Guns N' Roses - Estranged | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@SneharthoDey]

What people don't mention often is that this is GNR's greatest song.

[@brianouellette3637]

Thank you

[@marcusmelo6733]

Exagero seu

[@BlakeHanback01]

Coma for me.

[@FabioOsorio619]

A truer statement hasn’t been made. 🤌🏽👏🏽

[@javiercastrejon8102]

I think November rain is better than estranged but my personal favorite of all time has to be ‘coma’

[@Roegwon]

The videos for "Don't Cry," "November Rain" and "Estranged" were meant to tie together and tell a story - that story is based on the literal short story Without You, which was written by Del James, who was a good friend of the band, particularly Axl Rose. James wrote Without You based on Rose's relationship with Erin Everly, whom he was married to in 1990 (they divorced in 1991 after a miscarriage). When it came time to make the videos, Rose and James decided to cast model Stephanie Seymour to play the female lead, and she and the vocalist ended up romantically involved. She starred in "Don't Cry" and "November Rain," but by the time they went to record the video for "Estranged" - which was going to continue the story told in Without You - the couple had broken up. So, they had to improvise, and during one scene in the video, Rose jumps off a tanker boat in the Gulf of Mexico, and swims with dolphins - all in a Charles Manson shirt. “Axl had split up with Stephanie Seymour, and he was like, ‘I don’t want any more beautiful girls in my videos; I’d rather have a dolphin,’" director Andy Morahan later explained to Kerrang!. "We knew that we were deliberately doing that so people would go, ‘What’s all that about?!’ There was a sense that it was throwing up a lot more questions than answers, and that suited everybody - it created a myth and intrigue around the whole trilogy.” "The dolphins was to assimilate a state of peace or state of grace. It was not originally intended, but in the next scene I will be drowned and go to heaven, and I really didn’t want to shoot a heaven scene," Rose said during the "Estranged" part of Makin' F@*!Ing Videos, which was released on VHS in 1994. "The music in the song always reminded us of whales at that particular point, and so dolphins showed up and it kind of brings all that together," he added. The "Estranged" video was meant to be a continuation of the events in "November Rain," so if Seymour and Rose hadn't broken up, the age-old question as to how her character died would've been answered. But, if you want to find out for yourself, you can read the short story Without You. (Source: Loudwire)

[@daz97]

Wow Interesting, and I'm not suggesting it's incorrect But there's beautiful girls in this video lol You don't see much of them but they are there

[@lananiella]

Thanks for the interesting backstory. I did not know that. I hadn't seen "Don't Cry" in a long time, so I started watching it. That's when I found out that Weird Al had ruined the song for me with his snarky commentary "Al TV" version. In a GOOD way though. I had to go watch his instead. If no one has seen it, trust me. It is SO hilarious! It still makes me laugh so hard. Be warned though, once you see it, some of the funnier comments WILL come back and haunt you. So it may ruin it for you too. Enjoy!

[@CrociatoAzzurro]

​​@@daz97 They were kept in a different area of the set, lol

[@Yoshi-Mooch]

Spoiler: Without You is abt a rock star who cheats on his woman. She won’t take him back and he writes a song called “Without You” for her that becomes a massive hit. She ends up killing herself and when they find her Without You is playing. Heartbroken, the dude sets his place on fire and kills himself while playing Without You….. When you hear “without you” as one of the last lyrics it hits harder knowing Axl is heartbroken. ❤- A huge GNR fan

[@andresargento1380]

Probably the best song and the best Guns N Roses music video

[@alexandremaireno-ni4ec]

Best video, agreed...but there are a few better songs

[@HonoringGeneralG.S.PattonJr]

@andresargento1380 I agree, this is their best song. November Rain I'd have to say, second greatest.

[@johnsanz8351]

Longer is not eq to better. I think a November Rain vs SCOM battle for the first place. But Estranged is in my top 5 for sure.

[@mikeman2862]

Why Slash is so cool? Cause he is Slash, it's that simple :)

[@steveo44]

The word "epic" doesn't do this track justice. One of their best

[@paulsmith2516]

November Rain video: There will NEVER be a more iconic solo location! Estranged video: HOLD MY BEER

[@FabioOsorio619]

This IS Guns N’ Roses best song.

[@TheseDarkWoods]

I discovered Guns N’ Roses through the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert when I was about eight. I had found my new favourite band. ”Estranged” has been my favourite since my teenage years. I’m only 38, and I’m much too young to let love break my heart. What a song!! Thanks, Biss! 💙🥂

[@Maxis1908yt]

Not known as others but one of their best in my opinion. This and Civil war for me are the most underrated GnR songs.

[@lasher5520]

I definitely agree. But I think Coma is underrated too

[@WarriorVinyard]

Don't forget Locomotive....and There Was a Time.

[@vanyadolly]

@@WarriorVinyard Locomotive is so slept on. It's my second favourite after Estranged. The UYI II album is underrated.

[@metoo7557]

Civil War by Guns n Roses is one of their best Biss, take a listen to it and have subtitles on.. it'll leave you speechless

[@grizzlyridge4379]

Absolutely an Amazing song and video!! Probably my favorite of all time. Enjoy!!

[@jamiemacdonald436]

The estimated budget for this video was $4M USD in 1993 ($8.5M USD today)

[@petergaudron1712]

I do love how Slash makes his guitar sing. And yes at times like a dolphin 😊

[@joeduffy3309]

Or cry

[@grey_wulf]

This was my favorite song on that double album.

[@Rabi.Rabi.Garchar]

Emotional insane sólo by Slash so far!!!

[@rohankorde]

Estranged is GNR's finest piece. A masterpiece. Highly underrated. Their very best.

[@MrManuelinsaurralde]

Some time ago I heard Axl had a terrible childhood, things related to his stepdad, his mom, his identity, and apparently physical abuse. So there may be a whole story and meanings through this epic song. All I know is that music heals the soul and can save lives.

[@Matt-jj5po]

I'm bipolar too... cuz of physical and mental abuse... and you are 100% right, music helps a lot, especially "mental" people :P

[@johnnyfallen87]

Finally.... Thnk u for react the masterpiece song

[@HHL-qt2xb]

My memory from the "Making Of..." video: Song = failed Marriage to Erin Everly (exWife) Video = Dylan (exGF Stephanie Seymour's son from previous relationship, who Axl grew close to during time togetger) & Stephine Seymour (exGF) Dolphins = Axl was completely tired of women/relationships by the making of this video, and wanted something entirely different to be his "salvation" in they key part of the video, combined w/some of Slash's killer guitar work sounding like whales/underwater wildlife

[@HHL-qt2xb]

PS No kids for Axl. At least that he knows of (lol)...

[@UCqkdtMiE5ZquD_lF9prae4Q]

Lyrics: 🧡 When you're talkin' to yourself And nobody's home You can fool yourself You came in this world alone Alone So, nobody ever told you, baby How it was gonna be What'll happen to you, baby Guess we'll have to wait and see One, two, three Old at heart, but I'm only 28 And I'm much too young to let love break my heart Young at heart, but it's getting much too late To find ourselves so far apart I don't know how you're supposed to find me lately And what more could you ask from me? How could you say that I never needed you When you took everything Said you took everything from me Young at heart, and it gets so hard to wait When no one I know can seem to help me now Old at heart, but I mustn't hesitate If I'm to find my own way out Still talkin' to myself And nobody's home Alone So, nobody ever told us, baby How it was gonna be So, what'll happen to us, baby? Guess we'll have to wait and see When I find out all the reasons Maybe I'll find another way Find another day With all the changing seasons of my life Maybe I'll get it right next time And now that you've been broken down Got your head out of the clouds You're back down on the ground And you don't talk so loud And you don't walk so proud Anymore, and what for? Well, I jumped into the river Too many times to make it home I'm out here on my own, and drifting all alone If it doesn't show, give it time To read between the lines 'Cause I see the storm is getting closer And the waves, they get so high Seems everything we've ever known's here Why must it drift away and die? I'll never find anyone to replace you Guess I'll have to make it through this time Oh, this time Without you I knew the storm was getting closer And all my friends said I was high But everything we've ever known's here I never wanted it to die

[@Hold_on7]

I'm late, but god I love this song so much, it has a great meaning in my life♡ thanks for reacting

[@skyshorrchannel3474]

This is best I've heard these guys sound in ages... Slash's high riff is awesome.

[@AvivMoshe]

Amazing song! the best of GnR

[@alexandremaireno-ni4ec]

That would be Civil War

[@blackman5867]

You can call any song "the best". But you gotta admit that Rocket Queen is how you perfectly potray a band named "Guns N' Roses". Not only that, both of its intro and outro sound like something you'd like to hear in the last day of your life

[@21mayckbaroni]

Number one 🍷🎸🎶🎶 #gunsnroses

[@HectorMiranda24]

This is a great song and the music video is amazing! Great reaction! Beautiful girl!

[@uzi978]

This is my favorite piece of guitar music ever... Slash's riff is so good, and I love the tone of his guitar.

[@javierruizcueto2389]

Don't Cry... To be in the problem. November Rain... Can't get out of the problem. Estranged... To get out of the problem. The problem... LOVE.

[@Geggy0815]

This concert was in the Olympia Stadion Munich, Germany.

[@StivenMaya]

I can recommend you react to Used to Love Her, a very good song with a danceable rhythm.

[@SRDmotorsports]

As mentioned it was inspired by the short story written by his friend Del James… but to add the sequencing story of the music videos -Don’t cry the song the scenes show how rocky their relationship is mainly cuz guy tours and the lady isn’t fond of the tour shenangigans and she isn’t there -November Rain the same couple (axl) married his girl and even with marriage she is still haunted by Axls touring life she shoot’s herself hence the coffin only showed half her face (so they can make u think it’s a self inflicted gun shot to the head) -Estranged the video shows the aftermath of him being lost and wanting to find peace and the dolphin signifies peaceful tranquility and notice? Axl grabs the dolphin before Slash’s second solo = metaphor for wanting to find and grab peace Hence the last verse “Il never find anyone to replace you, I guess Il have to make it thru” Sorry for the long comment they’re one of my fav hence the avatar 😅 @Bisscute sorry for the long comment

[@SRDmotorsports]

Added tidbit -Don’t Cry (original lyrics) is written as the women’s view towards the guy -Don’t Cry (alt lyrics) is written as the guy’s view toward his girl/woman

[@rmkk89]

8:50 for those wondering, YES he made the jump, and was one of or the most expensive videoclip at the time.

[@LordRahl1975]

One of their best and I heartily recommend you listen to just the audio or lyric video a few times so not distracted by the visuals. You may appreciate the song better that way.

[@JoseBolanosMusic]

Estranged is, BY FAR, the best thing Guns n Roses did in their carrer

[@kerenolivero7097]

Awesome reaction. I hope that you'll react to more GnR in the future :) Axl has such a great vocal range. One of the reasons I love Estranged, is that he showcases his range, all the way from his baritone (you are correct that it is his natural voice), all the way to his higher pitch vocals. There are not many singers (especially male singers) with that range. It is impressive. Also, you are correct that Axl wrote Estranged about the end of his marriage (he was married to Erin Everly. their relationship was toxic, but earlier on in their relationship, he wrote Sweet Child O'Mine's lyrics about Erin). Not to be confused with the song meaning I had mentioned above, is Estranged video's story, where the end of the trilogy (other had mentioned it in other comments, so I will not repeat it) comes into play. Yes, the dolphins are beautiful, and also a confusing part of the video, but I think Axl wanted the dolphins to be a part of it. Another reason why I love the song, is that Axl wrote Estranged on the piano, and the band later translated it into other instruments, as well.

[@TheBrugdor]

My favorite GnR song.

[@FabricioAlmeida-h3o]

Parabéns pelo react essa música é muito boa uma obra de arte

[@SilentBob731]

One of my all-time favourite songs, and as far as I'm concerned, there are not many greater moments in Musical History than what kicks off at 3:15 🤘

[@ronsuper100]

Dolphins are both a symbol of love and healing. Some ancient Greeks believed that dolphins carried the souls of the dead to the heavens. This song was about Axl's ex fiance, Stephanie Seymour. The young boy in the video was her son, whom Axl was close to.

[@ОгнянАнгелов-е5ж]

The very best of Guns and roses 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊1995

[@pressman1788]

Thank you Bisscute. Love your reactions. Always loved this song and the comments you make and your beautiful accent always make these reactions interesting and fun.

[@douglasleavitt3532]

Nothing ‘cooler’ than Slash coming out of the water!

[@Boa_Omega]

oh yes he dove into water. Not the ocean but a very lage water tank. The electric fans gave them the waves. And back in November Rain they used a helicopter to film Slash's solo. Epic mini movie when you play it together.

[@JohnSmith-zl8rz]

again, nothing beats 90s videos, pure art!

[@Jacks-Revenge]

Ok, I can’t wait for this one.

[@romuloalmeida4801]

Greatest GNR song ever.

[@javierruizcueto2389]

The title, Charlie Don’t Surf, is a famous line from the film Apocalypse Now which one of the characters uses as a battle cry. Charlie was the name used by the Americans to refer to the opposing Vietnamese side during the Vietnam War. As well as Charlie Manson, whom has died so he can't surf either.

[@adi-ndr]

well, Slash is cool because he is Slash 😉✌🏼

[@isaacgonzalez9354]

You're right, Charles Manson's face is in Axl's t-shirt. In fact Guns and Roses include in spaghetti incident album a song called Look at your game wrote by Charles Manson.

[@Alvaraikos]

My favorite Guns N´Roses song and video so far. Love this song so much. Dolphins appear in this video because Axl loves them. That is a Charles Manson T-Shirt...!!!

[@Rapha_aguiar01]

This is my favorite song of GNR since ever .. thanks for your reaction pretty bisscute

[@ericgaudet5488]

Its the final song for the trilogy Estranged from Guns and Roses and Axl Rose calls this song his Masterpiece for the lyrics and Music. This song is about his life going up and younger Adult parts.

[@RolandDeschain1]

I still think that that last solo is the greatest guitar solo of all time.

[@christopherdial]

One of my favorites by GNR. Never seen a reaction to it before.

[@samusahlsten5948]

Great reaction as always. In my opinion this is one of the best songs of the GN'r. If not the best one. Can you do "You could be mine" please?

[@jackbiehle]

love it🐬

[@brandonedwards4517]

As I'm sure others will say in the comments This ties into a trilogy of songs- Part 1-Don't Cry Part 2-November Rain Part 3-Estranged

[@МихаилШалаев-ы3з]

Мы спасём любого, кто в беде! Дельфины нам в помощь! Спасибо за песню! Спасибо за репортаж! Хорошего всем настроения!❤

[@joeerrington6657]

Bisscute you are right Slash is very cool

[@dondominicoseliga8723]

This song is a masterpiece for me!

[@LN-Lifer]

This song is about accepting unrequited love Whereas November Rain was denial of it

[@noprobsok]

Its nice to know she has no clue of this song. Its a deep song. Absolutely tremendous and very raw.

[@andreasnordin9023]

What a great piece of ART

[@albertomagana6577]

Hello Bisscute. I understand that Axl wrote this song about who he is and how he felt about the breakup of his marriage and how he didn't want it to end. I also understand that Axl also introduced the link between Estranged and November Rain, where November Rain would be a song about not wanting to be in a state of having to deal with unrequited love and Estranged for its part is about recognizing it and being there, and having I have to figure out what the hell to do. According to the singer, dolphins symbolize a state of grace and peace. Later in the video, Axl throws himself into the sea, in a moment of desperation and fed up with everything that is happening in his life. Greetings and a hug from Mexico City and continue presenting us interesting material.

[@pchirp1091]

Thanks for the vid. Love this song, and really enjoyed watching your first time reaction to it

[@leofrsilvaSound]

Really a great song, end of trilogy (Don't Cry - November Rain - Estranged), and this way a perfect MTV videoclip in 90's. In this truth, this song had less reproduction in that time was so longer by the radios (this song had 3 minutes more than November Rain for example), so did less commercial success, but this was and is a marvelous rock song. thank you Biss!!!!!!

[@Nopper23]

Didnt they also have planned to do a fourth video with this big production that was cancelled in the end or do i remember wrong?

[@МихаилМедведев-м9р]

Slash is the coolest guitarist in the world... There are many cool guitarists - but he is the embodiment of rock and roll just by his appearance and life.

[@fredvelez7703]

Love your reactions. You have a great sense of humor and you use it well to react to these vids. Good stuff! as always.

[@Chazin21]

Great song love so much ❤️

[@jonatanalvaro8554]

Gunsss!!!! 🤘🤘🤘 Nice..

[@carlhdz8201]

8:43 yes he jumped, no doubles, just himself

[@ericgaudet5488]

Yes that Charles Manson on Axl Rose t- shirt in the video . Plus one of this songs he wrote was going to be bonus song on one of there albums.

[@jotfco]

One of the best music videos and best gnr song of course...

[@scottfoote3099]

A complete masterpiece

[@ryanelder5315]

That guy on axels shirt is charles Manson a cult leather and cereal killer

[@IvanSergio1984]

Did you misspell on purpose? lol

[@stevefilley9765]

Because he's Slash, that's why. 😊

[@ryanmorgan7170]

You completed listening to the important highlights of G-N-R's double album Use Your Illusion. Don't You Cry, November Rain, and now Estranged. Both albums of Use Your Illusion were very important when they were released back in 1991. A rock n roll miracle happen that year when six music artists released albums that redefined the entire rock music genre and they became the beginning staples of what the rest of the 90's decade rock music would sound like. These albums from 1991 are... -Metallica's album Metallica (aka The Black Album -Pearl Jam's album Ten -Guns N Rose's albums Use Your Illusion 1 and Use Your Illusion 2 -Red Hot Chili Pepper's album Blood Sugar Sex Magick -Soundgarden's album Bad Motor Finger -Nirvana's album Nevermind As far as your question to 'why is Slash so cool? I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprise if it has to do with all the drugs that he use to do back then. In his autobiography book he admitted that the cross that he wore around his neck was a poison necklace. It was where he stored either cocaine or heroine in, and he would just pop the top off it whenever he wanted to take a hit. But that's just my guess of why he's perceived as cool.

[@Podolsky596]

Excellent reaction now you have my attention because it's my favorite band thank you I'm looking forward to more Guns songs 🔥🔥🔥🔥💚💛❤️Good vibes blessings beautiful.

[@YesJustTia]

The feedback effect of that guitar always send my soul to heaven 🥵

[@XPilileX]

context...this song is the continuation of November Rain and November Rain is the continuation of Don't Cry... the trilogy is complete, based on the short story "without you" from the book "The Language Of Fear"... axl mentions the title of the story "without you" in this song...

[@rafaelmorales3448]

This Is their Best song ever

[@Skunz]

Charles Manson is on his T shirt. Best guns and roses track ever! ❤

[@davebonilla4561]

LOL at the reaction to the dolphin at the end.

[@VanzyNhO2009]

More react to Guns N' Roses 🥰 React to Civil War - Paris 1992

[@tedfebo1741]

Slash was born cool.

[@Original_Pepe_Pupu]

The face on Axl’s t-shirt is of Charles Manson, an Anerican singer-songwriter. His song “In your music mind” is mind-blowing.

[@gustavodb20]

Black Label Society - In This River (live doom troopin) 🔥 🔥 🔥 you wont regreat!!!

[@drjag1155]

This song is fantastic ! The lyrics are awesome 🙏

[@glennfreyvasquez1243]

The best GN'R song.

[@stevepool8034]

Yeah, Biss, estranged is a typical term used when a couple or friends are no longer getting along, the love has gone or just general angst between the two. My recommendation this week is Amigo Apaixonado by Victor e Leo.💕

[@connexionnature4583]

This type of very strong composition, without Slash it would be very empty. It's the addition of the work of the band all this years who made it possible.

[@alejandroferrer7237]

"You probably were" 🤣

[@_gracjanooo_4390]

During the recording of the music video for "Estranged", Axl said that he no longer wanted any women in the video. And because he likes dolphins, he wanted to have dolphins. ;)

[@feyblacklife2896]

Excellent great the legend band enjoy beautiful Bisscute 👍🤘❤

[@garzadanail9411]

Ho yeah GNR I always like it 😊

[@mpmlopes]

"Talking to myself and nobody's home", he's estranged from himself.

[@Republic3D]

Fun fact: The Rescue helicopter is a "Eurocopter MH-65 Dolphin". I think Axl likes dolphins.

[@robertgriffith3139]

Estranged is the final song in a trilogy that involves Don't Cry and November Rain.

[@Vermilioni]

Yes that is a Manson on hes shirt and they even recorded one of hes songs in spaghetti incident album

[@jasonspencer1967]

Hi Bisscute! If you only had a chance to see GnR live. A highlight in my life seeing them live in many few city's. I never wanted to miss these guys. 🤟✌️💪 appreciate your lovely reaction.

[@jesuscristo6393]

❤❤❤
