The Reason This Video is In this format is because it was Blocked!! So I have to Re-edit Making it smaller is the only way it will stay up until I get more space on Vimeo to upload my blocked videos, RUclips can’t detect the small videos
@@jamelakajamal That's fine with me. This beats having to go to Vimeo. I can see you just fine, and the sound quality is not affected in any way. But it appears they get blocked anyway, as happened with the Tom Jones track. Modifying video does little when it is the audio track that is the copyright issue. Ah well. Peace out, and let the music play! At least as long as you are able, my friend.
Forever young. In his honor live a full life. I lost my best friend at 12. And another best pal at 23. Whenever life got very difficult the memory their faces and voices cheered me on. You do the same.
This is one of the few songs that when I hear it I have to stop and jam out to it, and somehow I've pavlov'd my kids into doing it too. It's just so good!
I always sang this to my daughter when she was a baby. The eyes, the hair and the wishes for storms to quietly pass by . Where do we go reminds me to do my best as we aren't given instructions to live and my daughter still is totally different than her brother was.
I've also sang/ dedicated this to my granddaughter. Red hair, blue eyes, my pride. To see her cry or have hurt feelings, "ok who do I kill for hurting my lil darling? "
This song hit big in the summer of 1988, which was a year after it was released. But with Mtv and alot of radio play, it blew up big time. I just had graduated and had a 1975 camaro as graduation present and sunk 2000 dollars into a new stereo system, and I loved crusing around blasting this song, and the album...fun times back then.
Gotta be one of the greatest guitar riff song intos of all time...a special band right place right time.. amazing sound💯...love you Jamal..Happy New Year💗
Jamel, I've been playing guitar for over 25 years and this songs guitar solo is one of my all time favorites! My all time favorite GnR song is NIGHT TRAIN. It has a killer solo as well. Would love a reaction to it. 🎸
@@mr.mustang656 The actually, actual guitar solo in the song did make within the top 10 of Guitar World's list of the top 100 best guitar solos of all time. But yeah, "guitar solo", indeed.
I was stationed in Germany when this came out, and while out in the field at Hohenfels doing fire marker duty, my driver had this tape and played it a lot on his boom box. Fell in love with this entire album, every cut was great. One of the best debut albums ever.
Love Guns & Roses, theres no one got a voice as distinctive as Axl"s he was a pretty cute guy too. Just wanted to say i was in a discount chain of shops here in UK which sell craft items, books artist materials & just a year ago i was looking through their reduced books section & nearly dropped to my knees when i picked up a huge hardback book with amazing photos of the History of Guns & Roses .. Reduced from £35 to £5...! I clasped the book to my bosom & floated to the checkout in 7th heaven! Its an amazing book & really precious. One of my best finds & brilliant savings
Jamel_AKA_Jamal, I recently discovered your reaction videos. You have been reacting to music for the six decades of my life, and I think you are an absolute joy! Thank you for your love of music, and your willingness to share.
I love the power of music. Just closing my eyes took me back to 1988 when my older sister got me this tape & my mom threw it out when she looked at the cover art. Thanks sis for getting me two copies...lol
saw them open for The Cult @ the Santa Cruz civic in '87'. There were 75 people in house when the lights went down. I had the impression they had too much fun in S.F. the night before, except for Axl. He sang like it was a full stadium and I've been a fan ever since. Thanks Jamal. Hope you have a great year. Peace.
As you noticed, this song is over 1.1 billion views. November Rain is over 1.5 Billion. But , they weren't the first. The first rock band over 1 Billion was Linkin Park, who also have 2 songs up there. Numb is over 1.5 Billion and In The End is over 1.1 billion
I read "Slash's book and from memory he was born in London to an English dad and Afro-American mom and then went to live in Stoke -on -Trent when his mom moved back to LA(She worked in the fashion/design business and dated David Bowie at one time) Slash and his dad then rejoined her in The USA....He said he remembered their house was always full of interesting "Bohemian" type of people coming and going. He partied really hard and admitted to sometimes drinking a bottle or 2 of vodka before lunch and eventually had to have some sort of "Heart pace maker" type of device fitted to keep him alive. He's one of the greatest guitarists I've heard coz he played from his soul but he hated that Axl Rose would regularly keep the crowd waiting before showing up on stage. Love G&R though.
This is the first song I heard after my daughter was born. I was in the Army. The video was #1 on Headbangers Ball that night. I have the standard notation for the guitar intro as a tattoo on my left arm. ✌❤🎼
One of things about Slash is if you notice right after the solo he still playing. Just adding little notes, like a backup singer on the guitar. Amazing!
but....I'm sure every band from 86-88 (except Priest and Maiden), probably wrote kickass albums, only to have the record company say "y'know these power ballads are all the rage...how about you have one too?"
@@xXPyrophorusXx I seriously doubt if GNR would have caved to any label pressure. Nobody was going to tell them what to do and they did not trust anybody. When it comes to his music now, I'm sure Axl has not changed his attitude on that. Motley didn't have label pressure because they kinda started it with Home Sweet Home. Ratt never did a ballad.
Rolling into middle school the first time and someone had a boom box blasting "welcome to the jungle" and it was pandemonium... This album was new at the time lol
The look you had going at like 4:52 was perfect. 100% in the music. You get it. I am so glad to see people appreciating music, vibing together, and spreading love and peace. It's a beautiful thing! One love
I love it even before it starts, the words are so lovely and his voice is different in this one. I have chills through the whole song, always. : ) Slash, there really are no words, he is another one who speaks through his guitar, he is incredible.
I still remember MY reaction the first time hearing this song after my roommate brought the album home. When Axl busted out with the "Ai Ai Ai", after the "where do we go" breakdown AFTER Slash's blistering, multipart, lyrical, Hendrix-like solo, I think my brain just about exploded.
Fun Fact: When they were writing the song, they were thinking where should they go after the solo and Axl was like "where should we go now?" Then someone there decided to have him sing that. lol
A friend of mine from School, was at the infamous Calder Park concert in 1993. Guns n Roses were playing at Calder Park Raceway, just outside Melbourne, Australia, the home at the time of AUSCAR (Australia's short lived version of NASCAR) It was a 40C day, (which they were famously charging $4 for water at), 75,000 people in the crowd, 1,000 treated for heat-related illness, Guns 'n' Roses fame on hours late, a thunderstorm passed over, dropping the temperature to 25C in minutes, turning Calder Park into mud, with the concert running late, buses were unavailable to get people back to Melbourne, with people queuing for ages to get out of there. But that concert will forever go down in folklore here.
When I was a kid, I wasn't that into GNR. A few years ago, I finally sat down and listened to this song properly, and I was amazed how beautifully heartfelt the lyrics were. It really blew my mind.
I will never forget when this song came out. My brother and I were just kids at basketball camp in Maine. Every radio had this song blasting all week long!
How did I miss this?!?!?! Hitting me in the feels here. Aaaaaa, junior high and Gun and Rose's. I'll have you know cuteness that he is one of the best rock singers of all time when you consider singing range etc. And they were, hell they were magic when they formed.
Finally someone who doesn’t pause during the solo, someone who appreciates the hard work that goes in the coming up with and recording a killer guitar solo you now have my respect!
This song always reminds me of the time G'N'R cancelled a gig at a German festival an pretty much every other band played a few bars of this song to make fun of the band not showing up. THE running gag of the festival.
It's unbelievable how many rock gigs across the USA end their nite by simply doing a guitar solo of this...no drums...no backup instruments...no vocals....just a single musician playing a steel with every person in the audience mesmerised with everything else filled in by their memories of the song....
@ 0:25 HAPPY NEW YEAR to you, mate, from me in AUSTRALIA ! 🦘🏏😎 (It's now February here... 😊) I first heard this song when I was in Africa about 31 years ago. At 5AM. It woke me and all camp mates up. And so began the story ....... I now totally love this song! 😁 It is best played at Volume = 11. 👍
A pretty cool story during the demo recording of this song, the demo producer suggested adding a breakdown at the end of the song. The band agreed, but didn’t know what to do. While listening to the demo on a loop, Axl Rose kept saying to himself, “Where do we go? Where do we go now” (meaning he didn’t know what to do for a breakdown). The demo producer said, ‘why not sing that?’ And that’s where the “where do we go now” breakdown came from😎🤘🏼
I remember when I first heard this song. I was blown away. I kept thinking it must be a band from the early 70s I somehow missed. Then I thought, finally... a new pure rock n roll band.
Saw GnR live when they were in their prime. With Motley Crue. It was epic . Have loved them from the beginning. Still have my t shirts from then . Thank you for this video.Also love hearing your stories from the Staple Center.
I'm loving your wall in the background. It really shows you're getting into the music rather than just listening for viewers. That's what I'm in this for. To broaden your horizons over my own reasons.
Other one of my GNR favorites. I used to sing this song to my daughters, I still do to this day and all three of my daughters are in their 30s Now I can sing it to my middle daughter’s 7 children, the youngest is 3 months old
I believe, or would like to believe, from different peoples accounts and interviews and such that Axl has grown. There are many in the industry that have not and are still stuck in their egotistical, arrogant ways. I hope what Ive heard about the current Axl is true.
+ some solid evidence he has changed for the better it the Not in This Lifetime Tour. Cause he'd pushed everyone away so much that when Slash was asked, years ago, if they'd tour again, his answer was "Not in this lifetime." So again, hopefully he has grown, as we all should strive to do.
I've heard the exact same thing.. which is telling because who is the one who continues with work with folks.. that would be Slash and not Axl who let money and fame go to his head. Maybe he was always a jerk? I dunno.. but I do love the music from this band.. you can always tell when it's Slash playing.. just like you can always tell when it's Willie playing his guitar.
Jamel you are on fire w Guns and Roses 🌹 🔥🔥🔥 loving it!! Sweet child won all our 💕..Slash on the guitar and the Axel Strut!! Woo hoo 🙆♀️.. Again, you are an amazing reactor and human being!
It was nuts when they came out with this song, and Welcome To The Jungle'. The 80s had so many genres popular, then gone. This came out when radio-type long hair bands were big, and the big 4 heavy metal bands were getting big. It seemed like nothing could come out and matter much, but these ones combined blues with their feelings and heavy style. They took it all, and it was a great surprise... of course that could just be where I lived at the time...
Originally the song started from Slash trying to mimic a Snow Cone truck circus music sound while they were taking a break during rehearsal. Axl heard it and wanted Slash to play it again. And started from there.
My favorite Rock band. Axl has such a great voice and Slash is just Slash. 🤘 And people don't give Steven enough credit, he's got some great Drumming skills.
Omg you are sooo right! I was always annoyed by the way he danced. I thought someone should tell him how awkward he looked lol! But yes, definitely Davey Jones!!! :)
This song was used in Clint Eastwood's Deadpool. And Jim Carrey Played a junkie rockstar singing this song..it was his second movie Role if i remember right but the first I remember his from and I thkn it was Liam Neeson was his manager
April 2016 at Coachells My sister got to go to that concert she loved axle rose and guns and roses The funny thing is that was her last concert she passed away you're later but that that song is her song to me and her sister with the blue eyes and whenever I'm in my car I hear that song come on and I know it's her talking to me Thank you for doing this reaction I love all guns and roses songs myself but we did get to see adamlambert and concert together back in 2012 before he was with queen and also try to do poisons Every rose has it storm
Happy New Year ,this is from your boys in Los Angeles (closer to Dodger Stadium & DTLA) I watched one of your RATM videos, & have been stuck ever since. Great channel & appreciate the time & effort you put into it. Got some requests coming at u later
HAPPY NEW YEAR I really enjoy you You convince me of your honest reactions and you're so I cute In proud of having you as my virtual friend Keep up the good work 😳
Fun fact: Slash's intro riff is actually what used to be his warm-up for guitar. He would play it as a warm-up and the band liked it enough to include it in a song.
The first concert I ever went to was The Cult with GnR opening. This was the first song I ever heard in a SRO venue. Imagine what that did to my little 13 year old brain.
There were to versions. One in color and the 2nd black and white, which is the one everyone responds to. Back in the day on MTV the color version was the most played.
I think I saw that this song is in the Guinness book of world records as the most played, listened, covered song of all time. Might want to google that. But you see why. GnR is amazing!
This song came out when I was pregnant w my 1st daughter. Will always make me think of her and how I'd do everything to protect both of my girls from anything I can. ❤❤❤
So glad u did a true reaction . I heard you say at the end u would usually pause through out the song 🎶 & how u have seen Slash live . Thank you for reviewing them !
IMO: I'd rather see a larger video than the KEEP GREAT MUSIC ALIVE at the top.

Well that brought me back to the high school days! 😃
@@patrick86806 Took me back to my mid-1940s. ;-) And I didn't discover GnR until 2005.
Exactly
My my my...this was THE song of my teenage years....the volume goes up in the car whenever it plays....fun times back then....
A song that lives as ... ⚡Flashbacks to warm nights🚘... & a 💼suitcase of 💭memories 🗯 that i almost left behind...
We had awesome music in the 80’s . I was a teenager then also. Nothing will ever top the music we had while growing up! 👍
This was played at my friends funeral. He died in 1988 was 18 years old. The song will always hold a special place in my heart.
Rest In Peace to your friend. 🕊️
Hope his/her memory be eternal!
May he rest in peace sweetie.
Forever young. In his honor live a full life. I lost my best friend at 12. And another best pal at 23. Whenever life got very difficult the memory their faces and voices cheered me on. You do the same.
I don't care how old I get, if this song or November Rain is playing, I'm jamming!
Agreed. They are those songs if you are coming home from work you circle the block till they are over.
If you don't hear this song at a rock festival, you're at the wrong event.
knocking on heavens door too
Same here 💯
Axl's voice with Slash's guitar playing are perfect for one another! They compliment each other so well... the whole band does.. ❤❤❤ Guns N' Roses 🥰❤
I have a hard time believing ANYONE in America hasn’t heard this song - then my teenaged kids remind me that, “You’re old.”
Me too but we were lucky to grow up with this incredible music. I'm 65 & still a rocker for ever.😂😂
This is one of the few songs that when I hear it I have to stop and jam out to it, and somehow I've pavlov'd my kids into doing it too. It's just so good!
I read that the “where do we go?” part they improvised because they literally didn’t know what to do after that sick af solo
That's probably true.
Huh...that's cool
It is in their auto bios. True.
Appetite for Destruction is one of the best rock albums of all time brother.
🤘🎩🤘
I second this. Especially since it was also their debut album. Hard to get much better than Appetite for a debut!
That's the album I ruined my hearing with 🤣
Damn right.
My 20 yr old son was born to it!
I always sang this to my daughter when she was a baby. The eyes, the hair and the wishes for storms to quietly pass by . Where do we go reminds me to do my best as we aren't given instructions to live and my daughter still is totally different than her brother was.
You're Beautiful! ... Keep Shining Bright... ✌
I've also sang/ dedicated this to my granddaughter. Red hair, blue eyes, my pride. To see her cry or have hurt feelings, "ok who do I kill for hurting my lil darling? "
My mom used to sing this to me as a lullaby when I was little; it's "our song" to this day, and I think of her whenever I hear it.
This song hit big in the summer of 1988, which was a year after it was released. But with Mtv and alot of radio play, it blew up big time. I just had graduated and had a 1975 camaro as graduation present and sunk 2000 dollars into a new stereo system, and I loved crusing around blasting this song, and the album...fun times back then.
Gotta be one of the greatest guitar riff song intos of all time...a special band right place right time.. amazing sound💯...love you Jamal..Happy New Year💗
Jamel, I've been playing guitar for over 25 years and this songs guitar solo is one of my all time favorites! My all time favorite GnR song is NIGHT TRAIN. It has a killer solo as well. Would love a reaction to it. 🎸
Guitar solo at the beginning may be the best of all time. Immediately recognizable
“Guitar Solo”

It’s a riff mate
Still remember all the lyrics. Love this song and early Guns N’ Roses.
I remember when this song came out it was huge.
Slash is a beast on the guitar!
Beast on a guitar...........
ruclips.net/video/fJmzS_Redh8/видео.html
He takes his Axe and slashes through every song. 😉
Very witty!!
That opening guitar riff was what Slash used to warm up. Axl heard it while they were all living together and started writing words to go with it.
Bless you for NOT interrupting Slash's solo. That guy is a fantastic player who should always be heard through his complete solos.
Axl Voice is Amazing👌Slash is just Bloody Brilliant.Love this track👍❤
I think people underestimate is singing ability

He just wrote the lyrics ... the music was "stolen" ... in 1981 "Unpublished Critics" by "Australien Craw" was released and is the orginal song!
@@JohnHazelwood58 Which music was stolen?
I've dedicated this to my granddaughter, red hair blue eyes and is my pride. It breaks my heart to hear her cry (or get her feelings hurt).
1 thing i like about reaction video is you guys actually remind me how my feeling was when i first time heard this kind of legendary songs. Thank you.

Carol King is Slash Aunt. And actually Slashes mom made costumes for artists back in the day, including David Bowie
Didn't know that....thanks 💗

I did not know that either. Love this bits like these.

He also ODed on Heroin in Phoenix Arizona was pronounced dead but revived.
I still remember MY reaction the first time hearing this song after my roommate brought the album home. When Axl busted out with the "Ai Ai Ai", after the "where do we go" breakdown AFTER Slash's blistering, multipart, lyrical, Hendrix-like solo, I think my brain just about exploded.
"Estranged" is my absolute favorite by them....

A friend of mine from School, was at the infamous Calder Park concert in 1993.
Guns n Roses were playing at Calder Park Raceway, just outside Melbourne, Australia, the home at the time of AUSCAR (Australia's short lived version of NASCAR)
It was a 40C day, (which they were famously charging $4 for water at), 75,000 people in the crowd, 1,000 treated for heat-related illness, Guns 'n' Roses fame on hours late, a thunderstorm passed over, dropping the temperature to 25C in minutes, turning Calder Park into mud, with the concert running late, buses were unavailable to get people back to Melbourne, with people queuing for ages to get out of there.
But that concert will forever go down in folklore here.
Listening to Guns N' Roses in their prime gives me chills
One of the best albums of all time
When I was a kid, I wasn't that into GNR. A few years ago, I finally sat down and listened to this song properly, and I was amazed how beautifully heartfelt the lyrics were. It really blew my mind.

Axel = Ashole lol.

Maybe he was always a jerk? I dunno.. but I do love the music from this band.. you can always tell when it's Slash playing.. just like you can always tell when it's Willie playing his guitar.
Jamel you are on fire w Guns and Roses 🌹 🔥🔥🔥 loving it!! Sweet child won all our 💕..Slash on the guitar and the Axel Strut!! Woo hoo 🙆♀️.. Again, you are an amazing reactor and human being!
It was nuts when they came out with this song, and Welcome To The Jungle'. The 80s had so many genres popular, then gone. This came out when radio-type long hair bands were big, and the big 4 heavy metal bands were getting big. It seemed like nothing could come out and matter much, but these ones combined blues with their feelings and heavy style. They took it all, and it was a great surprise... of course that could just be where I lived at the time...
Originally the song started from Slash trying to mimic a Snow Cone truck circus music sound while they were taking a break during rehearsal. Axl heard it and wanted Slash to play it again. And started from there.
This song saved rock music. Before it was released there was no hoid rock being aired on radio they saved they 80's an early 90's
My favorite Rock band. Axl has such a great voice and Slash is just Slash. 🤘 And people don't give Steven enough credit, he's got some great Drumming skills.
SLASH is a Legend!!! That solo is 🔥🔥🔥 One of the greatest bands ever!
There it is! “The Davey Jones, from The Monkees Dance”!!
Omg you are sooo right! I was always annoyed by the way he danced. I thought someone should tell him how awkward he looked lol! But yes, definitely Davey Jones!!! :)
@@sherribaldwin2239 Nooo! I Love his Snake Dance!! Its "One of a kind!"💜😉😛😛😛😛
Sexy as hell!
That dance ...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song was used in Clint Eastwood's Deadpool. And Jim Carrey Played a junkie rockstar singing this song..it was his second movie Role if i remember right but the first I remember his from and I thkn it was Liam Neeson was his manager
"Johnny Squares", I think was the character.
When I was 17 my best friend lived 3 houses down from slash. We saw these guys play at the Huntington Beach pier before they went big!!
WE NEED MORE PPL LIKE THIS! THIS IS A CALL TO THE LEGENDS LIKE THIS MAN!

In proud of having you as my virtual friend
Keep up the good work 😳
Of all thier music, it's this one I come back to. Mr Brownstone, My My My, Paradise City.
Fun fact: Slash's intro riff is actually what used to be his warm-up for guitar. He would play it as a warm-up and the band liked it enough to include it in a song.
The first concert I ever went to was The Cult with GnR opening. This was the first song I ever heard in a SRO venue. Imagine what that did to my little 13 year old brain.
There were to versions. One in color and the 2nd black and white, which is the one everyone responds to. Back in the day on MTV the color version was the most played.
Wow I remember playing this song and riding around plus got to see them in concert back in the day ❤️
I was 18 years old in 1988 when “GnR” were the biggest band in the world. Greatest time in my life!
Slash's solo is my all time favorite guitar solo. I think I got tinnitus from going to there shows in my teenage years. Worth it.
Undeniably one of the best debuts ever. Loaded top to bottom. 5hey had such a great run,but tore themselves apart.
So sad. They were amazing.
Senior in HS when this dropped like a damn bomb and ended the era of 80's pop
I think I saw that this song is in the Guinness book of world records as the most played, listened, covered song of all time. Might want to google that. But you see why. GnR is amazing!
This song came out when I was pregnant w my 1st daughter. Will always make me think of her and how I'd do everything to protect both of my girls from anything I can. ❤❤❤
So glad u did a true reaction . I heard you say at the end u would usually pause through out the song 🎶 & how u have seen Slash live . Thank you for reviewing them !
I was in 3rd grade, at the skating rink, Friday night, this song came on and everyone hit the floor.
I loooved all the “Hair Bands” of the ‘80’s &’90’s. This song for Guns and Roses was a huge hit for them. And of course Slash was phenomenal!!!
