The Reason This Video is In this format is because it was Blocked!! So I have to Re-edit Making it smaller is the only way it will stay up until I get more space on Vimeo to upload my blocked videos, UA-cam can’t detect the small videos
@@jamelakajamal That's fine with me. This beats having to go to Vimeo. I can see you just fine, and the sound quality is not affected in any way. But it appears they get blocked anyway, as happened with the Tom Jones track. Modifying video does little when it is the audio track that is the copyright issue. Ah well. Peace out, and let the music play! At least as long as you are able, my friend.
Forever young. In his honor live a full life. I lost my best friend at 12. And another best pal at 23. Whenever life got very difficult the memory their faces and voices cheered me on. You do the same.
Jamel, I've been playing guitar for over 25 years and this songs guitar solo is one of my all time favorites! My all time favorite GnR song is NIGHT TRAIN. It has a killer solo as well. Would love a reaction to it. 🎸
Gotta be one of the greatest guitar riff song intos of all time...a special band right place right time.. amazing sound💯...love you Jamal..Happy New Year💗
This is one of the few songs that when I hear it I have to stop and jam out to it, and somehow I've pavlov'd my kids into doing it too. It's just so good!
I always sang this to my daughter when she was a baby. The eyes, the hair and the wishes for storms to quietly pass by . Where do we go reminds me to do my best as we aren't given instructions to live and my daughter still is totally different than her brother was.
I've also sang/ dedicated this to my granddaughter. Red hair, blue eyes, my pride. To see her cry or have hurt feelings, "ok who do I kill for hurting my lil darling? "
This song hit big in the summer of 1988, which was a year after it was released. But with Mtv and alot of radio play, it blew up big time. I just had graduated and had a 1975 camaro as graduation present and sunk 2000 dollars into a new stereo system, and I loved crusing around blasting this song, and the album...fun times back then.
@@mr.mustang656 The actually, actual guitar solo in the song did make within the top 10 of Guitar World's list of the top 100 best guitar solos of all time. But yeah, "guitar solo", indeed.
Love Guns & Roses, theres no one got a voice as distinctive as Axl"s he was a pretty cute guy too. Just wanted to say i was in a discount chain of shops here in UK which sell craft items, books artist materials & just a year ago i was looking through their reduced books section & nearly dropped to my knees when i picked up a huge hardback book with amazing photos of the History of Guns & Roses .. Reduced from £35 to £5...! I clasped the book to my bosom & floated to the checkout in 7th heaven! Its an amazing book & really precious. One of my best finds & brilliant savings
As you noticed, this song is over 1.1 billion views. November Rain is over 1.5 Billion. But , they weren't the first. The first rock band over 1 Billion was Linkin Park, who also have 2 songs up there. Numb is over 1.5 Billion and In The End is over 1.1 billion
I read "Slash's book and from memory he was born in London to an English dad and Afro-American mom and then went to live in Stoke -on -Trent when his mom moved back to LA(She worked in the fashion/design business and dated David Bowie at one time) Slash and his dad then rejoined her in The USA....He said he remembered their house was always full of interesting "Bohemian" type of people coming and going. He partied really hard and admitted to sometimes drinking a bottle or 2 of vodka before lunch and eventually had to have some sort of "Heart pace maker" type of device fitted to keep him alive. He's one of the greatest guitarists I've heard coz he played from his soul but he hated that Axl Rose would regularly keep the crowd waiting before showing up on stage. Love G&R though.
It's unbelievable how many rock gigs across the USA end their nite by simply doing a guitar solo of this...no drums...no backup instruments...no vocals....just a single musician playing a steel with every person in the audience mesmerised with everything else filled in by their memories of the song....
but....I'm sure every band from 86-88 (except Priest and Maiden), probably wrote kickass albums, only to have the record company say "y'know these power ballads are all the rage...how about you have one too?"
@@xXPyrophorusXx I seriously doubt if GNR would have caved to any label pressure. Nobody was going to tell them what to do and they did not trust anybody. When it comes to his music now, I'm sure Axl has not changed his attitude on that. Motley didn't have label pressure because they kinda started it with Home Sweet Home. Ratt never did a ballad.
I love the power of music. Just closing my eyes took me back to 1988 when my older sister got me this tape & my mom threw it out when she looked at the cover art. Thanks sis for getting me two copies...lol
I was stationed in Germany when this came out, and while out in the field at Hohenfels doing fire marker duty, my driver had this tape and played it a lot on his boom box. Fell in love with this entire album, every cut was great. One of the best debut albums ever.
Jamel_AKA_Jamal, I recently discovered your reaction videos. You have been reacting to music for the six decades of my life, and I think you are an absolute joy! Thank you for your love of music, and your willingness to share.
One of things about Slash is if you notice right after the solo he still playing. Just adding little notes, like a backup singer on the guitar. Amazing!
I believe, or would like to believe, from different peoples accounts and interviews and such that Axl has grown. There are many in the industry that have not and are still stuck in their egotistical, arrogant ways. I hope what Ive heard about the current Axl is true.
+ some solid evidence he has changed for the better it the Not in This Lifetime Tour. Cause he'd pushed everyone away so much that when Slash was asked, years ago, if they'd tour again, his answer was "Not in this lifetime." So again, hopefully he has grown, as we all should strive to do.
I've heard the exact same thing.. which is telling because who is the one who continues with work with folks.. that would be Slash and not Axl who let money and fame go to his head. Maybe he was always a jerk? I dunno.. but I do love the music from this band.. you can always tell when it's Slash playing.. just like you can always tell when it's Willie playing his guitar.
A friend of mine from School, was at the infamous Calder Park concert in 1993. Guns n Roses were playing at Calder Park Raceway, just outside Melbourne, Australia, the home at the time of AUSCAR (Australia's short lived version of NASCAR) It was a 40C day, (which they were famously charging $4 for water at), 75,000 people in the crowd, 1,000 treated for heat-related illness, Guns 'n' Roses fame on hours late, a thunderstorm passed over, dropping the temperature to 25C in minutes, turning Calder Park into mud, with the concert running late, buses were unavailable to get people back to Melbourne, with people queuing for ages to get out of there. But that concert will forever go down in folklore here.
I love it even before it starts, the words are so lovely and his voice is different in this one. I have chills through the whole song, always. : ) Slash, there really are no words, he is another one who speaks through his guitar, he is incredible.
This is the first song I heard after my daughter was born. I was in the Army. The video was #1 on Headbangers Ball that night. I have the standard notation for the guitar intro as a tattoo on my left arm. ✌❤🎼
saw them open for The Cult @ the Santa Cruz civic in '87'. There were 75 people in house when the lights went down. I had the impression they had too much fun in S.F. the night before, except for Axl. He sang like it was a full stadium and I've been a fan ever since. Thanks Jamal. Hope you have a great year. Peace.
When I was a kid, I wasn't that into GNR. A few years ago, I finally sat down and listened to this song properly, and I was amazed how beautifully heartfelt the lyrics were. It really blew my mind.
I will never forget when this song came out. My brother and I were just kids at basketball camp in Maine. Every radio had this song blasting all week long!
Fun Fact: When they were writing the song, they were thinking where should they go after the solo and Axl was like "where should we go now?" Then someone there decided to have him sing that. lol
This song always reminds me of the time G'N'R cancelled a gig at a German festival an pretty much every other band played a few bars of this song to make fun of the band not showing up. THE running gag of the festival.
Finally someone who doesn’t pause during the solo, someone who appreciates the hard work that goes in the coming up with and recording a killer guitar solo you now have my respect!
I still remember MY reaction the first time hearing this song after my roommate brought the album home. When Axl busted out with the "Ai Ai Ai", after the "where do we go" breakdown AFTER Slash's blistering, multipart, lyrical, Hendrix-like solo, I think my brain just about exploded.
How did I miss this?!?!?! Hitting me in the feels here. Aaaaaa, junior high and Gun and Rose's. I'll have you know cuteness that he is one of the best rock singers of all time when you consider singing range etc. And they were, hell they were magic when they formed.
Rolling into middle school the first time and someone had a boom box blasting "welcome to the jungle" and it was pandemonium... This album was new at the time lol
I'll give you a piece of trivia one of the girls in the video is Erin Everly the daughter of one of the Everly Brothers and she was Axl's girlfriend at the time.
You should check out the interview with Slash where he talks about how Rory Gallagher influenced him. That's why I've been requesting you to do Rory Gallagher Bullfrog Blues on The Old Grey Whistle Test video. It doesn't have over a billion views like this vid has, it has less than 500,000, but it is a hidden gem among the videos with 1 million plus views. PLEASE try to react to it !!! 🙏✌️
A pretty cool story during the demo recording of this song, the demo producer suggested adding a breakdown at the end of the song. The band agreed, but didn’t know what to do. While listening to the demo on a loop, Axl Rose kept saying to himself, “Where do we go? Where do we go now” (meaning he didn’t know what to do for a breakdown). The demo producer said, ‘why not sing that?’ And that’s where the “where do we go now” breakdown came from😎🤘🏼
The look you had going at like 4:52 was perfect. 100% in the music. You get it. I am so glad to see people appreciating music, vibing together, and spreading love and peace. It's a beautiful thing! One love
LET'S GOOOOOOO GNR TIME My suggestions: estranged don't cry rocket queen double talkin' jive you're crazy shadow of your love civil war used to love her
My favorite Rock band. Axl has such a great voice and Slash is just Slash. 🤘 And people don't give Steven enough credit, he's got some great Drumming skills.
I remember when I first heard this song. I was blown away. I kept thinking it must be a band from the early 70s I somehow missed. Then I thought, finally... a new pure rock n roll band.
Fun fact: Slash's intro riff is actually what used to be his warm-up for guitar. He would play it as a warm-up and the band liked it enough to include it in a song.
The music from the 80's was just the best. The hair bands hard rock like Guns N' Roses, the new wave like the Cars and Blondie, the jazz music like Chuck Mangione and Spyro Gyra, The artists from the late 70's like the Eagles and KISS, Dance music like from Debarge, musicians from the 60's like Smokey Robinson. It was any and everything you could want.
This song came out when I was pregnant w my 1st daughter. Will always make me think of her and how I'd do everything to protect both of my girls from anything I can. ❤❤❤
I think I saw that this song is in the Guinness book of world records as the most played, listened, covered song of all time. Might want to google that. But you see why. GnR is amazing!
@@keithferris9574 He has redeemed himself and doesn’t seem to have ego problems anymore. At least Axl, Slash and Duff are touring together again, so what ever shit went down between all of them it should be enough for us outsiders that they have forgiven to eatch other. P.S. Axl sure did have issues back then but none of the guys were without blame, they all had huge problems.
Other one of my GNR favorites. I used to sing this song to my daughters, I still do to this day and all three of my daughters are in their 30s Now I can sing it to my middle daughter’s 7 children, the youngest is 3 months old
My all-time favourite band. Been listening to them for 28 years. I was too young to see them in 94, but I wish I had. I've seen the original band twice since 2011 and Slash with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators a couple of years ago. Slash is Awesome enough with GNR, but when I saw him without them, I saw how crazy good he is. This song has one of his best, if not his best guitar solo.
It was nuts when they came out with this song, and Welcome To The Jungle'. The 80s had so many genres popular, then gone. This came out when radio-type long hair bands were big, and the big 4 heavy metal bands were getting big. It seemed like nothing could come out and matter much, but these ones combined blues with their feelings and heavy style. They took it all, and it was a great surprise... of course that could just be where I lived at the time...
Originally the song started from Slash trying to mimic a Snow Cone truck circus music sound while they were taking a break during rehearsal. Axl heard it and wanted Slash to play it again. And started from there.
Slash (Saul Hudson) was born in England. His Mom was a Fashion Designer for many Famous Musicians. She dated David Bowie. They moved to L.A. after his parents divorced.
Jamel you are on fire w Guns and Roses 🌹 🔥🔥🔥 loving it!! Sweet child won all our 💕..Slash on the guitar and the Axel Strut!! Woo hoo 🙆♀️.. Again, you are an amazing reactor and human being!
Omg you are sooo right! I was always annoyed by the way he danced. I thought someone should tell him how awkward he looked lol! But yes, definitely Davey Jones!!! :)
I was kid in 80s I love 80s . I don't if it's just me guns n roses just sounds better then than today especially axl rose. 🤷🏼♀️ Music then just amazing got into heart n soul!
According to some charts Axl Rose has one of the vocal ranges in modern rock. It was the combination of his unique voice and Slash's guitar work that made their music sound like some sort of primal force making a suicide run at all your inner demons with the sole purpose of driving them out with a sonic wall of fire. Of all the music I miss from that era, I miss their's the most.
I always thought of Guns N Roses in the Led Zeppelin vain. Heavy, but not Heavy Metal, Bluesy but not straight Blues. Traditional Rock style but definitely innovative. And of course great singer & musicians. Like Zep; trendsetters not followers.
Sweet Child O'Mine is what I'd almost call middle of the road rock. I seem to remember Guns N' Roses were considered pretty heavy rock and anarchic back in early late 80s/early 90s.
@@jivebunny3765 I agree that is how they were looked at then. No argument here. I'm just saying that I consider them not easily pigeonholed like not easy to pigeonhole LZ. GNR a level or two below LZ, but still unique.
@@jivebunny3765 Well considering a lot of the 'rock' getting attention then was hair band / pop rock they were harder than that. One mans anarchic is another's breath of fresh air
IMO: I'd rather see a larger video than the KEEP GREAT MUSIC ALIVE at the top.

Well that brought me back to the high school days! 😃
@@patrick86806 Took me back to my mid-1940s. ;-) And I didn't discover GnR until 2005.
Exactly
This was played at my friends funeral. He died in 1988 was 18 years old. The song will always hold a special place in my heart.
Rest In Peace to your friend. 🕊️
Hope his/her memory be eternal!
May he rest in peace sweetie.
Forever young. In his honor live a full life. I lost my best friend at 12. And another best pal at 23. Whenever life got very difficult the memory their faces and voices cheered me on. You do the same.
My my my...this was THE song of my teenage years....the volume goes up in the car whenever it plays....fun times back then....
A song that lives as ... ⚡Flashbacks to warm nights🚘... & a 💼suitcase of 💭memories 🗯 that i almost left behind...
We had awesome music in the 80’s . I was a teenager then also. Nothing will ever top the music we had while growing up! 👍
Appetite for Destruction is one of the best rock albums of all time brother.
🤘🎩🤘
I second this. Especially since it was also their debut album. Hard to get much better than Appetite for a debut!
That's the album I ruined my hearing with 🤣
Damn right.
My 20 yr old son was born to it!
Axl's voice with Slash's guitar playing are perfect for one another! They compliment each other so well... the whole band does.. ❤❤❤ Guns N' Roses 🥰❤
I don't care how old I get, if this song or November Rain is playing, I'm jamming!
Agreed. They are those songs if you are coming home from work you circle the block till they are over.
If you don't hear this song at a rock festival, you're at the wrong event.
knocking on heavens door too
Same here 💯
I have a hard time believing ANYONE in America hasn’t heard this song - then my teenaged kids remind me that, “You’re old.”
Me too but we were lucky to grow up with this incredible music. I'm 65 & still a rocker for ever.😂😂
Axl Voice is Amazing👌Slash is just Bloody Brilliant.Love this track👍❤
I think people underestimate is singing ability
Bless you for NOT interrupting Slash's solo. That guy is a fantastic player who should always be heard through his complete solos.
I read that the “where do we go?” part they improvised because they literally didn’t know what to do after that sick af solo
That's probably true.
Huh...that's cool
It is in their auto bios. True.
Jamel, I've been playing guitar for over 25 years and this songs guitar solo is one of my all time favorites! My all time favorite GnR song is NIGHT TRAIN. It has a killer solo as well. Would love a reaction to it. 🎸
Gotta be one of the greatest guitar riff song intos of all time...a special band right place right time.. amazing sound💯...love you Jamal..Happy New Year💗
My mom used to sing this to me as a lullaby when I was little; it's "our song" to this day, and I think of her whenever I hear it.

Guitar solo at the beginning may be the best of all time. Immediately recognizable

Beast on a guitar...........

He takes his Axe and slashes through every song. 😉
Very witty!!
I remember when this song came out it was huge.
Still remember all the lyrics. Love this song and early Guns N’ Roses.
That opening guitar riff was what Slash used to warm up. Axl heard it while they were all living together and started writing words to go with it.
Love Guns & Roses, theres no one got a voice as distinctive as Axl"s he was a pretty cute guy too.
Just wanted to say i was in a discount chain of shops here in UK which sell craft items, books artist materials & just a year ago i was looking through their reduced books section & nearly dropped to my knees when i picked up a huge hardback book with amazing photos of the History of Guns & Roses ..

One of things about Slash is if you notice right after the solo he still playing. Just adding little notes, like a backup singer on the guitar. Amazing!

Definitely my favorite solo! 🤘
Mine too Alan.
Please do civil war its very powerful and underrated song !!
Killer song!
With full intro plz!
Yes please!!
Tis is!
Agreed
I was 18 years old in 1988 when “GnR” were the biggest band in the world. Greatest time in my life!
This song saved rock music. Before it was released there was no hoid rock being aired on radio they saved they 80's an early 90's
LET'S GOOOOOOO GNR TIME
My suggestions:
estranged

@@hanneseck6437 Oh yeah how could I forget those
You should definitely react to Paradise City.
And Welcome to the Jungle
My Michele
Pretty much anything from and everything from Apretite.
He did and it was blocked. He put it on Vimeo you can watch it there.
Well known song of theirs. It's a good one.
My favorite Rock band. Axl has such a great voice and Slash is just Slash. 🤘 And people don't give Steven enough credit, he's got some great Drumming skills.
Love it Jamel. Lots of excellent songs on Appetite for Destruction!
Literally all of them 🤘
SLASH is a Legend!!! That solo is 🔥🔥🔥 One of the greatest bands ever!
I remember when I first heard this song. I was blown away. I kept thinking it must be a band from the early 70s I somehow missed. Then I thought, finally... a new pure rock n roll band.
A nice power ballad from them and that riff is iconic.
Undeniably one of the best debuts ever. Loaded top to bottom. 5hey had such a great run,but tore themselves apart.
So sad. They were amazing.
Fun fact: Slash's intro riff is actually what used to be his warm-up for guitar. He would play it as a warm-up and the band liked it enough to include it in a song.
GNR firing on all cylinders here!! Axl with the snake dance, Slash, Duff, Izzy, & Steven all killing it!!
This is in my top 5 songs. I love to see people appreciate this perfection.
The music from the 80's was just the best. The hair bands hard rock like Guns N' Roses, the new wave like the Cars and Blondie, the jazz music like Chuck Mangione and Spyro Gyra, The artists from the late 70's like the Eagles and KISS, Dance music like from Debarge, musicians from the 60's like Smokey Robinson. It was any and everything you could want.
Saw them in Miami in 1991 in Miami. New Years eve. saved the stub! Love it!
This song came out when I was pregnant w my 1st daughter. Will always make me think of her and how I'd do everything to protect both of my girls from anything I can. ❤❤❤
Gotta love those classic Axl Rose dance moves!
I think I saw that this song is in the Guinness book of world records as the most played, listened, covered song of all time. Might want to google that. But you see why. GnR is amazing!
Loved dancing to this song "back in the day" - and still love it now at 56!!
They SHOULD have been the greatest rock band ever. Shame they blew up like they did.
Can u tell me how they blew up ?
@@miminlenthang1047 basically Axl Rose is a huge asshole.
@@keithferris9574 He has redeemed himself and doesn’t seem to have ego problems anymore. At least Axl, Slash and Duff are touring together again, so what ever shit went down between all of them it should be enough for us outsiders that they have forgiven to eatch other. P.S. Axl sure did have issues back then but none of the guys were without blame, they all had huge problems.
I loooved all the “Hair Bands” of the ‘80’s &’90’s. This song for Guns and Roses was a huge hit for them. And of course Slash was phenomenal!!!
that solo just gets me everytime...
Other one of my GNR favorites. I used to sing this song to my daughters, I still do to this day and all three of my daughters are in their 30s Now I can sing it to my middle daughter’s 7 children, the youngest is 3 months old
I was in 3rd grade, at the skating rink, Friday night, this song came on and everyone hit the floor.
I trasported when I had 12 years old,I love Guns N Roses. All sweet memories
Of all thier music, it's this one I come back to. Mr Brownstone, My My My, Paradise City.
My all-time favourite band. Been listening to them for 28 years. I was too young to see them in 94, but I wish I had. I've seen the original band twice since 2011 and Slash with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators a couple of years ago. Slash is Awesome enough with GNR, but when I saw him without them, I saw how crazy good he is. This song has one of his best, if not his best guitar solo.
Slash's solo is my all time favorite guitar solo. I think I got tinnitus from going to there shows in my teenage years. Worth it.
GNR's Appetite For Destruction is one of the best Rock albums ever..IMO!
This song is so poetic..beautiful lyrics.
Stay safe and happy!✌❤🎶😁
Sadly this version is just a cut and paste of sections of the full length version, which you absolutely should litsten to!
Friggn hate when music videos do that
Yeah, like how "Down With The Sickness" by Disturbed gets chopped up. And many other great songs by great bands do.
A crime! Like watching a movie edited for tv!
No one ever plays the full version of Black Number One or Love You To Death.
Longer version is better I never watch this video for that reason
Written for Erin Everly daughter of Don Everly from the Everly brothers. Dark haired girl in video.
It was nuts when they came out with this song, and Welcome To The Jungle'. The 80s had so many genres popular, then gone. This came out when radio-type long hair bands were big, and the big 4 heavy metal bands were getting big. It seemed like nothing could come out and matter much, but these ones combined blues with their feelings and heavy style. They took it all, and it was a great surprise... of course that could just be where I lived at the time...
Originally the song started from Slash trying to mimic a Snow Cone truck circus music sound while they were taking a break during rehearsal. Axl heard it and wanted Slash to play it again. And started from there.
Slash (Saul Hudson) was born in England. His Mom was a Fashion Designer for many Famous Musicians. She dated David Bowie. They moved to L.A. after his parents divorced.
Jamel you are on fire w Guns and Roses 🌹 🔥🔥🔥 loving it!! Sweet child won all our 💕..Slash on the guitar and the Axel Strut!! Woo hoo 🙆♀️.. Again, you are an amazing reactor and human being!
There it is! “The Davey Jones, from The Monkees Dance”!!
Omg you are sooo right! I was always annoyed by the way he danced. I thought someone should tell him how awkward he looked lol! But yes, definitely Davey Jones!!! :)
@@sherribaldwin2239 Nooo! I Love his Snake Dance!! Its "One of a kind!"💜😉😛😛😛😛
Sexy as hell!
That dance ...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Senior in HS when this dropped like a damn bomb and ended the era of 80's pop
I was kid in 80s I love 80s . I don't if it's just me guns n roses just sounds better then than today especially axl rose. 🤷🏼♀️ Music then just amazing got into heart n soul!
According to some charts Axl Rose has one of the vocal ranges in modern rock. It was the combination of his unique voice and Slash's guitar work that made their music sound like some sort of primal force making a suicide run at all your inner demons with the sole purpose of driving them out with a sonic wall of fire. Of all the music I miss from that era, I miss their's the most.
November rain is a great song with a good video too. Also Patience
Isn't November rain originally a Beatles song?
@@danielflynn8530 no
He did November Rain a few days ago. Hit him a little hard for personal reasons 🥺
I always thought of Guns N Roses in the Led Zeppelin vain. Heavy, but not Heavy Metal, Bluesy but not straight Blues. Traditional Rock style but definitely innovative. And of course great singer & musicians. Like Zep; trendsetters not followers.
Sweet Child O'Mine is what I'd almost call middle of the road rock. I seem to remember Guns N' Roses were considered pretty heavy rock and anarchic back in early late 80s/early 90s.
@@jivebunny3765 I agree that is how they were looked at then. No argument here. I'm just saying that I consider them not easily pigeonholed like not easy to pigeonhole LZ. GNR a level or two below LZ, but still unique.
Same with def leppard. After I listen to all of a hysteria cassette
@@jivebunny3765 Well considering a lot of the 'rock' getting attention then was hair band / pop rock they were harder than that. One mans anarchic is another's breath of fresh air
More Aerosmith and Queen than Zeppelin.
Never gets old ..these are my teen years I love it such talent
