They weren't called "The Most Dangerous Band In The World" for nothing. The most real rock band there is. None of these guys were playing a part, they were who they portrayed
I am actually looking forward to seeing them play live. "That Afro Dude" is Saul Hudson, effectionately known as #Slash. He is my single favorite guitarist of all time. Steve Vai is great (Bad Horsie rocks) and Orion is my favorite piece of music ... but Slash!!
I agree is my favorite band and all the songs have a fckng solo in it, i'm learning guitar and i wanna play with slash style boyyyy boyyy but it's not so easy to make music like this
I remember hearing "It's so easy" back in 1990, and I had never heard anything so explicit lyrically in my life... Goes to show how far "explicit lyrics" have come since the 1980's. And yeah, we "lose it" when we crank out Guns N' Roses!!!
I suppose back in the day artist were clever in how they placed their swear words usually they used innuendos which i think lyrically is a much better way of writing a song
Your face when he said F off 😂😂😂 Priceless THEN WHAT WERE Y'ALL LIKE!!!! You're killing me. You know they say Gen X doesn't give a crap about what anyone thinks. Now you understand that it's true. Love you JoJo 💖
Dude as a Metal Head the same song that fires you up , will chill you out too . Just depends on what’s going on in your life @ the time . Helps vent frustration @ a lightning pace !
Exactly. The most hard rocking song can just pump you up or calm you down. Depending on your mood. All it does is just change you mentality going into it. If your in the mood to rock out, you focus more on the music. If you wanna be calmer, you focus on the lyrics. At least that’s how it works for me.
See I guess it's because I was raised on mostly hip hop and newer type Rock that I don't get a chill vibe from this track. Pink Floyd would make me chill but this track gets me hyped. If you can chill to this track but more importantly this video, I guess you would probably be speed metal to get you hyped right? My friend would listen to Old School Pink Floyd to help him go to sleep. It's so easy.. I can't stay calm when I hear that. I guess this is definitely my favorite band ever. Remember I'm about the same age as homeboy above doing the channel. That means I was pretty much raised on what I mentioned above when it comes to different genres. My pop would listen to '70s rock. AC/DC gets you to hype up or does it mellow you? I'm talking about without the weed haha. Just trying to get ideas from people of different age groups. Peace
I think Axl was simply talking about what they let the rockstar lifestyle do to them. They felt like they could say and do anything. Axl is known for his temper and out of control behavior, but they thankfully survived and I won't ever forget being a teenage girl hearing this for the first time in the Summer of 1987. 🤘
Duff Mckagen and West Arkeen actually wrote this song and it was before their stardom when they all as a band were basically living off of the girls they were all sleeping with…hence “It’s so easy.”
“You get nothing for nothing, if that’s what you do. Turn around, bitch, I’ve got a use for you. Besides, you ain’t got nothing better to do. And. I’m. Bored.” Is the most badass verse ever written. Put that beside any line and line it up with any hip hop song you like. Still the most badass.
A LOT of their concerts ended up in riots. Full on burn down cars, loot buildings, riots. I grew up with my dad listening to this, Guns & Roses was comforting lol, I used to actually go to sleep playing ‘Appetite for Destruction’ tape on headphones
When GNR's first album dropped in 1987...This was the band! A friend needed a couple of us to go pick up some boxes from an office he worked at, about a 40 mile drive. We had "Appetite For Destruction" cranked up the whole trip. His dad let him take the box mobile phone 🤣... I don't think I've heard a bad GNR song. They've been 🔥🔥🔥🔥 since 87'
I’ve been watching you fall in love with Guns N’ Roses for about a year now and this is my personal favorite GNR track. I’m glad you found it! Gonna watch the video now.
Guns N Roses are the best & they are my fav. band, of all time. In real life, I am a good girl (no drugs, no drinks, no smoking, etc.) & I always use kindness, as my way in life. However, Guns N Roses bring something different into my life, something wild & carefree, I guess. This band's music speaks to my soul & blows my mind away, since 1990, on so many levels. You do not have to be a villain, to be a huge fan & love this band (or any other rock band, for that matter). I listen to them, whenever I possibly can. Jojo, Guns N Roses are still touring! :) Maybe you & your dad can attend one of their concerts, in the near future? Attending at least one of their concerts, is something you could treasure, for the rest of your life :)
Love your reaction. I've been listening to this over 30 years, I'm 43, and I still feel like you did when it's on. I run around, my heart races, and sing at the top of my lungs. Or I rock out at full volume while driving. GnR taught me how to live life my own way and that's what I did. Keep on rockin' 🤟
I remember sneaking out into my grandparents living room to watch the premiere of the video for Welcome to the Jungle in 1987. In November of that year I bought Appetite for Destruction on cassette with my 4th birthday money. I’ve been listening to GNR ever since. I owned every GNR album, including a bootleg live performance from 1986 except for Greatest Hits because the band had no say in that album. I even have several soundtracks that the band was featured on, including the Interview with a Vampire soundtrack and the End Of Days Soundtrack. As far as what I do when listening to it. The answer is whatever I’m doing at that moment. Driving, laundry, working, whatever. When I was a kid, I listened to music mostly while just walking, either through my neighborhood or in the woods. As I got a little older, it was smoking cigarettes, drinking underage, driving way too fast and recklessly and the occasional recreational drug (sometimes way more then occasional).
Lies! Welcome to the Jungle didn't get play on MTV until early 1988. And there wasn't any formal "Premier" for this previously unknown band. They just snuck it on at 3am to see what would happen. And the stoners up at the hour who saw started calling MTV asking "who ARE those guys?" And their star started rising from there. So sorry, your story doesn't check out.
When I got really pissed off I would blast this stuff all the time just to take off some heat. But I would also blast it to pump me up. I was one of the first women in the mosh pit. It was awesome. I'm 55 now and still love this music.
Holy shit. Dude I’m so stoked that your content is going to at least drive more young people to dig into other decades and gêneras, like you are me as a young black guy and I love it. I hope your channel blows up. I see you have a ton of videos, I’m so excited for the future. You are so passionate about music of all kinds. So refreshing to see. Thx
Now you understand why GnR melted my freaking face the first time I heard Welcome to the Jungle. Scared the hell out of me. Then I immediately bought the album! What did I do while listening to it? Work out. Run. Drive too fast. High five my buddies. Dream about being a rock star and not giving a F. 🤷🏻♂️
Every single song in this album is an explosion of pure rock!!! For me the rel best band in the world!!!!This song opened their live in Italy in tour 1992. It was an incredible show! My dream to come back in 1988 and see them at the Ritz !!!! Awesome legendary live!!!
You asked what people do while listening to this song. It’s So Easy is from the greatest album of all time, Appetite For Destruction. I listen to this album every time while working out, doing my jump rope and boxing routine. GN’R truly kicks ass!
Lol, you ask, or worry, about what we were/are like when listening to this (and music like this). I am what would be considered a fairly buttoned up, professional woman (am older), but this is the kind of music I and my friends listened to at clubs in our club days (metal/biker bar type places, lol). I always found rock/metal to be great therapy to deal with my frustrations - it is a great outlet, which allowed me to be "buttoned up and professional' all week to get the job done. It is still great therapy but not the only kind of music I listen to, by any means. I was listening to Amy Winehouse while making breakfast this morning. I love most all music.
I never bought a Guns and Roses album,but loved when they came on the radio. I was pretty poor back then so I couldn't buy many CD's, but when they came on the radio, I turned them up. :) There is a song called "Don't Cry" by Guns and Roses, featuring Shannon Hoon (the amazing lead singer of Blind Melon) which is one of my favorite songs from Guns and Roses and the way Axl and Shannon's voice mesh together is really good. Shannon is singing the high parts (Shannon is a guy) and Axl is singing the lower parts. I didn't really "come into my own" until the nineties when I would discover alt rock.. Nirvana, Alice in Chains, the Cranberries, Mazzy Star and so many others. I was in a band.. spend a lot of time just hanging out with friends, writing and playing music. I was a very sad young woman... lots of family problems and boyfriend problems..... I would "bleed" through my music, if that makes sense and sing a long with my favorite artists, mentioned above when I wasn't hanging out with friends. Drove some of my neighbors crazy probably. Lol
I love your reactions to rock or anything out of your own play list. So genuine and open to it. I have no idea why I get excited to watch people discover their talent.
This album as a whole is truly visceral, hardcore, and raw. These guys were legit, they burned the candle from both sides. As they progressed, the use you illusions album became more "grown-up", more toned, piano added, so on.. Truly one of the greatest bands of all time, and they were as they portrayed themselves, not like other glam-rock artist, who done it for the looks... these guys nearly died on multiple occasions on alcohol/drugs, robbed hookers, etc..
I never got to go to a Guns N' Roses concert but I recently went to a Slash feat. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators concert, and it was fantastic. Slash can shred like no other.
I was bullied as a kid and about 10 yrs old when I bought this album on cassette tape. LoL.... nothing spoke more to me than "you think you're so cool/why'dnt ya just ... F-CK OFF!" ... Still one of G n' Rs best tracks. 🤘⚘ Glad you liked it!! 🖤
Hello mate! This is Dioni from Spain. I discovered you a few days ago and I am really happy that you like GNR and the way you show us yours first reactings fellings. Its really motivated to see you how enjoyed them.They are my favourite band from 32 years ago. All the best my friend!
I have a 54 year old white guy at a huge fan. We partied on a scale that you couldn't imagine it wouldn't even be legal now at one point we routinely had House parties with 300 people through the house in the night
Man they open with its so easy live and it kicks off. Seen them twice since 2017 and pulled off two killer 3 hour shows. Would have been another thing entirely catching them back in the late 80s, bit it's as close as I'd get
That afro guy on guitar is the legendary Slash. He's half black and half Jewish & probably the coolest dude on planet Earth. Hey, don't be scared of us man. We're everyday people just like you. A lot of people are actually surprised at how nice we actually are. You know when we're not fuckin and brawlin n shit.
Axl and Ice Cube actually spoke seriously about G n R and NWA.touring together when both groups were on top..came real close to happening too..I think until their management both looked into how much insurance and security would cost 😂
Love your reactions to them: they’re one of my most favorite bands ever. My best memory was getting front row tickets for my daughter and me to see them in Hollywood, FL last September (it was her birthday present)… and yes, I’ll clean the house or mow the yard to “It’s So Easy.” It’s a relaxing song 😎🤘🏼
Drinking n driving was about the safest thing GNR were doing in the 80's, you should look into the whole Hollywood BLVD/Viper Room/Roxy/Rainbow scene when all these bands were huge, they did more drugs, spent and made more money, slept with more groupies than you'd ever believe, makes rappers look tame. GNR were playing to crowds sometimes over 1,000,000 all over the world. Some great documentaries and books on that time/culture.
I'm happily a villain, I guess! Lol this proves villains are fun. In all seriousness, this was one of my favorite bands growing up in the 80s and to this day. I wish I went to a GnR concert but no one in my social circle would be interested, so I just rocked out to them with my Walkman. LOL What do I do now while listening to them Jojo? Anything, commute to work, working, cleaning, working out, running. If I was at a concert, I'd be wiling out! 🤣😍
I remember watching sweet child o' mine on tv. When I was like 7 , I didn't understand a thing because I couldn't speak English back then , but that song just made me feel something that a 7 year old shouldn't feel . at that moment even with no real way to understand whatever they were playing I actually felt the music . they became my favorite band and the reason I learned English . their music is just on another level .
This song took me a year to get into because of the lyrics. But once I actually sat down and listened to it, I had the same reactions as you. This is one of my favorite videos of yours yet!
First I have to say you are adorable and I hope you don't take that the wrong way...lol... I grew up in my teen years to guns and roses... For many years I was a head banger or metal head as we were called... I find your reaction to what I grew up with absolutely hysterical... I really enjoyed this video... And to be honest, some of us got into some f 'd up s*** to this music.... And some of us just used it to get out the rage we felt inside... I'm a well adjusted adult.. successful and happy.... And I never really went down some of the worst roads i could have. I have to smile when I think about some of the things I felt and did back then.... It was a way for us to get out our anger. It was our rebellion. Sitting in a room together getting wasted or smashing into each other in mosh pits.... It was a release and an escape..... Thank you for bringing back the memories.
What were we like? We were head banging 80 early 90s teenagers and early 20’s having the time of our lives like no other generation! That’s what we were doing 😎
I love how you said you people even go shopping and even meditate to this hahahaha this is gold it's cause our generation is full of raw untamed energy this is our release this is what soothes our souls glad you liked it
When you said what were y’all like when y’all listened to them (referring to rap music) It’s the same thing. I wasn’t alive at the time but I have studied that shit. And believe me when I tell you there’s not much of a difference. That’s what’s beautiful about music. Dude I love NWA, Cube, Nas, Dr. Dre, Tupac. But I also love Guns N’ Roses, Mötley, metallica And they came out around the same time. (Mötley came out about 6-7 years before them but they’re in the same category) All the rap guys were a few years after but like everybody came together and loved music. It’s amazing. And I wish I grew up in that time.
as a rock/heavy metal fan i like this cause you’re not hating on them you’re actually saying good stuff about them a lot of people who like rap say ‘oh rock is just screaming and stuff’ so I like this
Guns N Roses is known as the world's most dangerous band but they have a soft side to but appetite for destruction was the album that broke record's and made them famous
Guns N Roses were the real deal. They weren't a rock band as much as they were a group of street criminals who also made music. Also, this is rock n roll- you're supposed to be the villain!
Appetite came out my senior year....they were HUGE right out of the gate. This video shows you why. Great music came out that year from a few bands but Appetite for Destruction & Electric (The Cult) were my two favorite albums that year.
this song and alot of other gnr songs mostly appetite for destruction songs bring me to this state of high adrenaline and that's why i love 80s rock so much
look cant say for everyone, but our entire school was crazy about rock and songs like this and we didnt take any shit from anybody. But that never meant we broke rules or anything. We were very goody two shoes, but we fought for everything we wanted in life and didnt rest till we got it and no matter what anyone else said, we never let anyone tell us no. And that is a thing I really am proud of. the real scary people were in the 60's. I wasnt alive that long ago but they legit had environmental "terrorists" back then who were also hippies...brrrmhehehe. I am telling you, the world is getting less and less open minded and more and more backwards and restrictive by the day. And people like no likey. Wait till our generation becomes heavyweight in politics and replaces these boomers.
I will absolutely crank Appetite while doing my housework. Or working out. Or walking the dog. Anytime is a good time for GnR. Unfortunately too young to have seen them in their prime, but I did go to a concert in 2017 when they got back together (mostly). Axl’s voice still sounded pretty good early in the tour when I saw them. Incredible! 3 1/2 hour long show. Nonstop energy. 55 year old Axl was running around giving it everything. Duff and Slash were obviously amazing. Richard Fortus is a super talented addition to the band, as well. Wish I could go back in time to see them in the late 80’s.
I seen them on my 15th birthday, opening for Motley Crue on there girls girls tour Nov. 3rd 1987 in Mobile, Al. Nobody even new who guns and roses was at the time. It was probably 3 months before the Visio for welcome to the jungle came out. And they blew the Crue AWAY!!!!!
I was 9 years old when "Appetite for Destruction" came out. My mom took me to a store to buy my very first cassette for my brand new tape player! She said I could pick anything I wanted and she also picked one for me. THIS was my choice! Hers? Debbie Gibson! 🤣 She def didn't understand her child! 🤣❤️
Mate, from an old guy like me (47) , i so love seeing young guys enjoy this shit. i saw GNR in 93, friggen awesome ! all the best bro ! thanks for posting this clip :)
GOOD NEWS my guy, Guns and Roses is going on tour again. Slash has been on solo tour and he said when he gets done he is going straight into practice with the Band for their upcoming Tour. I dont know if the dates and locations are posted yet. But when they are you need to see if you can catch a show. Once in a lifetime oppotunity
When the record came out. I listened to it 300 times non stop. Learned every song on guitar. I was16. I became what used . we all were metal heads but managed to play and keep jobs and attend college. I only had 30 CDs or cassete then. You couldn't waste ur day on net doing shit like kids today. You got real good playing the meanest , fucking bands rock. And I still stand by that culture tiday. Never owned a rap recordEVER!
Use to listen to this tape on my Walkman while reading Stephen King books. BTW that’s SLASH and he is a guitar GOD. Right up there with Jimmy Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn there’s a few select others but Slash has done so much it’s crazy
GNR is one of my fave bands since I was 8 years old. "It's So Easy" is one of my favorite songs from Appetite for Destruction and the way I understand those lyrics is: he mentions drinking, driving, fights, women... things that men considered badass at the time (and many still do), right? But when the song slows down, after he says "It's so easy when everybody is trying to please me", he says "It's so easy but nothing seems to please me". So, what's the point in doing and having all that stuff so easily if you don't even enjoy them? As in life, most things we get easily end up being taken for granted. About what you said in the beginning, rockers can be a bit of pain sometimes when they go "What about this or that band?". The best band is the one whose songs speak to you the most, lyrically, melodically, rhythmically or just because. Period.

The dude with the Afro- wow. He is the one and only - slash! A true talent.
Self taught and plays from the heart
In my humble opinion, Appetite for Destruction, is the greatest rock album ever, if not one of the best ever in all genres.
Seriously, there isn’t a single track on appetite for destruction that I skip, all of them are pure fucking gold.
“You get nothing for nothing, if that’s what you do. Turn around, bitch, I’ve got a use for you. Besides, you ain’t got nothing better to do. And. I’m. Bored.” Is the most badass verse ever written. Put that beside any line and line it up with any hip hop song you like. Still the most badass.
Still flaberred after 40 yrs bud! 😂 love it!
All these years later and nothing else hits quite like 'Appetite for Destruction'.
A LOT of their concerts ended up in riots. Full on burn down cars, loot buildings, riots. I grew up with my dad listening to this, Guns & Roses was comforting lol, I used to actually go to sleep playing ‘Appetite for Destruction’ tape on headphones

Shannon is singing the high parts (Shannon is a guy) and Axl is singing the lower parts. I didn't really "come into my own" until the nineties when I would discover alt rock.. Nirvana, Alice in Chains, the Cranberries, Mazzy Star and so many others. I was in a band.. spend a lot of time just hanging out with friends, writing and playing music. I was a very sad young woman... lots of family problems and boyfriend problems..... I would "bleed" through my music, if that makes sense and sing a long with my favorite artists, mentioned above when I wasn't hanging out with friends. Drove some of my neighbors crazy probably. Lol
This is the first album I ever owned back as a young Gen-Xer in 1988. It's a classic from start to finish.
I love your reactions to rock or anything out of your own play list. So genuine and open to it. I have no idea why I get excited to watch people discover their talent.
This is the best reaction I've seen of anyone reaction videos from anyone. LFR Jojo you rock!
This album as a whole is truly visceral, hardcore, and raw. These guys were legit, they burned the candle from both sides. As they progressed, the use you illusions album became more "grown-up", more toned, piano added, so on.. Truly one of the greatest bands of all time, and they were as they portrayed themselves, not like other glam-rock artist, who done it for the looks... these guys nearly died on multiple occasions on alcohol/drugs, robbed hookers, etc..
Man, it's awesome watching you react to music I grew up with and loved. Keep expanding your tastes. 🤘
Yeah man...the POWER of rock n roll. Gotta love it
I was like eleven when Appetite came out.
My first real favourite band in my life.
I never got to go to a Guns N' Roses concert but I recently went to a Slash feat. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators concert, and it was fantastic. Slash can shred like no other.
You still can attend a GnR concert. They are still touring :)
I was bullied as a kid and about 10 yrs old when I bought this album on cassette tape. LoL.... nothing spoke more to me than "you think you're so cool/why'dnt ya just ... F-CK OFF!" ... Still one of G n' Rs best tracks. 🤘⚘ Glad you liked it!! 🖤
Btw...I saw guns n roses on their Appetite for Destruction(their debut album) tour, when I was 14... Maaannn...it was THE BEST SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN❤❤❤
Hello mate! This is Dioni from Spain. I discovered you a few days ago and I am really happy that you like GNR and the way you show us yours first reactings fellings. Its really motivated to see you how enjoyed them.They are my favourite band from 32 years ago. All the best my friend!
I saw GnR last summer....I was in the merch line when the band opened with this song Everyone erupted dancing and singing....super pumped and badass!
I have a 54 year old white guy at a huge fan. We partied on a scale that you couldn't imagine it wouldn't even be legal now at one point we routinely had House parties with 300 people through the house in the night
Man they open with its so easy live and it kicks off. Seen them twice since 2017 and pulled off two killer 3 hour shows. Would have been another thing entirely catching them back in the late 80s, bit it's as close as I'd get
That afro guy on guitar is the legendary Slash. He's half black and half Jewish & probably the coolest dude on planet Earth.
Hey, don't be scared of us man. We're everyday people just like you. A lot of people are actually surprised at how nice we actually are. You know when we're not fuckin and brawlin n shit.
Axl and Ice Cube actually spoke seriously about G n R and NWA.touring together when both groups were on top..came real close to happening too..I think until their management both looked into how much insurance and security would cost 😂
guns n roses is a way of life
Love your reactions to them: they’re one of my most favorite bands ever. My best memory was getting front row tickets for my daughter and me to see them in Hollywood, FL last September (it was her birthday present)… and yes, I’ll clean the house or mow the yard to “It’s So Easy.” It’s a relaxing song 😎🤘🏼
Drinking n driving was about the safest thing GNR were doing in the 80's, you should look into the whole Hollywood BLVD/Viper Room/Roxy/Rainbow scene when all these bands were huge, they did more drugs, spent and made more money, slept with more groupies than you'd ever believe, makes rappers look tame. GNR were playing to crowds sometimes over 1,000,000 all over the world.
Some great documentaries and books on that time/culture.
My best concert ever was Guns n Roses, Metallica and Faith No More!
ME TOOOO!!! I still talk about that concert. Saw them in Buffalo ny! Use your illusion tour!!
I close my eyes, smile, and headbang when this comes on because it f'n rocks!!
i waited like 2 years for jojo to release another gnr video 😭😭
You was meant to be born in our time my dude. GNR was, is and will always be my best band. Yes… I’m a villain.
I'm happily a villain, I guess! Lol this proves villains are fun. In all seriousness, this was one of my favorite bands growing up in the 80s and to this day. I wish I went to a GnR concert but no one in my social circle would be interested, so I just rocked out to them with my Walkman. LOL
What do I do now while listening to them Jojo? Anything, commute to work, working, cleaning, working out, running. If I was at a concert, I'd be wiling out! 🤣😍
This was in the wild days. I am old now but back then....wooooo..
Gans n' roses bast band +++
I mean this was the late 80's too! I was born in the 80's I've always loved guns and roses. Slash is epic! He's even good in velvet revolver !
Lol what kind of people were there fans? You tell us because you’re clearly a fan yourself!!
Those days were so awesome!
This is guns n roses. As Axl once said"They said we are the sloppiest band in the world, but I dont really give a fuck."
I remember watching sweet child o' mine on tv. When I was like 7 , I didn't understand a thing because I couldn't speak English back then , but that song just made me feel something that a 7 year old shouldn't feel . at that moment even with no real way to understand whatever they were playing I actually felt the music . they became my favorite band and the reason I learned English . their music is just on another level .
This song took me a year to get into because of the lyrics. But once I actually sat down and listened to it, I had the same reactions as you. This is one of my favorite videos of yours yet!
Best concert I've ever been to, G n R / Metallica, 1992.
First I have to say you are adorable and I hope you don't take that the wrong way...lol... I grew up in my teen years to guns and roses... For many years I was a head banger or metal head as we were called... I find your reaction to what I grew up with absolutely hysterical... I really enjoyed this video... And to be honest, some of us got into some f 'd up s*** to this music.... And some of us just used it to get out the rage we felt inside... I'm a well adjusted adult.. successful and happy.... And I never really went down some of the worst roads i could have. I have to smile when I think about some of the things I felt and did back then.... It was a way for us to get out our anger. It was our rebellion. Sitting in a room together getting wasted or smashing into each other in mosh pits.... It was a release and an escape..... Thank you for bringing back the memories.
Never a band like them..the very best
You asked about GNR concerts, I've seen them 3 times & they are so raw ! This is one of my favorites from them ! Thnx !
Haha!!! One of the best bands ever!
What were we like? We were head banging 80 early 90s teenagers and early 20’s having the time of our lives like no other generation! That’s what we were doing 😎
Guns N' Roses is the best rock band! They just don't make bad songs, it's crazy. Recommend their new song Hard Skool!
I love how you said you people even go shopping and even meditate to this hahahaha this is gold it's cause our generation is full of raw untamed energy this is our release this is what soothes our souls glad you liked it
I just found your channel and I'm soooo glad! GnR was the band of my teens. OMG! My room was full of their posters! My favourite rock band for sure!
Let’s gooo
I LOVE it, how you react to Guns n`Roses! Especially to the lyrics... hahaha ;-) I learned English with Guns n`Roses songs! I had a lot fun!
Love your videos fam. Ur energy is so fun thank you.
When you said what were y’all like when y’all listened to them (referring to rap music) It’s the same thing. I wasn’t alive at the time but I have studied that shit. And believe me when I tell you there’s not much of a difference. That’s what’s beautiful about music. Dude I love NWA, Cube, Nas, Dr. Dre, Tupac. But I also love Guns N’ Roses, Mötley, metallica And they came out around the same time. (Mötley came out about 6-7 years before them but they’re in the same category) All the rap guys were a few years after but like everybody came together and loved music. It’s amazing. And I wish I grew up in that time.
“The guitar dude…whoever he is.” You mean Slash, one of the greatest guitarists of all time, a living legend? 🤣 I love it.
as a rock/heavy metal fan i like this cause you’re not hating on them you’re actually saying good stuff about them a lot of people who like rap say ‘oh rock is just screaming and stuff’ so I like this
Guns N Roses is known as the world's most dangerous band but they have a soft side to but appetite for destruction was the album that broke record's and made them famous
In 89 we went crazy for this shit. In 2022 we still going crazy for this shit.
Guns N Roses were the real deal. They weren't a rock band as much as they were a group of street criminals who also made music. Also, this is rock n roll- you're supposed to be the villain!
Love this! I felt like you are describing me! Nothing like the pit w GNR! ❤
YES FINALLY! Another reaction from youtubes GNR reaction king!
Appetite came out my senior year....they were HUGE right out of the gate. This video shows you why. Great music came out that year from a few bands but Appetite for Destruction & Electric (The Cult) were my two favorite albums that year.
this song and alot of other gnr songs mostly appetite for destruction songs bring me to this state of high adrenaline and that's why i love 80s rock so much
look cant say for everyone, but our entire school was crazy about rock and songs like this and we didnt take any shit from anybody. But that never meant we broke rules or anything. We were very goody two shoes, but we fought for everything we wanted in life and didnt rest till we got it and no matter what anyone else said, we never let anyone tell us no. And that is a thing I really am proud of. the real scary people were in the 60's. I wasnt alive that long ago but they legit had environmental "terrorists" back then who were also hippies...brrrmhehehe. I am telling you, the world is getting less and less open minded and more and more backwards and restrictive by the day. And people like no likey. Wait till our generation becomes heavyweight in politics and replaces these boomers.
I will absolutely crank Appetite while doing my housework. Or working out. Or walking the dog. Anytime is a good time for GnR.
Unfortunately too young to have seen them in their prime, but I did go to a concert in 2017 when they got back together (mostly). Axl’s voice still sounded pretty good early in the tour when I saw them. Incredible! 3 1/2 hour long show. Nonstop energy. 55 year old Axl was running around giving it everything. Duff and Slash were obviously amazing. Richard Fortus is a super talented addition to the band, as well.
Wish I could go back in time to see them in the late 80’s.
Yes some of us were wild in our youth. I will be 50 next year and I am utterly relieved no one had a cell phone with a camera back then.
I seen them on my 15th birthday, opening for Motley Crue on there girls girls tour Nov. 3rd 1987 in Mobile, Al. Nobody even new who guns and roses was at the time. It was probably 3 months before the Visio for welcome to the jungle came out. And they blew the Crue AWAY!!!!!
Dr Dre said he knew he'd made it when he saw Axl wearing and NWA hat on stage 💯
I was 9 years old when "Appetite for Destruction" came out. My mom took me to a store to buy my very first cassette for my brand new tape player! She said I could pick anything I wanted and she also picked one for me. THIS was my choice! Hers? Debbie Gibson! 🤣 She def didn't understand her child! 🤣❤️
Thats the point. They were bad ass. They made you get hyped. Its hard to explain but it just makes you feel cool
Watch Live at the Ritz 1988 full show. Best hour of television ever.
Mate, from an old guy like me (47) , i so love seeing young guys enjoy this shit. i saw GNR in 93, friggen awesome ! all the best bro ! thanks for posting this clip :)
All I can say is that we were free spirited 😂😂😂😂
That feeling you had at the end, where you got lit, THAT is what we were doing when this came out! Rockin OUT!!
GOOD NEWS my guy, Guns and Roses is going on tour again. Slash has been on solo tour and he said when he gets done he is going straight into practice with the Band for their upcoming Tour. I dont know if the dates and locations are posted yet. But when they are you need to see if you can catch a show. Once in a lifetime oppotunity
I was requesting this last year, it was definitely worth the wait. This song is one of my all time favorites
When the record came out. I listened to it 300 times non stop. Learned every song on guitar. I was16. I became what used . we all were metal heads but managed to play and keep jobs and attend college. I only had 30 CDs or cassete then. You couldn't waste ur day on net doing shit like kids today. You got real good playing the meanest , fucking bands rock. And I still stand by that culture tiday. Never owned a rap recordEVER!
Love it... I was 15 when this came out. Damn I feel old 🤣
Same! I was 13! My mother was mortified to hear this blasting from my room!
dude I love your genuine reactions lol
I've had some amazing moments at GnR concerts 91-93 & I saw them play 3 times.
The 80s was a crazy time to live. I was 20 when this came out in 1987. Great, wild times back then.
Use to listen to this tape on my Walkman while reading Stephen King books. BTW that’s SLASH and he is a guitar GOD. Right up there with Jimmy Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn there’s a few select others but Slash has done so much it’s crazy
GNR is one of my fave bands since I was 8 years old. "It's So Easy" is one of my favorite songs from Appetite for Destruction and the way I understand those lyrics is: he mentions drinking, driving, fights, women... things that men considered badass at the time (and many still do), right? But when the song slows down, after he says "It's so easy when everybody is trying to please me", he says "It's so easy but nothing seems to please me". So, what's the point in doing and having all that stuff so easily if you don't even enjoy them? As in life, most things we get easily end up being taken for granted. About what you said in the beginning, rockers can be a bit of pain sometimes when they go "What about this or that band?". The best band is the one whose songs speak to you the most, lyrically, melodically, rhythmically or just because. Period.
