Totally Amazing FIRST Reaction to Guns N Roses Paradise City | AXL ROSE TAKE US HOME BABY!!!

[@purplebeard1526]

They formed around '85 and had a EP called Live like a Suicide but their real debut began in '87 with Appetite for Destruction (FWIW, they re-released that EP later on with new material for another EP called Lies). Appetite is one of the top metal albums of all time IMO. As far as lineup goes.... originally Axl Rose on vocals, Slash on guitar, Izzy Stradlin on rhythm guitar, Duff McKagan on Bass, and Steven Adler on drums. By the time their next albums arrive, the Use Your Illusion double albums, Izzy and Steven were gone replaced by Matt Sorum (drums) and Gilby Clarke( guitar)..and I believe they added Dizzy Reed as like a keyboardist. They did one more album with that line up called The Spaghetti Incident (an album of cover songs). The band had a bitter break up and the next GNR album was called Chinese Democracy with only Axl Rose left from the original line up. I couldn't tell you who was in the band at that time. Matt, Duff, and Slash formed Velvet Revolver with front man Scott Weiland formerly of Stone Temple Pilots fame. That band is great. They sort of reunited in the last few years. Adler drums part time now because of his recovering drug addiction(s). Izzy is still out though. As far as that AC/DC thing goes, Axl did sub for Brian Johnson. It wasn't a permanent gig.

[@purplebeard1526]

If you really want to deep dive with them here are my suggestions: Mr. Brownstone, You're Crazy, Outta Get Me, Rocket Queen, Nighttrain, Its So Easy, Double Talkin Jive, You Could Be Mine, November Rain, Don't Cry, Locomotive, Yesterdays, Garden of Eden, Patience, Knockin on Heaven's Door, Shotgun Blues, Civil War, Pretty Tied Up, 14 Years, Perfect Crime, Double Talkin' Jive....

[@mneugent7658]

Appetite isn't a metal album. Its rock and roll, pure and simple.

[@Prozak63]

Surprised nobody mentioned their the made after about a 13 year break named "Chinese Democracy". Ok, not surprised as it really gained no traction...I do like the song "This I Love" from it though.

[@purplebeard1526]

They are my favorite band and AfD is my top album of all time.

[@purplebeard1526]

I did mention CD. An ok album if done by most band's but a subpar GNR effort imo. I did like a few tracks off it though.

Axl is from the Midwest (Indiana) and moved to LA. Paradise City for him is small town life and getting back to simpler things. LA was the opposite where things were a “jungle” Every body is fighting for fame “rags to riches or so they say, ya gotta keep pushin for the fortune and fame” the city is polluted “strapped in the chair of the city’s gas chamber, why I’m here I can’t quite remember” them the line about Captain America is about wanting to get back to the simpler times versus the circus that is LA -“Now he’s a court jester with a broken heart he said ‘turn me around and take me back to the start”’ the album this song is on is called Appetite for Destruction and takes you through their journey of discovering Hollywood. Excellent listen from beginning to end.

Axl was in a band called Hollywood Rose. Put Guns together at some point and wrote songs on Pizza boxes. They released Appetite for Destruction at the end of the 80's but it didn't take off, so they re-released it around 90-ish. They are back together now, but were apart for a good part of the late 90's and 2000's.

My first GNR concert i stepped over seven piles of puke, had two beers spilled on me, saw three fist fights, two different groups of people dragged off by security, had some strange girl grabbing on me (that wasn't awful) and then the band came on. That was a night.

[@rosieazatyan5923]

Omg me too. I’m 45 and when these questions are asked I feel like I should be in a rolling chair. Anytime they performed in California my cousins took me. My walls were plastered with Guns N Roses. But it started getting to the point where Axl would get mad at audience and walk off stage and riots broke out and it got to scary for my parents, cousins etc therefore we stopped going to their concerts. On the tickets it would say it start around 9pm but it would start more like at 12am because Axl wouldn’t go out unless he was ready to go on. And if Axl didn’t walk off stage because audience would throw shit on stage we’d be there till like 2-3am then by the time we made it out the arena and the parking lot we’d be getting home around 4-5am that’s if we didn’t stop at Denny’s or Waffle House for food. There was times I had to go straight to school for dance practice/performance or kickboxing tournament. But it was so so worth it. P.S. I was young so no sleep didn’t bother me and it made me feel older than 12yo.

Rose said it refers to going home (Midwest) from the jungle (Los Angeles). First time I heard them was 1988. Sweet Child O Mine was being played on MTV. Never heard a bad GNR song.

Axl Rose (singer) and Izzy Stradlin (rhythm guitarist) were best friends originally from Indiana, until they moved to Los Angeles where they met up with the rest of the band. To answer your question of “where are they talking about?” I want to say Los Angeles is what they’re talking about “Paradise City” where dreams can come true, pretty girls, beautiful scenery. That would be my best guess. They play this song at the end of shows or as an encore, as kind of a “goodbye” if you will, as they are going back home to Los Angeles aka Paradise City

My second concert at the Orange Bowl. Guns N Rose's opened up for Aerosmith back in 1987. I was 12 years old. Then a year later opening for Rolling Stones, again at the Orange Bowl. The next time I saw them was Dec 31 New Year's Eve at the then almost new Joe Robbie Stadium. Axel seed during the concert that we are going to make the show a little bit longer than planned. Can you say 2 hours more. We ended up getting a good and happy Axel that day. Paradise City is about is hometown of Lafayette, Indiana. Axle Rose originally started a band called Hollywood Rose. With Tracie Gunns from LA Guns. First the drummer Steven Adler was kicked out for having a big drug problem. Then guitarist Izzy Stradlin left around 1990. The guitarist Gilby Clark and drummer Matt Surum came. Then after Rock in Rio 1994 the band started to break up. Slash first did Slash's Snake Pit. Axel shows up at MTV with a hole other group calling them Guns N Rose's. Slash, Matt, and Duff get together with Scott Weiland to form Velvet Revolver. They break up after 2 albums. GnR gets inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Everyone is there except Axel. And somehow GnR reunited. Just Axel, Slash, and Duff. But Izzy, Gilby, and Steven have popped up at some concerns doing a song or 2 with them. I seen this new GnR 2x at Orlando 2016 and Miami 2017. Ah, good times. Also, GnR was in the Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry movie called The Dead Pool. The movie starts a young Jim Carry playing a musician with a drug problem. He lip syncs the song Welcome to the Jungle. The movie also has a young Liam Nielsen. GnR comes out twice in the movie.

Guns and Roses were friends and portions of different bands LA Guns and Hollywood Rose, getting together to form this group. Between 1987 and 1991 they were the biggest rock band in the world. Which back then also equaled the overall biggest band in the world. Their debut album sold 28 million records in the U.S. alone (which is a Guinness world record) and maybe another 40 million in the rest of the world. When most successful bands sold half a million record copies. It's the equivalent of a billion views on KZbin. But then Nirvana came and eclipsed them in 91.

This video is from 1988 filmed at giants football stadium. GNR were the biggest band in the world at the time as you can see the 50,000 people packed in there to see them. They had a few more successful albums before splitting up in 1996. They recently reunited in 2016 and are currently touring and writing music for a new album. In 2016 Axl Rose did go sing for AC/DC only because Brian Johnson was ill and couldn’t finish out their sold out tour. Axl filled in like a champ and got the band through their tour as his voice suited their music perfectly. The guy in the top hat 🎩 with the curls is Slash in my mind the greatest guitarist ever and the reason I play guitar today.

Thy came out roughly around 86,87. I was 10 at the time & the 1st song I heard was Welcome to the Jungle. & to a 10yr olds ears, it was Mind Blowing!!! I was never the same again. This was back when MTV Actually played Music. So thy played the Hell out of this song. I used to try to record these music videos on wht we called a VCR. :) Which yer probably too young to know abt & probably never Heard of. ;) But thy always played this song, along w Sweet Child Of Mine. It was a Great time to be young & coming up. Great music was coming out every month it seemed, by So many different bands. MTV played Music. Gn'R was on Top of the World as The Biggest, Most Bad Ass Band around. But Appetite came out 1st. Then followed by 'Gn'R LIES' a couple yrs later. Then in 91, thy released their Masterpiece 'Use Your Illusion I & II'. By tht time, thy switched Drummers. Steven Adler, the original drummer had OD'd on Heroin & just cldnt seem to kick it. So thy replaced him w Matt Sorum. Turned out to be a good choice bcuz Sorum is an amazing drummer. No knock on Adler, but Sorum is just way better. For the early/mid 90s thy were The Biggest, Baddest Most Dangerous band alive. Thy kicked Ass. But, attitudes & fighting broke them up. Mostly Axl bng an asshole. Not Exactly sure wht yr thy broke, but late 90s. Sad sad time. But thankful for wht thy gave us when thy did.... Another suggestion u may or may not have heard-"Walk This Way" by Aerosmith & Run DMC. The video is pretty cool, u'll like it. But tht was the beginning of the Mixing & collaboration of 2 completely different music genres. Rock & Rap... Anyway, thanks for the video.

They wrote this song going from San Fransisco back to LA where they all met, and they're singing about Los Angeles being Paradise City to them

[@MrStrokerace80]

They were referring to Los Angeles. They wrote the song in a van, on the way back to LA, from somewhere in northern California.

The song was written after the hell tour. Duffs old band had a cook out for them And while everyone was parting.. Axl wrote about wanting to get back to LA

It's great to see that kids still react the same way as we did when we listened to this for the first time more than 25 years ago.

I remember in 1984 my first concert was Alice Cooper I was 14 years old and the opening band was LA guns which would later turn into guns and roses but we have never heard of them yet. Most people really don’t listen to the opening band because that’s when you get your weed together for Alice Cooper. So while we’re looking looking down rolling up some weed we heard “ I used to love her but I had to kill her” everybody’s head went up like who the fuck is this and they rocked the place where we wasn’t even worried about Alice Cooper no more. They stole the show
