The most perceptive statement I've heard from anyone in a long time. He's also the greatest frontal in the history of rock....but such a primadona thats not even worth it in the long run. Check out the Guns N Roses Behind the Music and spend an hour just feeling for what all the other band members put up dealing with him. Also look up Metallica feud with Axl which is very amusing. On the other hand Axl and Slash were both the best at what they do and all their songs are worth checking out.
My friend paid $2,000 each for GnR VIP tickets about 4 years ago (whenever they did the first tour back with Slash) and all they got was a swag bag and a tour of the stage where they could take pictures of the set…. I was like “No meet and greet? No pictures with the band? No autograph?” She said no cause Axel has anxiety and doesn’t meet fans…. UMMMM for $2,000 ($4,000 for the two tickets) he better be taking me out to lunch and rubbing my feet
only seen them twice in concert.first with body count and ice t opening for them then gnr opening for the rolling stones. for the first my friend had backstage passes so i got to met them and axl is definitely a dive he didn't even pretend to care about anyone there Slash and Duff were super cool and ice t and all of body count would really talk to you and actually have a conversation with you
They were the mountain top of Rock and Roll IMO. Nothing has been done since that equals or tops them. It's been all downhill. Now the only thing that sells is Jingle crap.
I love that Brad concentrates in the lyrics so much and lex just enjoys the sound. You guys are the perfect combo of music appreciation. I love watching you two.
@@flickernoise777 I remember seeing that on the news! Damn, I never thought I'd see anyone tell a personal story about being there. I am way down in Texas. Cool that you were there, and not cool at the same time. If you know what I mean. lol. But mega awesome that Metallica got yall to come back for free the next year, to make up for Axel's bullshit I guess. He is a case study for all kinds of psych classes. LOL
Axl and Slash are one of the best duos of all time! If Axl wasn’t such a diva they would’ve stayed together🤣! Slash is a monster. One of the best ever.
That is a pretty accurate assessment. My parents have it and it’s wall to wall bangers. It’s disappointing that the people requesting songs replace their brains with Billboard Charts. It’d be great to see a reaction to Its So Easy or Rocket Queen
Appetite for Destruction is in my top 3 albums to have if stranded on a deserted island. Hard to say that about almost any album. Back then you had to buy the whole dang album to hear the songs you want. Sure you could buy it as a single on 45 record or a cassette single, but most time was cheaper to buy the whole thing
But see if you talk about November rain then they have to do the trilogy which is you start with don’t cry followed by November rain and then estranged
THAT SONG IS A PIEVE OF SHIT SONG … everyone who grew up in that era hated November rain cause it was too SAD AND DEPRESSING AND TOO SLOW… only reason the video got air play cause a supermodel was in the video and that was a big deal then
@@hotmail305 that song is amazing and I love it. It will forever hold a special place in my heart because my dad loved guns and roses and he also died in November.
Met Duff and Slash in 1988 in Columbus,Oh. They were playing the next night at Buckeye Music Center, and were out on the town the night before. Just me and my buddy Dave were sitting out back at Papa Joes on Highstreet and in walks Duff n Slash with security AND GIRLS, and sits at the picknik table right next to us. No one else is on the back patio. They invited us to join them....the next 24 hours is History. Probably the greatest 24 hours in my entire life!!!! Both, great guys.
@@klauss1995 Back in the 80's most called this metal. Some hard core metal heads (like Slayer fans) may have called it Hard Rock. I can edit it if it hurts your feelings?
@@rossmudie9298 This was the cause of some of the tension back in the day. Slash would be so high for shows he couldn't play his guitar. Axl wasn't into that life and would get pissed (rightfully so).
I had the opportunity to see them live back when they were still touring. They opened with welcome to the jungle, and the entire stadium was pitch black, all the lights were out. When the beat came in after the guitar intro, the whole place lit up with fireworks, and gigantic inflatable monsters from the inside of the Appetite for Destruction album cover were floating over the crowd. The crowd went absolutely nuts and was my favorite part of any concert that i've been to. To this day the memory of that when i listen to the song makes my hair stand on end. It was an absolutely spectacular show and i'm so glad i got to see them before they broke up. They're just as good, if not better live than recorded.
This takes me back to my childhood.. sitting in front of my cassette deck, listening to my local rock station waiting to hit record as soon as this song came on.... 80s kids understand
Hey there, fun personal fact, I’m in this video , along with thousands of others. Lol. The color portion was filmed at Giants Stadium 1988, me and my best friend were 50 feet from stage. I cannot believe this was over 30 hrs ago! This was fun to watch you two enjoy this classic GnR.
This was the funniest reaction video I've ever seen! The young lady looked overwhelmed by Slash on the guitar her enjoyment was intoxicating. As for the gentleman, when you said at the beginning... nice simple beat you can cling to!... I laughed my arse off, just wait for it buddy you'd better be clinging bloody tight!!!.. I'm a GNFR fan and very much enjoyed your reaction video. Thankyou for your content. X
U guys have the best reaction site, IMHO. Lexi is so genuine in her response to great guitar licks...her pure enjoyment is infectious, one can't help but enjoy her commentary.
I was at this show, 1st row off the field just stage left. Great show, Deep Purple came on later then somebody set the upper deck seats on fire during Smoke on the Water. Ending with Aerosmith. What a day ight.
I was in the black and white part of the video, filmed in England at the Monsters of Rock concert with Iron Maiden headlining. The crowd went mad when G n R came on and sadly two fans were crushed, but hell of a show.
Stevie Ray Vaughn will give you all the goose bumps from his guitar. One of the most profound artists taken too early. Not Metal but Blues, but every guitar player will give SRV his dues.
Will never forget when I first heard GNR around 87. Driven by Axls vocals and Slash’s incredible guitar, one of the greatest ROCK bands of all time. Appetite for Destruction was a ground breaking album.
Haha I LOVE that girls reaction I can tell that she really really enjoyed that song. That's the thing about guns n roses they will literally get you attacked to their music
Calling Axl a Diva is an understatement. Is temper Literally started at least one riot. And It was because of him (and the massive amount of drugs and alcohol they were all doing) the band broke up. He would show up hours late for practice. And an hour late for live shows. They were all messed up and erratic because of the drugs and alcohol but he took it to a whole other level. And he is one of those artist types (the mood swings, the pretension and the inflated ego).
1 riot? I think Axel caused a lot of riots. I remember watching the news in the early 90's of all the riots caused in several cities because of him. I know Axel was crazy but boy did he make it interesting. What a time it was! Lol. I love Guns N Roses. Went to their concert in '93 they performed with Metallica as well.
Really dig you guys channel. I appreciate how you described the manner that you listen to music with a basic and structured beat and the fact that it seems a bit messy and/or chaotic when they are going in on the song wildly. I like it all and enjoy Lexs enthusiasm when she is taken for a music ride. She makes me laugh. Stay blessed.
Well...I'd say Alcohol & Drugs were definitely up there too. But yes Axle showing up hours late for practices and over an hour late to shows! I remember seeing them in the late 80's in L.A. at the Whiskey & Rainbow room. It was crazy! Crazy then...but definitely the best times of my life!! I went almost every weekend to LA to see bands!! Insane 🎼🎸🤘😁
I think it was more complicated than that. Grunge was killing hair metal already and Axl was desperate to work with guys like Cobain while Cobain wanted nothing to do with Axl. The UYI tour was likely the final nail in the coffin. They bit off more than they could chew and the dramas and chaos of being on the road finished them off. While Axl was an asshole, it's unfair to pin everything on him when everyone else in the band was off their heads on every drug and drink they could get their hands on (according to Izzy, who returned for a few dates on the tour and was shocked by what they'd become).
Graduated in 1988 this whole album Appetite for Destruction was everywhere all day all night….I think it’s sold so far over 30 million copies world wide..
you two are making me feel young again with your reactions. Yall are like back in the day and how it was listening to these songs when they first came out. awesome, keep up the good work
Only 1 problem, Metallica opened up for GNR....people were leaving, because Metallica was over 2 hours of Ridiculous Fire 🔥 & a lot of fans came for them....Axle was Furious Cursing at the thousands leaving...And Yes Lex, he was a little Diva then!! You guys are my Favorite reaction channel!! Lex needs a Metallica concert to let loose her inner Rock Child! 🎼🎸😊
Hell yeah! Was here for this one live for a change. The disappointment from Brad when he couldn't follow along at the end whilst lex went of her nut haha.
Since you've been listening to songs from the Appetite For Destruction album, might as well go with Sweet Child of Mine next. You will like the solo from that one.
@@datubeda I always group Sweet Child o’ Mine, Alive by Pearl Jam, and whichever Metallica song I’m feeling at the moment (Unforgiven, Master, Fade, etc.) as the Top 3 solos ever.
Girl, let it out! This entire song is a masterpiece but the last two minutes are perfection. It’s my favorite song to listen to at the gym, the ending really does get you moving. If you guys haven’t checked out November Rain yet, that one’s probably more Brad’s speed and it’s a beautiful song/video. Loved this reaction!
They did react to Sweet Child O' Mine on a livestream. It should be up on the channel soon, depending what order they upload. This song was during that same livestream where they did I believe four GnR songs.
I was crushing on that diva watching MTV after school all through puberty. So good seeing younger generations appreciating the great tunes I grew up with.
Okay I absolutely adore Lex rocking out during this. She's adorable. G&R is a great example of an amazing band whose glory was cut short by the issues of their front man. They were amazing, but they could have done so much more and never really had the chance.
Yep all the ones everyone has commented on are good. Don't think a video was ever made for this one, but one of my favorites off Appetite for Destruction was Mr. Brownstone.
I love you guys dynamic…how y’all pick up on different things in the same song. I knew in the last part Brad you’d be like nah, where Lexi you got amp‘d. Girl you got a lil rocker inside you. This reaction vid so satisfying! So glad to see this gen appreciate my gen music.
I grew up with Guns and Roses I just seen them in 2021 at Wrigley Field in Chicago I love rock and roll I was a teenager in the 70s and nothing in my mind replaces rock and roll Guns and Roses they make you feel alive and it's so exciting listening to axel and the rest of the guys they put on a great show all their music is great and it makes you feel inside alive and yes Goosebumps I feel so sorry for the kids today that didn't get the opportunity to live in one of the greatest heroes and that's the 70s as a teenager. Rock music is the boss you can tell the difference who's singing and there's instruments the music today there's no instruments how about that lead guitarist his name is Slash as far as I'm concerned he is one of the best guitar players in the world I love him I love Guns and Roses try to listen to the song Civil War estranged Welcome to the Jungle yesterday Sweet Child of Mine patience November Rain you could be mine that song was in Terminator 2 and Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted Guns and Roses to do that song for the movie Arnold Schwarzenegger is a big fan of Guns and Roses stick with rock and roll it will make you feel good inside
I believe Lex gives most UA-camrs goosebumps. She is so cool the way she moves with the music, and her facial expression is so cute. We love you girl. Brad, you're good, too.
Such a great arrangement. Love watching you guys. Lex has an innate ear for music and it's so refreshing. I subscribed too late so I haven't watched why you have had to stop yet. I don't want to. I have listened for a few years now so I'm upset. Wish you guys all the best.
Guns N Roses were some of the biggest rockstars ever. Almost every song is a powerhouse. My favorite is "You Could Be Mine", which had a strong tie-in with the Terminator 2 movie. Watch the official video!
The B&W Concert footage used in this Video, was shot in August 1988 at Donington Park UK. I am in there somewhere. It was announced immediately after the event concluded, that two people had died, due to crush injuries, during the GnR set.
Wait till you do "sweet child o'mine" "civil war" great reaction, always love the reaction. BTW you got to take Lex to a major rock show, she gets so hype, I love it.
Axl is a genius. He wrote the best songs ever. His creativity is out of this world. Cherry on top he had the talented Slash to add the perfect finish touch.
@@edwardgomez5616no he wasn't this is why no one likes izzy because yall overrate him. The whole band wrote the majority of the songs but the 2 main writers were axl and izzy. Izzy just wrote 2 songs by himself yall needa stop downplaying the members and realize all of them are the reason why gnr is legendary.
First Guns song I ever heard - 1986 In Tan Hill Pub (highest pub in England) and I was hooked for life ( I Was 18). Seen them twice live in the 90's. Epic.
Saw them in concert on this tour, had no clue who they were they opened for motley crue's girls girls girls tour in the early 80's, the show was awesome, they had a small set up and you could tell they were up and coming at the time. caught them a second time on the use your illusion tour in biloxi mississippi in the 90's Excellent show.
OMG. Girl, I love your excitement! You keep saying, "I didn't think it was possible". Welcome to the past. People are waking up to the fact that music has been dumbed down on purpose. You have such a long, incredible journey ahead of you. You will soon be wishing it was still 1977. So do the people that lived through it.
The coloured part of the video is them on tour with Aerosmith, the B&W part of the live footage is at Donnington Park in Leicester UK where sadly two fans lost their lives during GNR’s set.
saw them in the early 90s when they came to N.Z. It was Axls birthday and the whole crowd sang him happy birthday at Mt Smart stadium in South Auckland. Skidrow opened for them
"This Axl guy, I bet he's a diva." Girrrrrrrl, you have no clue.
Yea i chuckled to myself when she said that lol
She was on point lmao
This literally made me laugh out loud

Girl, let it out! This entire song is a masterpiece but the last two minutes are perfection. It’s my favorite song to listen to at the gym, the ending really does get you moving. If you guys haven’t checked out November Rain yet, that one’s probably more Brad’s speed and it’s a beautiful song/video. Loved this reaction!
Who cares what they’re talking about…the music/energy touches your soul.
Lex's smile the last few minutes........Pure Awesomeness!!!
“Sweet Child O’ Mine” will be your newest favorite if you liked this and welcome to the jungle. Best guitar riffs and song is about his daughter
You meen daughter of Don Everlyn🤣. It's writen bout Erin Everly, his wife at the time.
They did react to Sweet Child O' Mine on a livestream. It should be up on the channel soon, depending what order they upload. This song was during that same livestream where they did I believe four GnR songs.
Axl doesnt have a daughter.
Or One in a Million…lol
I was crushing on that diva watching MTV after school all through puberty. So good seeing younger generations appreciating the great tunes I grew up with.
🤣 Lex lit up for the second half of the song!
Brad, glad you partially liked it man! Keep going, there are more hits! 🎸
She never admits that Axl is her true infatuation.
Sometimes you just gotta feel the music, and stop overthinking the lyrics… sometimes they just don’t matter. It’s the feels.
Lyrics are last for it music and melody
HUGE HUGE HUGE in 1987, glad I was there...I really miss the freedom of the 80's...hell hole 2021
I love when lex gets totally rocked out and psyched.
Okay I absolutely adore Lex rocking out during this. She's adorable.
G&R is a great example of an amazing band whose glory was cut short by the issues of their front man. They were amazing, but they could have done so much more and never really had the chance.
Yep all the ones everyone has commented on are good. Don't think a video was ever made for this one, but one of my favorites off Appetite for Destruction was Mr. Brownstone.
Lex, you bee-bopping is so cute! Love watching you two and enjoying the memories. Thank you so very much!
I'm impressed how quickly you picked up on Axles diva energy!
I love you guys dynamic…how y’all pick up on different things in the same song. I knew in the last part Brad you’d be like nah, where Lexi you got amp‘d. Girl you got a lil rocker inside you. This reaction vid so satisfying! So glad to see this gen appreciate my gen music.
November Rain. Talk about a great guitar solo. The solo in that gives me chills every time.
I grew up with Guns and Roses I just seen them in 2021 at Wrigley Field in Chicago I love rock and roll I was a teenager in the 70s and nothing in my mind replaces rock and roll Guns and Roses they make you feel alive and it's so exciting listening to axel and the rest of the guys they put on a great show all their music is great and it makes you feel inside alive and yes Goosebumps I feel so sorry for the kids today that didn't get the opportunity to live in one of the greatest heroes and that's the 70s as a teenager. Rock music is the boss you can tell the difference who's singing and there's instruments the music today there's no instruments how about that lead guitarist his name is Slash as far as I'm concerned he is one of the best guitar players in the world I love him I love Guns and Roses try to listen to the song Civil War estranged Welcome to the Jungle yesterday Sweet Child of Mine patience November Rain you could be mine that song was in Terminator 2 and Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted Guns and Roses to do that song for the movie Arnold Schwarzenegger is a big fan of Guns and Roses stick with rock and roll it will make you feel good inside
I LOVE how Lex expresses herself when she likes something.
Same with me Lex! Slash kills it for the longest time, while hes singing, and all the way to the end! So glad you picked that up!
The guitarist “slash” is one of the best
Appetite. Best rock album of all time.
Love that reaction to the solo! Great job as always Brad & Lex
I believe Lex gives most UA-camrs goosebumps. She is so cool the way she moves with the music, and her facial expression is so cute. We love you girl. Brad, you're good, too.
Love love this song and the SOLO at the end is such a great way to end that song! Do more GnR! Knocking on Heavens Door!
Such a great arrangement. Love watching you guys. Lex has an innate ear for music and it's so refreshing. I subscribed too late so I haven't watched why you have had to stop yet. I don't want to. I have listened for a few years now so I'm upset. Wish you guys all the best.
Guns N Roses were some of the biggest rockstars ever. Almost every song is a powerhouse. My favorite is "You Could Be Mine", which had a strong tie-in with the Terminator 2 movie. Watch the official video!
The B&W Concert footage used in this Video, was shot in August 1988 at Donington Park UK. I am in there somewhere.
It was announced immediately after the event concluded, that two people had died, due to crush injuries, during the GnR set.
Wait till you do "sweet child o'mine" "civil war" great reaction, always love the reaction. BTW you got to take Lex to a major rock show, she gets so hype, I love it.
Omg! Lex cracks me up! So awesome how much she gets into the music. Love your channel!
Axl is a genius. He wrote the best songs ever. His creativity is out of this world. Cherry on top he had the talented Slash to add the perfect finish touch.
Um, actually Izzy Stradlin was a HUGE contribution to their lyrics.
@@edwardgomez5616no he wasn't this is why no one likes izzy because yall overrate him. The whole band wrote the majority of the songs but the 2 main writers were axl and izzy. Izzy just wrote 2 songs by himself yall needa stop downplaying the members and realize all of them are the reason why gnr is legendary.
First Guns song I ever heard - 1986 In Tan Hill Pub (highest pub in England) and I was hooked for life ( I Was 18). Seen them twice live in the 90's. Epic.
Long live Izzy for the intertwining guitar subtleties. Slash is my favorite lead player but Izzy made that guitar sound so rich.
Brads face is like that kid on roller coaster, where at first it be fun and then at the end he start getting sick .
Lexi is awesome, your reaction was amazing, pure enthusiasm. love it 🤪
Her enthusiasm is awesome! Loved it when she hit him on the shoulder and made the face.. Lol
The Best Solo Ever? Considered from many people on this planet? Pink Floyed: "Comfortably Numb ,Pulse Live
Followed by Stairway to Heaven
I just want to say what a joy it is to watch Lex react great guitar rock....her face when Slash starts slaying it there at the end.
" Best solo ever ? "
The way is still long young Metal padawan...🤘
LOL!
Right, but not everything with electrical guitars is metal. ;)
I had to get up and dance like a goofy madman during the solo. This song has so much electricity in it! Good lord!
Great reaction from Lex! I love how much she enjoyed the guitar solo.
Watching Lex light up like she did made this video. It's like watching our inner fanboy jump out of our skin and onto the screen
Context is everything.
This was written in ‘86 / ‘87 and produced in ‘88.
One of the most recognizable “rock” albums in 40-45 years.
You both make listening to throwback songs fun and interesting. I appreciate your openness and enjoyment of all these great songs
Saying Axl is a diva is an understatement lol He would show up to concerts two to three hours later after the opening bands set ended.
Watching Lexi follow that guitar solo has been the best part of my day
"Theres Axl Slash and then there Guns N Roses" yes 100% I agree
"You're like on 10 right now."
LMFAO yup, G&R does that to us. She's definitely a rocker.
Paradise city is great track but as a live song it is epic! It is an experience to not be missed.
Love watching Lex vibe out to Slash's guitar chops. She would have been a great hang in the 70's - the greatest Rock era ever
It makes my day when Lexi gets excited about metal!
Saw them in concert on this tour, had no clue who they were they opened for motley crue's girls girls girls tour in the early 80's, the show was awesome, they had a small set up and you could tell they were up and coming at the time. caught them a second time on the use your illusion tour in biloxi mississippi in the 90's Excellent show.
OMG. Girl, I love your excitement! You keep saying, "I didn't think it was possible". Welcome to the past. People are waking up to the fact that music has been dumbed down on purpose. You have such a long, incredible journey ahead of you. You will soon be wishing it was still 1977. So do the people that lived through it.
The coloured part of the video is them on tour with Aerosmith, the B&W part of the live footage is at Donnington Park in Leicester UK where sadly two fans lost their lives during GNR’s set.
Love the way she gets it every time
saw them in the early 90s when they came to N.Z. It was Axls birthday and the whole crowd sang him happy birthday at Mt Smart stadium in South Auckland. Skidrow opened for them
