I'm old enough that the radio played it out long ago, but watching someone discover it reminds me again of what made the get played so much. Loved the react, do You Could Be Mine please!!!
I’m pretty sure he actually wrote this about someone’s daughter. Like a 3 or 4 your old. It’s about how fathers will do anything to keep their daughters safe. Just like “I used to love her, but I had to kill her” wasn’t about a girl., it was about an advanced aged pet [dog].
@@elbruces very few do. I’d only knock em for not releasing more albums, but Axl in 2006, 2010, and 2016 was still very good. 2016 he was fronting the GNR reunion and 20+ shows for ACDC
@@MrLjs20 i mean he was apparently impossible to work with at that time. if they could focus up who knows what could have happened but he was wild as fuck back then.
One of my Mother's favorite songs, and she's 75; when it came out we were both loving it. My youngest brother got married in June, and THIS is the song they danced to for the Mother/Son dance; it was priceless, and she's still got it!! 💖💖💖
OMG!! Hahaha!! That is the BEST description of Axl's voice I have EVER heard!! You NAILED IT!!! WOW!! LOVE IT and I'm stealing that one!! lolol!! ;) ;)
I love this song and still know every word and I absolutely adore Slash, the lead guitarist! At the time it was said that Axl Rose wrote this song for Erin Everly, the daughter of one of the Everly Brothers, which was a famous singing duo (brothers) from the 50s and 60s. The couple did get married in 1990 and the marriage was annulled in 1991, according to my research.
ASIA, the lyrics were originally a love poem by Axl Rose to his girlfriend Erin Everly, who is the daughter of Don Everly of the Everly Brothers. Slash and the band had a great riff and groove and Axl later put that love poem as the lyric.
You guys gotta do yourselves a huge favor and listen to this album from start to finish. It's one of a few that doesn't have a single bad song. It truly is a masterpiece.
Slash is one of the best rock guitar players of all time. There’s no argument that could be made against him the dude lives and breathes rock and roll and has for the last nearly 40 years. Gotta give respect where it’s due!
We played this song for my youngest daughter at her funeral. She loved it and I, as well as her, “smiled” when it played. And we both “silently laughed” at the 400 plus attendance reaction when it came on. After all. Our little love LOVED to make people laugh. Anything for my girl. ❤️ Mama.
Not sure about where the lyrics came from, but I've heard that the song got started when Axl heard Slash doing a finger exercise on his guitar (the intro) and then was like "this can be a song" and they jammed off of that. The "where do we go now" part was from not knowing how to end it. You guys should definitely do a deeper dive on GNR. They have a lot of great songs.
The lyrics were a love poem axl had written, so slash started trying to make circus noises on his gutair and then izzy started jamming and it came together 🤣hope that helped dude!
Axl Rose is literally a freak of nature. Most opera singers have a 2-2.5 vocal range, Axl has 6 octaves . He's in The Guinness Book Of World Records ( At her peak, Mariah Carey had 5). And he has 5-7 "distinctively different "(Rolling Stone magazine) voices . Have you guys reacted to "Welcome To The Jungle" yet?
@@savsmiles3042 yes, she is the girl with long hair in the video when Axel sings the line her hair reminds me of a warm safe place where as a child I’d hide.
Paradise City is even better. I've been waiting 30 years for another band to excite me as much as Guns N Roses did when I first heard them in 1988....and I'm still waiting.
The thing is too, Slash was like 22 when he recorded their debut album. Some people are just born with it in their veins. Before he started playing guitar, he was a competitive BMX rider. He was underage and was beating people twice his age. The dude has a natural propensity for MAGIC.
This song came out around the time my blond hair, blue eyed daughter was born and I would get chocked up just thinking of my beautiful baby girl. We just had our father, bride dance at her wedding a couple months ago.
I was a senior in high school when this album came out and it was all over tv & radio. Also, Asia is so damn pretty, If I were watching a video with her...Id be looking at her more than the video...😍 😁
This entire album is burned into my brain in the best way! One of my top albums from the beginning..my parents got sick of hearing it play daily 🤣 This band is going to reel you in! 🤟 Slash is 🔥 on the guitar!
@@pavelgeiba you have a seriously messed up attitude. WTF is wrong with suggesting another song from the SAME BAND when they clearly liked this one? You need to get some help.
@@pavelgeibayou’re acting like guns n roses isn’t one of the most popular rock bands on the planet😂 also, November rain has over 2 billion views on UA-cam, not sure what you’re tryna gatekeep.
GNR is one of my all time favorite bands from high school! When my son was a teenager, I was so excited to hear this song blaring from my his bedroom. I ran in there and found that he was playing Guitar Hero. That game exposed a whole new generation to some great rock music!
Izzy and Axl were primary lyricists in GnR. They both grew up in Lafayette, IN. Had great rapport. Izzy's departure marked an obvious change with the band. His first solo album, and especially Shuffle It All, is great.
a curious fact: Slash in his autobiography tells that after the spectacular guitar solo they did not know how to continue the song, where do we go? It was born because they started to play and in the end it was like the end of the song
He was talking about his then girlfriend Erin Everly. Daughter of one of the Everly brothers who were a rather famous band late 50`s early 60`s. Bye Bye love and Wake up little Susie among their other hits back then.
Love your reactions guy's!!! You should check out some Skid Row....Sebastian Bach's voice is fantastic!!! "Wasted Time",..."I Remember You"..."Quicksand Jesus" just to name a few...if you want a bit heavier from them,..."Slave to the Grind",..."Youth Gone Wild"...and "Monkey Business"!!!
Kathy here - late to show on this reaction, but just in case you see this comment, fun fact: Slash in the hat, had a really long solo on the full version of this song, but the record label cut some of it out for the radio version, so Axel Roze insisted that the official video included his full solo. And yes, Slash is a beast! GNR was one of the great rock bands of my time. I will be 69 years old in February and I can still remember when it came out, buying the record and rushing home to hear this one because of the solo by Slash. I can still listen to this band and probably til the day I die. Thanks for such a great reaction. And glad "you are a fan"! Peace out!!
I remember discovering this album when it came out in '87 (I believe). I was floored. All these years later I love watching new people discover these songs.
Ohh yes. I would love to see them do Amanda by Boston. One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands ever. I swear it's one of the most beautiful, moving love songs ever written, and Brad's voice in that one is mind blowing.
I love Guns’ Roses!!!! 😍.this is my favorite band 🤘 and Sweet Child on mine has special meaning to me because it was released when I was pregnant of my baby girl so every time I listened to that song I dedicated to her ❤️❤️❤️ And well Axl one of the most charismatic voices I’ve heard with Slash with his guitar making pure magic 🎸 too good to be true👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 unforgettable !!
My best friends daughter got married about four years ago. At her wedding reception my self and our other best friend requested this song. The DJ didn’t want to play it because he thought that the majority of the guests wouldn’t even know it since the wedding party was so young. We promised him it would be worth it. So he ended up playing it many songs later. When it came on everyone in the place came up on the dance floor. They all sang along and danced to it. I wish I would’ve recorded the shocked look on the DJ’s face. Lmao! We helped raise that girl to some good classic jams. Lol!
I heard this song on the radio in 87’ when I was 17. The song is about Axl’s girlfriend at the time, Erin Everly. She is the daughter of the famous Everly Brothers. When I heard this song, I thought,” who is that?”. This song is super melodic and beautiful. That solo cooks! This is how real musicians play…….GNR are amazing! I love watching u guys discover all this great music I grew up on. It’s so much fun. Btw, slash was a great lead guitarist but Izzy Stradlin (the rhythm guitarist) was instrumental in putting these songs together. Slash readily admits that. Great song, great band!
This song was the SHIT when it came out!!..SLASH IS THE GOAT BJ ...YOU know it man!!!...yall please do Paradise city...Axle and Slash is what made this band special beyond others
Epic then and Epic now in 2023 * I am very sure a loooot of people in the world have this track on their last to be played music list * It's so Glorious.
I'm gonna give it to both of you. I feel that you guys are far the best reaction team thus far. I feel that you are truthful in your reactions and even admit that most that you react to is not your genre of music but I can see that you really give it a listen and not just "HEAR" the music and that's fair and it really seems that you can appreciate music that much more. As far as the southern classic rock genre like Credence Clearwater Revival, yes, it's not something that you would tune in for your music, but let me say, I am a black male that lives in the country and there is no black/white when it comes to the soul in that southern rock. I wish that more folks would appreciate that. There is a lot of white folks that sing soulful in which I know you now know also. I like my black music, R&B, rap, and blues, but I can also get soulful music from that southern rock too. You guys are great!!!!! Keep doing what you do.
This song takes me back to the summer of 1988, when I was 18 and had a 75' Camaro, with a 2,000 dollar stereo system in it and just cruising around with my friends, just basting not just this song, but the whole album...miss those fun times.
I was in my 20s when Guns N’ Roses was everything. This band is so amazing and let me tell you they pave the way between 80s hair band rock to 90s grunge.
To put it very succinctly, “Sweet Child O’ Mine” is a love song. The titular “sweet child” actually refers to the love interest of Axl Rose, the song’s writer and performer. Even more specifically, he wrote the song in reference to his woman Erin Everly, who he even briefly married a few years later. - Still, I think it also could be a song about a baby daughter. A daughter's smile reminding of childhood memories. As fresh as the bright blue sky, sounds of innocence. I cannot imagine a parent who is not taken away to a special place when they gaze on their children. Eyes of the bluest skies and if they start to rain(cry) no parent wants to see an ounce of pain in their child. As a child our parents were usually the warm safe place to let the thunder and the rain pass us by. Where do we go now, the worry of a parent for their child future and wanting to be a part of it. - One thing I love about music is that they can gives us their own meaning. If I did not know this was a love song to Erin Everly, I could easily have thought it was about the bond of a parent and their child. I wonder what other people may interpret to inspire their own meaning from the song. - All I know is when this song comes on the radio, I turn it up and I am singing along.
When GnR were at their zenith, they couldn't be topped....unfortunately it was only for a few years. Appetite For Destruction is a killer album front to back!!
One of the greatest songs ever written. Top Ten of all time. Covers everything and let the world know just who Guns 'n' Roses were.... And personally I love in the reactions when the solo starts and someone always says "ok Slash.....show me somethin' ok...." and getting to see their faces afterwards.... Gets me every time.....
he wrote the song for the red haired girl with the video camera in the video. Her name is Erin Everly, her dad died 2 days ago. He sang Unchained Melody with his brother.
You guys would love PINK FLOYD "Comfortably Numb" Live at PULSE Concert 1994. Best guitar solo you may ever hear, live. Solo at the end is almost 5 minutes long and may literally bring you to tears. Don't pause the solo at the end if you do it. It disrupts the emotions you will be feeling. And the Production and light show during the song really adds to the experience. Enjoy. I know you will.
Oh boy those were the days. I saw them in 1990 in Daytona Beach. MTV was there for spring break and they always had free concerts at the band shell on the beach. I actually think that Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers and Chad Smith the drummer for GnR were arrested after the show. Y'all have to check out Skid Row " I Remember You ) Official Video and 18 and Life. Sebastian Bachs vocals are out of this world!!
Axl Rose wrote this for his girlfriend, at the time, Erin Everly. She's the girl in the video with the long curly hair. Beautifully written and composed song.
My mom grew me up on this song. i have a little sister who is 14 yrs younger than me. i live in japan now, they live in Dallas. before I left and sold my guitar I learned this song for my mom. after that my little sister called this my song because she remember hearing me play it so much. shes 15 now.
Every song on that albums is great. My favorite is Mr. Brownstone. That song is fantastic!!! Second fav is Night Train. Check out those two songs, you won't be disappointed. FYI the motion of the arm swirling around to the guitar I think is most fairly accredited to The Who. They popularized that motion.
Loved this band since 1986. I’ve seen them countless times. Axl, I think is the best frontman along w/Freddie Mercury from Queen. Especially when in the late 80’s early 90’s nobody could touch him. Slash?? The Best. Period. Will be playing at my funeral.
I used to listen to this album every day on the school bus on the way home. I won second place in an art contest with a drawing of one of Slashes Tattoos. Everyone I knew loved these guys when this song came out. Thanks for the reaction. Love you guys!
In Slash's autobiography he says that the guitar he used and the way it was tuned that day he has never been able to recreate it and nothing has sounded as good since. True magic in the booth that day this masterpiece was recorded
I was stationed n the 32nd Armor Division in Kirchgoens Germany in 86-87, a few years behind Axle Rose. GnR offered to play a concert for the troops there and the Army denied them, that really sucked..
When "Appetite for Destruction" came out in 1987 it changed alot in mainstream music. I was 11 at the time it came out. They were the ones who changed what I was listening to. Before I was listen mostly to pop and then some Rock... GNR changed alot of people to listen to Rock as their main thing. If you listen to them they have elements of alot of different kind of music..... Blues, Country, southern rock, classic rock and heavy rock. Sadly the last 10-15 years has been bad to music in general. Several 14-18 years old tells me I was lucky to be a child and teenagers of the 80ties and 90ties(I also have older brothers so alot of 70ties music too) becauce the music we had... the difference in music. First time I heard some teenagers said that I was just like "Wow... I just thought I was getting old" ha ha ha ha
SKID ROW!!!! You love Axl's voice, all I have to say is check out Skid Row, especially Wasted Time, 18 & Life, and I Remember You. Seriously you should check them out.
I love that you both do reactions to such a wide range of music... and of course the reactions are dope, keep it up! Also, absolutely agree, insane guitar skills and one of my favorite parts in this.
Oh Slash is definitely one of the top guitar players of all time, hands down. From what I understand, he's biracial, and back in these videos you could never see his face because of his iconic rock-n-roll look! Not that it matters if he's biracial or not, but I remember wanting to see that man's face because he was around my age. We're both in our mid-50s now - time goes too fast!
This music creeps under my skin every time I hear it. It has to be one of greatest rock songs of all time, if not the best, and we have Slash, Axl Rose and the entire band to thank for it!
a lot of ppl will say slash is not that good because he dont shred as fast as other ppl, but after 15 years playing guitar im starting to realize that the personal touch and bends are the most important thing to transmite feelings on electric guitars.
Slash was a genius coming up with this melody. It’s like a lullaby. His grandmother bought his first guitar!
he did it as a joke at first
thanks grandma slash xD
Based it on a circus tune
Slash said in an interview the melody was originally a finger exercise which the other band members asked him to incorporate and that it reminded him of circus music.

As far as the southern classic rock genre like Credence Clearwater Revival, yes, it's not something that you would tune in for your music, but let me say, I am a black male that lives in the country and there is no black/white when it comes to the soul in that southern rock. I wish that more folks would appreciate that. There is a lot of white folks that sing soulful in which I know you now know also. I like my black music, R&B, rap, and blues, but I can also get soulful music from that southern rock too. You guys are great!!!!! Keep doing what you do.
Beast....agree!! All the friction between them made some of the best music. They made it happen together!!
This song takes me back to the summer of 1988, when I was 18 and had a 75' Camaro, with a 2,000 dollar stereo system in it and just cruising around with my friends, just basting not just this song, but the whole album...miss those fun times.
Do you still have the car?
@@Mo-xj8sx No I wish, that was a long time ago.
I was in my 20s when Guns N’ Roses was everything. This band is so amazing and let me tell you they pave the way between 80s hair band rock to 90s grunge.
Every time I hear this song I get emotional and think about my daughter.
To put it very succinctly, “Sweet Child O’ Mine” is a love song. The titular “sweet child” actually refers to the love interest of Axl Rose, the song’s writer and performer. Even more specifically, he wrote the song in reference to his woman Erin Everly, who he even briefly married a few years later.

Still, I think it also could be a song about a baby daughter. A daughter's smile reminding of childhood memories. As fresh as the bright blue sky, sounds of innocence. I cannot imagine a parent who is not taken away to a special place when they gaze on their children. Eyes of the bluest skies and if they start to rain(cry) no parent wants to see an ounce of pain in their child. As a child our parents were usually the warm safe place to let the thunder and the rain pass us by. Where do we go now, the worry of a parent for their child future and wanting to be a part of it.

One thing I love about music is that they can gives us their own meaning. If I did not know this was a love song to Erin Everly, I could easily have thought it was about the bond of a parent and their child. I wonder what other people may interpret to inspire their own meaning from the song.

All I know is when this song comes on the radio, I turn it up and I am singing along.
When GnR were at their zenith, they couldn't be topped....unfortunately it was only for a few years. Appetite For Destruction is a killer album front to back!!
One of the greatest songs ever written.
Top Ten of all time.
Covers everything and let the world know just who Guns 'n' Roses were....
And personally I love in the reactions when the solo starts and someone always says "ok Slash.....show me somethin' ok...." and getting to see their faces afterwards....
Gets me every time.....
he wrote the song for the red haired girl with the video camera in the video. Her name is Erin Everly, her dad died 2 days ago. He sang Unchained Melody with his brother.
I remember buying the album when I was 13 years old and putting my dads decks to the test.
You guys would love PINK FLOYD "Comfortably Numb" Live at PULSE Concert 1994. Best guitar solo you may ever hear, live. Solo at the end is almost 5 minutes long and may literally bring you to tears. Don't pause the solo at the end if you do it. It disrupts the emotions you will be feeling. And the Production and light show during the song really adds to the experience. Enjoy. I know you will.
100% agree👍👍👍👍
100% the greatest solo ever. I don't think anyone could listen to that and not be moved.
Saw them in concert just last night in Denver!!
My 20 year old daughter loves this. Parenting success!!!!
One of the true classic guitar solo's of all time...
Oh boy those were the days. I saw them in 1990 in Daytona Beach. MTV was there for spring break and they always had free concerts at the band shell on the beach. I actually think that Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers and Chad Smith the drummer for GnR were arrested after the show. Y'all have to check out Skid Row " I Remember You ) Official Video and 18 and Life. Sebastian Bachs vocals are out of this world!!
That guitar solo is iconic! This slash solo made him a rock god
Imagine being 16 and this song drops on MTV, mind blown!!!!!
1987 Live@Ritz. Where it, from my mind started big. One of the best live performances ever..
My All time favorites, lead singer, guitarist everything! 💜💚💙
Axl Rose wrote this for his girlfriend, at the time, Erin Everly. She's the girl in the video with the long curly hair. Beautifully written and composed song.
My mom grew me up on this song. i have a little sister who is 14 yrs younger than me. i live in japan now, they live in Dallas. before I left and sold my guitar I learned this song for my mom. after that my little sister called this my song because she remember hearing me play it so much. shes 15 now.
Every song on that albums is great. My favorite is Mr. Brownstone. That song is fantastic!!! Second fav is Night Train. Check out those two songs, you won't be disappointed.
FYI the motion of the arm swirling around to the guitar I think is most fairly accredited to The Who. They popularized that motion.
Loved this band since 1986. I’ve seen them countless times. Axl, I think is the best frontman along w/Freddie Mercury from Queen. Especially when in the late 80’s early 90’s nobody could touch him.
Slash?? The Best. Period. Will be playing at my funeral.
Best music to grow up with so glad I was born in that amazing generation. Still know every word
I used to listen to this album every day on the school bus on the way home. I won second place in an art contest with a drawing of one of Slashes Tattoos. Everyone I knew loved these guys when this song came out.
Thanks for the reaction. Love you guys!
In Slash's autobiography he says that the guitar he used and the way it was tuned that day he has never been able to recreate it and nothing has sounded as good since. True magic in the booth that day this masterpiece was recorded
Slash is absolutely a beast! My #1! Slash's playing & Axl's voice together.... whewwww... nobody else will do! Lol
El rock es lo maximo, género único y fascinante... Que berraquera de voces, guitarristas geniales, muy profesionales músicos.
I was stationed n the 32nd Armor Division in Kirchgoens Germany in 86-87, a few years behind Axle Rose. GnR offered to play a concert for the troops there and the Army denied them, that really sucked..
When "Appetite for Destruction" came out in 1987 it changed alot in mainstream music. I was 11 at the time it came out. They were the ones who changed what I was listening to. Before I was listen mostly to pop and then some Rock... GNR changed alot of people to listen to Rock as their main thing. If you listen to them they have elements of alot of different kind of music..... Blues, Country, southern rock, classic rock and heavy rock.
Sadly the last 10-15 years has been bad to music in general. Several 14-18 years old tells me I was lucky to be a child and teenagers of the 80ties and 90ties(I also have older brothers so alot of 70ties music too) becauce the music we had... the difference in music. First time I heard some teenagers said that I was just like "Wow... I just thought I was getting old" ha ha ha ha
Yall have a such a good vibe. No over the top reacting, genuine. Good stuff im a fan.
I saw them here in South Florida on New years eve, I was lucky to see Axl rise up from under the stage with his piano. FIREWORKS, IT WAS MAGICAL? 1991
React to Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators - Anastasia [Live in Sydney] 🤘🏼🎩
Best Slash song for sure
Was coming here to post this. It’s a must watch if you want to see Slash demonstrate his godlike abilities.
SKID ROW!!!! You love Axl's voice, all I have to say is check out Skid Row, especially Wasted Time, 18 & Life, and I Remember You. Seriously you should check them out.
Slash is a beast on every song he's. Yall should check out living by the swordby Slash
I love that you both do reactions to such a wide range of music... and of course the reactions are dope, keep it up! Also, absolutely agree, insane guitar skills and one of my favorite parts in this.
Axl Rose wrote this for his GF at the time Erin Everly. Also GUNS N ROSES are amazing! My favorite band since 1987.
Oh Slash is definitely one of the top guitar players of all time, hands down. From what I understand, he's biracial, and back in these videos you could never see his face because of his iconic rock-n-roll look! Not that it matters if he's biracial or not, but I remember wanting to see that man's face because he was around my age. We're both in our mid-50s now - time goes too fast!
Nobody was better than G&R In the 80’s and 90”s. They were my favorite as a kid. I only saw them in concert 1 time
I beg to differ VanHalen willforever be the BEST!!!
Slash is one of the biggest guitar influences in our generation.out side gnr he has played with the biggest musicians in the business .
The greatest band that ever lived I appreciate you listening to this song my favorite
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Paradise city, Rocket Queen, You could be mine (UYI 2)
This music creeps under my skin every time I hear it. It has to be one of greatest rock songs of all time, if not the best, and we have Slash, Axl Rose and the entire band to thank for it!
a lot of ppl will say slash is not that good because he dont shred as fast as other ppl, but after 15 years playing guitar im starting to realize that the personal touch and bends are the most important thing to transmite feelings on electric guitars.
Can I just point out that Axl uses his voice like another instrument, perfectly blending with Slash's guitar? On my list of near perfect songs!
Great review guys !!one of the greatest songs and solo of all time in my opinion a
