That deep contrast was Axl too! He's known to have one of the greatest vocal ranges of all time. His voice was a deep baritone when he talked but he could scream really high pitched.
Not to mention that this was their DEBUT album after making it through the rough club scene in LA. It's been ranked as the best rock debut album EVER! And rightfully so. Unfortunately, the sudden fame (and the drugs) went to Axl's head and made him a prima donna for a long while. You were never sure if or when GnR would take the stage at their concerts after the first album tour.

GnR are amazing & they are doing great :) Yes, there have been line-up changes, but the band is still rocking & they still tour. Slash & Duff had returned to the band in 2016 & Adler was a guest star, in two of their shows.
In the beginning, all of the harmony parts were done by Axl. There are four parts, and they're all double-tracked, so it gives a broad, extensive, choir-like stereo sound. His range goes as low as Bb6 to as high as F1 (across five octaves and five semitones). Needless to say, he can do a lot with it in the recording studio. And yes, they all have tattoos.
Man,i remember when this song first debuted and the video of this on MTV HeadBanger's Ball,me and my girlfriend were floored,we used to watch the ball every Saturday night,and watching you react to this the first time seeing it,reminds me of that moment,so cool,thats why music can be magical and do things,produce feelings that nothing else can
Paradise City likely refers to Lafayette, Indiana, the hometown of Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin. However, the song overall is more about Rose's memories of growing up in the Midwest being innocent and full of hope vs the harsh reality of living in a city or being on the streets. Hence "Paradise City" (his innocence) is "so far away" (in the past).
Where did you get that? Slash writes in his book that they were coming back to LA from Seattle and the car kept breaking down. And Axl got sounded up that he screamed "Take me home" and they started singing the chorus over and over. And that turned into the song.
@@jomojojo6603 I've edited my comment to read "likely". While Slash's story is probably true, it takes a lot of time and work to go from riffing lyrics in the car to a complete song. The truth is no one from the band has ever said explicitly where Paradise City is, but the fact that Rose and Stradlin are both from Lafayette and a lot of the lyrics are nostalgia based is well known.
@@cmlemmus494 I can't disagree. However, I think LA has more pretty girls than Lafayette 🤪 TBH, back when the album came out, the rumor was that Paradise City was a part of a woman's body. So ..who knows?
The dirty little secret of GnR was that the musical talent was entirely concentrated in Slash and Izzy, and the moment Izzy walked it was over because Slash was too fucked up to keep Axl's ego and utter lack of talent from destroying the band.
Anyone who thinks Axl has an utter lack of talent knows nothing about singing. Izzy was the best songwriter in the group before he left and that was the biggest hit they took when they broke up, but Axl being talentless is something a hater would say. Adler was the original break in the group, he was too into heroin to play and it unraveled from there. One last thing, Axl is considered the petty one but he Duff and Slash have been back together for like four or five years doing world wide tours while petty ass Izzy is here in Indiana literally writing songs about getting a tooth pulled. All hail to Izzy right guys?? You can look that up at Guns N Roses Central if you’re wondering where I heard that.
A group of boys did this song for a talent show during my 8th grade year 1992. By the way the crowd reacted and the girls acted you'd have thought it was actually GNR.
No one really appreciates the genius of Duff and he was hot 😂 He loved Prince and aspired to be a multiple instrument artist, I would say he accomplished his goal
Little touches make great songs--the school yard whistle at 1:56 Not only does it fit; it signals its time to let loose, let the kids out. Time to rock.
The colorized parts were filmed at the old Giants Stadium in NJ. I was lucky enough to attend this show. You can see me in that quick panning shot of the upper deck. Haha. They were supporting Deep Purple and Aerosmith. It was pretty epic day. It was not very common to have a stadium like this packed with people to see an opening act. That’s just how big these guys were at the time. Great reaction!
if you looked up "80's" in the dictionary, it would just say Guns N Roses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were everything 80's! The hair, clothes, and NOISE lol
I remember when this album came out. I was in college. The first single was "Welcome to the Jungle". I was driving and heard it on the radio and almost crashed my truck. I stopped and bought the CD and played it for my roommates. We were THRILLED that we had something to listen to besides hair-metal. Between GnR and Metallica, that was the playlist in our apartment.
@@dancrabbe6423 And GnR was several YEARS before grunge. GnR was the killer of "hair metal". Not grunge. GnR was "radio friendly" as opposed to groups like Metallica , Anthrax, etc. that you could only hear on college radio stations, back then. You couldn't hear, "Master of Puppets" on the radio, back then. You COULD (and did) hear Guns n Roses.
Fun Fact - Queen is Axl Rose’s favorite rock band!! Axl performs with Queen the pop song WE WILL ROCK YOU at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. And, performs with Elton John Queen’s BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY! My mom absolutely loved Axl Rose as a vocalist! You should do NOVEMBER RAIN by Guns n Roses 🌹
I didn't see anyone mentioning this in the comments but the original lyrics to the chorus we're "Take me down to the paradise city we're the grass is _free_ and the girls are pretty" But they changed it for obvious reasons Sorry if my english is bad but it's not my main language Peace and love from Finland 💙🤍
Welcome to GNR girl. November rain is a masterpiece. Also the other side is 80s vands were known for having what we called power ballads. Check pit Patience you won't be disappointed with either
This is what my children heard along with Metallica as toddlers. They developed their own preferences later as we all do but it is normal to hear them still rock out to what they grew up with. 😁
i remember Eazy-E saying he wanted to do a song with them and N.w.a and call it thugs n roses thats why in concerts and videos u see axel wear the nwa hats back in the day. but it never happened the interview is around i just thought it was cool for axel to do that because rock n rap was such separate things back then.
That coliseum at the beginning is the late, great Giants Stadium, East Rutherford NJ. I’m not sure what the venue later on in England is; might be Wembley.
Britt do yourself a favor & get their album Appetite For Destruction , this song comes from that. Its the best selling debut album from a rock band in history. Sweet Child O Mine was also on that album. You should do Welcome To The Jungle next. You might recognize it cause its played at alot of pro sporting events.
This is my , now 18yo daughters , favorite song ... From when she was like 3 she would say " Daddy play the song " and I knew ... Paradise City ... Funny how radio stations , when this first came out , wouldn't play the end cause it was " to punk " ...
That's the bass player's voice. I used to shop at Manny's Music Store in Manhattan. That's where they took that shot. The Beatles were there too. Been there so many times when I lived in NYC. You are a kick!
This video features live concert footage shot at Giants Stadium in New Jersey while Guns N' Roses were on tour with Aerosmith and at the 1988 Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park (Derbyshire, UK)
Guns n Roses was such a huge inspiration for me when learning to play bass and today my sound and play style reminds me alot of Duffs. If you like this you should check out Velveteen Queen, a young band from Sweden bringing back the classic 80s and 90s rock
@@jomojojo6603 well they're credited to Duff and Izzy. Axl may have recorded backing as well,but look it up,it clearly says Duff and Izzy backing vocals
@Jo mojo jo No,why would they credit them with the backing vocals if it wasn't them ? The facts are,Duff and Izzy did the backing vocals but you just PERSONALLY THINK it's Axl. I go with the facts
I absolutely believe concerts back then were and always will be unforgettable, amazing,unbelievable, jaw dropping in actual attendance, parties, festivals, well just 70s 80s and 90s all rolled into one because it has never been the same since. If ppl saw live performances now they're scaled down or not as many dates for larger arenas etc. European tours for likes of Ozzy Van Halen Black Sabbath Metallica Motley Crue Poison all flipping rock music at that time was just awesome. US tours were good if not great but overseas were off the charts with so many bands intertwined through the scheduling to make every date there better than the last. If you read this far, think back on those concerts then and even b4 covid or after as we press away they will never be as big as those.
Welcome to the 80’s , they made us have hair like that. Lol This album came out my junior year of high school, fairly determinant even though I’m a country boy and love Hank, Mearle and Waylon.
Taking the wife in Oct to see them her first time. I compromised same month she is taking me to see Pink. All in Vancouver British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 😎
Hope you at one point come to November rain, Patience, Civil War or Don't cry (alternative lyrics) that's the other side of G'n'R. Fun fact I learned to play the 🥁 in Patience at the age of 3
The original was "Take me down to paradise city where the grass is free and the girls are willing" However in the time this came out this was not tolerated by the label company so they had to change it. This is the case with alot of their songs. Like for example mr brownstone where he sings about heroin. Couldnt say it straight out so it turned into mr brownstone ;) All lyrics are to be interpreted...
That deep contrast was Axl too! He's known to have one of the greatest vocal ranges of all time. His voice was a deep baritone when he talked but he could scream really high pitched.
at least he used to
Axl had a five+ octave range in his prime. It was insane. Unfortunately, that Axl is no more. 😢

This entire album was so epic. At their peak they were up there with the greatest in my humble opinion.
What an amazing band, should have lasted more ... Appetite for Destruction is rock history ...
would have if not for axl's ego LOL

Paradise city is Bloomington, Indiana where Axel rose and his family would go for family vacation , Axel rose grew up in Lafayette Indiana

This is one of my favorite songs to just jam to while driving down the road with the windows down with the volume all the way up.
The crowd is unruly is an understatement, they used to have riots all the time . Riots
Ok now we getting somewhere. I remember the summer this hit. I saw them live that summer. INSANITY.

Not sure how many GNR songs you heard but welcome to the jungle and civil war are two good ones to check out.
Civil War is definitely worth a listen. It doesn't get near as much attention because it's...different....but the lyrics are amazing.
Civil War is one of my favorite GnR songs.
ONE VISION (Queen) live at Wembley 1986. Banger!
Axl Rose is one of the five greatest male rick singerd of all time.

My mom treated me and my 5 childhood friends to this concert for my 30th birthday. Yeah my mom was really cool, miss ya mom!
FYI, Paradise city was created about Lake Geneva, WI. And this is due to the history they had with that city around the time they wrote this song.
That coliseum at the beginning is the late, great Giants Stadium, East Rutherford NJ. I’m not sure what the venue later on in England is; might be Wembley.
They were great live in the old days
“It sounded like it was speeding up.”
Me, knowing the breakdown is coming: 😏
If you like great harmony you will love the group Band Maid and their song Alone
G&R one of the greatest bands ever!! Brings back my high school days!!
Paradise City is Los Angeles. They wrote it in a van, traveling back to LA from a gig somewhere north of LA, in California.
Great reaction Britt! GNR are iconic. I think Paradise City could even be where you’re from!!
The deep voice harmony is Axl as well. It's possible he's just an alien
The first stadium in the video is old Giants stadium where the New York Giants and the New York Jets played its in New Jersey.
The concert footage in the video is where they played Giants Stadium, New York and Monsters of Rock at Donington Park 1988
Britt you need to react to
Steelheart "I'll Never Let You Go "
I saw GNR in 91, Skid Row opened. Honestly was one of the best concerts ever.
Third G'n'R song Britt, always luv your reactions to this classic band and Axl's vocals, stay beautiful 🤘❣️
That's Rock N Roll!! And I'm glad I was there too live it! 🤘🤘

This song is my childhood song. I born in the 80s. That time don't have techno or rap song. The rock and roll is the best that time.
I feel you, they kinda your brain on overload!! There's so much going on but its absolutely Great!
More GNR please. Might I suggest Mr. Brownstone or Rocket Queen.
The old Giant Stadium. I saw many games there; soccer and some football. Brings back old memories of my youth.
You've probably been informed on this but this album was the number one debut album of all time when it was released, and it still is
Hey, Britt. Just wanted to give you a heads-up. Guns and Roses are on tour and will be in Texas in September.
Listen to it live. He sounds like a demon, having a bad day. Bad ass.
They wrote this song on the bus after doing a show in San Francisco going back to LA. I should know I’m a Bay Area native lol
