You are awesome to watch, awesome song, awesome band and you are gorgeous with a smile that is contagious

Written for pat Garrett and Billy the kid movie in 70s.

[@justinpitcock5312]

At the Freddie Tribute they came out and played paradise city and then this song Britt. Axl came back out and sang Bohemian Rhapsody with Elton John and Queen and that’s an amazing performance too!! This tribute had to make Freddie smile😊😊

[@nrgchannel4484]

I was at this concert, it was an amazing day throughout (mostly) the energy was electric and an emotional rollercoaster.

[@justinpitcock5312]

@@nrgchannel4484 that’s awesome!!

[@kimzwolinski9919]

That was a great live performance too😊

I was about to suggest you Brit to check that performance of Axl and Elton John, it was amazing, worthy to see.

[@gertvanderborght125]

I was 12 when this show was on. Watched it live on television in Belgium. Taped it on the VCR and watched it a million times. Now 31 years later GNR is still the bist band for me

[@andyshores9391]

Tracy and Roberta are legends among GN'R fans, they get their due

[@afcansf5996]

Indeed they are, they always have been fantastic.

[@brianlafrazia8237]

You were right about the special FEEL of this concert. Context: This was the year after Freddie passed. HIV/AIDS was still a horrible thing that we still didn’t understand well, and had no cure. This concert was to benefit that cause. It brought out ALL the biggest names in rock & roll all onto the same stage, all to give tribute to Freddie. The remaining members of Queen would join these bands to play. The atmosphere was absolutely INCREDIBLE - full of mutual love and friendship and emotion. The energy was unparalleled. One of the greatest live music events EVER. The entire show was next level.

[@davep2945]

For a few short years GnR was as big as anyone who ever played. They would eventually implode and even when they got back together could never recapture those early years but boy they were magic for a while.

[@candinorris341]

GNR was absolutely amazing in their prime. I’m an 80’s -early 90s rocker kid and their music was pure raw, get your groove on music. Axl could sing! Beautiful thing. Amazing musicians during this time. They don’t do it the same anymore. 🔥

[@kimzwolinski9919]

This is one of my favorite live performances of this song ❤ The hat usually falls off when he is running around on stage. 😊 I love that Axl shouts out Tracy and Roberta at live shows.

[@brittreacts]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@presleymcdonald5593]

I did also want to add guns and roses later performances did not have slash due too him and axl having a falling out so they did have someone else in his place

[@afcansf5996]

I was blessed enough to be their live, and from all the live performaces from this song Ive seen them do; this was one was truly celestial.

[@IggyStardust1967]

Brit, I've been to shows that big before. You can't fathom the amount of energy that many people can create. IIRC, this was during their "Use Your Illusion" tour. GNR were known to be "problematic" during live shows. I happened to catch them with Metallica in '92 at RFK Stadium, first show of the tour. While GNR delayed taking the stage, when they did, they rocked the place. My friends and I all got "General Admission" tickets, which placed us on the field. I still have the t-shirts I bought that night. It was an insane show. Wasn't my first "mosh pit", but it was my first time "crowd surfing". I was in my mid 20s at the time. Man..... those were the days!!

[@brittreacts]

wow sounds like a great time!

[@PatrickORourke-yz3xn]

I think what you described as feeling at your first break was Axl's presence as a front man. When he is on his game, he can control a show similar to Freddie. The band is real good and Slash gives them quality depth, but Axl is what separated these guys from the rest. Both his voice and his stage presence.

[@GroovingPict]

too bad he's only on his game or even bother to show up at all about 10% of the time :p

[@templestark4779]

Totally agree about the voice. It's rich, unique and emotion-filled.

[@jasonf3128]

​@GroovingPict too bad you have no idea what you're talking about

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

I was lucky to be at this show. I'd seen Queen live with Freddie 4 times from 1980-1984. This Freddie tribute concert in 1992 was so packed full of many of the best rock and pop artists of the day. It was a helluva wait to get into the venue (the old Wembley stadium), but well worth it.

[@cindyv1401]

Love the way AXL prowls the entire stage 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rowanmayfair9249]

You should watch Axl and Elton John singing Bohemian Rhapsody. The way Axl enters the stage is epic. I also wouldn't be me if I didn't mention what is widely considered the best performance of that concert, George Michael did Somebody To Love and KILLED it. Slash? Girl, we gonna have to share him. That is one gorgeous man.

[@waywardpagan6475]

A really great Guns 'n Roses performance is Rocket Queen Live in Tokyo '92

[@randyhaynes832]

GNR was an Amazing Band to see live

[@kerenolivero7097]

GnR is still amazing band, Live. They still tour :)

[@JG-fv9bv]

Slash ....born in London , raised in Stoke ...then moved to America and became a guitar God

[@jjgerrish_]

Awesome reaction! You HAVE to do Don't Cry - Guns N' Roses live in Tokyo 1992 (probably their best live show ever - all the songs from it are great)

[@monkeybone3051]

Night train is also a really good one from that show

[@alangreen3425]

You are correct. It is a twin neck guitar. Top neck is a 12 string...and cleaner toned. When he goes for a distorted tone, the bottom 6 string neck is connected to the distortion effects. Slash is one of the best..for sure...

[@JohnD-wo9ov]

My favorite cover of this song

[@brittreacts]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@peterschon3717]

The first notes with the first words of Axel Rose was "Only Women Bleed" from Alice Cooper (on the "Welcome to my Nightmare album from 1975). And Knockin on Heavens Door ist from Bob Dylan!

[@kevinhegwood615]

"Slash is like this mythical, magical creature" is the most apt description ever.

[@anthonyashcraft8456]

The vocalist's best friend are imperfections it makes their voice theirs, Loved the reaction

[@kerenolivero7097]

I agree 100%. Axl had created a very unique type of vocals, all of which is very much his own & awesome, at that :)

[@crystalbraxton8439]

Watch any live performance whether with GNR or with other bands, the guitar is Slash's voice. He is so amazing! Love him!

"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a song by singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, written for the soundtrack of the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Guns N' Roses had a big hit with the song.

❤ NOBODY PUTS BABY IN A CORNER! I love it! You can call the guitar a two-headed whatever as far as I'm concerned! And yes, Slash is a 🦄 !!!! Love your comments! Keep being you! 😊❤

One of the greatest, most vibbing live performances ever. There's a reason this performance was chosen to go on their "Live Era" album. It was absolutely glorious.

[@7viewerlogic670]

That very short window of prime GN'R was the greatest of all time.

1992 was one of the greatest years of music in the history of humanity, across every single genre you can think of. What a magical time to be in your (my) formative years (i turned 13 that year)

[@billstein2]

The energy you feel is everyone's reaction to the "Appetite For Destruction" album... which came out just before. Every song on that album was magic.

[@templestark4779]

Like 5 years before tho. But agree on the energy.

[@kerenolivero7097]

GnR always bring all the vibes & all the feeling, on so many levels! Please react to more GnR :) Slash does not normally sing (it is not his thing), but if you watch enough of GnR's live performances, you will get to see the rare occasions when Slash does add a tiny bit of his own vocals. Axl has a huge vocal range (I hope you'll react to more GnR, so you can experience this), and an incredible stage presence (omg, I could go on! lol). Everyone in the band (throughout the years & all the line-ups, from many years ago, to today) is awesome in their own right. Oh, almost forgot, GnR do a lot of covers (which I love), and they also have their own material (I love it, too) 😍🤩 p.s. If you listen to the albums' versions of their songs, you'll get to hear a cleaner version. Their live performances can be at times raw, and messy, yet special all the same. Nowadays, their live shows are still a lot of fun, although not as raw, not angry & not as messy, but still a LOT of fun, because their vibes these days are happy (it was not happy, years ago), sober, and they enjoy working together :)

[@zethpadilla3159]

Hey! You' ve got a lot of passion inside from outside. I love the way You feel the music. A big hug to You! Keep going so much further.

[@dougca7086]

The song was written and recorded by Bob Dylan it is one of the most covered songs of all time

[@brittreacts]

that is awesome!

[@zeem3366]

Britt i loved your reaction, you are awesome. i love GnR's version the best, and my daughter when she was 2 yrs old was singing this song word for word, and this was her favorite song of all time. She didn't know the exact name of the song but she'd yell at my buddy Kenny in the car to put on Knock Knock Knockin, Kenny put on Knock Knock knockin, she'd drive him nuts till he put it on for her. She'd be sitting in the back seat between 2 250 watt subs singing her little heart out to this song. My buddy has since passed away and my daughter will be 33 in June this year, and this song brings back those memories so vividly

truly

[@dalehiser2983]

The first lines that he sings in this video, "He lies right at you/He's your life's mistake/All you really looking for is an even break" come from an Alice Cooper song called "Only Women Bleed" which you should really react to.

[@brittreacts]

[@tonydelapa1911]

I thought I was imaging things here. The opening part of this song is “Only Women Bleed” by Alice Cooper. Interesting transition.

[@horstschafer1839]

Since the Video of "November Rain", Tracy and Roberta, were the most powerful and a kind of sexiest background singers. By their vocals and their appearance on stage.

[@greg2976]

We would love for you Britt, to one time let loose and sing your heart out! You have a fabulous voice!!!!

[@davidmoss2548]

The opening guitar riff and vocals were Alice Cooper Only Women Bleed which is about Violence against spouses and women.

[@andrewmccabe9820]

Slash was real drunk In this clip. He was drinking early at the pub.....Legendary...

[@decay79]

Knocking was a Dylan song, but G'n'R released it on their Use your illusions 2 album in sept. 91 i think it was.

[@elijahs6358]

Usually I´m not commenting on videos, but in this case I have to say how nice it was watching yours. Excellent choice of song and performance aswell. And "Double Neck Guitar" is just perfectly fine 🙂

[@ronmullard5718]

written by Bob Dylan and was theme music for the movie" Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid"....

[@robertkilmartin350]

Call it whatever you like kiddo. It's a double neck, one is 12 string one is 6 string. But whatever feels right works. And yes...Slash is absolutely mythical creature. Had the pleasure of seeing him just go off for 3 hours straight on a couple epic occasions. I'm a guitarist and I was just awestruck watching him go off on his axes non stop , as I said for 3 plus hours straight every show I've been too.

[@toodlescae]

Here for the algorithim. I can't listen to this song ever since my 18 year old cousin died years ago because it makes me cry. I was listening to a friend's band one night about a week after. They pkayed this song and I lost it. Ended up crying in the ladies room.

[@Chuckclc]

Axl Rose at his best had one of the best Rock voices ever.

[@susanlindner8626]

Slash has another band that is called Slash & The Conspirators that features Myles Kennedy (who is also the singer for Alter Bridge).

@BrittReacts, I did a quick scan of the comments here and didn't see this info, so allow me to share the juicy drama surrounding Guns N Roses playing at this tribute concert to Freddy as well as a concert promoting HIV awareness. OK READY? a few yrs before this concert Guns n roses put out an album featuring a song that had negative things to say about the gay community. The song accuses gay ppl of spreading HIV and refereed to them as an f word that rhymes with "magets". So Guns n Roses playing this show was a slap in the face to many gay ppl. Their were death threats called in mentioning shootings and bomb threats. The remaining members of Queen said they fully support Guns n Roses playing at the show. SOOOOOOOO that odd energy that you perceived was the band being super energetic cause they dont wanna stand in one place to long as they might get shot. LMAO. (Que "the more you know" gif). So now you know.

Hi Britt, You were RIGHT The 1ST Time , it is a Double Neck Guitar, and My Dad had a Acoustic 1956 Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Guitar when I was Growing up SO i Should know. He got rid of it maybe 10 years ago, But he should have taken me when he sold it, Because he walked in to a Music Store with it and asked how much money he could get for it. The manager asked how much were you looking to get for it, My Dad said $4000 no that's NOT a Typing Error. He told My Dad to Stay there ,Don't sell it to anyone else,. He said he didn't KEEP that amount of Cash on hand and would hurry to the bank and get it. If it were me I would have walked in the store ask How much would a Guitar like this sell for IF I Were to sell it and IF he said $10,000 I would have said I will sell it to you for $9.500. I have Sold Guns that way BUT he .just got RIP OFF . Guns-n- Roses are and GREAT Band. I like I like the way you End ALL of Your of your Videos, Some people are out hurting and Believe they Deserve Every Bit of PAIN they are going through and those words of Encouragement Help. I only know you from you Reaction Videos, BUT I think IT's a Safe BET To say You Are Beautiful From the Inside out. New Subsciber, Neal

People didn't want Queen at Live Aid. They ignored an artist boycott of playing at S. Africa due to apartheid. Well some felt the same way about GNR due to homophobic previous references. Also Axle blew off his one rehearsal with Elton. But came out big for the show and buried the B.S. in my humble opinion.

[@chrisjohnson1599]

This song gets used all the time now in TV Shows' Season Finales when the writers put a character in a near-death situation and they want you to wonder whether that character/actor will be returning the next season. It usually plays during an overhead shot which pulls away and fades to white. It's now a cult classic if only for that.
