First Time Hearing Guns N' Roses - November Rain

PREACH! And standing on the Piano... Slash yaaas

[@sixslinger9951]

Slash's solo here is one of the most heartfelt and melodic guitar solos ever. playing is one thing , but writing it and performing it with this feel is a whole other thing most can't do. That is why Slash is one of the most important guitar players in the last 30 plus years.

[@lynette.]

He makes the guitar sing with soul

[@mosesgarner2404]

Agreed! Slash is a great feel player. He's smooth about it too with a sort of Ace Frehley swagger while he plays. I find Slash to be one of my favorites who can play a little bit of every style and still have it be his sound.

[@SIXX2772]

[@andrewclear8905]

I like his solo's on Estranged as well.

[@heartt4994]

Not ever, Gilmour beats him, but still great

[@MavenCree]

This song is also known, not only for Slash's solo, but the way the camera kept flying past him... remember, this is before drones. They got a friggin' helicopter to keep swooping him as he played. (Hence the hair going everywhere). It was like the first time anyone had done that for a guitar solo in a music video.

[@anaaguilar3304]

And I love how it's the only time I've seen Slash without sunglasses.

[@buckeyegirl16]

I've heard him in interviews say he truly thought he was gonna die the day that was filmed the way the helicopter was dive bombing extremely close to him. Slash being Slash wasn't freaked out...said he remembered thinking well, what would be would be (I paraphrased).

There is a scene in the video that shows a gun store. When she is in the coffin, look carefully and half the coffin is a mirror reflecting her face. Because of the self inflicted gunshot, she otherwise, could not have an open casket funeral. It’s a must rewatch. Also, remember there are no drones back there and Slash’s solo in the desert is filmed with helicopter. We had never scene anything like that before. It’s truly a masterpiece song and video. ❤️

If you watch the video again, pay close attention to the lyrics and her facial expressions. She was struggling with depression. You can even see when she gets into the car after the wedding, she's so depressed looking. She committed suicide (via gun to the head), which is why they used a mirror on half of her face in the casket at the funeral. Sad stuff. 😔 EPIC song and video.

Our parents raised us with iron fist and punishment. Every day they instilled within us responsibility, accountability, and actions. We had the best music. We were the youngest to survive on our own. We had the music to help overcome so much growing up, but I think as we get older we realize what hell we went through but it made a stronger and better in the long one. Music like this could never be copied or replayed a thousand times like it was back of the day.

[@LinnLinnok-fe5tq]

For real. And we were the original “latchkey” kids taking ourselves to school and back home, feeding ourselves after school, riding our bikes and out playing with our friends in the neighborhood until dark. We were raised learning to take care of ourselves from the time we were in grade school. We were the first generation to adopt personal technology, mobile phones, computers, internet, as well as the last generation to know what life was like before all that (it was much better socially). When we die off, there will be no one left to remember what it was like to truly connect with the world around us without the barrier of a screen between us all.

[@turnsufficient4971]

Her death is representative of the idea things don't always work out and nothing lasts forever. It's symbolism that she died. He was happy af and then tragedy struck. Lyrics: "Nothing lasts forever - even cold November rain..." His bride is a metaphor for things begin and end -- its what we do between that counts.

[@caipirinha_king1632]

Those 80's rock bands were talented and great... I still don't know how that genre of music just died off as quick as it did. The music is timeless. I just wish that they shared an equal space today with hip hop/rap the way that it did 30 years ago...

[@davidkennedy6227]

@thedave1602 I was referring to them thinking that she died because of the storm that came in during the reception. It's been awhile since I watched this reaction but I think they asked if she died in that storm, if that's what caused her death, I was saying no, it wasn't during or caused by the rain and the storm

[@lalathedonna5223]

If you notice when they were all shown "happy" it was from his point of view. He was happy so he thought they were happy. He walked by the gun store. Gave her the wedding he thought would make her happy, but it wasn't enough. She used a 🔫 and committed suicide on their wedding day; that is why it was in the same church and why she buried in her wedding dress. The bride in the video was Axel's gf at the time. Slash hated the song, but grew to appreciate the genius of it. I would recommend "Sweet Child of Mine" next.

@Spicy Doughnut I'm saying to the mainstream MTV rolling stone general fans grunge was played & written about ad nauseum. Guns n roses in 91 to 93 were the only band from the 80s that were still played round the clock & written about. Metallica was pure heavy metal. Of course I understand that the other hair type bands survived & made it w/ a huge loyal fan base well after. Grunge was totally dead by 94. I was in junior high at the end anyway. It came in the industry pushed it to get every dime out of it & then it exhausted itself to be finished. I'm only saying those 3 years it was marketed like crazy. The look as well. The grunge look the doc martens chuck Taylor's flannel shirts & ripped jeans & grandma sweaters was everywhere. I look back at me & my friends wearing that stuff & it's dated & funny to look at. I liked some of the songs & it's part of that time period looking back forever & it was ruined. I also thought Kurt Cobain on the cover of rolling stone wearing a t shirt saying " corporate magazines still suck " was not exactly taking a stand when u r still posing for the cover anyway. Ur still using the magazine to schill ur music. I do believe he didn't kill himself & really did hate the whole music popularity scene & having to be a schill & that's exactly what he wrote in his " suicide letter " he was saying he was leaving music not life. It was only the obviously copied 4 last lines written by his wife that hr was divorcing that made it seem like a suicide note. That's obviously a whole other matter. Basically when Kurt died grunge was already over. The post grunge Era just spawned a lot of little bands w/ a couple hits 3rd eye blind , live come to mind. Than the 00s came & music declined. But absolutely the 80s bands can still pack a house not even just loyal fans from then but new ones. Guns n roses my only point was they seemed to be the only band allowed to be " cool" & get the heavy rotation on radio & on MTV. I wasn't saying the other 80s bands like skid row firehouse etc didnt die to their fans they just weren't considered " fresh & new "

If you look closely in the video, the woman's face is half-covered by a mirror fit to the contours of her face, which hides half her head but makes it seem it's whole. The story goes that Axl is portraying a rock star who is trying to deal with the fact that the woman he loves committed suicide over his repeated infidelity. You can hear the heart-wrenching sound his heart is making as he walked down the same aisle he married her on, at 14:15. The whole thing wasn't a dream, he was waking from a tormented dream about what happened. The nightmare was his reality.

[@davexvs]

yup shot herself in the left side of head hence the mirrored casket

[@cessxiii]

Interesting. I have read 7 GnR related books and have several documentaries, including "the making of" for this video trilogy. I have always read that he killed her (he walks by the gun store as HEAVY foreshadowing. Half her face is covered, well because...). She didn't love him, she was unfaithful, and he felt crushed by pain and trapped. Axl says on the making of videos: " 'November Rain' is a song about not wanting to be in a state of having to deal with unrequited love. 'Estranged' is acknowledging it and being there and having to figure out what the fuck to do…" This heavily implies that SHE was the problem. The video implies that his character ended it in the most final of ways, and is living with the negative fallout from such a complicated and dark and tragic scenario.

[@cessxiii]

for those who may not know, "unrequited" means unreturned love, unshared love, uneven love. You love them, they don't love you back.. At least not as much.

A masterpiece!!! One of my favorite songs of all time.......!!

[@aimeedouglas1584]

Such a gorgeous song. The bride in this video was played by Stephanie Seymour who at the time was Axl Rose’s real girlfriend. Next check out the sing “Estranged”.

[@turnsufficient4971]

Slashes guitar solo is absolutely beautiful in this song. Slashes mother was the African American lady who was married to the w hite guy - on the 1970s show "The Jeffersons."

[@HeyNowMal]

Guys - November Rain is part 2 in a 3 part series. Part 1 is Don’t Cry and part 3 is Estranged. I hope you react to them all!!

[@cut_putashatsang9784]

To everyone out there "never fear the darkness we still can find a way, coz nothing lasts forever even cold November rain" this song is the reason me and my cousin are into guitar, we learn together but mid between in 17th July 2018 he was murdered by a so call friend from behind. R.i.p Suihaimi Khangrah brother this song always reminds me of you.

[@kayjackson8922]

So, so sorry for your incredible loss.

For us who have grown up in the generation where we had to be accountable, we had to be respectful and we had to deal with our actions. Our parents ensured that we did that with an iron fist and a consequences were dealt with immediately. I think our childhood eventually got the rest of us as we got old enough to realize it. Trauma found us eventually. We just try and like hell to keep fighting mental illness, childhood trauma and everything else went with it. We lived the hardest toughest times. Most generations will never know about😢

[@dyannastevens4862]

Seen them live a couple times, Slash is hard to take your eyes off of. He is mesmerizing.

[@Youkantcmenow]

I remember as a kid in the late 80's and 90s on my school bus you heard GNR, Aerosmith, MCHammer, Vanilla Ice, Bon Jovi, Whitney, Prince, MJ, Celine Dion, etc etc etc all on the same radio station. I miss those days sometimes.

[@stuart3753]

It was such a different and better time. Entertainment as a whole is garbage today.

[@Shankaporomous]

One of my best songs of all time… good old days when you could express your artistic talent, without sensor ,,, nice job dudes

[@Curtin-mf3xy]

Estranged is another huge song like this with a great film clip. Slash's true masterpiece song if you ask me. The brilliance of Slash is that his guitar work doesn't add to the song, it Makes the song.

[@JudesChan]

This is my absolute favorite song of all time! I knew you guys would be “wtf happened” when the shot of her in the casket popped up. It usually provokes that reaction in ppl seeing this epic video for the first time. So notice the mirror that is in the casket, that should give you a hint as to what _may_ have happened to her. The song title is another hint. Cheers guys, as long as it is, I can listen to this over & over again, all day! Remember the video was filmed in the early 90’s, so that was an actual helo flying around Slash in the first two guitar solos.

[@Sofia-uk9bh]

I can't believe you guys never heard this masterpiece or this band. It's one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Timeless and pure talent. Great you heard it sooner than later... they were called the most dangerous band in the world and they certainly still are on the top of music history and will always be. Just LEGENDS

[@Presleyera]

Slash's solos are just incredibles. This one is so beautiful, the guitar is literally singing 🌹🎩!

[@anndesantiago858]

"Welcome To the Jungle" That's the first GnR hit and it's rough and amazing ❤

[@nortiwriot9682]

This was a banger 🔥🔥🔥 that guitar play by Slash was epic... Other Guns n' Roses songs to react to is "Paradise city" "Welcome to the jungle" "Night train" those are bangers as well

[@flossyangel1]

Even though you read this song is based on a short story by Del James and is told through 3 Gun's n Roses songs Don't cry, November Rain and Estranged. The story is basically about a rock star, grieving over the death of his girlfriend who committed suicide Slash is an amazing Guitarist; I grew up on 80's Rock bands. Loved GnR Use your Illusion albums, and there first album is fire my favorite album by them.

[@bigoairhead1577]

November rain is such an amazing iconic song, y’all should definitely check out don’t cry or paradise city next

[@Ayo.Bruh.]

This is my Aunt’s song. It was her favorite song when she died, and she died on November 5, 2002 on a cold rainy day in Portland, OR. R.I.P. Auntie Trista, I’ll always love you

[@ashmable0767]

Very happy you found them! There's tons of grear artists for you guys to explore in rock! Hope the rock love is still growing! ❤

[@angelicajoy1]

Guns N Roses debut album “Appetite for Destruction” is the HIGHEST GROSSING debut album OF ALL TIME. Sold 30 MILLION copies and Still holds the #1 spot! I saw them open with Metallica front row center at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City with 70,000 people in 1992’. Best concert of my LIFE! (And I’m 50) I can’t believe it was 30 years ago! I’m so glad y’all have been reacting to both Guns N Roses & Metallica these last few weeks, makes my little rocker chic heart happy! ❤😊

[@clydecarlyn1867]

Y'all should try "It's So Easy" by GNR it's insane how wide of a range they have

[@matheuspaiva99]

Word! Followed by “Nightrain” and “You could be mine”. Those 3 absolutely fucking rock.

Axel Rose said that if this song was not a hit, he would stop playing music for the masses. Claiming he put everything he had in to this opus

[@AugieDoggyDoo]

Great reaction. Axl was a huge part of my life in the '80s and '90s but this song is what solidified my love for his voice. Back in those times, we were rocking and head-banging and most likely drunk, lol. Anyway, This song is one of those ones that destroy me. It makes every hair on my body stand straight up. It is a very powerful song and shows Axl's range. It was crazy to find out that his voice is considered one of the best voices of all time. Keep exploring GNR. Slash is an amazing guitarist. Axl is still touring today and apparently doing very well and has his voice back. I will see them for sure if they hit the states again.

[@kenttaylor9238]

Fun fact: Slash and Lenny Kravitz attended the same high school. You should check out their collaboration on Lenny's "Always On The Run" from the Mama Said album.

[@SobrietyandSolace]

Both great examples of mixed/POC representation in rock as well. Do these boys know Slash’s heritage?

In their prime, Axl's voice range was lit.

If you ever get a chance, could you please react to "Popular Monster" by Falling in Reverse.

[@christinaweinmangeriatrics1689]

One of the best song’s ever written.

[@BettyBicepGirls]

This song is a perfect metaphor for Love …. The beginning of a new love is all sunshine , happiness and good times … then you get married and it’s good for awhile , but it’s starts to get get gloomy and darker as one or both of them start falling out of love … thus the wedding is the beginning and since “ nothing last forever, even cold November Rain … once the dark skies move in and then the rain falls … the love is dying and her funeral symbolizes the actual “ Death” of their love as once again … “ Nothing last forever, even cold November Rain”

[@andrewstack9980]

Did she kill herself?

[@BettyBicepGirls]

@@andrewstack9980 I still believe the meaning of the song is how “ nothing last forever … especially most loves between two people. The wedding is the bright sunny in love metaphor, while her death and the funeral is really just symbolizing the eventual “ death” of their love. Some believe that sometime after their wedding that she did commit suicide because of the mirror in her coffin by her head. But either way too me it’s just the story of falling in love snd then that love dying

Slash's solo is one of the most pure guitar solos ever. I've been a fan of GnR since I saw them as the warm up band at the Whiskey in L.A. They were introduced as L.A. Guns and Hollywood Roses. There is controversy about why the Bride dies in the video.
