Axl Rose has been named as one of the greatest singers by various media outlets and Rolling Stone magazine. The lead singer Axl Rose has one of the greatest vocal ‘range’ in male singers 😃
Yup...absolutely it is. Arguably, one of the best "initial," first LP releases in music history. It helped GnR blow the walls down at a particular time when music was a bit bland, and needed a good kick in the ass to get things going again. Not particularly complicated music, but some good ol Rock n Roll, and just what the doctor ordered at the time. One of those bands that let "ego" (and of course, a bit of substance abuse), tear em down, and left us music fans to wonder "what if?" Even if there'd not been another song done after AFD, I believe it would have been more than enough to vault these dudes to legendary status.
@Zayden Jose none of my business, but it sounds like it's time for a trade-in and get a newer model. And now that the "how" of it is on a public forum linked to you, she's gonna change things with the quickest. Either way, covert operations have now started, and the death knell on the relationship has already sounded. Ex-fil ahead of a "scorched earth" policy. Burn everything down so she can't use it. Better luck with the next one....
@@drew65sep agreed. I remember rock at the time was getting stagnant and then this album hits and this song drops on the radio and MTv (back when MTv was about music). It had the snarl and and in your face that rock had seemed to be losing at the time.
@@SgtSplatter782 absolutely bro...I graduated high-school in '83, and on to some college that I never finished before getting lucky and landing the good job that I eventually would retire from. Lol, most of the 80's are still a blur...but, I can get my time frame halfway correct by the music that came out, and what vehicle I had. Pretty bad, but it's called the "80's of excess" for a reason. There was some really kick-ass music that came to be back then...
This band, and this song, helped shape the sound of metal in the late 80's and 90's! They have so many great tunes... I can't wait to watch you guys reacting to more of their stuff... Enjoy!
True story, talent scouts went to see G&R when they were just started out, they said in the office that G&R was the most volatile,raw energy they had seen and kids are going to love them; they're dangerous! There was some who were trying to prevent them from getting a record deal even.
Actually it was inspired when Axl hit NYC ... Before going to L.A and forming GnR.. Duff was talking about it on 3 Chords & The Truth his XM Radio show.. He landed somewhere in the Bronx where did not need to be and it made even him shiver...lol
I heard something similar about Slipknot’s song Eyeless. Where (I believe) Cory Taylor heard a homeless man repeating the phrase “you can’t see California without Marlin Brando’s eyes.” And it ended up in the song; though I don’t know how true that is.
@@Lee4364 yea, supposedly Axle said some little old black man looked at him and said, "you know where you are? You in the Jungle baby". "You're gonna die"
my favorites are nightrain rocket queen sweet child o mine welcome to the jungle patience don't cry paradise city november rain knockin'on heavens door civil war
My favorites: You Could be Mine & Estranged tied for first place Don't Cry Paradise City Don't Cry (Alternate Version) Live and Let Die Welcome to the Jungle November Rain Rocket Queen And a bit more but I forget.
One of the best Rock bands ever. Such a great song and they definitely have many more where this came from. Fun Fact: The sound at the beginning when he's getting off the Bus is actually Axl singing. His voice is amazing. 🤘
Oh the screaming- the guitar- the energy......buckle up folks.....🤘😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎼🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥nice headbanging.....girllllll....you look like you been doing that since the 80’s.....go ahead......get it !!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1987. Popped the appetite cassette into my stereo. Opening strains of welcome to the jungle started. 2 minutes later my rock loving dad walked in and said "who the f is that??" . Crank it and open your door
A lot has been described below. Haven't seen it mentioned yet, that when Axl was tied in that chair with the straitjacket, it was like a cover from the movie "A Clockwork Orange" when part of it had Malcolm McDowell in a mental mansion... 1971 I think... Stanley Kubrick
The song was about Axle Rose stepping off the Greyhound bus in LA coming from Indiana, he was a bit shocked by his surroundings, and in the words of Axl Rose “a little old black man came up to me and said “welcome to the jungle” (from GnR Live at the Ritz)
The lineup of Gun'N'Roses at the time of this song's original release: Axel Rose - lead vocals Slash - lead guitar (he's the one wearing the top hat) Izzy Spradlin - rhythm guitar Duff Mackagin - bass Steven Adler - drums
You are making me smile! GNR is one of the GOAT! I saw them live in concert in late 80’s at the height of Appetite For Destruction album. They even better live!
Welcome to the BEST GLAM METAL EVER. Do you ever wonder why people still talk about 80’s music? Wonder no more 😁! It was the decade of everything EXCESS, sex, drugs, and Rock n Roll! Oh man!!!!! To go back for a day........need I say more? I’d be there in a minute. From the people of my age, the 80’s were filled with some of the greatest music EVER!!! Glad to see even the younger generations can see the absolute excellence of the 80’s. It was a decade, and I’ve been through a few, of some of the best music that ever was, is, or ever will be. That’s why we are still here listening to it. You guys are cute! Glad you can enjoy some of the most fun music in history. You also might want to back even a little further, to when Rock truly started, 60’s and 70’s. It truly was GREAT!! Zeppelin, The Stones, The Who, etc., etc., to the 70’s, Pink Floyd (really started in the extreme late 60’s), Lynyrd Skynyrd, Boston, Bob Seger, Tom Petty, and a million more!!! Join the club, Rock was, is, and will always be the place to visit when I’m .......feeling a bit down!! But don’t forget the New Wave era of the 80’s, Duran Duran, The B52’s, Roxette, Depeche Mode, The Police, The Cars, Squeeze, The Clash, Depeche Mode, etc., etc., and even mainstream artists, MICHAEL JACKSON, to many thousands to name, but you get the point. All around, such great music from such a pivotal time in music history Enjoy the ride 🤘🤘🤘
One of my favorite bands of all time! MJ will always be my #1 but GNR is in the top 10! React to MJ and Slash together in “Give In To Me!” It’s amazing!! ❤️
Singer Axl Rose and Guitarist Tracii Guns joined their bands Hollywood Rose and LA Guns and formed Guns n Roses. Tracii Guns went back to LA Guns. Both of those bands are connected.
Slash is the only guitarist who was never a technical guitar player but he always let the guitar sing for him thts why his the most richest n the most popular guitarist on the world
You want to see the real guns and roses do knocking on heavens door and paradise city from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. Best live band ever! Freddie would be proud and you'll love it!
great to see you again dears.. OK, you picked some old shcool this time.. are you sure your are ready? Love you both ♥ Let's rock this joint! (Mel becomes instand fangirl) LOL.. I love you dears.. funny that was 87, now is 21.. same crap >.> wonder if that is on accident
I grew up on GNR 🤘🏻 have you guys listened to it's so easy, mr brownstone, november rain, sweet child o mine? You may also like the band whitesnake! Slow and easy, still of the night, slide it in and is this love are my favorite songs by them.
I was at the riot at the riverport in St. LOUIS. When Axel jumped off the stage on top of the guy with the camera, I was behind the guy. We all went tumbling down!! People tore up everything they could. There cops, po po dogs, helicopters , news ppl , Luckily I made it out.
I'm smiling and I just subscribed. Your reaction is the same as mine was when I first saw it in 1987. Dangerous and explosive is exactly how I described it. You guys enthusiasm is amazing. You are awesome...and Mel is adorable. SO GLAD I watched this video!
Singer Axl Rose has a 5 octave range but often surpasses that to a C6 - this band fell apart over addictions and some have beat that now- I think they could have made more amazing music if they had worked through their issues. Amazing musicians!
Mr Brownstone is a definite. This is from back in my day. I think I was 18 or 19 when I first heard this song. I HAD to have the album. Then Sweet Child O Mine came out and EVERYBODY was onto them then. LOL Good times... Great memories. BTW... This entire album is worth buying. Not a bad song on it.
Ah, the first Guns `n Roses song I ever heard. I was 12-13, I wanted the album so bad, but didn't have any money. But my younger sisters birthday was coming up so I persuaded her that she had to buy it (and of course let me listen to it as much as I wanted) for the money she got for her birthday. This was before the cover was banned so a 9 year old girl bought a Appetite for destruction LP with a rape-killing machine on the cover (yes this was when the album first came out, and yes our mother was present and had no objections, she was always pretty cool about things like that...). 😂
First of all, I had no idea that Slash was biracial (his mom was Kenya and his father was from California and a studio guitar player) 2nd, Axl Rose has the voice of...good grief! 3rd, I remember this song being in the movie "Lean on Me" with Morgan Freeman when they were showing how bad the high school was (pregnancy, gangs, drugs, skipping school, pimps, all kinds of craziness). But when Mr Clark became principal, everything changed. Expeditiously 😂
Axl Rose has been named as one of the greatest singers by various media outlets and Rolling Stone magazine. The lead singer Axl Rose has one of the greatest vocal ‘range’ in male singers 😃
Male and female. His range was wider than Mariah Careys
@@VVinsanitYY dang Mariah Carey almost got up to him
Brad delp, Freddie mercury, David Coverdale, Axl, list goes on
Uh uh! Ian Gillan has phenomenal range!
You might want to hear John Farnhams version of Black dog . But yes Axle had a 5 octave range but he cant sing the variety that John could sing.
Whole album is sick but axls swag and tone of aggression in his voice is just the best iv heard on any rock track

By far the best front man of a rock group at the point he was unreal

This is not a metal band
It's a rock band
@@MJ-ul9ge he said this song "shaped" and didnt say it is "metal"
Singer is Axel Rose
Lead guitar is Slash
Bass is Duff
Rhythm guitar is Gilby
Drummer is Steven Adler
Izzy?
@@balucious you are correct! I was thinking Izzy. Gilby Clark replaced Izzy and Matt Sorrum replaced Steven Adler right?
@@seanwolf8056 You sir, are also correct!
I think Steven Adler died. 🤔
@@Mostopinionatedmanofalltime hashanah no Steven is alive ofc! In fact Steven played some songs with GnR back on 2016

Half the band was deep into black tar heroin at the time which made them a risky investment to say the least.
Slash, the guitarist played guitar on several Michael Jackson tracks.
He's still awesome anyway, though!
Yes! One of my favorite collaborations MJ does with another artist!
Give In To Me❣️
Great stuff! Lenny Kravitz too, also one of my favorites in the whole wide world since his debut in 1991... Peace Y'all
And Slash is one of the few guitarists Prince allowed to join him.
Quit talking about Michael Jackson
All these years later I cannot hear this riff without a smile and rush of energy. It just get you in the mood for life.
This was inspired by Axel Rose, who got off the bus in LA, to hear a homeless man say, "welcome to the jungle, now you're gonna die!"
Actually it was inspired when Axl hit NYC ... Before going to L.A and forming GnR.. Duff was talking about it on 3 Chords & The Truth his XM Radio show.. He landed somewhere in the Bronx where did not need to be and it made even him shiver...lol

@@rediron44 Yes Sir.. scared him enough to go to LA...lol
Actually a friend in Seattle told him the line
Now that is rock and roll. I think this might be the most rocked out song ever. The pure energy.
They were so good...the whole song is crafted perfectly start to finish...so much energy man damn!

He had an octave range of 5 or 6. Pretty amazing
One of the best Rock bands ever. Such a great song and they definitely have many more where this came from. Fun Fact: The sound at the beginning when he's getting off the Bus is actually Axl singing. His voice is amazing. 🤘
"Sweet Child of Mine"

bad G n R songs.
Thanks & good luck with your

One of all time greats! Guns N Roses one of the best all times hair bands! ❤️ the reaction as always!
1987. Popped the appetite cassette into my stereo. Opening strains of welcome to the jungle started. 2 minutes later my rock loving dad walked in and said "who the f is that??" . Crank it and open your door
It was awesome watching you two enjoy the song so much!
Guns'n'Roses...what else? I'm a great fan of Guns since 1988... I ♥️ Guns.
Please Rocket Queen...
Anyone else immediately await the bass line from It's So Easy to kick in at the end of the song lol
Yeppers! Lol!🤘
Dun dun dunun dun dun dunna
That's probably incomprehensible to the spotify generation 😂
Their first song released, instant classic. They announced themselves and put everyone on point. 1987
That note at the start summed up guns n roses and what they were all about, pure attitude and raw aggression
That's exactly how AXL steals your girl.
Steven Adler has left the chat
totally amazing wild song.
This is the one. The best reaction to this song.
A lot has been described below. Haven't seen it mentioned yet, that when Axl was tied in that chair with the straitjacket, it was like a cover from the movie "A Clockwork Orange" when part of it had Malcolm McDowell in a mental mansion... 1971 I think... Stanley Kubrick

I loved your reaction the best!
My mom introduced me to them, grateful she did
He has the highest voice in rock!!
Axl Rose had some amazing vocals and Slash is a guitar legend…this song is about the LA streets in the 80’s
You are making me smile! GNR is one of the GOAT! I saw them live in concert in late 80’s at the height of Appetite For Destruction album. They even better live!
YOU TWO ARE SIMPLY THE BESTTTTTT!
I saw them live as the opening act for Motley Crue back in 1987

Axel, has one of the highest vocal ranges in rock music!
There’s a documentary on dish about them. Watched it a couple of weeks ago.
Those lyrics are raw
Singer Axl Rose and Guitarist Tracii Guns joined their bands Hollywood Rose and LA Guns and formed Guns n Roses. Tracii Guns went back to LA Guns. Both of those bands are connected.
The guitarist in the top hat and fro is half black and half Jewish (Slash) and is pretty legendary, so is Axle for his voice.
Gen are rock gods..never gets old..Mr brownstone or my michelle
Gnr
Seen Guns n Roses with Metallica n Faith No More on the Monsters of Rock Tour in 1992.

AXL ROSE 🌹 is the lead vocalist when this album came out I was 12
This album (Appetite for Destruction) is definitely one of the best hard rock albums of all time start to finish it’s a masterpiece!
I was at the riot at the riverport in St. LOUIS. When Axel jumped off the stage on top of the guy with the camera, I was behind the guy. We all went tumbling down!! People tore up everything they could. There cops, po po dogs, helicopters , news ppl , Luckily I made it out.
Great reactions folks! Ive the same hair as Slash only its red lol
Watching you guys react to this made me reminisce on my first time finding this song as a kid. Truly legendary song. Always will be.
I'm smiling and I just subscribed. Your reaction is the same as mine was when I first saw it in 1987. Dangerous and explosive is exactly how I described it. You guys enthusiasm is amazing. You are awesome...and Mel is adorable. SO GLAD I watched this video!

Then Sweet Child O Mine came out and EVERYBODY was onto them then. LOL Good times... Great memories. BTW... This entire album is worth buying. Not a bad song on it.
You are now true Metal Heads!!!!
love this one!!
Appetite is classiic
Guns N’ Roses been telling people how gangster and dirty Los Angeles is outside of NWA.
Nice.....nailed it
I adore you, Melllll!!!
these two are funny reacting to really good music ;-;

First of all, I had no idea that Slash was biracial (his mom was Kenya and his father was from California and a studio guitar player)
2nd, Axl Rose has the voice of...good grief!
3rd, I remember this song being in the movie "Lean on Me" with Morgan Freeman when they were showing how bad the high school was (pregnancy, gangs, drugs, skipping school, pimps, all kinds of craziness). But when Mr Clark became principal, everything changed. Expeditiously 😂
Muy buena reacción
