Guns N’ Roses - Welcome To The Jungle (Official Video) | REACTION 🔥🤘🔥 (Timi)

[@georgeglasser8220]

This song is specifically about his first experience trying to make it in L.A. The whole Hollywood scene.

[@patrickobrien5311]

ye "the jungle" is L.A.

[@thamojster]

the story is the first person thart talked to him when he got off the bus was welcome to the jungle, youre gonna die"

[@dialecticalmonist3405]

@@thamojster Makes sense. That's the vibe you feel in LA. It's humid. Everything is wild and scattered. You can't tell who or what is real or trustworthy. LA is the world's biggest popularity contest. Everybody is performing an act for somebody else. Even the homeless people are performers in LA.

“That was rock.” ...truth.

[@juniordaddyman]

Testify my brother!! I lived it!! GNR is my the truth!! Too bad modern music has became so cliche!!& lazy!! ALL GENRES!! Truth people!! DEMAND BETTER!!!

[@SkuIIKn1ght]

Yeah I felt that too lol, GNR was def the last great hard rock band, everything that came after that was mostly metal, alternative spin offs etc

[@slfan68]

Honestly, you probably haven't been asked to react to GNR because if others are like myself, it's hard to imagine somebody genuinely having never heard of them. At their peak they were one of, if not *the* most popular band in the world.

[@dialecticalmonist3405]

Yeah. It's like somebody saying, you should use a search engine called "Google". Or have you ever heard of Amazon? It was basically, Metallica, GnR and Nirvana. Those were the big three. No one has really come close to them since. It was a golden era, even with rap. After them, the boy bands arrived, R&B, gangster rap, and then individual pop stars took over.

[@pilargonzalez8442]

Oh Yessss

[@barryadcox2710]

For a couple years they were on top

[@jamile4768]

a few months ago I never heard them before, but that's probably because I am Brazilian and rock isn't popular here nowadays

[@cindymccomb4531]

I’m axl’s age and I had heard of them but it wasn’t my style of music so I didn’t listen to any of their music.. within the last 6 months, I’m realizing what I missed

[@waszil14]

Fun fact. When Axl got off the bus at 17, from Indiana, an older black man walked up to him and said "you look lost" he told him he was new to town and where he's from... the gentleman said "welcome to the jungle baby, your probably gonna die" that's where this song was born! 🔥

[@HIGHLANDER_ONLY_ONE]

❌️ I've listen to, and read about this several times, but they never mentioned the color of the old, homeless man. Seriously no one knows the race of the person. I don't think he thought it was important to mention ❌️

[@dogmom485]

This whole album was a killer. GNR is such a great band. What Axl can do with his voice is insane. The intro noise of this song is actually him singing. 🤘🏼

[@stratonicc2651]

crazy how many ppl think that they used recordings of police sirens, but no. thats axl. best vocalist in the history of rock!

[@carolcashes6527]

That look when you "get it"! Wonderful reaction to one of the anthems of my (distant!) youth.

[@drobichaud1000]

doesn't take much to "get" G&R. Ain't exactly Shakespeare.

Knocking on heaven's door live is a must from Guns and Roses

[@dawnsmith8754]

Excellent request!

[@josephhickman1306]

Yeah a good cover of Bon Dylan. 😃🤔😅😎

[@rabidwolf931]

I do enjoy the live version. Love the album version though. Tempo/beat, whatever it is, I'm not a musician, is slower. Allows you to absorb the song. Feel it. Sink into it. Just my opinion. I love their cover however it's played.

[@Gashouse69]

Yes that is rock. I was in high school when their debut album hit the record stores. It was 86'-87' and Top 40 hits hadn't included true rock in a decade when GnR came along and revived the genre.

[@jojobuggs1980]

"You Could Be Mine" !!!! It has footage from Terminator 2

[@dcinsc]

It was more specifically about Los Angeles when Axl first got there.

[@justpassingthrough3657]

GNR anything from their welcome to the jungle album is pretty lit. Mr. Brownstone and Rocket Queen are my 2 that get overlooked a lot. My bad appetite for destruction album. Brain fart, but I’m getting old and tired

[@Ando2k10]

I still remember when I first got the album, shortly after this video first aired on MTV's Headbanger's Ball. The first listen through was amazing, every song was really good and could have been "the big single" that is used to sell most albums.

[@Iamsmallfry]

YES! THIS.

[@wodm]

The whole Appetite album is fire tbh

[@gesmith98]

Unstoppable from front to back!

[@jimmybeast-vt9ji]

Greatest band on this rock. Ever!! U should listen to Use Your Illusion 1& 2 on ur own. There will never be another Axl Rose!!!

[@wes3136]

Original band members Axl Rose on vocals, one of the best ever! Slash on lead guitar, one of the best ever! Duff McKagan on bass, Izzy Stradlin on rhythm guitar and Steven Adler on drums. They changed a few members over the years but the core is Axl, Slash and Duff. I suggest " Mr. Brownstone " or "its so easy " or " Nightrain " off of their first album and you should probably do " sweet child o mine " then move on to their other albums. They were only together a short time but put out 5 albums as a whole, Axl put out one on 2008 with a whole new bunch of guys, still called guns n roses but it wasn't the same. The main 3 got back together a few years back and have been touring around the world. Hoping for new music someday!

[@dialecticalmonist3405]

Guns and Roses is so legendary it's easy to forget to mention them. It was basically Metallica, GnR, and Nirvana. Those were the legendary bands of the late 80's and early 90's. People would just assume you have heard it before.

[@devildoc4257]

You forgot AC/DC and van Halen.

[@shmacme518]

Wow you took me back. Slash still looks cool as hell.

[@edwardtomlinson]

I’ve seen Guns N’ Roses live three times The second time I seen them the very next day I was at the gym and axle and slash was there working out but you couldn’t get close to them but I did get axle flip me off True story

[@bsbznumber1fan]

The dance he was doing is called "The Axl" and i agree you need to do a reaction to November rain and slash the guitarist he does a lit af guitar solo on that one whoo! Steven Adler was the drummer and one hell of a drummer too. His book was off the hook it was dope. I borrowed it from a friend years and years ago and loved it so much i bought it. Actually it's funny you do a guns n roses 🌹 song cuz it just so happens I'm rockin my G-N-R shirt today huge fan of the band have been since i was a teenage girl. I thought axl was so hot. And he's gotta one hell of a voice too. Knockin on heavens door and Don't cry are 2 other ones to check out as well. I'm a huge fan of 80s rock and metal. But yes November Rain is a must i want to see your facial reaction when slash does his phenomenal guitar solo i love your reactions they are so real and you're honest to i really like that. Alex hefner is the only other reaction channel besides this one that i love and ken tamplin but he's a vocal coach and one hell of a vocal coach too who does awesome reactions. A shout out to all my LFR Fam hope y'all are staying safe and i hope y'all have a good night✌💜

[@chrisd7047]

I wouldn't go THAT far, but there's an argument to be made that they're the greatest *American* rock band ever.

[@dialecticalmonist3405]

Metallica, GnR and Nirvana. That was the big three. Famous around the world. Nothing will ever come close replicating them. Everything now is about individual pop stars.

[@PHILPOP2]

GNR's are a perfect example of how Brilliance is the domain of the young, small window in life and they smashed it.

[@mistique77]

Just before 6:42 when Axl says "you know where you are?!, You're in the jungle baby!, You're gonna DIE!!" That came from when he first got off the bus he said that a older African American guy came up to him and said those exact words to him as soon as he arrived in LA!!😉😁

This right here for ever changed music the first time this played on mtv and even rock legends will agree … no one ever hearted a scream like that before

[@cozenw3236]

There’s a more recent video of him singing... and his singing is so unrecognizable. You’d never guess it was him. It’s shocking. Like the line, “You can have anything you want but you cannot take it from me.” Song also include “Sweet Child of Mine” and “Paradise City.”

[@janes.1559]

Theres a great doc on youtube... Slash raised on Sunset Strip, really great background on the whole LA rock scene in the 80s, and Slash was a child on it. His dad is a artist who did many lp covers, his mom was an amazing fashion stylist to the greats from Bowie to Janet Jackson. Slash and his brother (Ash, big in the art/ design side of rap) were these bohemian kids running loose, with their big afros just soaking up the scene.

[@Xequio]

Appetite album got so many great songs. My Michelle. Think About You. Mr. Brownstone. Its so Easy

[@fredfredburger5150]

Guns n' Roses were *huge* back in the late 80's/early 90's but that was 25 years (and about 4 generations of rock music) ago. Maybe that's why you haven't heard them or been asked to react to their music. You could react to anyone of the following and not go wrong "Paradise City", "Sweet Child O' Mine", "November Rain", "Civil War", "Live And Let Die", "Don't Cry", "Garden of Eden", "You Could Be Mine"...or just go listen to this great band for your own amusement!

Dude, your interpretation of this 33 year old (at the time) song, after a first listen, on the fly, is a pretty good one. This is the one that brought me here last summer. Back again.

[@rosieazatyan5923]

You’re 1/2 right. He’s talking about the “Hollywood Entertainment Industry” Axl Rose started Guns N Roses and in 1987-1988 they when this single premiered it took ‘Rock Music’ by storm and they dominated all other rock bands. Back in 87 every song and video they released would be #1 in every programming segment. It was played 10-15x a day god knows how many times when I was sleeping or at school. Back then MTV played videos because every program was about music-artists- unlike where it’s 16 and pregnant ridiculousness or jersey shore.

[@lueysixty-six7300]

He's talking about moving to the big city: LA.

[@HalSchirmer]

Decades ago I worked with a Naval master chief, this came on the radio and he mentioned that after Noriega/Panama, this song replaced "Ride of the Valkyries" as the unofficial chopper "Friendlies: Get--Cover-&-Get-Your-Passport-You-Are-Outta-Here" / "Unfriendlys Get-Out " announcement for overseas heli-evac operations.

In the 80's we called the male group's hairbands, the guys had more hair than most female artists of the '80s, the videos might not always make sense but the music was just incredible. Even heavy metal bands did slow ballads check out Motley Crue Home Sweet Home

[@borumir]

This Video has been up awhile so someone probably mentioned this, but it wasn't about the world it was about LA, that is why it showed him getting off the bus in the beginning, it was sort of based off his own experience coming from the middle of nowhere in Indiana and getting off a bus in downtown LA.

[@Frostrazor]

"That was rock!" FACTS!!! To think that was their FIRST hit - their first album - which doesn't have a bad song on it. Not life in general - but does seem to apply the song is more about trying to live in a big city; specifically his first experience visiting and trying to acclimate to living in L.A. (he was from small midwest town).
