It's even better than the ablum Back In Black in my opinion. Yeah Hells Bell has fire intro, yeah Back In Black is iconic, yeah You Shook Me All Night Long is a fun party song. But does it have WTTJ, Paradise City, Sweet Child O Mine, Rocket Queen? Nope!
It's funny, misspelling "Patience" as "Patients" sort of changes the lyrics of the song into a hospital anthem: "Could use some patients... Gotta have more patients... Oh, I need you (all it takes is patients)"

The song is about the environment the band came up in. Axl himself moved to LA in the early 80's, and the intro scene in the music video is the retelling the story of a country boy entering this city and getting submerged in the wildness that was the 80's Los Angeles rock music scene.
This... The story according to Axl was when he got off the bus he was approached by a homeless guy who said "you know where you are? you're in the jungle".
feels like she missed that, doesnt it? start out as an innocent kid fresh off the bus and ends up tattooed and the big city rocker hair. look what the jungle does to you lol
@@glennhurst9988funny enough, that was the trending style of Western rock culture back in the day. I can never understand why every rockers had long hair though
If you watch and you see Axl looking at the TV screen. You see the ruc police wagons in Northern Ireland during the troubles. Song must also be about that.
lol impregnated. As a 53 year old guy I was a teenager when this came out and I will tell you it was a game changer. This track EvERYone was cranking. That whole album was a beast back then.
Much like you, I was then a junior in high school as well (‘87). I believe it had taken this album nearly one full year to get any recognition. By the following summer, talk of this band - who were then relatively new to the hard rock scene - was pervasive.
It's extremely interesting to listen to oldies music in general (which classic rock is probably now a part of), because much of the lyrical mastery still applies today. A great indication that life and people never change. They were dealing with much of the same sh*t we're dealing with decades later.
I feel like it's not something unique at all, as musicians usually write relatable lyrics that are something they ask/say everyday so that their songs and their messages can be understood by everyone. Take Bomehian Rhapsodi for example, right from the opening lyrics "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?" you can already tell the song would have become a timeless masterpiece of the human history
I was a 19 yr old Marine stationed in the mud in South Korea through the winter of 88, when a new unit arrived from California. One guy was wearing a G&R shirt at the bar that night. I asked him what that was. (I hadn't been stateside in almost a year and I'd been in the dirt for months. I knew nothing about America then.) He told me it was this awesome new band. I thought the name was stupid and laughed. Months later, I got back to the states and, of course, became a big G&R fan! LOL
@@kenkonwick6660 you actually need to do your research cuz you just made a moron out of yourself the only one that has a higher selling debut album is meatloaf with bat out of hell. Do some research it's really easy, that way you won't look like an idiot.
@@kenkonwick6660 do some actual research man your statement was ridiculous, and the only reason why meatloaf is a higher selling album because it came many years prior.
this was the song that introduced gnr to the mainstream.everybody says grunge rock like pearl jam and nirvana was the death of the 80s hairbands but it was gnr that really killed it.
Until they played with Metallica in Canada when James git hus arm burned off in a pyrotechnics accident and they couldn't finish. GnR had a chance to go out and do a massive kick ass set to make the show, but pussy Axel decided he didn't want to coz the crowd was riled up. GnR canceled their entire set, causing a riot and 3 people got killed in the massive crowd. That's their anthem
@@kenkonwick6660Take a pill, angry dude.💊 Hell, take the whole bottle of pills.🍼 Axl won't cry when you're gone. And I'll be laughing! Have your also happy mom put in replies here when you do it. 😂
I was 16 in '88 when this came out. The girl i was dating loved this so much that one night as she was writing me a letter instead of doing her homework, she stopped mid-sentence and wrote (in a different color), "Welcome to the jungle is on ... cool dude!", and the started the original sentence right back up where she left off. That always cracked me up. This is tied for best debut albums ever. There's not a B-side track on it, they're all awesome.
Great song from their debut album! They hit the road running with this song and didn't stop! I wore this cassette tape out in my car driving everywhere! GNR was a hard hitting rock band back in the day! Another great song is "Sweet Child O Mine" hope you give it a listen. Welcome to the GNR music Jungle! Thanks for sharing Aileen ❤💛
WELCOME BACK!!!! I just checked your channel on Saturday t see if you were still hanging out.. Hope all is well in your world and as always thanks for the reaction.
In 87, I was in 8th grade. This album was like a volcanic eruption. Just blew us away. Had this on cassette and wore it out in my Sony Sports Walkman. The Whole album is a monster. In a sea of hair bands, this stood head and shoulders above it all. This was our intro to this band. Slash is still one of my favorite guitarists. Axl's voice made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Other favorite tracks from this album are Sweet Child O Mine and Paradise City.
Great reaction as always, Aileen! Appetite for Destruction is AMAZING! You'll find Rockin' cuts like "Nightrain" "It's so Easy" "Paradise City" "Mr. Brownstone" "My Michelle" "Out Ta Get Me" and "Rocket Queen" All Bangers! You can't go wrong with any of those! Thanks.
First Guns N' Roses single that introduced the band to the world on MTV in late 1987... According to MTV, the music video aired in the early morning and the station's switchboard immediately blew up w/ requests for 'Welcome to the jungle'... It was a song that W. Axl Rose (vocals) wrote about coming to Los Angeles for the first time from his native Indiana in the 80's ... and seeing a whole new side of America that he had never experienced - hustlers, hookers, pimps, drug dealers... all in the backdrop of Hollywood and Beverly Hills. By 1988, Guns N' Roses' debut album 'Appetite for destruction' hit #1 on the US charts and the band of street outlaws were quickly becoming the biggest band in the world by that point.
When this song hit it was the high tide of the hair band era and Guns and Roses was so raw and bad ass and effing talented we just sat there picking up our jaws from off the floor.
@@SkyeID really funny was like 20 yrs later my lady was listening to a thing about it and that's when I found out that I was named on the album but my last name was an Italian slur instead of my real name really funny is I'm French dissent lmao
This song is about when Axl stepped off the bus from small town Indiana to L.A. and a dude said to him "Your in the jungle now baby , your gonna die ! "
GNR was a game changer in 87. Their run from '87-92" will probably never be duplicated. - Sweet Child 'O Mine, November Rain would be great ones to review.
Feels so nice having your uploads again and seeing the notifications popping up for your uploads ❤ This song reminds me of playing Guitar Hero more times than I could probably count and it still hits the same 😭
How is it possible to have never heard that song til your adult years? It is literally at every sporting event, numerous movies, all over commercials and tv, played on the radio daily when 99.1 and 101.1 were rock stations.
I seriously doubt this is her first time hearing it. It is one of the most played songs everyday, around the world - so much so, I was sick of hearing it 15 years ago 😅
This song was inspired about what they experienced when they first went to LA. A homeless guy literally told axle rose "welcome to the jungle. You're going to die"
I remember I was in High School and "rumblings" of Guns n' Roses were starting. Then one day on the Much Music "Power Hour" I see "Sweet Child O' Mine". I was hooked. Went out to Sam The Record Man and bought Appetite For Destruction. That whole album was KILLER. I listened to it SO MUCH. I wore out the tape and had to replace it. That also happened with, And Justice For All, Master of Puppets, Ride The Lightning and W.A.S.P.(The Headless Children). Nice to have you back! Best "stinkface" in the game, is BACK in business. Speaking of W.A.S.P. you should listen to "Mean Man" or any other song off "Headless Children". Either as a reaction or on your own time. Pretty sure you will love it! GREAT reaction, as usual and again...Nice to have you back. 🤘🤘🤘
I've seen GnR twice,,,, kickass concerts,,,,,, opened for Aerosmith at the Checkerdome in St. Louis, '89, then 2017 in St. Louis,,,, your right about the content n lyrics,,, awesome review
Wait, how is it even possible that you've never heard this? I cannot stand this band and still somehow manage to hear this song multiple times per week. 😂
Now, imagine something like this showed up on your television at 3:00AM in a Sunday of 1987 and woke you up when you were sleeping. And then the next morning all you know was that every single friend of yours was talking non-stop about this one particular song that they saw on their televisions the previous night... Many people don't know that Welcome To The Jungle was first aired on television in the most perfect time anyone could have thought of
MTV was going to play this song only once, at 4 AM in the morning. They probably thought that very few people would be awake to hear it, however, the MTV switchboard lit up the following day, with viewers requesting this song.
@@danielcobbins8861 that's what made it so interesting. Usually when something shows up in a time when it's not supposed to be noticed, it won't be. But it's different in this case. I have read some stories being told by some of the first AFD listeners, they said that they knew those guys were gonna become huge right off the first track in the album. Needless to say they were right...
In '87 we had gone to a Genesis concert (a great group for some reactions), and when we were leaving Sweet Child O Mine came on the car radio for the first time. We were like, holy shit, this is fire. Totally new.
Awesome delving into the old school rock that started the rock we have today. It is interesting to see how even back then times were kind of rough. A classic for sure. As always amazing review.
This song always reminds me of being in my dads car, driving on the highway, jammin' some GnR when I was a young one lol!!! So glad to see you upload again too!!
Great reaction! You don't ramble a lot, you talk fluently with thoughtful commentary, and it's the reason I want to watch reaction channels for insightful commentary like this. Lots more great music from GNR. Just this one album will keep you occupied for many episodes.
I was fortunate enough to hear a pre-release promo copy of this album about 6 weeks before it dropped and as soon as it hit the stores I bought it. My favorites are "Think about You" which is one of the rare Izzy Stradlin written (mostly) songs and Rocket Queen which very much reminds me of a young (I was young too) "scene chick" named Allison who I really liked but never "sealed the deal" with. I really dig the Jeckyl and Hyde nature of Rocket Queen, the first part being sexual and "I'm more f**k than you can handle" and then the day and night change to and almost ethereal at times "I just want you to know I care".
Welcome to the BEGINNING. I was 8 in 1986 when this album became the phenomenon it was. Been on the train ever since. Sitting in the back of the bus all of us kids just jammin out when these songs hit the radio.
I always thought the intro felt like you were descending into a jungle, with sounds and howls coming from all around you. G&R have a lot of fun music, never quite know what to expect from them. Nice to see you again, hope you're doing good!
This whole album was in your face from beginning to end!! Definitely my favorite album of all time. Sidenote, I can’t wait to see your reaction to Rocket Queen, especially when you find out the legend of the recording!!
Welcome back Aileen 😊😊😊😊… We truly missed you!!!! One of rock’s greatest debut albums in my opinion. Saw them in 1991 and what a show it was… Definitely do a deeper dive into that album Appetite for Destruction… so many bangers!!!! Keep rocking and keep that beautiful smile 😊 on your face!!!!!
As strange as it may be this song comforted me so much in an intense moment of stress and sadness, but it’s a fantastic piece, Aileen your reaction was wonderful and I’m so happy to see you so happy❤
I like my Gn'r fast and dangerous. and this is my number one Gn'r song. It was a BIG one when it came out. I think "Appetite for destruction" is still the best selling debut album of all. Great reaction.
Damn, I remember the first time I saw this video on MTV... When it was NEW... It's freaking great to see someone new find them new for the first time. 😁
This has been called the song that drove a stake into hair metal's heart. And God bless! We needed it! The whole G&R trip took a few wrong turns, but I prefer to remember this moment in time. Fun fact: Axl and Izzy are from Lafayette IN. I lived in Lafayette. I met people that went to school with Axl (and they couldn't stand him, lol). Appetite for Destruction is still I think, the top selling debut album ever. Great reaction!
If you ever wanted to do a full album, song by song reaction, Appetite For Destruction (which begins with this ditty) is a great one. One of the best albums ever made. It was definitely a game changer. It may have been one of the first albums to begin preparing ears for the 90's
Aileen, how is it possible not to have heard this song before? I'm not saying you're lying, I'm just wondering how it's possible. It's constantly on the radio and has been played at sporting events and been in movies and everywhere else for the last 35 plus years.
I grew up with GnR....was in 7th grade when Appetite For Destruction came out. It still hits me hard when someone says "Watching Guns n Roses for the first time."
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
This album was THE album when it was released. I was in high school at the time and Appetite for Destruction was amazing.
Still is amazing!!! The whole album is great not a bad song on the album!!
It's even better than the ablum Back In Black in my opinion. Yeah Hells Bell has fire intro, yeah Back In Black is iconic, yeah You Shook Me All Night Long is a fun party song. But does it have WTTJ, Paradise City, Sweet Child O Mine, Rocket Queen? Nope!
And they followed it up with BOTH OF THE albums.
Rocket queen is my all time favorite g n r song
You couldnt walk down the street without hearing this album from 88-91
Rocket queen, Paradise city, Don't cry, Patients, Civil War, Mr. Brownstone, You could be mine.
It's funny, misspelling "Patience" as "Patients" sort of changes the lyrics of the song into a hospital anthem: "Could use some patients... Gotta have more patients... Oh, I need you (all it takes is patients)"
@@csurampowerhaha braaaains 🧠 of patients 🙏
I didn't know that GnR had a song about a hospital 😂

It was the following song to get in the ring 😂

GUYS PRAY FOR SAM AND COLBY THEY BEEN DECEIVED BY DEMONS AND ARE IN DANGER THEY ARE RUclipsRS❤
God wouldnt allow souls to be trapped on earth, its umbilical and never happened all souls belong to God, so you cant sell your soul to the devil❤
And not everyone is a child of God jesus said it himself youre of your father the devil and your desires are to do his will true children of God are the ones who have been born again spiritually and repented from sin❤
So many people say they love God, but most of them never repented from sin and have a personal relationship with him, and love isnt just a feeling love is doing❤
Familiar spirits are demons
well if I'm wrong I wasted nothing because I got peace and joy from him, but if you're wrong you wasted your entire life!! ❤️🎉 And demons love when people believe that lie that God doesn't exist and they love it when people don't know they are there ❤I copy n paste this everywhere❤
And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤
Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤
Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.
People: okay please stay this is your place❤
Demon: okay
People: **leaves**
Demon: **Goes with them anyway**
Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.
Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤
Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤
Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤
Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤
To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤
Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve
You serve the devil when you
Lie

Blasphemy
Disobey
Lazy

Gluttony
Wanting what others have cause what God has for you is for you he will never deliver your male to someone else's house

And unforgivness
And cussing murder and more
And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven
So who's lying you or God? Be serious about this❤
God is holy and righteous God is love
So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear
The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤
You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤
Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN!
Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior!
God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤
Don't expect Gods best when you always give him your least don't reject him anymore let him come in and change your life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's extremely interesting to listen to oldies music in general (which classic rock is probably now a part of), because much of the lyrical mastery still applies today.

This was the greatest debut album of all time, every song on Appetite for Destruction is insane. By far their best album.
Lolllolololol. Not even top 50 debut of all time, maybe not top 200. This band has been so massively over rated its criminal.
Every track could have been, and would have been a hit, were they released as singles. There is no filler on this record, at all.
@@kenkonwick6660 you actually need to do your research cuz you just made a moron out of yourself the only one that has a higher selling debut album is meatloaf with bat out of hell. Do some research it's really easy, that way you won't look like an idiot.
@@kenkonwick6660 yep just looked it up again best-selling debut albums of all time, meatloaf bat out of hell, guns n' roses Appetite for Destruction.
@@kenkonwick6660 do some actual research man your statement was ridiculous, and the only reason why meatloaf is a higher selling album because it came many years prior.
this was the song that introduced gnr to the mainstream.everybody says grunge rock like pearl jam and nirvana was the death of the 80s hairbands but it was gnr that really killed it.
Summer of '87, Gunners welcomed everyone to the Jungle! And they've been welcoming everyone else ever since! Great reactions, Aileen!👍
I was 13 that year lmoao
Until they played with Metallica in Canada when James git hus arm burned off in a pyrotechnics accident and they couldn't finish. GnR had a chance to go out and do a massive kick ass set to make the show, but pussy Axel decided he didn't want to coz the crowd was riled up. GnR canceled their entire set, causing a riot and 3 people got killed in the massive crowd. That's their anthem
@@kenkonwick6660Take a pill, angry dude.💊 Hell, take the whole bottle of pills.🍼 Axl won't cry when you're gone. And I'll be laughing! Have your also happy mom put in replies here when you do it. 😂
@@kenkonwick6660 Did you do it yet? Come on! I'm bored and I need a good laugh!
You: 😡+💊=👻= 😂 :me!
The entire Appetite for Destruction album is a banger! Can't go wrong with any track off of it
This was the song that made them who they are. Imagine seeing this on MTV from a band you never heard of. They were instantly rock royalty.
Paradise city and Nightrain are a must listen. Love you reactions 😊
I was 16 in '88 when this came out. The girl i was dating loved this so much that one night as she was writing me a letter instead of doing her homework, she stopped mid-sentence and wrote (in a different color), "Welcome to the jungle is on ... cool dude!", and the started the original sentence right back up where she left off. That always cracked me up. This is tied for best debut albums ever. There's not a B-side track on it, they're all awesome.
One of the most played songs at sports stadiums!
"For science reasons." I spit my damn drink out.
Great song from their debut album! They hit the road running with this song and didn't stop! I wore this cassette tape out in my car driving everywhere! GNR was a hard hitting rock band back in the day! Another great song is "Sweet Child O Mine" hope you give it a listen. Welcome to the GNR music Jungle! Thanks for sharing Aileen ❤💛
Awesome to have you back! Amazing to listen to great music with you. Okay lets add my all time favorite as a suggestion. Double talkin' jive.
WELCOME BACK!!!! I just checked your channel on Saturday t see if you were still hanging out..
Hope all is well in your world and as always thanks for the reaction.
I love how quickly you connected with the bass. It’s so pronounced and really drives so much of their music
In 87, I was in 8th grade. This album was like a volcanic eruption. Just blew us away. Had this on cassette and wore it out in my Sony Sports Walkman. The Whole album is a monster. In a sea of hair bands, this stood head and shoulders above it all. This was our intro to this band. Slash is still one of my favorite guitarists. Axl's voice made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Other favorite tracks from this album are Sweet Child O Mine and Paradise City.
Haha, your face when he started with the o sounds was priceless
Coma is a highly underrated song but one of my favorite GNR songs. It’s also over 10min long!
I posit this all the time! LOVE that track!
Their best song, IMO.
I thought I was the only one to ever recommend Coma. I think it IS their best song.
Absolute banger.
I LOVE Coma!
Great reaction as always, Aileen!
Appetite for Destruction is AMAZING! You'll find Rockin' cuts like "Nightrain" "It's so Easy" "Paradise City" "Mr. Brownstone" "My Michelle" "Out Ta Get Me" and "Rocket Queen" All Bangers! You can't go wrong with any of those!
Thanks.
That guttural "huuah" at the end of the song is the most iconic exclamation point ever.!
You have the same sweet studer my wife of 45 yrs has we are 65 now. Much love young lady. We both love your reactions you hear and feel the music ❤
First Guns N' Roses single that introduced the band to the world on MTV in late 1987... According to MTV, the music video aired in the early morning and the station's switchboard immediately blew up w/ requests for 'Welcome to the jungle'... It was a song that W. Axl Rose (vocals) wrote about coming to Los Angeles for the first time from his native Indiana in the 80's ... and seeing a whole new side of America that he had never experienced - hustlers, hookers, pimps, drug dealers... all in the backdrop of Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
By 1988, Guns N' Roses' debut album 'Appetite for destruction' hit #1 on the US charts and the band of street outlaws were quickly becoming the biggest band in the world by that point.
The video was only to be played once, at 4AM, but as noted, the switchboard blew up with requests for this song.
When this song hit it was the high tide of the hair band era and Guns and Roses was so raw and bad ass and effing talented we just sat there picking up our jaws from off the floor.
Glad to have you back and in good health. Great reaction for a great song.
It was written about the dark side of Los Angeles
after 21 years there, I think The Jungle and The Shit Show are two very accurate descriptions of that city.
@@SkyeID agreed lmao I wouldn't work with Axyl after the credit I got from rocket queen even had my name wrong lmao and no money
@@victorbradshaw7359 no money? that's a real drag!
@@SkyeID really funny was like 20 yrs later my lady was listening to a thing about it and that's when I found out that I was named on the album but my last name was an Italian slur instead of my real name really funny is I'm French dissent lmao
This song is about when Axl stepped off the bus from small town Indiana to L.A. and a dude said to him "Your in the jungle now baby , your gonna die ! "
GNR was a game changer in 87. Their run from '87-92" will probably never be duplicated. - Sweet Child 'O Mine, November Rain would be great ones to review.
So glad to see you back Aileen!!! Talk n ramble as much as you want, I love your reactions!! Nothing but class and style!! Thanks for what you do.
2 bangers on back to back days! Your on fire 🔥!
Feels so nice having your uploads again and seeing the notifications popping up for your uploads ❤ This song reminds me of playing Guitar Hero more times than I could probably count and it still hits the same 😭
"Rocket Queen "by Guns and roses is their best multi level cut , love your videos...enjoy 💖
❤.....glad you back , so good to have enjoyed this with you😊❤
So many layers of Aileen’s beauty
There's always more...🤘
Thank you ❣
Welcome back girl 🥰
How is it possible to have never heard that song til your adult years? It is literally at every sporting event, numerous movies, all over commercials and tv, played on the radio daily when 99.1 and 101.1 were rock stations.
I seriously doubt this is her first time hearing it. It is one of the most played songs everyday, around the world - so much so, I was sick of hearing it 15 years ago 😅
Yeah... There's been others that she's done that "she's never heard". I guess it's all part of the reaction game.
Welcome back and thanks for reacting to this great song!🎉
Guns n Roses came out rough and raw when all the other bands were glam. Grungy before grunge. This album changed everything!
What a joy to watch your reaction to this! “Like a sizzling steak you want to flip”. How honest and articulate- can’t wait to see more from you!
Great song choice to react aileen
Duff is one of my favorite bassists. You need Paradise City if you haven't heard it yet.
Yeah this one is truly great! My favorite song by my favorite band and your reaction was honestly one of my favorite reactions!
This song was inspired about what they experienced when they first went to LA. A homeless guy literally told axle rose "welcome to the jungle. You're going to die"
I remember I was in High School and "rumblings" of Guns n' Roses were starting. Then one day on the Much Music "Power Hour" I see "Sweet Child O' Mine". I was hooked. Went out to Sam The Record Man and bought Appetite For Destruction. That whole album was KILLER. I listened to it SO MUCH. I wore out the tape and had to replace it. That also happened with, And Justice For All, Master of Puppets, Ride The Lightning and W.A.S.P.(The Headless Children). Nice to have you back! Best "stinkface" in the game, is BACK in business. Speaking of W.A.S.P. you should listen to "Mean Man" or any other song off "Headless Children". Either as a reaction or on your own time. Pretty sure you will love it! GREAT reaction, as usual and again...Nice to have you back. 🤘🤘🤘
Missed you !!!!!
I've seen GnR twice,,,, kickass concerts,,,,,, opened for Aerosmith at the Checkerdome in St. Louis, '89, then 2017 in St. Louis,,,, your right about the content n lyrics,,, awesome review
Wait, how is it even possible that you've never heard this?
I cannot stand this band and still somehow manage to hear this song multiple times per week. 😂
Of course she’s heard it before
Bless their hearts I have no idea how they’re all still alive…. but I am grateful because I’ve seen them twice and drooled both times.
Any song off of Appetite for Destruction is awesome ❤
"Gorram beautiful storytelling"........ Firefly fan perchance lol. loving your reactions
Now, imagine something like this showed up on your television at 3:00AM in a Sunday of 1987 and woke you up when you were sleeping. And then the next morning all you know was that every single friend of yours was talking non-stop about this one particular song that they saw on their televisions the previous night...
Many people don't know that Welcome To The Jungle was first aired on television in the most perfect time anyone could have thought of
MTV was going to play this song only once, at 4 AM in the morning. They probably thought that very few people would be awake to hear it, however, the MTV switchboard lit up the following day, with viewers requesting this song.
@@danielcobbins8861 that's what made it so interesting. Usually when something shows up in a time when it's not supposed to be noticed, it won't be. But it's different in this case. I have read some stories being told by some of the first AFD listeners, they said that they knew those guys were gonna become huge right off the first track in the album. Needless to say they were right...
0:50 the eyebrow raises are perfect 👏👏
More Guns N Roses!!! How about: You Could Be Mine, Estranged, Patience, Paradise City, Don't Cry, Rocket Queen
You crack me and I love watching your reactions. You are definitely real
Ain’t no way you just finally heard this song 💀💀💀
Great reaction! ❤️ I remember grabbing this cassette from my brother and playing it on the bus as a kid.
You 100% are not ready to party with Guns n Roses. 😂
In '87 we had gone to a Genesis concert (a great group for some reactions), and when we were leaving Sweet Child O Mine came on the car radio for the first time. We were like, holy shit, this is fire. Totally new.
First off all we miss you
Second of all this song is so beautiful
And finally you need to listen to knocking in heaven doors for the same band 🌻
Knocking on heavens door by GNR is a great song. But it is a cover of Bob Dylan. Please listen to Bob Dylan’s version first before GNR’s!!
glad to see you back Aileen, been missing you
Awesome delving into the old school rock that started the rock we have today. It is interesting to see how even back then times were kind of rough. A classic for sure. As always amazing review.
This song always reminds me of being in my dads car, driving on the highway, jammin' some GnR when I was a young one lol!!! So glad to see you upload again too!!
Great reaction! You don't ramble a lot, you talk fluently with thoughtful commentary, and it's the reason I want to watch reaction channels for insightful commentary like this. Lots more great music from GNR. Just this one album will keep you occupied for many episodes.
Made me lol with your 'impregnated' remark. Not my fave band but this rocks so hard i couldnt resist
The drummer said he was using gorge of the jungle to do that slow part. You got it.😊😊😊
I was fortunate enough to hear a pre-release promo copy of this album about 6 weeks before it dropped and as soon as it hit the stores I bought it. My favorites are "Think about You" which is one of the rare Izzy Stradlin written (mostly) songs and Rocket Queen which very much reminds me of a young (I was young too) "scene chick" named Allison who I really liked but never "sealed the deal" with. I really dig the Jeckyl and Hyde nature of Rocket Queen, the first part being sexual and "I'm more f**k than you can handle" and then the day and night change to and almost ethereal at times "I just want you to know I care".
Welcome to the BEGINNING. I was 8 in 1986 when this album became the phenomenon it was. Been on the train ever since.
Sitting in the back of the bus all of us kids just jammin out when these songs hit the radio.
There is a TV commercial for Radio BOB (german rock radio station) with a busdriver looking like an Axl clone... 🙂 Welcome back Aileen. 💗
I always thought the intro felt like you were descending into a jungle, with sounds and howls coming from all around you. G&R have a lot of fun music, never quite know what to expect from them.
Nice to see you again, hope you're doing good!
Any song of of this album is awesome Aileen. Nice to see you!!❤️🙏🎸🎸🎸
Great reaction! You analysis is spot on IMO...
I love your videos!!!! Mad respect for you man 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
You're Back 💗
This whole album was in your face from beginning to end!! Definitely my favorite album of all time.
Sidenote, I can’t wait to see your reaction to Rocket Queen, especially when you find out the legend of the recording!!
YOU COULD BE MINE by guns n roses live in tokyo...
more power to youre channel keep on rockin
Guns and Roses was my favorite band of the era. Have fun discovering their many bangers.
Welcome back Aileen 😊😊😊😊… We truly missed you!!!! One of rock’s greatest debut albums in my opinion. Saw them in 1991 and what a show it was… Definitely do a deeper dive into that album Appetite for Destruction… so many bangers!!!! Keep rocking and keep that beautiful smile 😊 on your face!!!!!
Good to have you back Aileen
"You Could be mine "from use your illusion is head& heart banging fun!💯😱🖤
As strange as it may be this song comforted me so much in an intense moment of stress and sadness, but it’s a fantastic piece, Aileen your reaction was wonderful and I’m so happy to see you so happy❤
SO SO SO Glad you're back!!!
Good to see you back with some videos reactions!!! 🖤🎵
I like my Gn'r fast and dangerous. and this is my number one Gn'r song. It was a BIG one when it came out. I think "Appetite for destruction" is still the best selling debut album of all. Great reaction.
This was the song that introduce Gun n Roses to the world. I had been a big fan ever since. 😊
Damn, I remember the first time I saw this video on MTV... When it was NEW... It's freaking great to see someone new find them new for the first time. 😁
This has been called the song that drove a stake into hair metal's heart. And God bless! We needed it! The whole G&R trip took a few wrong turns, but I prefer to remember this moment in time. Fun fact: Axl and Izzy are from Lafayette IN. I lived in Lafayette. I met people that went to school with Axl (and they couldn't stand him, lol). Appetite for Destruction is still I think, the top selling debut album ever. Great reaction!
missed you hope all is where it needs to be for you i missed why you took off but glad your back love your reactions
If you ever wanted to do a full album, song by song reaction, Appetite For Destruction (which begins with this ditty) is a great one. One of the best albums ever made.
It was definitely a game changer. It may have been one of the first albums to begin preparing ears for the 90's
This was my first GunsNRoses video for me. I became a fan instantly. ❤
This song and Sweet Child Of Mine are my favorites! Today you got the chance to react to this one ❤
Aileen, how is it possible not to have heard this song before? I'm not saying you're lying, I'm just wondering how it's possible. It's constantly on the radio and has been played at sporting events and been in movies and everywhere else for the last 35 plus years.
It's good to see you an your videos back on RUclips well mostly you.😂❤👍👋
I grew up with GnR....was in 7th grade when Appetite For Destruction came out. It still hits me hard when someone says "Watching Guns n Roses for the first time."
Those are some sick looking guitars you got there in the back
