I learned this from some GnR bio book: Axl got off the bus in LA in a very dangerous part of town. Some old black guy saw him and yelled “You know where you are? You’re in the jungle baby! You’re gonna diiiie!” And that was his introduction to LA.
Funny I both Bill Bailey Axl Rose sounds really cool as names but Axl Bailey or Bill Rose wouldn't work as well. If I don't remember wrong I think Bailey was his step dads name and Rose his bio dads name (and wasn't he murdered or something).
Welcome! I am a 30 year old Black woman and I remember hearing about GnR from those "I love the 70s/80s/90s" shows back in the early 2000s. I had a phase where I was OBSESSED with them when I was a teenager and I am kind of back in it again because I've been doing this deep dive of rock music from Los Angeles. Anyway! lol I absolutely love Guns N Roses and this song is such an epic debut to the larger music world. They came up during the club scene in the 80s on Sunset Strip. They were a pretty formidable band and so unlike the glam metal bands for their time period. I believe the quote was they were Aerosmith meets the Sex Pistols. The scene at the time was pretty good but GnR was like a punch in the face probably. I hope you get more into them, particularly the Appetite for Destruction album. They're all still rocking and rolling in their 60s.
OMG i member seeing this for the very 1st time on **MTV** with my older sister when it 1st premiered we were extremely **Blown Away** & instantly in **MadLuv** with **Axl Rose** ahahaha we had NEVER seen ANYthing like him or the song! Ah the **Good Ole Days** Thanx for the **Memories** Ha YAY & am lookin forward to hearing your **Thoughts & **Feelings** heh **PixieHugz&LuvzALL**
This debut record was the biggest debut ever. It had 5 or six singles and every track is 10/10. Wouldn't watch them live, Wouldn't do too much after that 1st album but Holy Shit! I own that in vinyl and don't even have a record player 😅
I grew to respect these guys more when I got older. Really talented musicians before the overuse of tech entered in. Slash has some great recent stuff out there too.
The 80s was the best era for rock. My dad raised me on it and I definitely got mocked in school for not knowing current artists, but the 80s was where it’s at. Other great ones are Def Leppard ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’, Scorpions ‘Rock You Like A Hurricane’, and Night Ranger ‘Sister Christian’. There are so many more, but this comment would go on forever.
Saw them about the time Appitite launched, they were opening for Motley Crue.....that concert was pure fire. Later on they kinda lost the hunger, got fooked up on success, but when I saw them they were 100% beast mode.
Guns and Rose's is a force to be reckoned with! Axl Rose's gritty vocals,and Slash's wailing guitar are always a treat! My favorite is November Rain! Also check out Paradise City!🎙🎶🎸🥁🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
What can I say about guns N’ Roses that any angry former fan has not said… Guns N’ Roses is like a gang that was on his third strike and said “ fuck it let’s do music” Immensely talented. Crazy talented, and I absolutely gorgeous …but enough issues that I knew they were nuts before I was even a fan. Saw them twice before and after the pandemic...drooled both damn times. My favorites Welcome to the jungle If the world I used to love her Mr brownstone It's so easy So fine Perhaps Dust n bones
Hes not talking about the "famous life". Hes talking about the streets of Los Angeles. When Axl Rose (the singer) was 20 years old he was forced to move away from his hometown: Lafayette, a small town in Indiana. He moved to Los Angeles with no money and just a bus ticket. The start of the video you see him arrive in LA for the first time and the first thing he sees is a guy walking up to him trying to sell him weed. Then you see him turn from this young innocent boy to this dirty, dangerous ish maniac which is the results of living in the big city, especially the streets where he slept for months. The concrete jungle
This album and Metallica's "And Justice For All" are the two lps which revelated me into loving heavier music. First time I heard "f*ck" in a song it was 5th grade, the second track: "It's So Easy"
The jungle refers to basically any big city. In this song he may be speaking of LA itself simply because he came from Indiana to make it big himself. If you aren't vigilant, the city can eat you alive in a number of different ways.
@@revolutionday1 the Ritz is in NYC, he says I hitch hiked here. Plus I've heard him in old interviews say it's about NYC. Have a good weekend baby, information is cool 😘ruclips.net/video/nzr6DMcw5wQ/видео.htmlsi=ApNfiZQ5aD17YFSG
Other bands in this style and the tracks I recommend: Twisted Sister: You can't stop Rock n Roll, Warrior Soul: Wasteland, Warrant: Cherry Pie, Poison: Nothing but a good time, and if your diving that rabbit hole... Then you really gotta check out Motely Crew: Kickstart My Heart. I was lucky enough to see Guns & Roses with Metallica right before James Hetfield got hurt by onstage Pyrotechnics a few weeks later. These guys were on a rocket to the top at one point and almost toped Led Zeppelin.
Hells yeah, let's GOOOO 🔥🔥🔥 He grew up in Indiana, hitch hiked across the country, landed in LA=the jungle. Fun fact, Slashes mom had an affair with David Bowie for a while when Slash was little. She was a costume designer.
You know where you are? You're in the jungle baby You're gonna dieeeeeeeeeeeee. Their albums Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion are banger albums. they've had so many hits: Paradise City, November Rain, You Could Be Mine, Rocket Queen etc. but this song and My Michelle are my favorites . Try please😁
Imagine…GnR was out around the same time as KRS-One, Public Enemy, Rakim…then, we got Nirvana, Cypress Hill, NWA, Pearl Jam, Dre and Snoop…Man! What a time!!!
What can i say good or bad about them that others not have done. Nothing. Let the music do the talkin' and enjoy some of the best rock albums out there. When this album came out i was a rockfan for already nine years but this album but it had a impact on me and my friends like a bomb. Don't know how much wie heard this album in our cars with the speakers on maximum volumne
Hi Stax, amazing reaction🙌 you are a very wise young man, you are giving me a different perspective to look at my favourite songs. I understood them but from a teenage perspective in the 80’s. Life was messy. I know it still is. A lot of us expressed ourselves through the music . Anyway I am really enjoying your channel and hope to watch you grow from strength to strength.
Dude Guns and Roses are 🔥Axl Rose is a beast of a vocalist. ☮️💜🤘🔥 You have to listen to Sweet Child O Mine of course but I recommend Estranged, Coma, Civil War, etc....Patience
Guns N' Roses - Civil War Tokyo 1992 (HD Remastered) ruclips.net/video/5e3sI5xkA0M/видео.html The short guitar intro is Voodoo child by Jimmy Hendrix. Look at your young men fighting Look at your women crying Look at your young men dying The way they've always done before Look at the hate we're breeding Look at the fear we're feeding Look at the lives we're leading The way we've always done before My hands are tied The billions shift from side to side And the wars go on with brainwashed pride For the love of God and our human rights And all these things are swept aside By bloody hands, time can't deny And are washed away by your genocide And history hides the lies of our civil wars D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man Who said, "Peace could last forever"? And in my first memories, they shot Kennedy I went numb when I learned to see So I never fell for Vietnam We got the wall in D.C. to remind us all That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands When everybody's fightin' for their promised land and I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor You're power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store Ain't that fresh? I don't need your civil war Ooh, no, no, no, no, no, no Look at the shoes you're filling Look at the blood we're spilling Look at the world we're killing The way we've always done before Look in the doubt we've wallowed Look at the leaders we've followed Look at the lies we've swallowed And I don't want to hear no more My hands are tied For all I've seen has changed my mind But still, the wars go on, as the years go by With no love of God or human rights And all these dreams are swept aside By bloody hands of the hypnotized Who carry the cross of homicide And history bears the scars of our civil wars I don't need your civil war It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor You're power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store Ain't that fresh? I don't need your civil war No no no no no no no no no no no no I don't need your civil war I don't need your civil war You're power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store Ain't that fresh?

I learned this from some GnR bio book: Axl got off the bus in LA in a very dangerous part of town. Some old black guy saw him and yelled “You know where you are? You’re in the jungle baby! You’re gonna diiiie!” And that was his introduction to LA.

That experience was in NYC, but the song is mostly about LA.
New York
You're going to dig Slash's (lead guitarist) work. He's been a BEAST for decades!
And he hasn’t aged! 😊
Betttt
I am unable to find fault with anything that you typed.
I was in 8th grade when this came out, I still have the original vinyl I bought with my lawn cutting money, still in regular rotation!
🙌🙌💙💙
❤I live just a little South in Indiana from where Axl Rose,
( Bill Bailey😂) is from!
💙🙏🏽
Funny I both Bill Bailey Axl Rose sounds really cool as names but Axl Bailey or Bill Rose wouldn't work as well. If I don't remember wrong I think Bailey was his step dads name and Rose his bio dads name (and wasn't he murdered or something).
Hot damn
Axl had a voice....
Slash was hell on that guitar
My first concert in 1991 was gnr with Soundgarden

I would definitely check out Paradise City & Sweet Child O Mine!!! Or anything Guns N Roses basically. Lol. ❤️❤️❤️
Will dooo
Bill Bailey is from Lafayette Indiana, and an hour from me growing up in Indy. He was in TROUBLE all the time. ❤😊
Can't fake quality rock and roll.

Use your illusions are great albums. Crazy to think that they're not
Yessssssss!!!!! Guns N Roses is fire, u gotta do more of their stuff
Without a doubt
YES!!! I love this song! Slash collaborated with Michael Jackson on Give in to Me and Black or White- you GOTTA watch those! 🤘💥
I remember this was like every 3 or 4th song on MTV and VH1 in the late 80s. Still a favorite of mine.
I grew to respect these guys more when I got older. Really talented musicians before the overuse of tech entered in. Slash has some great recent stuff out there too.

Heh...it was a warning song....he was told that when got off the bus in the big city for the first time. That encounter inspired the song.
That’s what I felt like it was

Guns N' Roses - Civil War Tokyo 1992 (HD Remastered)
ruclips.net/video/5e3sI5xkA0M/видео.html
The short guitar intro is Voodoo child by Jimmy Hendrix.
Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before
My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands, time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars
D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man
Who said, "Peace could last forever"?
And in my first memories, they shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall in D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin' for their promised land and
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor
You're power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh?
I don't need your civil war
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no, no
Look at the shoes you're filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more
My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still, the wars go on, as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
And all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor
You're power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh?
I don't need your civil war
No no no no no no no no no no no no
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
You're power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh?
I don't need your civil war
No no no no no no no no no no no no
I don't need one more war
Ooh, I don't need one more war
No no no, no whoa, no whoa
What's so civil 'bout war anyway?
100/10 👏👏👏
Factssss
