This song is part of a trilogy, the others are "Estranged" and "Don't Cry"... You really sould check-out... And the guy with top hat is the legendary Slash, one of the best guitar players of our time... Congratulations for your channel and salutes from Brazil...
I never knew that the song was part of a trilogy. Is this the final part or if someone could let me know please. Love Slash guitar playing and solo's in this song.
Can you imagine a nine minute track with multiple guitar solos becoming a Top 10 hit all across the world, nowadays?! I remember when it came out - it was on the radio all the time, I even bought the single to play at home. When the song enters its coda, I still get goosebumps
I bought Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 the day they came out. Not the best band in the world, but GnR will always be my favorite band. Just something about them.
The crazier part is that 9 minutes was a really cut down version. There was a bootleg tape out in 88 or 89 that had them playing a 20+ minute version of it.
This is one of the first music videos I worked on in the art dept. Nigel Dick directed it and I was a huge fan of his work. Axel was dating the model in it Stephanie Seymour and she was so nice when we put her in the coffin and dressed it. We didn't see anyone else in the band until it came time to roll cameras. They were so huge at that point they avoided the crew through the whole shoot. Good times though got free tix to their next show in LA.
This song was my favourite 92/93 when it came out. In 1994 I fell into a terrible ptsd/depression, and at the time we were forced to keep a diary in college. In the November section of 1994 I wrote “so never mind the darkness you still can find a way, nothing lasts forever even cold November rain”. It turned out to be true…but I still have that diary and look at the page often 30 years on.
Axl Rose wrote the song over course of 8 years. It was worth the wait. This is a power ballad, so there are many heavy metal songs from them as you will find out. This was the 1st song of the 20th century, that hit 1 Billion streams online in later years. The video was also the most expensive video ever made at the time. So you are being introduced to one heck of a song for a 1st GNR song. LOTS of others. This was off their 3rd album (double album). I'd recommend their debut hit next "Welcome To the Jungle".
Without You Del's short story Without You is credited by hard rock band Guns N' Roses as the inspiration for the song November Rain and its music video. Most of the plot is told in the form of flashbacks. Mayne Mann, aged 28, is a top-selling rock musician. But the suicide of his girlfriend Elizabeth has left him depressive and questioning the meaning behind everything. Although Elizabeth had been the love of Mayne's life, his frequent infidelity had brought about the end of their relationship. The last straw was when after Mayne's final concert with his previous band, Elizabeth had walked in on a threesome between him and two groupies. In the aftermath, during one of their last dates, Elizabeth had told him, "I can't live with you and I can't live without you." Her words had inspired him to write the ballad Without You, which portrays his view on their breakup and has become a top hit. When his new band went on tour and performed in Elizabeth's hometown L.A., he had sent her backstage passes. When she did not show up, Mayne had been determined not to repeat his past mistake, had skipped the after party and gone straight to her home. As Mayne was on his way up to her apartment, Elizabeth had shot herself in the head, with Without You playing on an endless loop in the background. In a rush, Mayne had taken the revolver from her dead hand and tried to shoot himself, but there had been no more bullets left. Life in the fast lane has taken his toll on Mayne: he has hearing issues, is a heavy drinker and drug consumer and, presumably as a result of his girlfriend's suicide, on various kinds of medication. He avoids things that bring back memories of Elizabeth, such as the mansion in which they had spent most of their time, or radio stations that might play Without You. The story begins as Mayne, after a night of heavy drinking and drug consumption, awakes from a recurring nightmare in which he relives Elizabeth's suicide. Still hung over from the previous night, he starts the day with a beer and eventually spends the whole morning with alcohol, drugs and memories of Elizabeth. In a fit of rage he begins to smash the furniture in his apartment and even most of his collection of vintage guitars, suddenly seeing them as the gateway to his fame and his misery. He briefly considers shooting himself but then changes his mind and starts to play, first on his favorite and last remaining guitar, then on the piano. In the meantime, a burning cigarette which has fallen off the edge of a table has set the apartment on fire. Yet Mayne ignores it and continues to play until he dies in the flames.
The girl is Stefanie Seymour. Axl was dating her for a period of time. She was one of the supermodel. They were engaged at one point but separated shortly afterwards.
I've been watching your videos for a while now, but this reaction was the one that made me subscribe. I'm watching this on Sunday November 3rd. My Late wife's Birthday.. Ten years ago we lost her to Cancer. Of course I know this song and video. I saw it growing up as a kid. Later on it haunted me. Watching you watch this I lived the whole thing again. Meeting her, courting her. marrying her loving her for the not quite twelve years we had. Then the pain, the fear. her death. The grief and the loss. All of it relived in less then ten minutes. Ever since Jodi's passing, I could never cry for her without some music around. That grief, still so heavy, I can never release it without help. This is one of those songs that helps me do that and you just happened to post it so I saw it on her Birthday. I could remember, cry a little while and see all of it again, so vividly. I feel like it ought to be raining, but the sun's shining brightly here. It's life, it's death. We can't change it, all we can do is remember. It hurts, but that's because it was the real deal, the one, the only. And the strange thing is we both loved taking walks in the cold November rain. I'm walking for both of us now, and thanks for bringing it back for me today. My own little memorial to help me process once again what can never truly be processed. It hurts, but it helps. It lowers the pressure, lets some of it out. Why I appreciate the music so much. Great reaction.
If you like this you should watch also Guns N Roses Estranged. Its a a almost 10 minute ballad too. Or Coma with 10 minutes. In my opinion their best tracks.
In the late 1980s, Slash and Stephanie's paths crossed in the midst of the rock world’s chaos. Slash was shining as the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses, while Stephanie was at the top of the fashion world, making headlines with her turbulent relationship with Axl Rose. It all began during the filming of the November Rain music video. When Slash was performing his iconic solo scene in a desert-like setting, he caught a glimpse of Stephanie in her wedding dress. As he looked over at her with a warm smile in the wedding scene, an invisible connection formed between them, as if they had just truly discovered one another beyond the scene itself. Throughout the shoot, their conversations deepened. Slash's passion for music and Stephanie’s elegance created a hidden bond that Axl wasn’t aware of. Slash could see the vulnerability in Stephanie, a quiet sadness beneath her glamorous exterior. Stephanie, in turn, saw beyond Slash's rock-star persona and sensed a fragile spirit within him. Both were alone in their own worlds, but together, even if only briefly, the shadows seemed to lift. One evening after filming, they met at a quiet bar. As the November rain poured down the windows, they talked for hours about guitars, life, and memories. Slash played Stephanie a melody that had been haunting him, and they both knew they’d never forget this night. But they also understood that their special connection could never overshadow Stephanie’s commitment to Axl. In the days that followed, Slash and Stephanie remained as memories in each other’s lives. Slash wove the melody he’d played for her into one of his later songs. Stephanie, meanwhile, held on to the memory of Slash, carrying their brief, unforgettable moments in a secret corner of her heart. And every time the November rain fell, they both remembered that night-a fleeting but true friendship, hidden yet cherished.
This song illustrates why Slash is so iconic. Sure, there's a million players who can play faster, but find me one single guitarist who can write more memorable, melodic solos than Slash.
May I suggest you give David Gilmour of Pink Floyd a chance? To me the second Solo in Comfortly Numb from the 1994 Pulse concert is the or at least one of the greatest solos in history.
Even I understand what you (and all the other comments below) are trying to express I think it cannot be compared. I love Slash's solos, as well as David Gilmour's ones, also Gary Moore or also my favorite John Petrucci of Dream Theater. The problem is you cannot measure "who is better". Someone likes one style, someone else likes the other. And it is total nonsense to even "fight or argue" about this.
Quite possibly the best music video put together of it time. You listen and react so well another top class reaction to one of my fav songs from that era.
This song takes me back and tonight with a heavy heart it hits a bit different. I lost my cousin three weeks ago and I remember us at Nags Head beach in North Carolina listening to this song and the entire CD over and over the entire week. I miss you Terry and thank you for sharing your life with me and all the music you loved.
@@doorofnight87 Most (90%) of their songs are very high energy hard rock/heavy metal songs. If you want an example of a typical song (sound of theirs) check out "Welcome to the Jungle", "It's So Easy", "Reckless Life", "Mr. Brownstone", "Night Train", "Rocket Queen", "Out to Get Me", "My Michelle", "You're Crazy", "Paradise City".....WAY more songs that are not power ballads than than you may think.
The short story portrays a rock star struggling to come to terms with the loss of his girlfriend, who died by suicide (gunshot) after he repeatedly strayed from their relationship
If you want to go down the Guns n' Roses Rabbit hole . . . be prepared!! There are sooo many songs that will leave an impression on you . . . Welcome to the Jungle - Sweet Child of Mine - Civil War - Estranged - Paradise City - My Michelle - Don't Cry . . . . And here is a tidbit of info for you since you are a huge Queen fan . . Axl Rose joined Queen for a tribute to Freddie Mercury on April 20, 1992. Even though he was older and out of shape . . . his voice was still awesome!! BTW the guy with the puffy hair . . . is one of the greatest guitarists of our time . . . Great reaction . . . You nailed it . . . NEXT UP - Styx
I saw Slash live earlier this year with Myles Kennedy and the conspirators, such a great guitarist and still such a cool dude, and by all accounts a real nice guy as well, one of my favourite guitarists.
Good reaction, Stacey. But just to explain the video, it was actually the 2nd part of a 3-part song/video series by GnR. Anyway, the story is, that Axl Rose's character had a fiancè, but he cheated on her and she ended up taking her own life with a gun. The entire wedding scene is him dreaming of himself and his then-alive fiancè actually getting married. But that wedding ceremony never actually took place. What actually took place at the church was her funeral rites. Also regarding the fiancè's casket, that mirror in there is next to her face since she took her own life. That practice (with the mirror in the casket) is an old Catholic custom, if I'm not mistaken. I'm Catholic, but I only vaguely recall that, so I'm not 100% certain. Also, hinted at in the music video is the fact that friends are there for you during the happy times, as symbolized by the packed wedding and wedding reception. But 'friends' are not there for you during the hard times, as symbolized by the sparsely-attended funeral service.
@NostalgicMem0ries For 3&1/2 - 4 hour concerts, only Axel used all of his varied vocal styles with sustained notes up to 24 seconds, & recorded in studio & live to prove it! ( '86 to 2016;)
@@maggedo-x1s i dont doubt his vocal power and uniqueness, especially prime years of him, but this vocal styles thing is just funny sounding, who came up with only 8 ? :D
I'd have agreed had it not been for November Rain's coda, which is among the finest moments in all of rock. But yes, 'Estranged' is certainly criminally overlooked.
Axle Rose is without a doubt one of the most Iconic frontmen in Rock history, he's not the easiest guy to get along with " leading to a 20 year break up of Guns N Roses", they reunited about 3 years ago. and Slash Is a guitar God He in the time after the break up was a part of Velvet Revolver Slash's Snakepit, and a self titled group Slash other members of the bend in this song are Izzy Stradlin "rhythm guitar Matt Sorum drums and Duff McKagen Bass
I'm sure others have clarified. When she's getting in the car after the wedding, she doesn't look happy. This song is about love with someone that is depressed. When she's in the casket, notice there's a mirror that's hiding the left side of her face. I always thought that was indicating she shot herself. Such a great, moving song.
Number 1 hit video, in MTV, in 1991/1992 Incredible song! Incredible band! That church-desert-outtake video guitar solo by Slash ... thrilling ...rock'n'roll, Stacey 👩✌
In the story, he cheated on her repeatedly and tried to make amends but she's broken and she shoots herself in front of him. In the video, the wedding is a dream and only the funeral is real. He wakes up at the end because the dream turned into reality.
@@BobDobson-uq1jp You can check out the short story written by Del James called 'Without You'. Dont Cry, November Rain, and Estranged are a trilogy of songs based on this story.
The man in the top hat is Slash and you were laughing about the church scene. When GNR won their first music award the whole band showed up drunk (at least) and Slash did not disappoint (nor the rest for that matter) to make quite a spectacle when accepting their award.
The lead singer is Axle Rose. The dude in the tophat with cigg and the pooffy hair is Slash, the lead guitarist. He is one of my favorite guitarists! I HIGHLY suggest and request Knockin On Heaven's Door.
I know how much you love Queen, Axle Rose has been singing with them on tour for a while now. A small anecdote, i was in LA and was taken to The Rainbow on Sunset, my friend had been a patron for decades, even had his own named seat. This was the original Hard Rock Cafe, with all the memoribilla on the walls. Still frequented by many stars. My first visit I didnt know actually anyone in Guns and Roses other then Axel Rose, and Slash (. minus the hat) came to say hi to my friend, I thought he was a waiter and ordered a cocal cola from him, to much amusement. Another of your favourites also frequented The Rainbow, John Entwistle, I dont think many even new WHO he was, he was looking rather old and ill , he was very hospitable and my wife and I sat down with him as I explained to her WHO he was, she is Russian and much younger, and even after explanation was non the wiser. Apparently he owned a castle somewhere outside LA, unfortunately died not long after
@@paulmargett9360 Your right he didnt tour , first it was a Tribute concert to Freddy, he sang Bohemian Rhapsody, with Elton John., but that was way back in 1992. I know Adam lambart has toured now for many years with Queen, Ive seen them, now I cant be 100% sure but I thought Axel had stood in for Adam for some reason, maybe he was sick or it could have been a charity event. But I stand corrected
This is the first and third part of the story... Second part is in "Don't Cry" and the last part is in "Estranged". The "wife" in this video was the real life girl friend of the lead singer at the time... This song was the baby of the vocalist Axl Rose. He worked on this song for about a decade before it was ready to be put on an album... It is truly a masterpiece.
Back to the 90's, back to the 80's.... With no shadow of doubt, the best time ever for real music, for real musicians.... And never, ever could be duplicated... I am such a lucky person to have listen to such good music. Love you @StaceyRPG
the trilogy is "don't cry, november rain and estranged" the 3 were written in the 80s and only recorded for the albums "use your illusion 1 & 2" in 90' based on the horror tale "whitout you" in the language of fear by Del James
Fun Fact: You will never, EVER be cooler than Slash standing outside of a church in the middle of the desert playing a guitar solo… Also, this song is a masterpiece and it absolutely holds up today. Songwriting, composition, performance and "November Rain" is a part of a trilogy of videos, combined with "Don't Cry" and "Estranged". They're one of the most expensive music videos ever made in history.
i also love all that but richie sambora on top of mountains for guitar solo in bed of roses is also pretty impressive i'd say given the fact it was about the same time.
Maybe it is a generational thing, but I will take your Slash (and Richie) cool moments and raise you a Gilmour shirtless in a Roman amphitheater in Pompeii, if for no other reason than he wasn't really trying to be 'cool', just doing his thing during a different time at a different place, while Slash and the directer and helicopter clearly were going for a "moment".
I've heard people say Slash is overrated as a guitarist because his playing isn't very complex or precise. I'm not a musician, so I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that when he plays I feel an emotional force behind the riffs. To me, that ability alone sets him apart.
As a kid driving around with my dad on his every other weekend visitations, I got an amazing musical potluck of great bands, and the Beatles were his favorite. So by HS of the late 80's, I was a fan as well, and then G n R came on the scene, and changed my fandom. I can still remember the 1st time I heard "Paradise City", where I was, what I was doing, etc. I was a HUGE fan, especially for their debut album "Appetite for Destruction", and their follow up LP's led to what you have here. I wasn't the biggest fan of where they went from that album, but I can't deny a song and video like this, truly epic at the time.
Yes! A musical Masterpiece. Guns N Roses, never cease to amaze. DONT CRY, PARADISE CITY, PATIENCE, WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, LIVE AND LET DIE, SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL, and KNOCKING ON HEAVENS DOOR. Are some of thier best songs. PRINCE : PURPLE RAIN , when you get a chance. You’re awesome 😎 Keep it up 👍
The most powerful song G&R has ever done! Your thumbnail made me realize that this would be the perfect reaction video!❤ You did a wonderful job on this one Beautiful!❤
The guitarists was actually born in the uk 🇬🇧 so he is classes himself as British even though he's lived in America since 1971 he didn't get citizenship till 1996 in America
Stacey your reaction is perfect for this song since you are new to Guns and Roses. My wife, now 68 is a big fan of them. So as every time she hear them she goes crazy. They have done many really good songs. Please go on with your reactions. Love from Sweden.❤️🇸🇪
I can imagine the conversation. Axl: "Hey Slash, have you got your solo ready for my song November Rain yet?" Slash: "Well actually I have done 3....." Axl: " That's it I QUIT...you are just a bunch of junkies !!! " Slash: "Ah fuck...again?" Duff: "See you tomorrow Axl" Matt : "Anyone seen Izzy?" Gilby: "Am I a joke to you!?" Dizzy: "someone looking for me?" Axl yelling as he jumps in his limo and screeches away "A bunch of juuunnkies!!!!" Slash: "Anyone got any Brownstone? "
Thank you Stacey for reacting to this, i grew up from my teens listening to this and still do to this day. This is in my top 5 of GnR songs. You're gonna love more from them ♥️
I was like 12 or 13 when I first heard that song and saw that legendary MV. I remember a cousin of mine, who was already in high school, pointing at the TV and telling me: THAT is rock'n'roll. Thus began my passion for that register. With the Guns N' Roses. More specifically with the LAST part of November Rain. Almost thirty years later, I hear it, and it's still, to me, one of the best things that ever happened to the 90's. Oh, and who cares HOW she dies? What matters is that their story was doomed. Sure, narratively, it's a little bit abrupt, but visually, it works.
I love gun & rose 🌹 but that first guitar solo wow,it's the second and only guitar solo that gave me goosebumps 😍 love it and they have a lot of good songs
Fun fact: You will *never* be cooler than Slash smoking a cigarette and playing guitar while standing outside of a church in the middle of the desert. The “top hat guy” is Slash, and yes he’s everyone’s favorite GnR member lol. 🤘
Keep in mind of how talented Axl Rose is. He composed this song, the piano and the strings. It is an Epic song. In the story the video is based on she kills herself because he cheated on her and she couldn't move passed it. That's why the mirrored casket. Axl has a 5 octive range. He's just AMAZING ❤
One of the best solos ever made, always great to see someone new to Guns experience it for the first time. Other great songs that aren’t too mainstream: Estranged Civil War Out Ta Get Me Nightrain Mr Brownstone My Michelle
Stacey, you brought your A-game on this one. Probably the best breakdown & commentary I’ve heard on this song. You mentioned a few things I’d not observed before. Excellent reaction to one of the best rock ballads ever. 🔥🤘😎🔥
There’s really no way to duplicate what this band can do. This is one of the greatest songs ever written. Check out Sweet Child O Mine for another epic song and one of the greatest guitar solos you’ll ever hear. Slash is a legend
The last 3rd of the song is probably the best representation of what you'll be getting with Guns N' Roses' sound. Great content as always, Stacey !!!! (Peep "Sweet Child of Mine" and "Welcome to the Jungle" for GnR's best work.)
It's the only song live where the more clutter the better, clutter being more back ups an orchestra, violins , flutes and everything. It's exceptional, one of a kind, and slash is the coolest human of all time
if you look up Rock n Roll in the dictionary you see a picture of Slash wailing on the guitar with the wind in his hair standing in front of a church...EPIC...GnR Use your Illusion 1 & 2 and Metallica the Black album were the first CD's I ever bought when I was 10 years old...I'll never forget it...Music just ain't the same anymore...So excited for you to see more of them
This song has two special memories for me. One good and one bad.. The first was at a concert in 1992 with Guns n' Roses where I met a nice girl who sat on my shoulders at the front of the audience.. We had a relationship in our teenage years after that. The bad memory was when this song was played at a funeral.. The song is so long, so people started screwing up after the interlude when the up tempo came.
Hey Stacey! “November Rain” by Guns N' Roses is a great choice! I have to admit that Axl can be a bit controversial at times, but they produced some amazing records throughout their career. This song is from the album "Use Your Illusion I," which was written by Axl Rose. It’s one of their most iconic tracks, known for its emotional depth and grand production. I also love their first album, "Appetite for Destruction." It's a classic, and Slash’s guitar playing is always incredible, just like in this song from 1992. The music video, which feels almost like a short film, was directed by Andy Morahan and features Axl Rose's then-girlfriend, Stephanie Seymour. Thanks again for another great reaction! I can’t wait for the next surprise! Keep it up!
Hey Stacey. The funny guy in the top hat is Slash. He was the biggest hair band rocker of the early nineties. Guns N Roses fan or not, EVERYONE knew Slash. He was the man. Kids dressed up as Slash for halloween. Slash is almost synonymous with the Hair Band genre of a bygone era.
Saw these Live In Paris on The Use Your Illusions tour . Apart from Pink Floyds two concerts this was one on the best nights of my life , Slash even did a short riff from Pink Floyd amazing concert
There's a lot I'd like to tell you about exactly the same thing as the heyday of Guns n' Roses in my most sensitive teens, and it's a historic rock band that's in line with the metalica that appeared in previous videos by Ha...stacey. Of course, both bands are inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Today's song is a rare masterpiece in the history of rock, which has further elevated the status and honor of Guns n' Roses. And you said you don't like the guitar style, but I think it's enough for women to see it. But for most guys who love rock around the world, Slash is a hero himself and a living legend.
November Rain… the greatest song, total package considered, of the 80’s. Great lyrics, not one not two but three Slash solos, awesome video… and Stephanie Seymour. Literally the best.
Welcome to Guns N* Roses.. this song has stod the test of time... It's one of the most played songs on MTV....👍 And Slash's guitar-solo, is one of the world's best guitar-solos of all time 👍 November Rain , has reached, over 1 billion views on RUclips 👍 The guy, with the Top-hat is , Slash, the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses
My thoughts on this masterpiece song is that it tells the story of falling in love and the eventual ending of that once beautiful love. It speaks to me that way as I was married to what I thought was my soulmate and the most beautiful woman in the world on a bright and sunny November day …. We had my storybook life of a marriage filled with love , happiness and laughter as we brought our two children into the world together. But like this song says ,” Nothing last forever “ and after ten years our love “ died” and we were divorced on a cool , cloudy and rainy November day that left me in tears as I walked out of the courthouse in that cold November Rain as my world as I knew it was over then. So in this song / video the sunny wedding day is a metaphor for the couple falling in love and being in love … while then the darkness comes over and the cold November Rain starts to fall and her death is really just a metaphor for their relationship and love dying and the funeral is showing him now having to go on with his life alone. I feel this song could have been written about my life and how it happened…. “ nothing last forever, even a cold November Rain” 🌧️ ☔️❤️💖❤️🩹💔💙🖤😢
This song is part of a trilogy, the others are "Estranged" and "Don't Cry"...
You really sould check-out...
And the guy with top hat is the legendary Slash, one of the best guitar players of our time...
Congratulations for your channel and salutes from Brazil...
somebody always points this out lol. good info though.
should check out his album "orgy of the damned" it's more of a tribute to the music that inspired him, in collaboration with some amazing artists.
I never knew that the song was part of a trilogy. Is this the final part or if someone could let me know please. Love Slash guitar playing and solo's in this song.
Estranged may be my favorite G'n'R song.
@@pandorasbox66 Don't Cry (1991), November Rain (1992) and Estranged (1993).
When you said “Another guitar solo?!” I’m sitting here thinking, wait for it! Solo number three coming up.
Hahaha me too😅
Same lol
i'd argue it's still the first one... big number two coming up 🙂
Can you imagine a nine minute track with multiple guitar solos becoming a Top 10 hit all across the world, nowadays?! I remember when it came out - it was on the radio all the time, I even bought the single to play at home. When the song enters its coda, I still get goosebumps
The version that got all the radio play was a truncated version.
I bought Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 the day they came out. Not the best band in the world, but GnR will always be my favorite band. Just something about them.
The crazier part is that 9 minutes was a really cut down version. There was a bootleg tape out in 88 or 89 that had them playing a 20+ minute version of it.
This is one of the first music videos I worked on in the art dept. Nigel Dick directed it and I was a huge fan of his work. Axel was dating the model in it Stephanie Seymour and she was so nice when we put her in the coffin and dressed it. We didn't see anyone else in the band until it came time to roll cameras. They were so huge at that point they avoided the crew through the whole shoot. Good times though got free tix to their next show in LA.
Cool. Must be nice to be part of this masterpiece.
Stephanie Seymour. And believe me, I wanna see more. Grrrr!
Nice to know man!
Blah blah blah...
Amazing song from an amazing band! Slash is one of the most iconic guitarists of all time. Try 'Sweet Child O mine' or 'Paradise City' next!
This song was my favourite 92/93 when it came out. In 1994 I fell into a terrible ptsd/depression, and at the time we were forced to keep a diary in college. In the November section of 1994 I wrote “so never mind the darkness you still can find a way, nothing lasts forever even cold November rain”. It turned out to be true…but I still have that diary and look at the page often 30 years on.
Axl Rose wrote the song over course of 8 years. It was worth the wait. This is a power ballad, so there are many heavy metal songs from them as you will find out. This was the 1st song of the 20th century, that hit 1 Billion streams online in later years. The video was also the most expensive video ever made at the time. So you are being introduced to one heck of a song for a 1st GNR song. LOTS of others. This was off their 3rd album (double album). I'd recommend their debut hit next "Welcome To the Jungle".
That song was played everywhere when it first came out. Jungle will be an anthem for the 80s
One of the best endings to any rock song youll ever hear.
No doubt
Slash is Slash. Im italian I seen in Milan in concert long time ago.
The Poofy haired guy is Slash an Amazing Guitar Player.
What i could never figure out is where did everyone park when slash came outside for his guitar solo😂
@@louofm1 He is a interdimensional traveller 😋
He's a legend, one of the best.
He is a legend.. but that is pretty funny calling him the Poofy haired guy…. This is probably the best GNR song they made
@@C-H1 Stacey noticed the top hat, though 🙂and yes - legend
Slash with the greatest guitar solos on earth about to bless your ears...Axel has such unique amazing vocal capabilities.
Without You
Del's short story Without You is credited by hard rock band Guns N' Roses as the inspiration for the song November Rain and its music video.
Most of the plot is told in the form of flashbacks. Mayne Mann, aged 28, is a top-selling rock musician. But the suicide of his girlfriend Elizabeth has left him depressive and questioning the meaning behind everything.
Although Elizabeth had been the love of Mayne's life, his frequent infidelity had brought about the end of their relationship. The last straw was when after Mayne's final concert with his previous band, Elizabeth had walked in on a threesome between him and two groupies. In the aftermath, during one of their last dates, Elizabeth had told him, "I can't live with you and I can't live without you." Her words had inspired him to write the ballad Without You, which portrays his view on their breakup and has become a top hit. When his new band went on tour and performed in Elizabeth's hometown L.A., he had sent her backstage passes. When she did not show up, Mayne had been determined not to repeat his past mistake, had skipped the after party and gone straight to her home. As Mayne was on his way up to her apartment, Elizabeth had shot herself in the head, with Without You playing on an endless loop in the background. In a rush, Mayne had taken the revolver from her dead hand and tried to shoot himself, but there had been no more bullets left.
Life in the fast lane has taken his toll on Mayne: he has hearing issues, is a heavy drinker and drug consumer and, presumably as a result of his girlfriend's suicide, on various kinds of medication. He avoids things that bring back memories of Elizabeth, such as the mansion in which they had spent most of their time, or radio stations that might play Without You.
The story begins as Mayne, after a night of heavy drinking and drug consumption, awakes from a recurring nightmare in which he relives Elizabeth's suicide. Still hung over from the previous night, he starts the day with a beer and eventually spends the whole morning with alcohol, drugs and memories of Elizabeth. In a fit of rage he begins to smash the furniture in his apartment and even most of his collection of vintage guitars, suddenly seeing them as the gateway to his fame and his misery. He briefly considers shooting himself but then changes his mind and starts to play, first on his favorite and last remaining guitar, then on the piano. In the meantime, a burning cigarette which has fallen off the edge of a table has set the apartment on fire. Yet Mayne ignores it and continues to play until he dies in the flames.
“Welcome to the Jungle, Patience & Paradise City” are my favorites
Sweet Child Of Mine and You could be mine are great too
never sleep on Civil War
The girl is Stefanie Seymour. Axl was dating her for a period of time. She was one of the supermodel. They were engaged at one point but separated shortly afterwards.
I've been watching your videos for a while now, but this reaction was the one that made me subscribe. I'm watching this on Sunday November 3rd. My Late wife's Birthday.. Ten years ago we lost her to Cancer. Of course I know this song and video. I saw it growing up as a kid. Later on it haunted me. Watching you watch this I lived the whole thing again. Meeting her, courting her. marrying her loving her for the not quite twelve years we had. Then the pain, the fear. her death. The grief and the loss. All of it relived in less then ten minutes. Ever since Jodi's passing, I could never cry for her without some music around. That grief, still so heavy, I can never release it without help. This is one of those songs that helps me do that and you just happened to post it so I saw it on her Birthday. I could remember, cry a little while and see all of it again, so vividly. I feel like it ought to be raining, but the sun's shining brightly here. It's life, it's death. We can't change it, all we can do is remember. It hurts, but that's because it was the real deal, the one, the only. And the strange thing is we both loved taking walks in the cold November rain. I'm walking for both of us now, and thanks for bringing it back for me today. My own little memorial to help me process once again what can never truly be processed. It hurts, but it helps. It lowers the pressure, lets some of it out. Why I appreciate the music so much. Great reaction.
If you like this you should watch also Guns N Roses Estranged. Its a a almost 10 minute ballad too. Or Coma with 10 minutes. In my opinion their best tracks.
In the late 1980s, Slash and Stephanie's paths crossed in the midst of the rock world’s chaos. Slash was shining as the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses, while Stephanie was at the top of the fashion world, making headlines with her turbulent relationship with Axl Rose.
It all began during the filming of the November Rain music video. When Slash was performing his iconic solo scene in a desert-like setting, he caught a glimpse of Stephanie in her wedding dress. As he looked over at her with a warm smile in the wedding scene, an invisible connection formed between them, as if they had just truly discovered one another beyond the scene itself.
Throughout the shoot, their conversations deepened. Slash's passion for music and Stephanie’s elegance created a hidden bond that Axl wasn’t aware of. Slash could see the vulnerability in Stephanie, a quiet sadness beneath her glamorous exterior. Stephanie, in turn, saw beyond Slash's rock-star persona and sensed a fragile spirit within him. Both were alone in their own worlds, but together, even if only briefly, the shadows seemed to lift.
One evening after filming, they met at a quiet bar. As the November rain poured down the windows, they talked for hours about guitars, life, and memories. Slash played Stephanie a melody that had been haunting him, and they both knew they’d never forget this night. But they also understood that their special connection could never overshadow Stephanie’s commitment to Axl.
In the days that followed, Slash and Stephanie remained as memories in each other’s lives. Slash wove the melody he’d played for her into one of his later songs. Stephanie, meanwhile, held on to the memory of Slash, carrying their brief, unforgettable moments in a secret corner of her heart.
And every time the November rain fell, they both remembered that night-a fleeting but true friendship, hidden yet cherished.
"Welcome to the jungle" will blow you over for days. Masterpiece
This song illustrates why Slash is so iconic.
Sure, there's a million players who can play faster, but find me one single guitarist who can write more memorable, melodic solos than Slash.
May I suggest you give David Gilmour of Pink Floyd a chance? To me the second Solo in Comfortly Numb from the 1994 Pulse concert is the or at least one of the greatest solos in history.
Gary More is one.
Even I understand what you (and all the other comments below) are trying to express I think it cannot be compared. I love Slash's solos, as well as David Gilmour's ones, also Gary Moore or also my favorite John Petrucci of Dream Theater.
The problem is you cannot measure "who is better". Someone likes one style, someone else likes the other. And it is total nonsense to even "fight or argue" about this.
@@martinvaclavik1113 That is a very good point. I might add i would never dare to fight or argue about this. I simply wanted to make a suggestion.
Quite possibly the best music video put together of it time. You listen and react so well another top class reaction to one of my fav songs from that era.
This song takes me back and tonight with a heavy heart it hits a bit different. I lost my cousin three weeks ago and I remember us at Nags Head beach in North Carolina listening to this song and the entire CD over and over the entire week. I miss you Terry and thank you for sharing your life with me and all the music you loved.
Guns N Roses is Classic and Awesome.
Love Guns N' Roses, they are a great power ballad band, with great vocals and instrumentations. Really enjoyed your reaction and engagement!
They are far!!! From a Power Ballad!
@@slash6970 That is always what I've had them in my head as. What would you describe their style as?
@@doorofnight87 Most (90%) of their songs are very high energy hard rock/heavy metal songs. If you want an example of a typical song (sound of theirs) check out "Welcome to the Jungle", "It's So Easy", "Reckless Life", "Mr. Brownstone", "Night Train", "Rocket Queen", "Out to Get Me", "My Michelle", "You're Crazy", "Paradise City".....WAY more songs that are not power ballads than than you may think.
The song, which was described by the singer Axl Rose, "...is a song about not wanting to be in a state of having to deal with unrequited loved".
Stacey gets even more prettier on every upload her smile does it for me have a lovely chilled relaxed weekend
The short story portrays a rock star struggling to come to terms with the loss of his girlfriend, who died by suicide (gunshot) after he repeatedly strayed from their relationship
If you want to go down the Guns n' Roses Rabbit hole . . . be prepared!! There are sooo many songs that will leave an impression on you . . . Welcome to the Jungle - Sweet Child of Mine - Civil War - Estranged - Paradise City - My Michelle - Don't Cry . . . . And here is a tidbit of info for you since you are a huge Queen fan . . Axl Rose joined Queen for a tribute to Freddie Mercury on April 20, 1992. Even though he was older and out of shape . . . his voice was still awesome!! BTW the guy with the puffy hair . . . is one of the greatest guitarists of our time . . . Great reaction . . . You nailed it . . . NEXT UP - Styx
Axl was not out of shape in 92
I saw Slash live earlier this year with Myles Kennedy and the conspirators, such a great guitarist and still such a cool dude, and by all accounts a real nice guy as well, one of my favourite guitarists.
Good reaction, Stacey. But just to explain the video, it was actually the 2nd part of a 3-part song/video series by GnR. Anyway, the story is, that Axl Rose's character had a fiancè, but he cheated on her and she ended up taking her own life with a gun. The entire wedding scene is him dreaming of himself and his then-alive fiancè actually getting married. But that wedding ceremony never actually took place. What actually took place at the church was her funeral rites.
Also regarding the fiancè's casket, that mirror in there is next to her face since she took her own life. That practice (with the mirror in the casket) is an old Catholic custom, if I'm not mistaken. I'm Catholic, but I only vaguely recall that, so I'm not 100% certain. Also, hinted at in the music video is the fact that friends are there for you during the happy times, as symbolized by the packed wedding and wedding reception. But 'friends' are not there for you during the hard times, as symbolized by the sparsely-attended funeral service.
if this song blew your mind... wait till you hear “estranged”.
one of the best compositions in history.
and the best GNR song ever, according to me.
Estranged has always been my favorite!
The final guitar solo of this song has been my ringtone for the last 20 years!!!
I’m not even a big Guns N Roses fan but this song and video is flat out epic
A masterpiece !
the song is taken from a play where the bride takes her own life after the wedding
One of my top 10 songs of all time of any genre, and Slash is the best guitarrist along with David Gilmour and Zack Wilde
I'm looking forward to "Welcome to the Jungle." I completely understand why you would start with November Rain this month.
Slash growled: "Axel has 8 vocal styles!"
So enjoy 'em all with G'N'R's many unique songs! 🤘🥀
in reality he has 5 maybe at best 6 octaves range, dimash in one and only with 8
@NostalgicMem0ries "Vocal styles" aren't only octaves: as in his raspys, growly, whiney, drawly, whispery & cackley voices with variable octaves.
@@maggedo-x1s thats very subjective stuff, octaves are universal. you can make 10 diferent raspy styles from soft to hardcore etc. :)
@NostalgicMem0ries For 3&1/2 - 4 hour concerts, only Axel used all of his varied vocal styles with sustained notes up to 24 seconds, & recorded in studio & live to prove it! ( '86 to 2016;)
@@maggedo-x1s i dont doubt his vocal power and uniqueness, especially prime years of him, but this vocal styles thing is just funny sounding, who came up with only 8 ? :D
As great as this song is, for me it's sister song "estranged" is even better and often overlooked.
Definetely better! But to me, still a little behind Civil War
Estranged is my favorite GnR song.
I'd have agreed had it not been for November Rain's coda, which is among the finest moments in all of rock. But yes, 'Estranged' is certainly criminally overlooked.
"This I Love"
from Chinese Democracy album.
@@fiditenemini2452 A cracking song , but from that album, I'd have to go with "There Was A Time" or even "Sorry"
When the groom lifted the bride's veil, I saw your face. Magic of this wonderful music.
Really, we needed someone who truly feels the music! Thank you.
in the story the bride shot herself so that’s why it’s a partial open casket
Axle Rose is without a doubt one of the most Iconic frontmen in Rock history, he's not the easiest guy to get along with " leading to a 20 year break up of Guns N Roses", they reunited about 3 years ago. and Slash Is a guitar God He in the time after the break up was a part of Velvet Revolver Slash's Snakepit, and a self titled group Slash other members of the bend in this song are Izzy Stradlin "rhythm guitar Matt Sorum drums and Duff McKagen Bass
I'm sure others have clarified. When she's getting in the car after the wedding, she doesn't look happy. This song is about love with someone that is depressed. When she's in the casket, notice there's a mirror that's hiding the left side of her face. I always thought that was indicating she shot herself. Such a great, moving song.
Also, Axl on the Board walk walks past a Gn Shop
Number 1 hit video, in MTV, in 1991/1992
Incredible song!
Incredible band!
That church-desert-outtake video guitar solo by Slash ... thrilling ...rock'n'roll, Stacey 👩✌
Now it's time for *Guns N' Roses - Estranged* 👍👍👏👏✌✌
In the story, he cheated on her repeatedly and tried to make amends but she's broken and she shoots herself in front of him. In the video, the wedding is a dream and only the funeral is real. He wakes up at the end because the dream turned into reality.
Wait what? This is true?
@@BobDobson-uq1jp You can check out the short story written by Del James called 'Without You'. Dont Cry, November Rain, and Estranged are a trilogy of songs based on this story.
@@BobDobson-uq1jpYeah thats base on the true story of axel life
@@drl2fine Ugh...that's a lot to carry. Thanks for the info, makes more sense now. I gotta think about this.
Sweet Child of Mine, Paradise City, Welcome to the Jungle, etc - you must have heard Axl Rose before.
The man in the top hat is Slash and you were laughing about the church scene. When GNR won their first music award the whole band showed up drunk (at least) and Slash did not disappoint (nor the rest for that matter) to make quite a spectacle when accepting their award.
I remember they kept dropping F bombs & then saying "Oh $hit. Sorry."
Didn’t even realize you hadn’t gone down the Guns n Roses rabbit hole yet. You won’t regret it
The lead singer is Axle Rose. The dude in the tophat with cigg and the pooffy hair is Slash, the lead guitarist. He is one of my favorite guitarists! I HIGHLY suggest and request Knockin On Heaven's Door.
Civil War is very good also !!
@YouriSouline what we've got here is a failure to communicate!
I know how much you love Queen, Axle Rose has been singing with them on tour for a while now. A small anecdote, i was in LA and was taken to The Rainbow on Sunset, my friend had been a patron for decades, even had his own named seat. This was the original Hard Rock Cafe, with all the memoribilla on the walls. Still frequented by many stars. My first visit I didnt know actually anyone in Guns and Roses other then Axel Rose, and Slash (. minus the hat) came to say hi to my friend, I thought he was a waiter and ordered a cocal cola from him, to much amusement.
Another of your favourites also frequented The Rainbow, John Entwistle, I dont think many even new WHO he was, he was looking rather old and ill , he was very hospitable and my wife and I sat down with him as I explained to her WHO he was, she is Russian and much younger, and even after explanation was non the wiser. Apparently he owned a castle somewhere outside LA, unfortunately died not long after
@gordonyoung1970 I don't know where you've seen Axl Rose touring with Queen because it hasn't happened. Adam Lambert has though 😊
@@paulmargett9360 Your right he didnt tour , first it was a Tribute concert to Freddy, he sang Bohemian Rhapsody, with Elton John., but that was way back in 1992. I know Adam lambart has toured now for many years with Queen, Ive seen them, now I cant be 100% sure but I thought Axel had stood in for Adam for some reason, maybe he was sick or it could have been a charity event. But I stand corrected
This is the first and third part of the story... Second part is in "Don't Cry" and the last part is in "Estranged".
The "wife" in this video was the real life girl friend of the lead singer at the time...
This song was the baby of the vocalist Axl Rose. He worked on this song for about a decade before it was ready to be put on an album... It is truly a masterpiece.
Back to the 90's, back to the 80's.... With no shadow of doubt, the best time ever for real music, for real musicians.... And never, ever could be duplicated... I am such a lucky person to have listen to such good music. Love you @StaceyRPG
Try growing up in the 70's!😂😅
You know Led Zeppelin, Bowie and Pink Floyd for example? A better time to be alive!❤
@@williambenner701 I grew up in the 70's, and PF is my fav band.
This is Guns N' Roses' best ballad.
the trilogy is "don't cry, november rain and estranged" the 3 were written in the 80s and only recorded for the albums "use your illusion 1 & 2" in 90' based on the horror tale "whitout you" in the language of fear by Del James
this was one of the few songs i have actually wept to. the other ones were ‘Don’t follow’ by AiC and ‘Hurt’ by NiN.
really powerful song, love it
one of my favorites of theirs, and yes Slash is a Legend!
Fun Fact: You will never, EVER be cooler than Slash standing outside of a church in the middle of the desert playing a guitar solo…
Also, this song is a masterpiece and it absolutely holds up today. Songwriting, composition, performance and "November Rain" is a part of a trilogy of videos, combined with "Don't Cry" and "Estranged". They're one of the most expensive music videos ever made in history.
i also love all that but richie sambora on top of mountains for guitar solo in bed of roses is also pretty impressive i'd say given the fact it was about the same time.
Maybe it is a generational thing, but I will take your Slash (and Richie) cool moments and raise you a Gilmour shirtless in a Roman amphitheater in Pompeii, if for no other reason than he wasn't really trying to be 'cool', just doing his thing during a different time at a different place, while Slash and the directer and helicopter clearly were going for a "moment".
@@mattcarson8616dead on comment, mate!
Yea and where the heck did everyone at the wedding park their cars, when he came outside for the solo 😂
Stacey and Stephanie Seymour look like sisters.
Reckon Stacey would look as good in that dress!
I've heard people say Slash is overrated as a guitarist because his playing isn't very complex or precise. I'm not a musician, so I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that when he plays I feel an emotional force behind the riffs. To me, that ability alone sets him apart.
As a kid driving around with my dad on his every other weekend visitations, I got an amazing musical potluck of great bands, and the Beatles were his favorite. So by HS of the late 80's, I was a fan as well, and then G n R came on the scene, and changed my fandom. I can still remember the 1st time I heard "Paradise City", where I was, what I was doing, etc. I was a HUGE fan, especially for their debut album "Appetite for Destruction", and their follow up LP's led to what you have here. I wasn't the biggest fan of where they went from that album, but I can't deny a song and video like this, truly epic at the time.
Yes! A musical Masterpiece.
Guns N Roses, never cease to amaze.
DONT CRY, PARADISE CITY, PATIENCE, WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, LIVE AND LET DIE, SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL, and KNOCKING ON HEAVENS DOOR. Are some of thier best songs.
PRINCE : PURPLE RAIN , when you get a chance.
You’re awesome 😎
Keep it up 👍
The most powerful song G&R has ever done! Your thumbnail made me realize that this would be the perfect reaction video!❤
You did a wonderful job on this one Beautiful!❤
The guitarists was actually born in the uk 🇬🇧 so he is classes himself as British even though he's lived in America since 1971 he didn't get citizenship till 1996 in America
Stacey your reaction is perfect for this song since you are new to Guns and Roses. My wife, now 68 is a big fan of them. So as every time she hear them she goes crazy. They have done many really good songs.
Please go on with your reactions.
Love from Sweden.❤️🇸🇪
True Art... Nothing else!
The guy with the top hat is one of the worlds most famous guitarists from the UK called SLASH. Lead guitarist for Guns n Roses
Over the years, you realize that Guns N' Roses is really just what happens in between Slash's epic solos
Well that is bullshit…
LMAO....Exactly what you said my friend!! lol
I can imagine the conversation. Axl: "Hey Slash, have you got your solo ready for my song November Rain yet?"
Slash: "Well actually I have done 3....."
Axl: " That's it I QUIT...you are just a bunch of junkies !!! "
Slash: "Ah fuck...again?"
Duff: "See you tomorrow Axl"
Matt : "Anyone seen Izzy?"
Gilby: "Am I a joke to you!?"
Dizzy: "someone looking for me?"
Axl yelling as he jumps in his limo and screeches away "A bunch of juuunnkies!!!!"
Slash: "Anyone got any Brownstone? "
You’re an idiot
@jarnomuona2447 id have to agree. This is probably as epic a solo as you'll get from Slash in general
Thank you Stacey for reacting to this, i grew up from my teens listening to this and still do to this day. This is in my top 5 of GnR songs. You're gonna love more from them ♥️
I was like 12 or 13 when I first heard that song and saw that legendary MV. I remember a cousin of mine, who was already in high school, pointing at the TV and telling me: THAT is rock'n'roll. Thus began my passion for that register. With the Guns N' Roses. More specifically with the LAST part of November Rain. Almost thirty years later, I hear it, and it's still, to me, one of the best things that ever happened to the 90's.
Oh, and who cares HOW she dies? What matters is that their story was doomed. Sure, narratively, it's a little bit abrupt, but visually, it works.
The correct proportions of rock, 80's cheese, and solid songwriting.
I love gun & rose 🌹 but that first guitar solo wow,it's the second and only guitar solo that gave me goosebumps 😍 love it and they have a lot of good songs
GNR are the soundtrack of my life. Love them and thank god for Axl.
Nightwish....Ghost Love Score from Wacken! EPIC
Fun fact: You will *never* be cooler than Slash smoking a cigarette and playing guitar while standing outside of a church in the middle of the desert. The “top hat guy” is Slash, and yes he’s everyone’s favorite GnR member lol. 🤘
The last guitar solo Is probably One of the best ever played.
Keep in mind of how talented Axl Rose is. He composed this song, the piano and the strings. It is an Epic song.
In the story the video is based on she kills herself because he cheated on her and she couldn't move passed it. That's why the mirrored casket.
Axl has a 5 octive range. He's just AMAZING ❤
One of the best solos ever made, always great to see someone new to Guns experience it for the first time.
Other great songs that aren’t too mainstream:
Estranged
Civil War
Out Ta Get Me
Nightrain
Mr Brownstone
My Michelle
Stacey, you brought your A-game on this one. Probably the best breakdown & commentary I’ve heard on this song. You mentioned a few things I’d not observed before. Excellent reaction to one of the best rock ballads ever. 🔥🤘😎🔥
There’s really no way to duplicate what this band can do. This is one of the greatest songs ever written. Check out Sweet Child O Mine for another epic song and one of the greatest guitar solos you’ll ever hear. Slash is a legend
That guy with poofy hair is Slash. He is a legend on his own rights. One of the best guitarists
The last 3rd of the song is probably the best representation of what you'll be getting with Guns N' Roses' sound.
Great content as always, Stacey !!!!
(Peep "Sweet Child of Mine" and "Welcome to the Jungle" for GnR's best work.)
It's the only song live where the more clutter the better, clutter being more back ups an orchestra, violins , flutes and everything. It's exceptional, one of a kind, and slash is the coolest human of all time
He actually took singing lessons to sound like he does. I forget the ladies name, but it is in a mini documentary.
if you look up Rock n Roll in the dictionary you see a picture of Slash wailing on the guitar with the wind in his hair standing in front of a church...EPIC...GnR Use your Illusion 1 & 2 and Metallica the Black album were the first CD's I ever bought when I was 10 years old...I'll never forget it...Music just ain't the same anymore...So excited for you to see more of them
One of the most iconic music video moments of all time.That my friend,is the amazing Slash.
I've always loved this song! As always, awesomely great reaction Stacey!
One of the most beautiful songs ever. Reacted to by one of the most beautiful woman ever. Perfect! :)
i was 14 when i first heard that song, now im 33 and it haunts me since. gnr are great. rock on! greetings from croatia!
This song has two special memories for me. One good and one bad.. The first was at a concert in 1992 with Guns n' Roses where I met a nice girl who sat on my shoulders at the front of the audience.. We had a relationship in our teenage years after that. The bad memory was when this song was played at a funeral.. The song is so long, so people started screwing up after the interlude when the up tempo came.
Hey Stacey! “November Rain” by Guns N' Roses is a great choice! I have to admit that Axl can be a bit controversial at times, but they produced some amazing records throughout their career. This song is from the album "Use Your Illusion I," which was written by Axl Rose. It’s one of their most iconic tracks, known for its emotional depth and grand production. I also love their first album, "Appetite for Destruction." It's a classic, and Slash’s guitar playing is always incredible, just like in this song from 1992. The music video, which feels almost like a short film, was directed by Andy Morahan and features Axl Rose's then-girlfriend, Stephanie Seymour. Thanks again for another great reaction! I can’t wait for the next surprise! Keep it up!
Hey Stacey. The funny guy in the top hat is Slash. He was the biggest hair band rocker of the early nineties. Guns N Roses fan or not, EVERYONE knew Slash. He was the man. Kids dressed up as Slash for halloween. Slash is almost synonymous with the Hair Band genre of a bygone era.
Saw these Live In Paris on The Use Your Illusions tour . Apart from Pink Floyds two concerts this was one on the best nights of my life , Slash even did a short riff from Pink Floyd amazing concert
I always love your reactions
There's a lot I'd like to tell you about exactly the same thing as the heyday of Guns n' Roses in my most sensitive teens, and it's a historic rock band that's in line with the metalica that appeared in previous videos by Ha...stacey. Of course, both bands are inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Today's song is a rare masterpiece in the history of rock, which has further elevated the status and honor of Guns n' Roses. And you said you don't like the guitar style, but I think it's enough for women to see it. But for most guys who love rock around the world, Slash is a hero himself and a living legend.
One of the best Songs ever 👍👍❤️
November Rain… the greatest song, total package considered, of the 80’s. Great lyrics, not one not two but three Slash solos, awesome video… and Stephanie Seymour. Literally the best.
Epic. Every time.
Welcome to Guns N* Roses.. this song has stod the test of time... It's one of the most played songs on MTV....👍 And Slash's guitar-solo, is one of the world's best guitar-solos of all time 👍 November Rain , has reached, over 1 billion views on RUclips 👍 The guy, with the Top-hat is , Slash, the lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses
My thoughts on this masterpiece song is that it tells the story of falling in love and the eventual ending of that once beautiful love. It speaks to me that way as I was married to what I thought was my soulmate and the most beautiful woman in the world on a bright and sunny November day …. We had my storybook life of a marriage filled with love , happiness and laughter as we brought our two children into the world together. But like this song says ,” Nothing last forever “ and after ten years our love “ died” and we were divorced on a cool , cloudy and rainy November day that left me in tears as I walked out of the courthouse in that cold November Rain as my world as I knew it was over then. So in this song / video the sunny wedding day is a metaphor for the couple falling in love and being in love … while then the darkness comes over and the cold November Rain starts to fall and her death is really just a metaphor for their relationship and love dying and the funeral is showing him now having to go on with his life alone. I feel this song could have been written about my life and how it happened…. “ nothing last forever, even a cold November Rain” 🌧️ ☔️❤️💖❤️🩹💔💙🖤😢
Welcome to the jungle and paradise city are 2 other great songs by GNR. Great reaction stacey!
Slash is not just a guitarist, he is the feeling of playing guitar!
