The Rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin gets overlooked but is one of the greatest rock guitarist ever. He is the reason for gnrs beautiful sleazy rock n roll sound
Couldn't agree more...Slash gets all the hype, but those who know, know Izzy was the real driving force to GnR's guitar sound. He and Duff don't get near enough credit for what they contributed
They lost some swagger when Steven Adler was fired. Sorum was a great drummer and more technical, but the swing from Adler was the reason “Appetite for Destruction” was so perfect.
@@soundbreak7 Yeah. All wrecked the band because he was an A-hole. And I said Matt Sorum was a better drummer. But even Izzy Stradlin said that Adler fitted the band better.
Slash's guitar stands out, but the "digging the tunnel" that makes the shape of the song is Izzy Stradlin, the rythym guitarist. He was one of Guns N' Roses main songwriters and they were never the same once he left.
Everyone always talks about Axl and Slash but to me Izzy was a powerful creative force in the band as much as the other 2. It's like the Beatles, Paul McCartney and John Lennon are the more famous ones but Georges Harrison also created great songs.
@Bilbo Bass Tell me about all the great Guns N' Roses songs and albums that came after Izzy then. If he supposedly contributed so little then why did they do nothing of note after he left?
Back in the good old days when music albums still came with song lyrics, I was browsing through the lyrics booklet of G'n'R album, names like Izzy and Duff sure made a lot of appearences.
I so idolized this song when it came out in 1991. I couldn’t get enough of it and still listen to it frequently. This is Guns & Roses at their ABSOLUTE best!
Slash's lead work in this still kickin everybody's ass decades later.. What an absolutely brilliantly crafted rock song. The fact that it was used in T2 makes this a masterpiece that will live on through the ages..
In this episode of Brad & Lex, the frequent infectious kicks and snares turn Brad's signature "side to side sway" into more of an interrupted "sway bop" as Lex digs right in from the jump and gives the track back what it gives her while giving us a jubilant "rock bop".
Some people may be able to sound somewhat similar to Axl, but in my opinion, no one else has the Axl vibe & charisma. Only Axl can have that whole package: vocals, vibe & charisma :)
My wife was friends of Axl and he was highly misunderstood. He has lots of demons that come out when he is in front of the public. But when you get to know him outside of being "the front man of GNR" he is genuinely a good guy trying to fight some serious battles. And the woman he's referring to in this song was actually a quite abusive woman, yet like you mentioned, he was devastated when they broke up.
A lot of guitarists would describe what Lex is saying as “Cutting through the mix”. Slash (and a few other great guitarists) have a way of making the guitar act like a secondary lead singer, so the sound cuts through the mix of the drums and bass, and doesn’t get engulfed by their tones. Many guitarists wait for the guitar solo to do that, but Slash, and others, can do it in the middle of a verse or chorus, without detracting from the song.
He also uses a far brighter tone than most people realise. They think of that fat, warm neck pickup sound when they think of him. But his general tone is on the bright side for a Les Paul.
I get what is being said, but that's just the distinction between lead guitar and rhythm guitar. The rhythm guitar (Izzy) works in unison with the bass (Duff) and drums (Matt) to keep the song moving forward. The lead guitar (Slash), much like the vocalist (Axl), contributes to break up what would otherwise be just a monotonous rhythm. Contributing in that fashion does place the lead guitar in the same light as the vocalist.
This song takes me waaaay back to my junior high years. One of my top 5 favorite GN’R songs. My overall favorite off the Use Your Illusion albums. I remember the music video was released when Terminator 2 came out. Cross promotion with Arnold and GN’R. Fantastic. Mmmmm…nostalgia.
@@mikethemotormouth fun fact, my dad was the stuntman for that chase scene on the bike....very obviously him when the the truck explodes in the back and he's on the front of the harley. I was also in jr high at the time and we all got to meet Arnold on the set....one of my favorite memories!
I love the way right from the beginning she was rocking and bobbing her head, making mean faces, jamming to this and reacting to this the way I did when I was 13 when this was brand new, this is so awesome what a great reaction 💯
I love the way Lex’s mind works. She’s very thoughtful, creative and has a unique way of hearing and seeing things in her mind’s eye. You two complement each other very well as a reaction duo and I’m sure it’s the same way in your relationship. Glad I stumbled onto your channel, definitely better late than never.
Yeah I usually tend to avoid clicking on couples bc it I generally find only one in actually into it and it just doesn’t work. For whatever reason I clicked anyways and man has that been the best decision I’ve made in quite some time. Brad is a lyrics guy and Lex “gets” the music side. Like you said they compliment each other so well
I think I've finally figured out what sets you two apart. We get one side reading the lyrics and laughing at the humor we know is imbedded in so many of these songs, and we get one side with just pure musical immersion. Best of both, so between you there isn't much missed.
It's amazing to me younger folks haven't heard so many of these songs.... I was born in 78 and heard so many classic songs by 90. 40s, 50, 60s, 70,s and 80s
Because kids are spoiled now and parents have them listen to their kids music in the car and then when they’re old enough they all have their headphones where they only stream what they search for rather than discovering new music. My friend with 5 year olds complained about how much they listened to kids pop and Disney soundtracks in the car and I was like, ummm it’s your car. You listen to your music.
Younger folks these days have access to so many more music options than you likely ever imagined back before the internet made EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY available whenever you want, for "free." That includes ALL decades of recorded music, not just the ones you mentioned, but the ones before AND the 3 decades since the 1980's--nearly half of which had such technological development that WHOEVER wants to can now produce music and make it available to anyone. In short, the world's gone through an insane revolution and been inundated by an insane amount of not only content, but means/ease of CREATING content, as well as a drastic increase in the number of ways in which to be "entertained" outside of music. Oh, and I forgot to mention, we don't just have access to primarily [insert your region here] music now either, but music from damn near the entire GLOBE. The amount of music you had easily available to you back in the day is a drop in the bucket compared to what's available now.
The year Terminator 2 came out my buddy's dad bought a LaserDisc player. The first movie he watched on it was Terminator 2. They invited my brother and I to come watch it. I was 9 or 10 years old. I I was already a huge Guns N Roses fan I remember getting so pumped up when this song came on during the motorcycle chase.
Brad, you have a Diamond by your side on that couch. Appreciate that brother, she's awesome. The beginning of the song was hilarious the way Lex was loving the music then suddenly at about 1:09 she looks so satisfied. G&R found her groove. Keep the reactions coming. Your videos make my evenings more enjoyable.
First things first : AWESOME TRACK! Secondly :Magnificent Choice!But most of all: I love the way Lex feels the song and describes it … and as a Man : I agree with Brad , that Axle let his pair hang on the lyrics. Y’all Rock!
YESSSS!!! I love GNR and this song! Nightrain, This I Love, Knockin on Heaven's Door, Yesterdays, 14 Years, Coma, Live and Let Die and There Was A Time are others you haven't done that I highly recommend!
His guitar definitely digs a tunnel on this one, and I say that as a guitar player. I found myself rocking out to this and I haven't heard it in years.
This was originally recorded during the making of appetite for destruction but saved for Use Your Illusion double album that was released several years later.
8:15 - What she means is that the solo is not contained, and just like in Santana songs it blends into other parts of the song, even during vocals... so you have a solo not being a "solo" per se, but a complementary guitar flooding the arrangements.
Finally!!! I've been waiting for this one! This is still one of my favourite workout songs and brings me back to my high school days. Just an FYI - Axl sings the song but it is about an old girlfriend of Izzy Stradlin. I feel like rumours and being a frontman, Axl takes the brunt of a lot of assumptions.
This song was how I discovered Terminator 2 was going to be a thing. Somehow I hadn't seen trailers for it then this came on MTV with clips from the movie. So, at the time, new GNR and a new Terminator movie! I was freaking out. When I finally saw Guns N Roses about 5 years ago they busted this out towards the end and along with the song Coma was the highlight of the night for me.
This was used on the soundtrack for terminator 2. To this day in the middle of the main guitar solo I still hear Arnold Schwarzenegger saying hasta la vista baby from the original video
GNR the Great Band of tha Generation, they were RAW in the music and the lyrics. The madre great covers too, like live and let die, knocking havens doors, since i don't have you.... Ufff a lot of material you need to see.
I love how Lex is on one side jammin to the music, and Brad is reading the lyrics with this look and laugh that says "yea bro, we've all been there" LOL
Great reaction. You guys get into it and pause at great points. My dude is groovin' and his lady is rockin'. Sheesh, the two of you should be in the band!
You two are so great, the world needs many more real folks like you! More GnR would be great to see you do. While I know you get lots of requests for November Rain, I personally would love to see you do ESTRANGED! To me it is their Greatest MASTERPIECE, heartbreak is a great driving force in beautiful music & this song pulls it off like no other!
This was on the Soundtrack for one of the most incredible movies ever made for its time. I walked out of the theater with my mind blown. The scene where the terminator turned to liquid to walk through the bars, then the gun got caught on the bar..... awesome. Arnold was as a big of a star as there was in the world at this point. GNR was huge at this point.
You guys are the Best! Slash Digs the tunnel is an epic way to describe G n R Songs! Lex your perspective is amazing and Brad your contributions complete the package. You both make me smile every time I watch one of your reactions.
This song was a perfect segue in the epic chase scene of the evil terminator and John Connor in Terminator 2, one of the greatest chase scenes in Hollywood cinematic history!!
The line: "With your bitch slap rappin and your cocaine tongue..." was printed on the inside cover of their debut album, Appetite For Destruction, several years before this song was recorded. It was an old unused lyric that never made it into a song on that first album.
I loved Guns n' Roses as a teenager when I just started learning English. The band was the reason I got pretty good at it. But since this isn't one of my favorite songs by them, I was never really aware of it's lyrics. Interesting 😅 They do have a lot of break off songs like this, though. I always liked 'You Ain't The First' and 'Used to Love Her' because they aren't the typical whiny songs about the topic. Greetings from Germany
Ach ja, das Mutterland. Frohe Weihnachten von Nordkalifornien, in der Nähe des roten Dreiecks, von Santa Cruz nach San Francisco, wo die Weißen Haie im dunklen Wasser lauern. so lange mein arier freund
Lol Dead Horse he's one of my least favorite songs from them with Bad Apples and Get in the Ring probably. But you have the right to like what you like :)
Izzy stradlin wrote the majority of the songs including you could be mine Axl wrote sweet child of mine live and let die is a Beatles cover and I think knocking on heavens door is a cover
This is the song that got me into GNR. I was never a fan until I watched Terminator 2 and when I heard it I was hooked after I bought it on cd single and played it relentlessly. This song is absolute badss and goes so well with the video showing clips of the film as Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted them to do the song for the film. Everything in that song is lit, first the drums, then bass guitar, then lead and rhythm guitars and Axl goes hell for leather with vocals. In my top 5 GNR songs and probably that best movie song & video ever imho.
Dig the tunnel...yes...a constant transition between rythm and lead guitar. That sounds like a new guitar dictionary term Excellent song...that manpower is what ruled the last thousands of years
digs the tunnel. Acts as an exhilaratingly serene guide through the background turmoil. Like the knowledge you've just won the lottery when trying to get off a crammed Chinese train in rush hour. I loved this song. I was around 10 when it came out, and whenever it came on I'd pretend to be a remorseless calculating killer robot :D
I remember when this album dropped in early 90's, I remember as a kid at least 1 house on the block would be playing these songs at any given day, random houses, didn't matter White Black Brown Didn't matter G'n'F'n'R was Everywhere lol and I know what Lex meant by digging the tunnel, she meant like Setting the Pace type of thing, like setting the attitude
The Part where axle says "why must you find another reason to cry" Brad had a little giggle to himself, like he could relate. I think many of us who have been in long term relationships can relate. Lol
I always felt that G'N'R more than any other band kind of held the torch that the Stones have carried for so long. Attitude, powerful riffs, rock 'n' roll. For more Slash, gotta be "Anastasia" next, with Myles Kennedy doing the vocals. You'll love it Lex!
I always loved this song with how Izzy's guitar comes in unison with Slash during the verse on the 3rd bar. He plays a straight 1 note power chord then comes back and starts playing with Slash. Really makes the song imo.
The official video adds so much to this song. It's clips of Guns N Roses concerts and Terminator 2. This song is very special to me, I love GNR and Terminator and Terminator 2 was the last film I saw in the cinema. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy not long after this so going to the cinema is risky for me, flashing images in a dark room
If you ever watched Terminator you would of course recognize this song. Guns 'n Roses is a band that will forever be considered one of the greats. Axel's voice with the great musicians of G 'n R was great.
The bass is an underrated part of this song too, so dope. Still one of the greatest hard rock intros of all-time, and pure epitome of "swag cock rock" at its best. So fucking epic 🤘
FIRST VIEW...FIRST LIKE ON THIS VID!!! GREAT REACTION, G'NR ARE BADASS!! ALSO...ALLOW ME TO BE THE FIRST TO WISH YOU BOTH AND YOUR FAMILIES A VERY HAPPY, SAFE AND JOYOUS HOLIDAY SEASON! AS ALWAYS, PEACE AND LOVE FROM BALTIMORE, MD. U.S.A.
I’ve never seen you guys before but I was so loving it. You guys have a really good chemistry I love that she likes to guitar, but you like the words. You definitely have a new sub here
It's awesome that our music is making a huge comeback...told people all the time you absolutely can't replace or duplicate these classics...real rock...😊😊yessir...I know cause I'm an 84,baby 😮
I freaking loved Terminator 2 and having this song on the movie soundtrack was fire.
Love T2 and GNR has been my number 1 since 1987. So yeah!
and Bad to the Bone....lol...
@@MsDesiree39 That scene in the movie was hilarious, ha!
@@MsDesiree39 wonder if it was a coincidence they reacted to both of them? Now I want them to do a T2 movie reaction

@@soundbreak7 Yeah. All wrecked the band because he was an A-hole. And I said Matt Sorum was a better drummer. But even Izzy Stradlin said that Adler fitted the band better.

@@Richarddraper Nothing of note? Not a guns fan I take it.
I so idolized this song when it came out in 1991. I couldn’t get enough of it and still listen to it frequently. This is Guns & Roses at their ABSOLUTE best!
Agree. It rocks. Now they should try "Used To Love Her" or "One in a Million".
Ninety one!
I am Effin’ old 😀
It hit SO hard with the Terminator 2 tie in video
One In A Million is a true masterpiece, but can you really get away with playing it in public these days??
Slash's lead work in this still kickin everybody's ass decades later.. What an absolutely brilliantly crafted rock song. The fact that it was used in T2 makes this a masterpiece that will live on through the ages..

👏 👏 I wuz gon' try'n say sumthin...but you said it well, Smitty Benzo.
Yes. The analyst versus the jammer.
Amazin'
That's a pretty accurate description, no more needs be said.
If I had friends like these two I wouldn’t need any other friends. What a great couple!
You get their personal relationship from these reactions? Wow.
The funniest thing about Axle's voice is that NO ONE else can sing these songs without it just sounding wrong.
That's so true
Steven Adler has a guy that can do a pretty decent go.
If you ever get the chance, go see Guns 4 Roses. Amazing tribute!
He covers AC/DC well also.
Some people may be able to sound somewhat similar to Axl, but in my opinion, no one else has the Axl vibe & charisma. Only Axl can have that whole package: vocals, vibe & charisma :)

Agree, and I think Lex is also hinting at a sense of leadership, like even outside of a guitar solo, there is a sense that he is leading the band.
@@stevedahlberg8680 I actually think Izzy's guitar is leading the band and Slash is polishing it out. Together they are phenomenal!
He also uses a far brighter tone than most people realise. They think of that fat, warm neck pickup sound when they think of him. But his general tone is on the bright side for a Les Paul.
Perfectly said. Slash is a guitar god!!!

Ach ja, das Mutterland. Frohe Weihnachten von Nordkalifornien, in der Nähe des roten Dreiecks, von Santa Cruz nach San Francisco, wo die Weißen Haie im dunklen Wasser lauern. so lange mein arier freund
Axel has such a badass “Oooowwwwww…..” in general but here it’s real good, dirty & mean. 🤘🎶
Great song, "Dead Horse" is another good one y'all should check out
Oooh yeah. Good, underrated one. Hard to go wrong with GNR though.
Lol Dead Horse he's one of my least favorite songs from them with Bad Apples and Get in the Ring probably. But you have the right to like what you like :)
Dead Horse and Garden of Eden are a must.
@@chaospoet Yes!
This song of Guns N' Roses blew my mind it's One of the best songs of rock and roll and the Movie T2 it's Pure dinamite
This song was on the Terminator 2 Soundtrack. Great song
Brad's reaction to the lyrics is priceless, he listens to the meaning behind the songs, that's what it's all about
Izzy stradlin wrote the majority of the songs including you could be mine Axl wrote sweet child of mine live and let die is a Beatles cover and I think knocking on heavens door is a cover
Lex: "I didn't really didn't listen to the lyrics at all" - aaaah she's getting it! Well done! Music first, words later, that's rock n' roll!
This is the song that got me into GNR. I was never a fan until I watched Terminator 2 and when I heard it I was hooked after I bought it on cd single and played it relentlessly. This song is absolute badss and goes so well with the video showing clips of the film as Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted them to do the song for the film. Everything in that song is lit, first the drums, then bass guitar, then lead and rhythm guitars and Axl goes hell for leather with vocals. In my top 5 GNR songs and probably that best movie song & video ever imho.
Love watching you guys in action! As a fellow uploader on youtube (vinyl and reaction videos) i am wishing you and your viewers a Merry Christmas!
It's time for GnR "Coma".
One of my favorites!!
5:54 bro the lyrics just spoke to you. You’re officially a fan. Gnr for ever
Fell in love with this song when I was around 10 years old and I first heard John Connor blasting it on his motor bike in T2 ❤
You could be mine is one of my favourites
Dig the tunnel...yes...a constant transition between rythm and lead guitar.
That sounds like a new guitar dictionary term
Excellent song...that manpower is what ruled the last thousands of years
I always loves Lex's analogies. They are classic. I do understand what she is saying though. Great reaction!!
I’ve waited so long for this song, thank you 🙏😁 I’d recommend night train from them live at Tokyo 1992
I think what Lex is trying to say is that Slash's tone sit's in the pocket really well.
OH YEAH....yall bangin today!!!...This is why the are legends of rock!!
I love that line.....
"WHY MUST YOU FIIIIND......ANOTHER REASON TO CRY??????????"
Dear people that make lyric videos: Please understand that every instrumental part of a song is not always a guitar solo.
Hahaha truth
My favorites are the ones that say "song break" during a solo.
Bass guitarist Duff and the drummer Matt sorum are killing it.
digs the tunnel. Acts as an exhilaratingly serene guide through the background turmoil. Like the knowledge you've just won the lottery when trying to get off a crammed Chinese train in rush hour.
I loved this song. I was around 10 when it came out, and whenever it came on I'd pretend to be a remorseless calculating killer robot :D
I remember when this album dropped in early 90's, I remember as a kid at least 1 house on the block would be playing these songs at any given day, random houses, didn't matter White Black Brown Didn't matter G'n'F'n'R was Everywhere lol and I know what Lex meant by digging the tunnel, she meant like Setting the Pace type of thing, like setting the attitude
Have you two been watching Terminator 2? That's the 2nd song in a row from that movie.
(Greatest movie ever btw)
Yes this is my favorite movie of all time, greetings from Chicago, Il USA.
Gotta be top 5 GNR songs. Probably my favorite.
The Part where axle says "why must you find another reason to cry" Brad had a little giggle to himself, like he could relate. I think many of us who have been in long term relationships can relate. Lol
I saw these guys live with Metallica in 1991 with 70,000 at San Diego stadium, GNR absolutely ROCKED 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻. They were amazing.
I am amazed at how the lyrics have nothing to do with a time-travelling cyborg.
All time classic. What makes GnR so good is they don't sound like anyone else!!
Brad... You gotta liven up dude... Lex is a legend!!! What a smile!!!
This song reminds me of being on the cusp of a great adventure.
This is my favorite GNR song!
I always felt that G'N'R more than any other band kind of held the torch that the Stones have carried for so long. Attitude, powerful riffs, rock 'n' roll. For more Slash, gotta be "Anastasia" next, with Myles Kennedy doing the vocals. You'll love it Lex!
They were more a continuation of Aerosmith than Stones IMO.
Absolutely!! "Anastasia" Live at The Roxy is killer! 🎸
Great song
I always loved this song with how Izzy's guitar comes in unison with Slash during the verse on the 3rd bar. He plays a straight 1 note power chord then comes back and starts playing with Slash. Really makes the song imo.
The official video adds so much to this song. It's clips of Guns N Roses concerts and Terminator 2.
This song is very special to me, I love GNR and Terminator and Terminator 2 was the last film I saw in the cinema. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy not long after this so going to the cinema is risky for me, flashing images in a dark room
The Tunnel is Izzy Stradlin on Rhythm guitar....
If you ever watched Terminator you would of course recognize this song. Guns 'n Roses is a band that will forever be considered one of the greats. Axel's voice with the great musicians of G 'n R was great.
Great song ...the scene when the big tow truck chases the kid on a dirt bike... I see brad smiled a little
The bass is an underrated part of this song too, so dope. Still one of the greatest hard rock intros of all-time, and pure epitome of "swag cock rock" at its best. So fucking epic 🤘
FIRST VIEW...FIRST LIKE ON THIS VID!!! GREAT REACTION, G'NR ARE BADASS!! ALSO...ALLOW ME TO BE THE FIRST TO WISH YOU BOTH AND YOUR FAMILIES A VERY HAPPY, SAFE AND JOYOUS HOLIDAY SEASON!
AS ALWAYS, PEACE AND LOVE FROM BALTIMORE, MD. U.S.A.
Finally! One of my favourites!
This was in Terminator 2, I'll be back.
Amazing Soundtrack from the best Terminator Movie 🔥🤘🔥
I’ve never seen you guys before but I was so loving it. You guys have a really good chemistry I love that she likes to guitar, but you like the words. You definitely have a new sub here
Yes, but Brad (usually) doesn't understand the words.
Lex is the Brains of the Duo.
Brad speaking 100% truth on the lyrical content and Lex showing her uncanny ability to pick out that guitar. 👍🏼
I think when Lex is saying "dig the tunnel" she means slash sets the tone and the pace for the song.
It's awesome that our music is making a huge comeback...told people all the time you absolutely can't replace or duplicate these classics...real rock...😊😊yessir...I know cause I'm an 84,baby 😮
Dig the tunnel, I think she means the classic slash/ Izzy interplay
