Always been my favorite song. I remember buying Illusion 1&2 on the day they came out, and listening to this song over and over again. Great reaction!!
That’s just his blues influences coming through. Blues guitarists do a call and response with the singer a lot of the time. Where it’s almost 2 voices telling the story.
Man, I’ve been listening to GNR for over 30 years and I absolutely love seeing the younger generation react to this shit! Amazing reaction dude. Loved it 🙌🏻
Alright so the strongest line imo of this song is “and history hides the lies of our civil wars..” and yes my friend slash is the guitarist! DEEP SONG!!
@@lisafanninghowe Here is what Duff said: "Basically it was a riff that we would do at sound-checks. Axl came up with a couple of lines at the beginning. And... I went in a peace march, when I was a little kid, with my mom. I was like four years old. For Martin Luther King. And that's when: "Did you wear the black arm band when they shot the man who said: 'Peace could last forever'?" It's just true-life experiences, really"
Did my own small bit of research on wiki just now...From Duff McKagan: I went in a peace march, when I was a little kid, with my mom. I was like four years old. For Martin Luther King. And that's when: "Did you wear the black arm band when they shot the man who said: 'Peace could last forever'?" It's just true-life experiences, really.
9 and a half minutes in you told rap artists to start sampling these rock beats... I see a young man who could lead the way doing that when I watch your videos. Watching you enjoy this music reminds me of when I heard at the first time in the 80s & 90s… Glad to see you enjoy it too.
Just happened to come across the movie on Netflix as I was browsing few weeks and decided to check it out. It didn’t disappoint. And when the warden said those lines, I was like this is where that quote on Civil War is from!!
It -is- a very political song, a very powerful message, and just as true today as when it was written. You touched on it a bit in your reaction, but really dig into the lyrics on another listen and you’ll feel it even more.
@@NoYouAreNotDreaming Sam Fender, different sound (more indie/alternative rock, so I don't know if that's something you'd enjoy) but some great story telling!
@@nuttinbutmusic3383 absolutely...slash as always played out of his skin with that intro....some of his live spots with locomotive are rare but awsome!
Axl Rose is a genius lyricist and composer. The mark of a truly great song is it’s timelessness. This is one of the best rock songs ever written on many levels. I’m glad you found it.
What you said about the solos is why music these days are so bland there is no chemistry between the people making the music. when you listen to rock you can feel the chemistry of the band and how much work and thought goes into writing, recording and performing a song
I guess that's the difference between getting in a room with your mates and hammering stuff out and getting a human connection rather than sitting at a computer dragging, dropping, cutting and pasting.
Haven't listened to this song in years, still straight up goosebumps. Cheers for the trip down memory lane, and for the joy of seeing a young guy feeling this magic, and actually *listening* to lyrics ( I appreciate seeing such intelligent reactions to music. ) Much love, from Australia xx
GNR = Everything that’s important in music!!!!! They were all about everything that was/and is important in life till today. GNR was an extremely important voice of the generation to explain what was important in the world news, at the time! It is extremely important that the younger generation learn from the generations before. As Motley Crue did the same, GNR took it to a whole never level. That’s why, today, their songs are still important!! But all of GNR’s music meant something important. Axel wrote all their most popular hits from things he went through as a child. Anytime they had a big hit, it was Axel who was the 1 who wrote the songs. Any breakup, f’n new hit song. Just for a brief backstory, Axel did have a VERY hard life. He was a child prodigy on the piano at the age of 3. He had sexual abuse as a very, very young child, and obviously never got over it. Would you?? That’s why all of their “greatest hits” were from Axel’s experiences as a child. In the industry, Axel was considered a diva, but no, it was from his experiences of life. Axel had a 6 octave voice (for a man, unheard of), and could play the piano and other instruments to the point of ridiculousness. Sad story, but made him a legend. Love ❤️❣️💕💓💖💘, love, love me some Axel Rose, and of course the rest of GNR (ah, Slash!!!). Slash is on the list of the TOP 5 guitarists of ALL TIME, OF ALL TIME people!!!!. Top 5 people from the 60’s until now. Think about that. That’s completely incredible and sick!! Glad you can appreciate GNR ❤️💜🧡🖤💛💚💙💔🤎!!!
Our wars since world war 1 have been all about money and to kill off generations of strong and masculine men who would be the future leaders so we would have a future of weakness
Bro, check out either 'locomotive' or 'You could be mine' by guns n roses or, if you want a real treat for the ears, 'double talking jive' but find a live version! Reccomend either Chicago 92 or Tokyo 92! All long but totally worth it!
When most musical groups and or just musicians write their music, most bands get together and create the whole ensemble together. It's a progression. The lyrics may be written already, or they come as its being composed! Either way they all come up with the way the finished product is assembled! They don't have a beat or music necessarily to just throw lyrics over the top! True musicianship is ebbing and flowing with your bandmates to create something beautiful or something that hits home like this song!
I love that young people are listening to this music. GnR will always be relevant, most of their songs have a message, tbis one in particular. I'm a guitar player. Solos do have a mathematical element to them, knowing which note to start and stop on and how it coincides with the chord changes. Once you learn these roadmaps, it takes a great deal of time and hitting the wrong notes to make them sound this good. Id highly recommend reading up on Slash in your spare time, he's got a story to tell.
Their blue album and their yellow album, was a "must have" for someone who was a teenager in the 90's like me🔥🔥 what's so civil about war anyway? Simple and brillant 😊
Being able to remember an 8 minute song note for note is quite easy if you practice the song and when playing live, Slash would not always play the exact same solo, and would improvise often and change things up.
The intro is from the 1967 Paul Newman movie Cool Hand Luke! It is the warden speaking after Luke Jackson (Newman) was captured after a failed prison escape.
I was 16 when this was released in 91, used to listen to these two albums every day. the same year my uncle was over in Iraq with the British army, tanks. I've not made that connection before now. I think this song helped form my opinion of war, I was and still am proud of my uncle but never want to see him in anything like that again.
This is the last song that original drummer Steven Adler recorded with the band before being removed from the group due to his drug issues. The story goes, he needed like fourteen takes and then Duff (the bass player) and one of the engineers spent like an entire day in the studio to splice the drum tracks together to get one track that they could use for the song. It's a sad story how Steven got kicked out of the band and what happened to him afterwards. He was already a heavy drug user but it got worse because he was depressed after being kicked out of GnR. But if you've seen any recent videos of Steven today, he's actually one of the most humble and down-to-earth and amazing people out of the original five members. I met him at one of his band's shows a few years back and he's a great person. He's totally sober and clean today, just has a few lingering health issues from so many years of drug abuse. He's not the most technical or best or fastest drummer you'll ever hear, but his sound is so iconic (Appetite for Destruction) and his style so groovy, he plays with a nice swing in his playing. Even his band's new songs, you just know it's him playing. GnR still had some banging tracks without him behind the drums, but I would love to see him behind the kit with them again. He was that iconic sound to me.
Hahaha, love it! I remember buying this CD (Full set) when it released years ago, and it's still one of the best albums I've ever heard, stert to finish. Great reaction, and thanks for the upload!
I remember years ago, seeing him on Celebrity Rehab. He’d had a stroke from all the heavy drug use by then. I remember him saying something about his being replaced by Matt Sorum-I felt really bad for him, you could tell how much it hurt him.
Solos usually come from practicing & improving riffs, broken into pieces, layered, then played thru. It’s a very very difficult thing to make it memorable, and Slash is one of the best. You picked a great song to think about this.
It is a great song but tbh. I think he needs to listen to more ”Main stream” Guns before he will appreciate the less popular songs like Locomotive. However Locomotive is fantastic!
the solo's are telling the same story as the word parallels to the lyrics, the genius is there in the touch of the guitar player and their sound engineering abilities . but mostly based on the guitar player's emotions and skills to tune them into the flow of the song.
Young man, you warmed my 40 yr old heart today. I saw Gn'R when I was 11 and it was my first concert. I'm glad to see young blood finding and appreciate it now. Enjoy, friend.
Guns N Roses have one helluva catalog to dive into. I could make an argument that this is their best song they ever wrote. They did a killer job on this song live. I saw them support Use Your Illusion albums and Soundgarden opened for them. Killer show that didn't end until like 1-1:30 in the morning.
Yeah I asked for that one, too. Guns in all their debauchery. But don’t think he’s ready for that music video. Apparently we weren’t because they waited like 20 years to release it lol
My son is a guitarist. The way he writes his solos are by feeling the vibes of the song. He said it flows from his brain to his fingertips. Just keeps adding to perfect it. Lol
thank you so much for these reaction videos. ive wanted rappers and rockers to merge since i was 13. I dont think people realize just how much we have in common lyrically. sometimes i hear tupac quotes in some of my favorite rock songs. epic channel bro! im an oldies fan so anything pre 2000 is my jam. rock, rap, pop, you name it i love it all.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your stop at 8:50 to talk about how most rap is deficient to really good rock in that it lacks an appreciative level of musical complexity. You are correct good sir. Great rock bands could switch a song around 4 or 5 times(or more) within the same song to create a feeling that you were on a musical journey of discovery. Buy the ticket take the ride it was truly an orgasm for the ears, mind, and soul. PS - Please review Guns N' Roses - Used to Love Her. Rock on young man.

GnR's "Estranged" will take you on a journey.
Now THAT’S a song.
Live pleaseeee
One of the reasons why it's my favorite song.
LFR JOJO, please do Locomotive by GNR!!!!! Best song ever
Oh yeah! Slash's guitar is amazing on Estranged
This is my favorite GnR song - it is criminally underrated!
Always been my favorite song. I remember buying Illusion 1&2 on the day they came out, and listening to this song over and over again. Great reaction!!
Me too. What a message.
I love it but it's not underrated. It's probably the most famous song on uyi 2
Underrated????? Sold millions. I wish I had an underrated song like that. Everybody knows this track
Mine too. Another masterpiece from the greatest rock band. Awesome genuine reaction, thank RUclips for showing this new generations some proper music
This song should be mandatory in history classes. It will ALWAYS be relevant.
Agreed. Educate the youth with meaningful history and warnings of why we should never repeat atrocities.
I don’t think he’s ready for the It’s So Easy MV, though. I’m patiently waiting.
SO TRUE.
Amen!
Also your Beauty C G
Civil War of one of the best overall songs in rock history. Lyrically, cadence, the acoustic, the solos, everything. Check out GNR's Patience.
He did Patience..check it out!
THE VOICE
That first line of the acustic guitar!!
@@aleteiki4686 Vocals really epic in this too. This song is almost perfect
Agreed
"What's so civil about war anyway" ♥
What’s so holy about war anyway?
@@MattSkosh Killing for religion - something I don't understand

Slash: I’m gonna need at least two solos per song, probably more
🤣😂🤣
I’m not arguing! Slash is epic
That’s just his blues influences coming through. Blues guitarists do a call and response with the singer a lot of the time. Where it’s almost 2 voices telling the story.
Estranged is kind of a long amazing solo all along the song, and too wonderful
The line in this song about THE HUMAN GROCERY STORE always gets me.
Everyone's just bought and sold.
Or that he could live off the land if there was a civil war, but he don't want to.
thats one of my favorite lines of the songs...
I love that libe too, great lyrics on this song.
I love that line and "it feeds the rich and buries the poor" too, really great, powerful lyrics on this song.
@@MusicLover-dt7ic the whole song is about the profiteering of war and how the poor of society pays for it.
Jojo, I recommend you take some time and listen or read the lyrics. This song is jam-packed with a message and historic events.
Guns n Roses is my all time favorite band!!!!
Have you heard Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the conspirators? Look up Anastasia
@@plandscapesoh9702 I have. Anastasia is one of my favorite hard rock songs of all time!!!
Man, I’ve been listening to GNR for over 30 years and I absolutely love seeing the younger generation react to this shit! Amazing reaction dude. Loved it 🙌🏻
This is a lyrically brilliant song
This is an everything brilliant song.
@@Allanfan20 I was about to say this.
Alright so the strongest line imo of this song is “and history hides the lies of our civil wars..” and yes my friend slash is the guitarist! DEEP SONG!!
Yeah for me is "you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands"
"Power hungry, selling soldiers in a human grocery store.......aint that fresh?"...... What a line.
Saul "Slash" Hudson is a Living Legend. One of the best and most talented Guitarist the world will ever know.
Guns n Roses Night train is great!!!
"When they shot the man who said peace could last forever" is such a powerful lyric. Those that want peace never seem to get to experience it.
Who said that, Martin Luther King Jr, perhaps?
@@lisafanninghowe Here is what Duff said: "Basically it was a riff that we would do at sound-checks. Axl came up with a couple of lines at the beginning. And... I went in a peace march, when I was a little kid, with my mom. I was like four years old. For Martin Luther King.

@@robertramirez64 yes I read that too, but truly. MLK,Jr did say this.
MLK/JFK
This song still is true "look at the hate we're breeding" we need to wake up, two steps forward ten steps back
Very underrated song with one of the best lyrics ever. It's cool you reacted to it.
Did my own small bit of research on wiki just now...From Duff McKagan: I went in a peace march, when I was a little kid, with my mom. I was like four years old. For Martin Luther King. And that's when: "Did you wear the black arm band when they shot the man who said: 'Peace could last forever'?" It's just true-life experiences, really.
OK.. I just gotta say it... YOU HAVE THE INNER SPIRIT OF A ROCKER! You need some guitar solos in RAP like Rage Against The Machine does.
9 and a half minutes in you told rap artists to start sampling these rock beats... I see a young man who could lead the way doing that when I watch your videos. Watching you enjoy this music reminds me of when I heard at the first time in the 80s & 90s… Glad to see you enjoy it too.
If you've never seen Cool Hand Luke, watch that movie. The quote from the beginning of the song is lifted from the it. It's a fantastic film.
That movie makes me so angry that I can't watch it too often, but you're right, it is a fantastic film.
@@professionalvampire1 I especially like the song when Luke’s mother died.
Just happened to come across the movie on Netflix as I was browsing few weeks and decided to check it out. It didn’t disappoint. And when the warden said those lines, I was like this is where that quote on Civil War is from!!

When i hear it, I have tears because I m feeling deeply the lyrics....

Didn’t know that... crazy.
Sadly, Steven Adler had departed before use your illusion. He left In 1990. "Original lineup" appetite for destruction and GNR Lies.
@@Codenameitalian they recorded Civil War before Adler departed - only song he plays on for UYI
"Rappers need to start sampling some of these rock beats"
Time for you to start reacting to some Beastie Boys my friend!
Make some noise ... the 20 Minute extended version. MUST !!!
I'm a huge Rhcp fan I bet he would like them.
Or maybe time for rappers to come up with their own fucking melodies instead of copy paste 30 year old riffs
You today: Shaking your head violently to Slash's solo. You in 30 years, seeing the doctor for neck pains
Definitely worth it though
Guns n Roses cures my depression and Axenity
Axl Rose saved my life his hole band saved my life.

Use your Illusion 1 & 2 were amazing albums. Loved them so much when they came out.

Solos usually come from practicing & improving riffs, broken into pieces, layered, then played thru. It’s a very very difficult thing to make it memorable, and Slash is one of the best. You picked a great song to think about this.
Do something that no one else has done. Guns n Rose's " Locomotive " Its a kick ass song.
PLEASE I BEG, ITS MY FAVORITE SONGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! Every time i have baseballl or go karting i have this song as the first song i listen to
Totally agree. I love that song. Slash’s riff is awesome.

"Hope this song is good". Man, this is song os beyond good: it's a masterpiece
Axl Rose was the biggest rebel in rock n roll bro!!!
the other guitarist is izzy stradlin he is highly unknown and underrated but he is a mastermind behind all these songs
He is the main songwriter for a lot of their songs but Izzy doesn't have a writer's credit for Civil War
Izzy Stradlin and The Ju Ju Hounds album from 1992 is a very under rated and under appreciated album too...

I'm glad to see young blood finding and appreciate it now.
Enjoy, friend.
"Some men you just can't reach."
Well, I am glad Guns N' Roses reached you.
Might as well try Knockin On Heavens Door (actually a Bob Dylan cover) released on this same album. Another great song
Yay!! Love this song!! Can you do their song It's So Easy, Night Train, or Mr. Brownstone next? Great song pick and reaction!! 🙂
I was so jealous and happy watching u react to this for the first time! Masterpiece!!
As a military veteran this song resonates with me in a different way it did when I first heard it as a kid.
Guns N Roses have one helluva catalog to dive into. I could make an argument that this is their best song they ever wrote. They did a killer job on this song live. I saw them support Use Your Illusion albums and Soundgarden opened for them. Killer show that didn't end until like 1-1:30 in the morning.
Last song recorded with original line up, fun fact. Gotta react to Shadow of Your Love by them next!
I remember when Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 broke. First time listening was like wtf! Both albums are fantastic! Rock on G'NR!
This song will stand true to the end of time.
He didn’t write those solos, he felt them.
A good song to react to is "enter sandman" by Matalica
Agreed
Most over recommanded Song
They've got way better Songs
Are you a police officer?
Yes i love this song
I get so overwhelmed by talent & beauty it leaks back to me.
Simply Best band EVER. 🤘🏻 🤘🏻
as you seem to love their heavy shit, then soon your gonna hit "its so easy" & lose your mind. thats gotta be their nastiest track of all.
Yeah I asked for that one, too. Guns in all their debauchery. But don’t think he’s ready for that music video. Apparently we weren’t because they waited like 20 years to release it lol
“You ain’t got nothing better to do, and I’m bored.”
My son is a guitarist. The way he writes his solos are by feeling the vibes of the song. He said it flows from his brain to his fingertips. Just keeps adding to perfect it. Lol
The whistling in the beginning is called When Johnny Comes Marching Home. A popular song from the American Civil War in the 1860s
Hands down one of the best songs of all time!
I really like your enthusiasm for this kind of music, did you try Iron Maiden already?
This and rocket queen!!!
thank you so much for these reaction videos. ive wanted rappers and rockers to merge since i was 13. I dont think people realize just how much we have in common lyrically. sometimes i hear tupac quotes in some of my favorite rock songs. epic channel bro!
im an oldies fan so anything pre 2000 is my jam. rock, rap, pop, you name it i love it all.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your stop at 8:50 to talk about how most rap is deficient to really good rock in that it lacks an appreciative level of musical complexity. You are correct good sir. Great rock bands could switch a song around 4 or 5 times(or more) within the same song to create a feeling that you were on a musical journey of discovery. Buy the ticket take the ride it was truly an orgasm for the ears, mind, and soul.
PS - Please review Guns N' Roses - Used to Love Her. Rock on young man.
