All three videos tell a short story called Without You by Del James. In this one hes saying dont cry because hes trying to get back with her after he cheated. In November rain you find out that she couldnt get over it and she killed herself. The wedding scene in November Rain is his dream. Only the funeral is real.
@@plagasvon2399 No, patience was 1989 and Dont Cry and Nov. Rain came out in 91 with Use Your Illusion. Patience was about Axl's ex girlfriend at the end of their relationship.
I love the beginning of Blind Melon's 2nd album. It was literally two songs back to back. "Hello/Goodbye" and "Galaxy". No break between songs.... Cajun jazz style sound: "I'm entering a frame, bombarded by indecision. Where a man like me can easily let the day get out of control. Down this far in the quarter, But I'd rather be caught around now Instead of, oh say, 'round the month of June But if I can leave with a little bit of explanation Then, anywhere in the world I choose to go........" If he has the CD, he'd be able to implement the trick to get the pre-verses before the Intro.
'Estranged' is a masterpiece. Fun fact about this video is singing with Axel on the rooftop is the future lead for the great band Blind Melon's Shannon Hoon RIP. 'Change' is a great song. Of course everyone knows 'No Rain'.
I just watched Estranged for the first time and considered that it was Axel's awareness of everyone around him always onboard with trying to save him - and that he doesn't help them much...
I really miss Shannon Shannon was the one that you heard doing that real high octave. He was in the band called blind melon. And they're most popular song was called no rain. Rest in peace to Shannon
The shown death of Axl is a metaphor for the old Axl and his past life and mistakes made and the the baby coming back up in the end is a metaphor for Axl being reborn into the new person he has become now.
At some point you should check out Civil War from GN'R and Mr Brownstone (no video, only audio.) Mr Brownstone is a bunch of double entendres, you have to decipher what they are talking about. For me, the funny part of Mr Brownstone is when I was 9 or 10 years old I would listen to it and sing along loudly having no idea what I was singing about and then when I went back and listened to it again 10 years later I was so shocked that my parents didn't take the tape away from me and ground me for life but I honestly don't think they realized what was being said either😂
Definitely needs to listen to Civil War, it's right up his ally. And yes, Mr. Brownstone is in that same category as Welcome to the Jungle and Dr. Feelgood, super catchy songs that most people would rather not know what the lyrics are actually about.
No I think he should do "It's so easy." That video is crazy and he could relate on a level since he has toured all over and understands the lifestyle. If you GNR fans haven't seen that one then definitely check it but I would love to see his reaction to that
Symbology. The concept is symbology and not literal. Unhealthy self destructive unions that end bad. Slash's car was the relationship that he and his girl are in. There is turmoil and infighting so he drives it (the relationship) off the road and into a self destructive fiery resolve that there is no turning back from. Apply this formula to the whole video and the trilogy and it makes much more sense.
One of my favourite bands EVER!!! There are two versions of this song, you definitely need to find the original tapes, use your illusion one and two, they are the only band to release two albums at the same time. I hope you enjoy!!!!
@@ShazzaUK70 I wanted to see them when they were coming to Montreal but luckily I didn’t cause what a shitshow that turned out to be. And of course I missed them a few years ago when they came to Edmonton but oh well 🤷♂️ 😢
Axels voice and Slashes guitar are epic in every song. You must listen all three and put them together. In the early 90s we were all listening GNR and was one of the bends my growing up.
I love so many of Guns 'N Roses songs! One of my other favorites that I think is sometimes forgotten about is "You Could Be Mine" off of the Terminator 2 soundtrack. I love that one too!
I'm a little late, but enjoyed watching and wanted to chime in... Didn't you see? Slash did his solo at the top of the cliff, after the crash...he BAILED before it went over, in my mind. 😆
Estranged is officially “Part 4” of the trilogy, because after November Rain, the lead female was no longer available for filming, so Part 3 was never made… Had it gone as planned, all 3 videos were going to be put together into one piece, with the scenes shown in chronological order… It was supposed to be included as part of a documentary movie called “Perfect Crime” None of this happened…
He was engaged to that actress (Supermodel Stephanie Seymour). It was so weird because they had JUST broken up when November Rain. The whole wedding scene was when they were still engaged, soooo. That's ANOTHER twist in these videos.
OMG! That's Shannon Hoon! I'm floored! As a GnR fan AND a Blind Melon fan for DECADES, I never knew Shannon Hoon was in this video or even did vocals on this track... here's the facts..."Who is the guest singer in Dont Cry? Shannon Hoon "Don't Cry" features Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon as a co-lead vocalist. Hoon sings an octave higher than Rose, and his voice is placed further back in the mix; Hoon also appears in the music video, singing alongside Rose during the helipad scenes."
That's Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon in the blue shirt and shorts. Rip Shannon. This is my third favorite GNR song after Patience and Sweet Child O Mine! ❤
Mr Black Pegasus I've been loving your reactions my favorite is Gun n Rose's Since the 80s I Checout your recent video you made love it like the other guys voice too nice and deep. I called u Mr for respect i respect you. Carry on 😊
When the double album 'Use Your Illusions" was released, which this trilogy is from, we were gifted so many different genres and styles of songs. There are these rock ballads, sure, but also many rocking songs, like the ones you know or remember and which were from their debut album.
I agree, out of the trilogy "Don't Cry" is the less memorable of the three, a classic late 80's rock ballad like there were so many. I think "Estranged" is considered by many fans as the most solid but I can't forget Slash's iconic solo in "November Rain" and the dramatic operatic finale. That said, "Civil War" is my favorite G'n'R song.
It’s a short story about a rockstar living the rockstar lifestyle and he cheats on his girl, she can’t deal with the hurt and kills herself and he goes crazy mentally afterwards and his name on the headstone is symbolism for part of him dying after her suicide
There's an alternative version of this video for Don't Cry the video is the same but the lyrics are different you should try reacting to it as well and it's called version 2 I think you'll find this other version kind of neat too. You should also try these songs I love as well (My Michelle), (You're Crazy) (Mr Brownstone), (Used To Love Her), (The Garden with Alice Cooper) & (Civil War). Hope you will LUV these as much as I do!!!!
Of the three songs, Estranged is the best, in my opinion. One of the best of the Use Your Illusion albums. Definitely worth a listen. Breakdown is probably my favorite off those albums, though. Amazing song.
I had a bootleg CD that had a more acoustic version of November Rain on it that was absolutely gorgeous! Somewhere along the way it got lost (I’m 63 so many moves ago). I wish I had that CD often.
You made me think about it... this was 'the' album of 1994-1995 for me - my boyfriend would always sing 'don't you dry' - he was moving back to Austria permanently and I loved my life here - no 'illusion' about giving up all I worked for and the stability I created for myself... I'm with you on this one (Paradise City & Sweet Child.. being the vibe I loved) - and I'd never seen the video - and you prompted me to go and check out 'Estranged' - also had never seen the video... watching your reaction videos have made me realise that these three songs are about Axl's mental health and what they all endure as their lives unfold - possibly, at the time, Axl may have believed that if Slash was gone, he would be too?
Velvet Revolver is a GnR reference too. Rose petals have a sort of velvety texture and revolver is obvious. Three of the Illusions era members, Slash, Duff and Sorum are in VR I wish they'd been able to blend thevtwo versions for the video. Each set of lyrics is wonderful and i often mix them up myself lol
Guys guys guys....I know a band that y'all have yet to cover here.....Jackyl. They were the OG rebel rock band of the 80's and 90's. They threw a concert in a K-mart parking lot, just because they wouldn't sell their music. Seriously. Jackyl is a southern rock legend. You ever heard a rock solo, played with a chainsaw? "The Lumberjack"
estranged is my favorite of the trilogy, and prob a top 5 gnr song for me. it's a wild ride though. the storm is getting closer, and the waves they get so high.
Look at "live tokyo", they play all those songs there and so much better live, with absolutely wonderful backup singers. And Axel had an absolutely amazing voice live back then, along with Slash's guitar playing, it was absolutely amazing
November Rain is my favourite song by anyone ever. They weren't the most functional band but have a good catalogue of music. If you like Slash's guitar playing he was/is also in Velvet Revolver who have a great sound.
In actuality, this song was written about a breakup between Axl and his girlfriend before they were famous. It was Izzy's ex and Axl started dating her. She broke up with him and he sat down on the curb and started to cry. She then started to console him by saying, don't cry...
I'm happy with you doing you. Enjoy the ride.
All three videos tell a short story called Without You by Del James. In this one hes saying dont cry because hes trying to get back with her after he cheated. In November rain you find out that she couldnt get over it and she killed herself. The wedding scene in November Rain is his dream. Only the funeral is real.
I'm gonna ask you , does patience tie into this scheme as well?
@@plagasvon2399 No, patience was 1989 and Dont Cry and Nov. Rain came out in 91 with Use Your Illusion. Patience was about Axl's ex girlfriend at the end of their relationship.
@aragorn1ring Well slap my ass and call me a bit$h that was a great answer was a reach but was curious
@@plagasvon2399nope
Oh...
Back in the 80's and 90's all music videos were mini films, great time to be alive. Cheers
You are so right. This is why its so important to react to original videos. Live videos can be done as a second helping.
That is Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon singing with them in the plaid shirt. May he RIP. His voice was needed for this song.❤
I loved Shannon's voice. I love Blind Melon. It's been awhile since I've listened to them . Now I have to . Lol
I love the beginning of Blind Melon's 2nd album. It was literally two songs back to back. "Hello/Goodbye" and "Galaxy". No break between songs....

Blind Melon and the Lemonheads were among my favorite bands as a kid.
I knew he looked familiar. Thanks
Civil War by Guns 'n Roses 👌🏼❤️
Amazing!!
One of my faves. 💕
Civil War is a great song !!!
Excellent song!!!
'Estranged' is a masterpiece. Fun fact about this video is singing with Axel on the rooftop is the future lead for the great band Blind Melon's Shannon Hoon RIP. 'Change' is a great song. Of course everyone knows 'No Rain'.
I was today years old when I learned these were part of a trilogy. I've loved these songs since I was a kid and never had any idea 😅.
Same here bud
Me too
Ditto
Dito
Same here bro grew up with this and barely finding out
"Don't Cry" is like an appetizer "November Rain" is like the main course "Estranged" is like a hell of a desert
I just watched Estranged for the first time and considered that it was Axel's awareness of everyone around him always onboard with trying to save him - and that he doesn't help them much...
I always thought coma fit in there somewhere too.
mm, sand
"Patience" will always be my favorite gunsNroses song ❤
I really miss Shannon Shannon was the one that you heard doing that real high octave. He was in the band called blind melon. And they're most popular song was called no rain. Rest in peace to Shannon
The shown death of Axl is a metaphor for the old Axl and his past life and mistakes made and the the baby coming back up in the end is a metaphor for Axl being reborn into the new person he has become now.
Guns & Roses was the background music of my youth! They hold a special place in my heart.
Everyone in the rock scene from 87 88 gnr definitely holds a big part of their heart

Rocket queen, My Michelle, Paradise city, Locomotive,
No I think he should do "It's so easy." That video is crazy and he could relate on a level since he has toured all over and understands the lifestyle. If you GNR fans haven't seen that one then definitely check it but I would love to see his reaction to that
Mr brownstone is their absolut worse song ever. Love Guns n Roses but that song is the only one i really hate.
@@haadrinpsy love them too, the one I’m not a fan of is the garden of eden, and a few from the spaghetti incident
Do all 3 with us!!! Estrange is my favorite!!!
Yes I’ll watch all 3 with you!!
I would definitely watch you react to the gnr trilogy marathon!
This song is freaking incredible
Ooo, this takes me back great song and great albums, Use Your Illusion I and II.❤🔥❤

Guns and Roses, what a great band
.I'm a kid again
Paradise City, Sweet child of mine, Mr. Brownstone, Welcome to the jungle & Knocking on heavens door. My favorites!
One of my favourite bands EVER!!! There are two versions of this song, you definitely need to find the original tapes, use your illusion one and two, they are the only band to release two albums at the same time. I hope you enjoy!!!!
I will never forget seeing them play at the Milton Keynes Bowl for the Use your Illusion tour back in the day. Absolutely fantastic 🎉
@@ShazzaUK70 I wanted to see them when they were coming to Montreal but luckily I didn’t cause what a shitshow that turned out to be. And of course I missed them a few years ago when they came to Edmonton but oh well 🤷♂️ 😢
I can't tell you how many times as a kid me and my friends tried to hold the end of the songs last note with him every time we heard it❤😂
Slash just out here completing side quests 😂
Can’t wait to see the third one
Don't Cry and Patience are both beautiful GnR songs. Civil War is a must hear.
Don't cry is a good song, but November rain is an epic Masterpiece. You cant try to compare them.
Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon fame, sang backing vocals on this song. Axl and Shannon were friends from the same city in Indiana.
Check out my blind melon reaction on NicknLex
Axels voice and Slashes guitar are epic in every song. You must listen all three and put them together. In the early 90s we were all listening GNR and was one of the bends my growing up.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but Stephanie Seymour (brunette) was engaged to Axl Rose. She was one of the most famous super models.
Yes!!! My teen years all wrapped up in one band!! Class of 89!!
Awesome! Same here 🙂
This is the First video of a trilogy. Second is "November Rain" and third is "Estranged." 💚🤙🏼
Maybe you'd better watch the video that you are commenting on. LOL
Estranged is my favorite and what a way to end the story
Just wanted to take a minute to let you know that you are fast becoming among my top 3 favorite reaction channels. Keep up the great work! 🤘😎
It's all metaphors for lost love. Nobody died, you're taking it too literally. ,😊
Estranged is my personal favorite and is a superb video as well as a kick ass song.
RIP Shannon Hoon.
Thank you for that I was sitting here trying to think of his name. Shannon Hoon was such a talent who left way to early.
*estranged* is a Must. *Guns N' Roses - Rocket Queen* Live in tokyo is a master piece 😱😱😱😱👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Love classic rock g&r has always been a fave
I love so many of Guns 'N Roses songs! One of my other favorites that I think is sometimes forgotten about is "You Could Be Mine" off of the Terminator 2 soundtrack. I love that one too!
Estranged is my favorite of the trilogy. I think it sounds the best. The video is outstanding man I miss the '80s and '90s
This is my all time favourite Guns N' Roses song. Instant chills and hard nips.
This is one of my favorite songs from them
Civil War from use your illusion one is still my favorite❤ I think you'll resonate with that track😊
These guys were ENORMOUS in the late 80s
*Estranged* is my favorite Guns N' Roses Video Clip 👍👍🎁🎁👍👍
You would love the lyrics/story telling to "My Michelle" and "Mr Brownstone"
One of my old school favorites
Aww some Guns their run wasn't long like 3yrs and in that 3yrs they became not only The Most Dangerous Band in The World but the Biggest One🎸❤
Yes 🙌🏽 Estranged! You gotta do Estranged! That’s my personal favorite of the 3! ❤
The guitar Slash threw off the cliff hangs in The Rainbow Room in Cali.
First song that they wrote as guns and roses , brilliant song
i knew it was pre-appetite, but did not know it was the first song they wrote together. that's pretty cool.
Guns & Roses - Coma
I love Coma . Also Dead Horse is good.
Love this ❤🤟
Great song and another great reaction!!
I'm a little late, but enjoyed watching and wanted to chime in...
Didn't you see? Slash did his solo at the top of the cliff, after the crash...he BAILED before it went over, in my mind. 😆
Shannon Hoon( R.I.P.) from BLIND MELON 🍈, also from Indiana does backup vocals and is in the video, on the rooftop
Estranged is officially “Part 4”
of the trilogy, because after November Rain, the lead female was no longer available for filming, so Part 3 was never made…

There’s actually 2 versions of this song. Each one was featured on Use Your Illusion I & II.
GnR's supermodel budget was enormous.
Overall budget
He was engaged to that actress (Supermodel Stephanie Seymour). It was so weird because they had JUST broken up when November Rain. The whole wedding scene was when they were still engaged, soooo. That's ANOTHER twist in these videos.
I love this song!
Estranged is absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻🏆🏆🏆

Love Shannon
The brunette is Stephanie Seymour. She was a popular model and Axl’s girlfriend at the time.
I’m 32 and I still love 80s and 90s music
Mr Black Pegasus I've been loving your reactions my favorite is Gun n Rose's Since the 80s
I Checout your recent video you made love it like the other guys voice too nice and deep. I called u Mr for respect i respect you. Carry on 😊
Guns N' Roses always make top tier music videos
I agree November Rain is probably my Top Guns and Roses Song.
Civil war....i concur
Loved the awkward silence at the end of the song.....lol
One of my favourite songs ever! ❤
This one has the Lead Singer from Blind Melon in the video, Shannon Hoon, Axel Rose actually helped him get his start.
Estranged!!!! Must react

You should watch Estranged that's my favorite ❤❤
Of the three songs, Estranged is the best, in my opinion. One of the best of the Use Your Illusion albums. Definitely worth a listen. Breakdown is probably my favorite off those albums, though. Amazing song.
I've always loved GNR. I'm here for this. Let's go!
I had a bootleg CD that had a more acoustic version of November Rain on it that was absolutely gorgeous! Somewhere along the way it got lost (I’m 63 so many moves ago). I wish I had that CD often.
Phil Lynnot : was a GREAT bass player , riff maker , song and lyricks maker...
This is my fav GnR song
You made me think about it... this was 'the' album of 1994-1995 for me - my boyfriend would always sing 'don't you dry' - he was moving back to Austria permanently and I loved my life here - no 'illusion' about giving up all I worked for and the stability I created for myself...

Because I noticed in the thumbnail and because it’s one of my favorite 80’s songs and bands I recommend listening to Never Tear us Apart by INXS.
Velvet Revolver is a GnR reference too. Rose petals have a sort of velvety texture and revolver is obvious. Three of the Illusions era members, Slash, Duff and Sorum are in VR
I wish they'd been able to blend thevtwo versions for the video. Each set of lyrics is wonderful and i often mix them up myself lol
I love Guns N’Roses!!
The baby at the end was him being reincarnated
Guys guys guys....I know a band that y'all have yet to cover here.....Jackyl. They were the OG rebel rock band of the 80's and 90's. They threw a concert in a K-mart parking lot, just because they wouldn't sell their music. Seriously. Jackyl is a southern rock legend. You ever heard a rock solo, played with a chainsaw? "The Lumberjack"
I love Jacky’s! When will rain! What a great band
It’s about death & rebirth. The baby at the beginning has blue eyes, & at the end has green eyes.
Never knew there was a trilogy & I was around when the albums came out & owned them.
90's ftw!
hey my buddy used to quote Ac/Dc as "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief". we grew up without lyrics lol
estranged is my favorite of the trilogy, and prob a top 5 gnr song for me. it's a wild ride though. the storm is getting closer, and the waves they get so high.
Look at "live tokyo", they play all those songs there and so much better live, with absolutely wonderful backup singers. And Axel had an absolutely amazing voice live back then, along with Slash's guitar playing, it was absolutely amazing
😂 love this reaction
Multi talented bad ass band
November Rain is my favourite song by anyone ever. They weren't the most functional band but have a good catalogue of music. If you like Slash's guitar playing he was/is also in Velvet Revolver who have a great sound.
BP u have the best reaction videos
In actuality, this song was written about a breakup between Axl and his girlfriend before they were famous. It was Izzy's ex and Axl started dating her. She broke up with him and he sat down on the curb and started to cry. She then started to console him by saying, don't cry...
