Guns N' Roses - Paradise City (Official Music Video) | First Time Reaction

[@WhatsUpDoc1379]

This is one of the biggest and best albums of all time. The whole record is 🔥

[@bobmoretti4893]

THAT, my friends, is the voice of a genuine ROCK STAR! Nobody sounds like Axl Rose!!

[@davenewman1970]

You nailed it. The bands then did it because they loved it. The bands today are a far cry from then.

[@cbr1517]

If you haven't already heard about Liliac, I would like to suggest them. They are a young band that knows how to rock!

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

@@cbr1517 While ofc many new bands also have that same passion I feel like capitalism has gotten in the way of their success. Quick and easy songs with a nice chorus are much cheaper to mass produce :( Well, one of many reasons.

[@philiphalpin1997]

I was in the crowd of the second half of this video, filmed at Castle Donington, England.

[@kendakins698]

36 yrs later an it's still my favorite album of all times. An my favorite band of all times.

[@TheGreat_Kramer1]

I 'm an Illusion guy but same.

[@regnetexitium2247]

Banger after banger. Top album!

[@matthewgoodA1206]

This band was a juggernaut in their prime. I think lyrically this has to be one of the most classic choruses in rock. And the lead singer, Axl Rose, definitely has one of the most standout voices in the genre. He typically sings in a very high register, but actually has a super-wide overall vocal range. This was the late 1980s when high male voices were the rock music norm. There’s a lot of great songs in their catalogue.

[@tragicdeyz2641]

I feel strongly they had a lot more in them if they'd kept it all together. Like a band you could mention with the all time greats.

[@kerenolivero7097]

@@tragicdeyz2641, I respectfully disagree. While GnR's classic line-up did not survive (so we will never know if they could/ would have released more albums together...maybe things would have been worse for them, had they stayed together?? we just do not know), the band itself did survive with different line-ups. They still tour, they are tight, happy & very successful, to this day. To me, they are & always will be one of the greats :)

[@inflame-yK2]

The greatest

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

theyre still a juggernaut imo. Yet to find anything better

[@petenieto1575]

It’s never too late! I love your energy 😍. There are so many from GNR. November Rain, Mr. Brownstone, Don’t Cry, Rocket Queen, Welcome To The Jungle, Estranged, You Could Be Mine, Civil War, many more.

[@kensternation]

Axl Rose is the lead singer so yes in all the clips it is him, the rest of the band sings backup.

[@glenketchum6379]

Guns n Roses, has an Epic Trilogy, It starts with "Don't you Cry", then "November Rain" ending with "Estranged" Each of these songs are very powerful, together they are AMAZING!!!

[@nikkobellini]

[@joeduffy3309]

Estranged is a masterpiece

[@darrellthorpe7654]

You hit it right on the nail…music today and really, for the last 30 years is all about the stage show, and nothing about talent. Back in the day, it was all about actual talent…writing, singing, instruments and stage presence.

[@gabebolton4604]

I absolutely love watching people react to music I grew up listening to. My mom was a teen in the 70’s so these kind of bands are all we listened too. Love how everyone still loves Rock!

[@robertcook8331]

In their prime guns n roses was absolutely untouchable axl had one of the best voices in rock and roll history and slash solidified his status as a guitarist legend with the solos

[@BlakeHanback01]

Axl Rose the greatest frontman of all time. My favorite band of all time hands down.

[@kurbz31]

"Don't cry" "estranged" "November rain" "you could be mine" (excellent song) and the tough one for me is "sweet child of mine" reminds me of my one that got away.

[@matthewlee6168]

My favourite band of all time! I saw them live in Houston back in 1992--the best live show I have ever seen.

[@williammitchell1864]

I love Guns N' Roses, you're in for a real treat when it comes to Guns and Roses and it comes with a bit of a Kick!

[@ssombies]

One of my favorite bands.

[@ronnieallen6986]

I was in high School when this album came out with this song and I remember the video when it first aired on MTV back when all they showed was music videos in the 80's

[@TheRoc112]

You most certainly live in Paradise City!!!!! Loved It!!!

[@berthagen387]

Guns and roses came into the scene and immediately was a huge success. It was a movement.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Guns N' Roses were the most unlikely band from L.A. in 1987 to make it big... w/ 5 members who were homeless, reckless, jobless and struggling w/ drug and alcohol abuse... Their debut album was called 'Appetite for destruction' because Guns N' Roses had a reputation of wrecking everything when they played shows... But from 1987 to 1993, they became the biggest rock band in the world. And then, Guns N' Roses disappeared... For Guns N' Roses, lead singer W. Axl Rose was the rock star... lead guitarist Slash was a stellar guitar hero (he would play on Michael Jackson's 'Dangerous' album in 1991) ... The band came together after 2 kids from Indiana left home for Los Angeles to escape their abusive families... Izzy Stradlin (guitar) went first... then, his friend from school William 'Axl' Rose (lead vocals) joined him. The 2 joined the band Hollywood Rose, when Axl (and Izzy) first met guitarist Saul Hudson (aka 'Slash') ... In 1985, Axl and Izzy joined the band L.A. Guns feat. guitarist Tracii Guns and opted to rename the band Guns N' Roses... but months later, Axl fired Tracii Guns and replaced him w/ Slash (lead guitar) and Slash's friend Steven Adler (drums) joined as well w/ Duff McKagan (bass) rounding out the band. Guns N' Roses were a great band live, but were trouble on and offstage... drugs, fights, arrests, mayhem... were constant... but their music was really good, and by 1986, the band finally got signed to Geffen Records... They finished recording their debut album 'Appetite for destruction' and it was released in 1987 without much fanfare. However, in late 1987... MTV played their first music video 'Welcome to the jungle' and the requests for the single exploded... By mid-1988, they had the #1 selling album (it would sell 18 million copies in the US alone!) Guns released the EP 'GNR Lies' in 1988 w/ 4 acoustic songs, and it was another hit... but the band courted controversy w/ their rather explicit lyrics for the time... Despite their popularity, Guns N' Roses was still unstable and always on the verge of self-destruction. By 1989, they opted to clean up to get back to recording new music... Unfortunately, Steven Adler (drums) was unable to get clean from his drug abuse and his playing suffered in the studio... He was fired in 1990. Guns put every song they could on tape for what was to be 2 albums - "Use your illusion" Vol. I and II in 1991 w/ Matt Sorum (drums) and Dizzy Reed (keyboards) joining the band... Izzy and Duff contributed lead vocals to songs as well... That year, the 2 albums charted at #1 and #2 in the US and would sell 7 million copies each. However, the tour proved problematic... Axl Rose's erratic behavior would result in chaos, cancellations and even riots in 1991/ '92... Izzy Stradlin had enough and quit Guns in late 1991... Gilby Clarke (guitar) joined and appeared on Guns' music videos, but the band was spiraling w/ drug and alcohol abuse as they toured into 1993. They released a covers album 'The spaghetti incident?' that year... Unfortunately, Guns N' Roses could not get together to work on music or agree on anything... the band imploded by 1996 as both Slash and Matt Sorum were fired... Duff McKagan quit... There was just no Guns N' Roses for years. Axl Rose had demanded the rights to Guns N' Roses in 1991, so he was free to form a new Guns N' Roses going into 2000 and put together a cast of revolving musicians... After a long delay, Rose released the Guns N' Roses album 'Chinese democracy' in 2008, but without any original members, the Axl's Guns N' Roses struggled to regain their popularity. In 2016, Axl Rose finally made peace w/ Slash and Duff McKagan... they announced that Guns N' Roses would be touring on the 'Not in this Lifetime' world tour (Izzy Stradlin and Steven Adler were not asked back)... but they have yet to release any new music. Slash has recorded a number of albums since 1995 and also records & tours as a solo artist w/ Alter Bridge singer Myles Kennedy.

Rock bands were all about the band. The vocals were amazing but everyone in the band were incredible musicians.

[@jamesbutton2904]

I love seeing youngsters discover the music of my childhood - makes me smile when they realise just how damn good it all used to be.

[@InnaSoloMusic]

They are so good! 😃

[@nbrowser]

I was 11 when AFD hit the shelves...I still have it on disc and LP, it still gets played, this song is also the title track of the soundtrack to my fave video game ever, Burnout Paradise, this is the first song played whenever the game is launched. Always get's the blood flowing.

Fun Fact - Appetite for Destruction remains the ONLY album in the Top 25 of all time that is that bands debut album. This came out when I was a Senior in HS and it was AMAZING!!!

Guns & Roses - You Could Be Mine

[@charleswilliams6236]

Guns and Roses are like 80s Rock gods

[@BillyRocker4]

Rock is a way of Life...A Beautiful Life..Take me down to the Paradise City..where the grass is green and the girls are pretty...!! -))

[@catalickconverta6823]

You could be mine is a good song from guns n roses and so is mr brownstone good little tune

[@tlw5765]

The name of the guitarist in the band is Slash. he is an icon, he is a very very talented person, a master of improvisation and the vocalist axel rose is known for his incredible voice and behavior, one of the great frontmen. I strongly advise you to listen to other songs of this group, you will like them very much)) ex: Knockin' On Heaven's Door (The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert) or Guns N' Roses - Nightrain (Tokyo 1992) these are the songs on which there is only audio, so it's better to watch and listen to the live

[@chris882211]

Wow wish I was back in that time once again

[@robertstoner8244]

Music is like night and day from then till now. No comparison ❤

[@Gabriel_Moline]

5:24. Axle was unique and unreal! I hope someone cuts through the noise and belts like this complicated individual again! ☘️🌸🌺

[@Gabriel_Moline]

I’ll freely admit that Slash had a big part in that! Axle would not have been himself without Slash!

[@davidhoffman3560]

I LOVED THEM LIVE COREY IS ONE MOTHER FREAKING GIFTED KILLER SINGER

[@jonfazzone5125]

Great Song Great Band Axl a Frontman’s Frontman Slash is an Absolutely Amazing Guitarist. Duff has Killer Bass Lines & Backing Vocals. That’s Classic 70’s Hard Rock on Steroids. Great Vocals Great Musicianship

[@vals_loeder]

In the late 80s a friend of mine introduced me to GnR and I was sold immediately! For years I listened to their albums almost daily and I am still loving it nowadays. It is too bad I never managed to go to a live concert because I would have loved to be in that crowd when the played Paradise City. There are plenty of other GnR songs I consider very good: Welcome to the jungle, Sweet child of mine, Patience, You could be mine, November Rain, Mr. Brownstone ...

[@taylortyler1867]

"Estranged" is my personal favorite.

[@MarkSpark101]

New sub here!! I love gNr, so excited to hear more

[@terrynorman9622]

Love your genuine reaction! One of my all-time favorite bands. Axl Rose has an amazing vocal range of six octaves! and explosive energy on stage. He also can play bass guitar and piano. He is as good at playing piano as Slash playing guitar! Welcome to the Jungle, Estranged and November Rain is a few of my favorites.

[@chadwhite2277]

G N R Best rock band ever

[@ronaldleach9899]

Glad you enjoyed that, sweet child of mine is another good one. But then again they have alot of great tunes. ❤ And if you like that kinda song, you might check out Def Leppard . Even when their drummer lost his arm....they still rocked 🎶

[@ericmagee6771]

another great song from g n' r is sweet child o mine

[@douglasclore6244]

Good choice. Welcome to the jungle is my favorite

[@InnaSoloMusic]

Thank you very much!

[@_eclipz_]

Takes me back to my teens :)

[@RGMyers24]

You are right. The first part was filmed at Giants Stadium🏟 in New Jersey, USA. The second part was filmed at the Monsters of Rock festival at Donington Park in England. Axl, the singer, has always had a fixation with constantly changing clothes.

[@angelalonso6142]

My favorite song You're Crazy very good

[@luislq17]

Nice video

[@roysekii8730]

This song became important to me in '90 after having been through both of the US military operations in Panama, Paradise City to me is... Panama City where the grass was always green and the girls were very pretty :>)

[@douglasclore6244]

Good choice Welcome to the jungle is my favorite

[@RaymondJonesrejlive]

I know what you mean when you cant remember if you have heard a band before. I worked at Food Lion back in 1992 and I didnt know who GNR was but the music sounded familiar when I hear cars passing by in the parking lot I hear Sweet Child O' Mine. Funny thing was I had their original single tape of Dont cry with the alt lyrics on the other side and didnt even realize it was GNR.

[@beckybarnes4651]

You are correct, they don't make em like this anymore.

[@arnoldcox9128]

If you're tired this song will wake you up

[@danielhintermayr4354]

If you`re new to GnR, I think the best next song to react to, will be "Sweet Child o`Mine". I saw the band two times at a live performance. First time in the early 90s and last time in 2017. They are absolutely phenomenal on stage! They performed nearly 3 hours!!! So if you have the chance to join a concert of them, you absolutely have to!

[@ericgaudet5488]

Great job with your reaction and thoughts on the song and Video for Paradise City from Guns and Roses the video is from one of there concerts from Gaint Stadium in East Rutherford NJ . & The Vocals and instruments are from the Album Appreciate For Destruction.

[@ivanhudsonrose1921]

I love you Inna❤

[@shmupperfromhell]

Great tune for sure, but one of my fave times when Slash goes off!

[@tupecktherappingparrot4345]

Your reaction is great! Welcome new fan. So when this song came out Axl was just heading to LA after having grown up in a church choir, where he thought it would be like paradise city but when he got there it was more like Welcome to the Jungle and a bit of a culture shock for him. That’s why those 2 songs happened. I share about some others on my channel a now deceased beloved friend helped on with the General Chicken boys. I add a bit of context to the era of music, the cultural impact their songs had… like did you know Nightrain ended up symbolizing helping others and people amidst a nationwide youth homeless crisis in the 90’s organized feed the homeless days where they played this song while they handed out food? So many times their songs had such big impacts that did so much good for the world. Scraped taught women admits a homeless crisis it was ok to say no. Anyhow loved your reaction. I’d still like to see people discussing what the song means, the different musical styles used in a song cuz gnr was a transitional band in an era hair bands had become formulaic and peeps were getting tired of it but weren’t quite ready and open enough for new things. Their diverse range in music opened listeners ears to new possibilities as they added blues, classic rock, de*th metal, and this is why they’re credited with saving rock n roll. So when you discuss a song it’s good to research it and what it means and why it was written, and the understand cultural impact of the time. If I had any tips to give. But you did great and you’re fun to watch. And I love seeing fans discussing their music. Keep up the good work! Look forward to more of your reactions/reviews. Love your headphones too. Anyhow my parrot does the Axl snake dance over in my gnr stuff cuz turns out she’s the world’s biggest parrot fan. She even has her own Axl doll she kisses every night… she’s obsessed with his hair! 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ Lol can’t blame her. God bless.

Hi pretty Dina, this is the first time I watched your channel. Being a musician, songwriter and vocalist myself, I like to watch a lot of these different song reactions that a lot of people do. You had a very good reaction with yours. I also liked your Axl dance. The lead singers stage name is Axl Rose, so the dance that he does when he sings, I always call it the Axl dance. You were doing it after you saw him do it and you did a good job doing his dance. You were smooth. His real name is Bill Bailey (William Bailey). Great reaction!

[@cbr1517]

You mentioned how you like when musicians feel the music. If you haven't already heard about Liliac, I highly recommend them. They are a completely independent family band. They do covers of the classics...Metallica, Dio, Iron Maiden, Joan Jett, just to name a few. They also do their own originals. In fact they just released a new original called Carousel. I truly think you will love it

"Sweet Child O'Mine" or "Welcome to the Jungle' are my suggestions for your next GnR song review

[@Yvonlefebvre-i2i]

They play at Giants stadium the American football,🏈🏈

[@PatrickORourke-yz3xn]

Totally agree regarding your assessment of 70's and 80's rock. The only way to break through was to tour, play and try to stand out. Bands with exceptional front men, like most the bands you mentioned, rose to the top. The band as a whole just had to be decent and professional (to a certain extent). Then you have one or two exceptional guys driving the creative elements and you got G&R.

[@994pt4]

"Welcome to the Jungle" is next
