roses 🌹, best rock group 😎 ever,
Great ear. Axl almost always dubbed his own voice
Estranged is a great song
For a real mind trip you should check out “Coma” Its 10 minutes of a bad dream on steroids 🎧 🔥
you would have taken a differnt angle to the song watching the video not think it was a lullaby or spiritual
Give a chance to alternate version of this song and 1987 version axl uses his voice different Lex can love it
in an article, Axle said he was super stoned when he held that ending note.
"Estranged" GnR my favorite
React to dead horse and nightrain plsssss🙏🙏🙏!!!
When it comes to: Learning my people with good big hearts ♥️ be limitless. Don’t limited your life or Knowledge. It doesn’t matter what color you are: Mexican, white, black, Chinese. Etc. be limitless
Your Guns n Roses reactions are “can’t-miss” to me now..you two always do a great job very entertaining🤟🏼👏🏼 And Just think you guy’s still haven’t reacted to what’s gonna be(based on my extensive analysis)your favorite Guns and Roses track “Mr.Brownstone” and another really good one is “Better”..just the regular studio version’s with those that’s all you’ll need easy..keep up the great work guy’s channel sounds great👍🏼
One of my fav songs...
What type of music "YKWIM" cap has been listening too.
The constant "What's It about"?
Does the music he listens to don't have a subject matter?
If you watch more reactions from him you'll realize he doesn't understand symbolisms or metaphors or anything that isn't literal. He doesn't have an imagination or creative bone in his body
There are two versions of this song, with very different lyrics (the Alternate Lyrics version, cleverly named, huh?). I'm not sure which I like better. They have different feels.
Yes! I actually prefer the a.v, but i'm glad they both exist
Do knockin on heaveans door but the live version
Lex, you're really going to like Slash's solo on November Rain!
Gnr best band ever, to bad axels ego tore them apart after only like 6/7 years
You gotta do Blind Melon next. 'Tones of Home', 'Change', 'No Rain' in any particular order.
I guess you did all three songs on the live show so November Rain and it’s 4567432 solo’s should be next.
They didn't stream this one. This is a straight upload reaction.
He didn't want her to not cry because he was breaking up with her he wanted her not to cry because he was trying to kill himself and she stopped him
the truth behind the song so few seem aware of
Slash' guitar work on Guns and Roses albums is phenomenal he has a great ear for melody his choice of notes is just on point there's a lot of players that came after guns that are influenced in some way by him, he's definitely my number one player show me a player that's wrote as many solos that are so recogniseable
💯 last true hard rock guitar icon
Rip Shannon Hoon. Such an amazing talent!
Um yeah you missed a great video
Their is two versions of this song each one is on the use your illusion albums, this particular version is the original which is on use your illusion 1 , the other version is on use your illusion 2 give that one a listen
Slash’s solos are very melodic & uses timing between notes to go along with the song. Not speed to pack in as many notes as possible to look impressive. Timing, phrasing of the individual note and if this makes any sense necessary silence or pausing before the next note to emphasize the correct most fitting note. Speed isn’t everything. Sometimes the best lick or note, is the one you decide not to play. Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top said something along the lines of that. Another master of melodic solos. Basically, sometimes less is more.
exactly... instruments= emotions personified= almost as if they are voices in and of themselves
This song also included Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon Singing.
React to November Rain!
Watch the official video!
Lex knows slash play rather than being super technical with fancy licks, has more of a feel style, very melodic, with notes that evoke emotion from the heart instead of wonder the mind. He reminds me of David Gilmore, or Santana, very feel like with tasty melodies.
The background vocals on the Use your Illusion albums are Shannon Hoon of Blind melon.
This is the MTV Generation! The music video said more than the lyrics! To me this song was about his struggle with addictions and his rebirth! (Recovery)
Axl and Slash# legends
Slash is a true guitar hero! He is one of the few guitarist that you can recognize just from the way he plays and by his sound.
This song still makes me cry.
You 2 should do “free bird” by lynard skynyrd. Best guitar solo ever, And is the best break up song ever;}>
"Do not cry"
Lmao
Fun fact Axl is wearing a Nirvana Hat in the music video.
Wow you need the video so bad
Breakup song
That last note is the longest note that's been held officially on record. I think it's something like 23 or 33 seconds the note was held. Thanks
You really ought to watch all three videos in the trilogy. Also, that's Duff who he is harmonizing with.
No, it's not.
There are two more versions of this song. The original unpolished demo and the alt lyrics version on Use Your illusion 2. They are all awesome.
From 1987 to 1995 Guns N Roses were in my opinion the greatest band working.
you two need to react the alternate version of this song, its the best version in my opinion
