The most perceptive statement I've heard from anyone in a long time. He's also the greatest frontal in the history of rock....but such a primadona thats not even worth it in the long run. Check out the Guns N Roses Behind the Music and spend an hour just feeling for what all the other band members put up dealing with him. Also look up Metallica feud with Axl which is very amusing. On the other hand Axl and Slash were both the best at what they do and all their songs are worth checking out.
My friend paid $2,000 each for GnR VIP tickets about 4 years ago (whenever they did the first tour back with Slash) and all they got was a swag bag and a tour of the stage where they could take pictures of the set…. I was like “No meet and greet? No pictures with the band? No autograph?” She said no cause Axel has anxiety and doesn’t meet fans…. UMMMM for $2,000 ($4,000 for the two tickets) he better be taking me out to lunch and rubbing my feet
only seen them twice in concert.first with body count and ice t opening for them then gnr opening for the rolling stones. for the first my friend had backstage passes so i got to met them and axl is definitely a dive he didn't even pretend to care about anyone there Slash and Duff were super cool and ice t and all of body count would really talk to you and actually have a conversation with you
They were the mountain top of Rock and Roll IMO. Nothing has been done since that equals or tops them. It's been all downhill. Now the only thing that sells is Jingle crap.
I love that Brad concentrates in the lyrics so much and lex just enjoys the sound. You guys are the perfect combo of music appreciation. I love watching you two.
@@flickernoise777 I remember seeing that on the news! Damn, I never thought I'd see anyone tell a personal story about being there. I am way down in Texas. Cool that you were there, and not cool at the same time. If you know what I mean. lol. But mega awesome that Metallica got yall to come back for free the next year, to make up for Axel's bullshit I guess. He is a case study for all kinds of psych classes. LOL
Axl and Slash are one of the best duos of all time! If Axl wasn’t such a diva they would’ve stayed together🤣! Slash is a monster. One of the best ever.
But see if you talk about November rain then they have to do the trilogy which is you start with don’t cry followed by November rain and then estranged
THAT SONG IS A PIEVE OF SHIT SONG … everyone who grew up in that era hated November rain cause it was too SAD AND DEPRESSING AND TOO SLOW… only reason the video got air play cause a supermodel was in the video and that was a big deal then
@@hotmail305 that song is amazing and I love it. It will forever hold a special place in my heart because my dad loved guns and roses and he also died in November.
That is a pretty accurate assessment. My parents have it and it’s wall to wall bangers. It’s disappointing that the people requesting songs replace their brains with Billboard Charts. It’d be great to see a reaction to Its So Easy or Rocket Queen
Appetite for Destruction is in my top 3 albums to have if stranded on a deserted island. Hard to say that about almost any album. Back then you had to buy the whole dang album to hear the songs you want. Sure you could buy it as a single on 45 record or a cassette single, but most time was cheaper to buy the whole thing
Met Duff and Slash in 1988 in Columbus,Oh. They were playing the next night at Buckeye Music Center, and were out on the town the night before. Just me and my buddy Dave were sitting out back at Papa Joes on Highstreet and in walks Duff n Slash with security AND GIRLS, and sits at the picknik table right next to us. No one else is on the back patio. They invited us to join them....the next 24 hours is History. Probably the greatest 24 hours in my entire life!!!! Both, great guys.
I had the opportunity to see them live back when they were still touring. They opened with welcome to the jungle, and the entire stadium was pitch black, all the lights were out. When the beat came in after the guitar intro, the whole place lit up with fireworks, and gigantic inflatable monsters from the inside of the Appetite for Destruction album cover were floating over the crowd. The crowd went absolutely nuts and was my favorite part of any concert that i've been to. To this day the memory of that when i listen to the song makes my hair stand on end. It was an absolutely spectacular show and i'm so glad i got to see them before they broke up. They're just as good, if not better live than recorded.
@@rossmudie9298 This was the cause of some of the tension back in the day. Slash would be so high for shows he couldn't play his guitar. Axl wasn't into that life and would get pissed (rightfully so).
I was at this show, 1st row off the field just stage left. Great show, Deep Purple came on later then somebody set the upper deck seats on fire during Smoke on the Water. Ending with Aerosmith. What a day ight.
I was in the black and white part of the video, filmed in England at the Monsters of Rock concert with Iron Maiden headlining. The crowd went mad when G n R came on and sadly two fans were crushed, but hell of a show.
@@klauss1995 Back in the 80's most called this metal. Some hard core metal heads (like Slayer fans) may have called it Hard Rock. I can edit it if it hurts your feelings?
Well...I'd say Alcohol & Drugs were definitely up there too. But yes Axle showing up hours late for practices and over an hour late to shows! I remember seeing them in the late 80's in L.A. at the Whiskey & Rainbow room. It was crazy! Crazy then...but definitely the best times of my life!! I went almost every weekend to LA to see bands!! Insane 🎼🎸🤘😁
I think it was more complicated than that. Grunge was killing hair metal already and Axl was desperate to work with guys like Cobain while Cobain wanted nothing to do with Axl. The UYI tour was likely the final nail in the coffin. They bit off more than they could chew and the dramas and chaos of being on the road finished them off. While Axl was an asshole, it's unfair to pin everything on him when everyone else in the band was off their heads on every drug and drink they could get their hands on (according to Izzy, who returned for a few dates on the tour and was shocked by what they'd become).
Hey there, fun personal fact, I’m in this video , along with thousands of others. Lol. The color portion was filmed at Giants Stadium 1988, me and my best friend were 50 feet from stage. I cannot believe this was over 30 hrs ago! This was fun to watch you two enjoy this classic GnR.
This was the funniest reaction video I've ever seen! The young lady looked overwhelmed by Slash on the guitar her enjoyment was intoxicating. As for the gentleman, when you said at the beginning... nice simple beat you can cling to!... I laughed my arse off, just wait for it buddy you'd better be clinging bloody tight!!!.. I'm a GNFR fan and very much enjoyed your reaction video. Thankyou for your content. X
This takes me back to my childhood.. sitting in front of my cassette deck, listening to my local rock station waiting to hit record as soon as this song came on.... 80s kids understand
The black & white footage was filmed at Donnington Monsters Of Rock 1988 ( UK) GnR were only the second band to play that afternoon. Crowd was crazy , we all got crushed, 2 young guys died.. My first show. A baptism of fire 🔥 I often wonder if the footage from the UK show was black and white out of respect?
They did react to Sweet Child O' Mine on a livestream. It should be up on the channel soon, depending what order they upload. This song was during that same livestream where they did I believe four GnR songs.
Calling Axl a Diva is an understatement. Is temper Literally started at least one riot. And It was because of him (and the massive amount of drugs and alcohol they were all doing) the band broke up. He would show up hours late for practice. And an hour late for live shows. They were all messed up and erratic because of the drugs and alcohol but he took it to a whole other level. And he is one of those artist types (the mood swings, the pretension and the inflated ego).
1 riot? I think Axel caused a lot of riots. I remember watching the news in the early 90's of all the riots caused in several cities because of him. I know Axel was crazy but boy did he make it interesting. What a time it was! Lol. I love Guns N Roses. Went to their concert in '93 they performed with Metallica as well.
Since you've been listening to songs from the Appetite For Destruction album, might as well go with Sweet Child of Mine next. You will like the solo from that one.
@@datubeda I always group Sweet Child o’ Mine, Alive by Pearl Jam, and whichever Metallica song I’m feeling at the moment (Unforgiven, Master, Fade, etc.) as the Top 3 solos ever.
Will never forget when I first heard GNR around 87. Driven by Axls vocals and Slash’s incredible guitar, one of the greatest ROCK bands of all time. Appetite for Destruction was a ground breaking album.
Only 1 problem, Metallica opened up for GNR....people were leaving, because Metallica was over 2 hours of Ridiculous Fire 🔥 & a lot of fans came for them....Axle was Furious Cursing at the thousands leaving...And Yes Lex, he was a little Diva then!! You guys are my Favorite reaction channel!! Lex needs a Metallica concert to let loose her inner Rock Child! 🎼🎸😊
Haha I LOVE that girls reaction I can tell that she really really enjoyed that song. That's the thing about guns n roses they will literally get you attacked to their music
Stevie Ray Vaughn will give you all the goose bumps from his guitar. One of the most profound artists taken too early. Not Metal but Blues, but every guitar player will give SRV his dues.
U guys have the best reaction site, IMHO. Lexi is so genuine in her response to great guitar licks...her pure enjoyment is infectious, one can't help but enjoy her commentary.
Yep all the ones everyone has commented on are good. Don't think a video was ever made for this one, but one of my favorites off Appetite for Destruction was Mr. Brownstone.
Hell yeah! Was here for this one live for a change. The disappointment from Brad when he couldn't follow along at the end whilst lex went of her nut haha.
Graduated in 1988 this whole album Appetite for Destruction was everywhere all day all night….I think it’s sold so far over 30 million copies world wide..

I saw GNR at Starwood Amphitheater in Nashville back in 1988. They were the opening act for Aerosmith. Being outdoors, you'd think the sound quality would suffer, but noooo! This was one loud ass concert and Axl Rose brought it big time. His energy really got the crowd going. Aerosmith then came out and had all sorts of problems with their sound system; Steven Tyler was cussin' and leaving the stage off and on, to the point that we (along with many people) left. We later heard that after about 30 more minutes, the show went on but that GNR was the real show stealer. I know they blew me away enough that leaving early wasn't even a bummer. I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to see Axl at his best.
You guys want guitar? There’s only one man… Stevie Ray Vaughan. I don’t know if you guys can handle Texas Flood so maybe start with The Sky is Crying. RIP SRV🎸
I suggest Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jeff Healey "Look at little sister" ruclips.net/video/2HmLFyvFxTc/видео.html. Jeff Healey was a blind guitarist who had a unique way of playing the guitar laying it flat on his lap. One of the best guitarist there ever was and was totally underrated!! Watching him play is absolutely Incredible!!
I was crushing on that diva watching MTV after school all through puberty. So good seeing younger generations appreciating the great tunes I grew up with.
I grew up with Guns and Roses I just seen them in 2021 at Wrigley Field in Chicago I love rock and roll I was a teenager in the 70s and nothing in my mind replaces rock and roll Guns and Roses they make you feel alive and it's so exciting listening to axel and the rest of the guys they put on a great show all their music is great and it makes you feel inside alive and yes Goosebumps I feel so sorry for the kids today that didn't get the opportunity to live in one of the greatest heroes and that's the 70s as a teenager. Rock music is the boss you can tell the difference who's singing and there's instruments the music today there's no instruments how about that lead guitarist his name is Slash as far as I'm concerned he is one of the best guitar players in the world I love him I love Guns and Roses try to listen to the song Civil War estranged Welcome to the Jungle yesterday Sweet Child of Mine patience November Rain you could be mine that song was in Terminator 2 and Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted Guns and Roses to do that song for the movie Arnold Schwarzenegger is a big fan of Guns and Roses stick with rock and roll it will make you feel good inside
Really dig you guys channel. I appreciate how you described the manner that you listen to music with a basic and structured beat and the fact that it seems a bit messy and/or chaotic when they are going in on the song wildly. I like it all and enjoy Lexs enthusiasm when she is taken for a music ride. She makes me laugh. Stay blessed.
This is one GNR's greatest song. It's also one that most people completely overlook its meaning. This is a very dark song when you look at the lyrics, it's the execution of a man who is pleading and begging to some higher authority to go to heaven ... the last half of the song is the man dying in the gas chamber. Just a urchin livin' under the street Ya treat it like a capital crime Everybody's doin' the time Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber Why I'm here I can't quite remember Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home I wanna go, I wanna know
Okay I absolutely adore Lex rocking out during this. She's adorable. G&R is a great example of an amazing band whose glory was cut short by the issues of their front man. They were amazing, but they could have done so much more and never really had the chance.
OMG. Girl, I love your excitement! You keep saying, "I didn't think it was possible". Welcome to the past. People are waking up to the fact that music has been dumbed down on purpose. You have such a long, incredible journey ahead of you. You will soon be wishing it was still 1977. So do the people that lived through it.
Girl, let it out! This entire song is a masterpiece but the last two minutes are perfection. It’s my favorite song to listen to at the gym, the ending really does get you moving. If you guys haven’t checked out November Rain yet, that one’s probably more Brad’s speed and it’s a beautiful song/video. Loved this reaction!
Guns N Roses were some of the biggest rockstars ever. Almost every song is a powerhouse. My favorite is "You Could Be Mine", which had a strong tie-in with the Terminator 2 movie. Watch the official video!
Saw them in concert on this tour, had no clue who they were they opened for motley crue's girls girls girls tour in the early 80's, the show was awesome, they had a small set up and you could tell they were up and coming at the time. caught them a second time on the use your illusion tour in biloxi mississippi in the 90's Excellent show.
Wait till you do "sweet child o'mine" "civil war" great reaction, always love the reaction. BTW you got to take Lex to a major rock show, she gets so hype, I love it.
Axl is a genius. He wrote the best songs ever. His creativity is out of this world. Cherry on top he had the talented Slash to add the perfect finish touch.
@@edwardgomez5616no he wasn't this is why no one likes izzy because yall overrate him. The whole band wrote the majority of the songs but the 2 main writers were axl and izzy. Izzy just wrote 2 songs by himself yall needa stop downplaying the members and realize all of them are the reason why gnr is legendary.
this band has three speeds super slow and melodic, a classic rock speed, then full send. you ain't the first, estranged, slow paced, mr brownstone. little faster, you could be mine , paradise city fast for them
saw them in the early 90s when they came to N.Z. It was Axls birthday and the whole crowd sang him happy birthday at Mt Smart stadium in South Auckland. Skidrow opened for them
"This Axl guy, I bet he's a diva." Girrrrrrrl, you have no clue.
Yea i chuckled to myself when she said that lol
She was on point lmao

Yes, of course

And he wrote most of the lyrics for most of their songs
Sweet Child O’ Mine is still my all time favorite GNR song, an absolute classic regardless of genre! All love ❤️
I agree and I think both of you would like it. Great beat, great guitar.
Mine too. As soon as it starts , I am taken to an exact time and place❤
its a girls song, and slash hated that song

Don't get started on mixtapes lol
I still have some!😂
Good old Memorex and Maxell blank cassette tapes. Get a pack of 6 for your birthday or Christmas and it was amazing!
@@chaospoet
10 pack was for the hardcore!😁
Yes we do!
AWESOME VIDEO!! Love Lex's REACTION!! Made me laugh out loud..😊🤣😅
Guitar solo?
Slash: Yes
November rain has a beautiful guitar work ;)
The black & white footage was filmed at Donnington Monsters Of Rock 1988 ( UK)
GnR were only the second band to play that afternoon.
Crowd was crazy , we all got crushed, 2 young guys died..
My first show.
A baptism of fire 🔥
I often wonder if the footage from the UK show was black and white out of respect?
Damn, lex totally nailed it. Axl was a total diva.
You guys are terrific! Lex just makes me smile on every reaction…what a special spirit!
“Sweet Child O’ Mine” will be your newest favorite if you liked this and welcome to the jungle. Best guitar riffs and song is about his daughter
You meen daughter of Don Everlyn🤣. It's writen bout Erin Everly, his wife at the time.
They did react to Sweet Child O' Mine on a livestream. It should be up on the channel soon, depending what order they upload. This song was during that same livestream where they did I believe four GnR songs.
Axl doesnt have a daughter.
Or One in a Million…lol
Aloha, air guitar, I need more air guitar...go Lex...lol. love you guys.
Calling Axl a Diva is an understatement. Is temper Literally started at least one riot. And It was because of him (and the massive amount of drugs and alcohol they were all doing) the band broke up. He would show up hours late for practice. And an hour late for live shows. They were all messed up and erratic because of the drugs and alcohol but he took it to a whole other level. And he is one of those artist types (the mood swings, the pretension and the inflated ego).
But a crazy voice lol
1 riot? I think Axel caused a lot of riots. I remember watching the news in the early 90's of all the riots caused in several cities because of him. I know Axel was crazy but boy did he make it interesting. What a time it was! Lol. I love Guns N Roses. Went to their concert in '93 they performed with Metallica as well.
So, a super diva then?
I love how she's so hyper, energetic and right into it... the he's just chill, relaxed
Since you've been listening to songs from the Appetite For Destruction album, might as well go with Sweet Child of Mine next. You will like the solo from that one.
Done
Arguably the greatest rock guitar solo of all time.
My friends back in the day: GnR’s singer is kind of annoying.
Me: well, sure, but who cares? just listen to the guitar solo at the end!
Best GnR solo for me
@@datubeda I always group Sweet Child o’ Mine, Alive by Pearl Jam, and whichever Metallica song I’m feeling at the moment (Unforgiven, Master, Fade, etc.) as the Top 3 solos ever.
Will never forget when I first heard GNR around 87. Driven by Axls vocals and Slash’s incredible guitar, one of the greatest ROCK bands of all time. Appetite for Destruction was a ground breaking album.
One of the Best Concerts I've ever seen!!! In their Prime 1991...It was lit and 3 hrs of Pure 🔥🎸🎼
Only 1 problem, Metallica opened up for GNR....people were leaving, because Metallica was over 2 hours of Ridiculous Fire 🔥 & a lot of fans came for them....Axle was Furious Cursing at the thousands leaving...And Yes Lex, he was a little Diva then!! You guys are my Favorite reaction channel!! Lex needs a Metallica concert to let loose her inner Rock Child! 🎼🎸😊
My 2 favorite concerts were Metallica with Avenged Sevenfold and GNR with no support from the cult. GNR played 28 songs
Haha I LOVE that girls reaction I can tell that she really really enjoyed that song. That's the thing about guns n roses they will literally get you attacked to their music
I freaking love to see when Lex gets excited 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Who cares what they’re talking about…the music/energy touches your soul.
Stevie Ray Vaughn will give you all the goose bumps from his guitar. One of the most profound artists taken too early. Not Metal but Blues, but every guitar player will give SRV his dues.
U guys have the best reaction site, IMHO. Lexi is so genuine in her response to great guitar licks...her pure enjoyment is infectious, one can't help but enjoy her commentary.
Yep all the ones everyone has commented on are good. Don't think a video was ever made for this one, but one of my favorites off Appetite for Destruction was Mr. Brownstone.
Slash and Guns N Roses are amazing!
Hell yeah! Was here for this one live for a change. The disappointment from Brad when he couldn't follow along at the end whilst lex went of her nut haha.
Lex's reaction was incredible!! She looked like she was going to explode when the outro solo was ripping. GnR is and was amazing!!
Long live Izzy for the intertwining guitar subtleties. Slash is my favorite lead player but Izzy made that guitar sound so rich.
Graduated in 1988 this whole album Appetite for Destruction was everywhere all day all night….I think it’s sold so far over 30 million copies world wide..
" Best solo ever ? "
The way is still long young Metal padawan...🤘
LOL!
Right, but not everything with electrical guitars is metal. ;)

The Best Solo Ever? Considered from many people on this planet? Pink Floyed: "Comfortably Numb ,Pulse Live
Followed by Stairway to Heaven
I was at the Monsters of Rock festival where the second part of the live shots are from. It was kin ace
Sometimes you just gotta feel the music, and stop overthinking the lyrics… sometimes they just don’t matter. It’s the feels.
Lyrics are last for it music and melody
I saw GNR at Starwood Amphitheater in Nashville back in 1988. They were the opening act for Aerosmith. Being outdoors, you'd think the sound quality would suffer, but noooo! This was one loud ass concert and Axl Rose brought it big time. His energy really got the crowd going. Aerosmith then came out and had all sorts of problems with their sound system; Steven Tyler was cussin' and leaving the stage off and on, to the point that we (along with many people) left. We later heard that after about 30 more minutes, the show went on but that GNR was the real show stealer. I know they blew me away enough that leaving early wasn't even a bummer. I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to see Axl at his best.
You guys want guitar? There’s only one man… Stevie Ray Vaughan. I don’t know if you guys can handle Texas Flood so maybe start with The Sky is Crying. RIP SRV🎸
I suggest Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jeff Healey "Look at little sister" ruclips.net/video/2HmLFyvFxTc/видео.html. Jeff Healey was a blind guitarist who had a unique way of playing the guitar laying it flat on his lap. One of the best guitarist there ever was and was totally underrated!! Watching him play is absolutely Incredible!!
I was crushing on that diva watching MTV after school all through puberty. So good seeing younger generations appreciating the great tunes I grew up with.
I'm impressed how quickly you picked up on Axles diva energy!
I grew up with Guns and Roses I just seen them in 2021 at Wrigley Field in Chicago I love rock and roll I was a teenager in the 70s and nothing in my mind replaces rock and roll Guns and Roses they make you feel alive and it's so exciting listening to axel and the rest of the guys they put on a great show all their music is great and it makes you feel inside alive and yes Goosebumps I feel so sorry for the kids today that didn't get the opportunity to live in one of the greatest heroes and that's the 70s as a teenager. Rock music is the boss you can tell the difference who's singing and there's instruments the music today there's no instruments how about that lead guitarist his name is Slash as far as I'm concerned he is one of the best guitar players in the world I love him I love Guns and Roses try to listen to the song Civil War estranged Welcome to the Jungle yesterday Sweet Child of Mine patience November Rain you could be mine that song was in Terminator 2 and Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted Guns and Roses to do that song for the movie Arnold Schwarzenegger is a big fan of Guns and Roses stick with rock and roll it will make you feel good inside
I love when lex gets totally rocked out and psyched.
Lex's reaction to the solo is pretty much what i go through each time i listen to this song
The guitarist “slash” is one of the best
My first concert,December 5th,1992,G n' R,Use Your Illusion Tour,River Plate Stadium,Buenos Aires,Argentina.🤘🤘
I think you two will like these songs🤘
Guns N' Roses - Rocket Queen
- Mr. Brownstone
- Think About You
Nice. No one ever asks for "think about you." Banger!!
These were some of the craziest concerts I ever went to.
Really dig you guys channel. I appreciate how you described the manner that you listen to music with a basic and structured beat and the fact that it seems a bit messy and/or chaotic when they are going in on the song wildly. I like it all and enjoy Lexs enthusiasm when she is taken for a music ride. She makes me laugh. Stay blessed.
This is one GNR's greatest song. It's also one that most people completely overlook its meaning. This is a very dark song when you look at the lyrics, it's the execution of a man who is pleading and begging to some higher authority to go to heaven ... the last half of the song is the man dying in the gas chamber.
Just a urchin livin' under the street
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' the time
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
I wanna go, I wanna know
November Rain. Talk about a great guitar solo. The solo in that gives me chills every time.
Okay I absolutely adore Lex rocking out during this. She's adorable.
G&R is a great example of an amazing band whose glory was cut short by the issues of their front man. They were amazing, but they could have done so much more and never really had the chance.
OMG. Girl, I love your excitement! You keep saying, "I didn't think it was possible". Welcome to the past. People are waking up to the fact that music has been dumbed down on purpose. You have such a long, incredible journey ahead of you. You will soon be wishing it was still 1977. So do the people that lived through it.
I will never forget in 1993 I saw them in Nijmegen Holland.the crowd got crazy when the uptempo part began.
🤣 Lex lit up for the second half of the song!
Brad, glad you partially liked it man! Keep going, there are more hits! 🎸
I had to get up and dance like a goofy madman during the solo. This song has so much electricity in it! Good lord!
"Theres Axl Slash and then there Guns N Roses" yes 100% I agree
Girl, let it out! This entire song is a masterpiece but the last two minutes are perfection. It’s my favorite song to listen to at the gym, the ending really does get you moving. If you guys haven’t checked out November Rain yet, that one’s probably more Brad’s speed and it’s a beautiful song/video. Loved this reaction!
Saying Axl is a diva is an understatement lol He would show up to concerts two to three hours later after the opening bands set ended.
One of the GREATEST live bat of the lats 80’s and 90’s!!! You don’t know what you missed!
Love love this song and the SOLO at the end is such a great way to end that song! Do more GnR! Knocking on Heavens Door!
Same with me Lex! Slash kills it for the longest time, while hes singing, and all the way to the end! So glad you picked that up!
Guns N Roses were some of the biggest rockstars ever. Almost every song is a powerhouse. My favorite is "You Could Be Mine", which had a strong tie-in with the Terminator 2 movie. Watch the official video!
Saw them in concert on this tour, had no clue who they were they opened for motley crue's girls girls girls tour in the early 80's, the show was awesome, they had a small set up and you could tell they were up and coming at the time. caught them a second time on the use your illusion tour in biloxi mississippi in the 90's Excellent show.
I LOVE how Lex expresses herself when she likes something.
That kicked ass for you didn't it. Time for "Rocket Queen"
Wait till you do "sweet child o'mine" "civil war" great reaction, always love the reaction. BTW you got to take Lex to a major rock show, she gets so hype, I love it.
I got to see these guys in concert back in '93 when I was stationed in Germany.
Lex, you bee-bopping is so cute! Love watching you two and enjoying the memories. Thank you so very much!
so far this is the absolute bestest reaction from Lex!!!! I rewound her last comments like 20 times!! Love you guys! Keep up the great work!
Axl is a genius. He wrote the best songs ever. His creativity is out of this world. Cherry on top he had the talented Slash to add the perfect finish touch.
Um, actually Izzy Stradlin was a HUGE contribution to their lyrics.
@@edwardgomez5616no he wasn't this is why no one likes izzy because yall overrate him. The whole band wrote the majority of the songs but the 2 main writers were axl and izzy. Izzy just wrote 2 songs by himself yall needa stop downplaying the members and realize all of them are the reason why gnr is legendary.
"You're like on 10 right now."
LMFAO yup, G&R does that to us. She's definitely a rocker.
Love the way she gets it every time
Paradise City....the best roller coaster ride of a song EVER.
He is definitely a diva or at least he was.
He still is
Now he's just nuts
This was the song that made me fall in love with GNR back in the day.
Paradise city is great track but as a live song it is epic! It is an experience to not be missed.
I just love lex, she feels the music 💓💓💓 you go girl
this band has three speeds super slow and melodic, a classic rock speed, then full send. you ain't the first, estranged, slow paced, mr brownstone. little faster, you could be mine , paradise city fast for them
Estranged is one of my favorites
Garden of Eden and Right Next door to Hell LOL
saw them in the early 90s when they came to N.Z. It was Axls birthday and the whole crowd sang him happy birthday at Mt Smart stadium in South Auckland. Skidrow opened for them
It makes my day when Lexi gets excited about metal!
Lex's smile the last few minutes........Pure Awesomeness!!!
