This was when Axyl was almost the best frontman ever! He was so close to being bigger then Freddy and them but he became a diva and stopped trying!

Please react Denden Gonzales cover this song bro...🇮🇩

[@donalddailey2190]

That opening riff and scream scared the mess out of the glam rock crowd. The smart ones knew their time was up.

[@cjen1959]

Arguably the greatest opening track to a debut album ever…

[@travisanddottieallred6315]

Hell that opening howl was enough to make guns n' roses the greatest band ever for me. I kid you not before even finished. I looked over at my best friend and said this is the greatest band ever I have believed it ever since that day

[@TerryGChavez]

WOW; HOW BUT HOW THAT YOUNGER GENERATION FORGETS SO EASILY; BOSTON'S "1st"!? Album WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREATEST DEBUT ALBUM "EVER". MIC DROP

It gets my vote. Still remember putting that vinyl on for the first time and having my tiny mind blown.

[@steveyork8069]

@@TerryGChavezI was around for both I’ll take GNR over Boston any day.Appetite for Destruction went number one in a year Boston never went number one.Boston been out 11 years longer and still only sold half as many copies.GNRs debut album produced a number one single Bostons only number one single came off their third album not from their debut album.Finally Bostons band ranking is 285 GNR is 118 neither is something to brag about.

When I heard this song on the radio for the first time as a teen I was like WTF! I absolutely hated it and couldn't fathom how people could like it. But I recently watched it and now that I saw him move and also understand the lyrics, I actually enjoy it. The guy's so cool and the lyrics are awesome.

[@purplebeard1526]

The story was when he arrived in LA for the first time the first person he met fresh off the bus told him "welcome to the jungle, you're gonna die". GNR really had a lot of songs about the down and dirty side of LA from the metal head's side of things...

[@jonlandin2440]

That did happen; but it was in New York. Axl wrote the song later and it is about L.A.

[@laurarodriguz1141]

I remember the moment that this song premiered on MTV! I was in my house with MTV on in the background and I was 21 years old. This song hit and I stopped what I was doing and turned up the T.V. and then I called my mom and asked her "are you listening to this?!!!!?" Both of us watched while on the phone with each other and we were instantly fans of Guns n Roses!!!!!!! The 80s. What a time to be alive!!!!

[@cherokeegirl47]

Best intro to a song EVER!🎸🎸🎸💃💃💃 Also, when this song was released back in the 80s, I didn’t understand what it meant. I was in the 7th grade! I just knew I loved it! However, now….WOW. I definitely understand it. 🤯

I remember the first time I heard this live in concert.., The crowd went OFF!!! 🤘😜🤘

[@jeanstrickland2445]

Now this is my kind of music 😁

[@dougclark7077]

For those of you who remember when VH1 played music videos, they did a countdown of the 100 greatest hard rock and heavy metal videos. This ranked #1 on that list. Absolutely my favorite GNR song!

[@claudettesmith8328]

Even on MTV they only played it at 1 or2 am hoplng it wouldn't hit at first. Being their first single off their debut album. Wrong! Because who is up at that time watching? Young people Ha ha. "Appitite For Destruction/ title, became one of the highest selling debut albums ever!

[@nataliestclair6176]

I must have watched about 25 to 30 people's reaction to this song and yours has been the best one. You are the only one who got it and what it was about. All the others I have seen looked for more deeper meanings to "The Jungle" and what it meant, most thinking it meant to world in general and GNR was making a statement about how messed up world is etc. Sometimes lyrics are just lyrics and just mean smuch simpler things and not trying to make a statement about anything. Even in some of the best songs. The Beatles Helter Skelter was just about a kids slide in a park, Steffen Wolfes song Magic Carpet Ride was just about a guy who bought a new HI Fii stereo system etc. Thanks for you reaction and pointing out that Welcome to the Jungle is about the dark side of the city of LA and GNR was not trying to make some political statement on how messed up the world is.

[@garysuarez9614]

They had a rock solid rhythm section with a lot of presence for that era. You may want to check out "Mr. Brownstone " for a different groove by the same band.

[@user-zd1oc3pz8s]

[@chrisbeloff6689]

I remember watching this video when it first came out, and my buddy turned to me and said, "This is going to be one of the biggest bands ever." Boy was he right.

[@todallard8791]

They self imploded just as fast as the exploded.

[@LN-Lifer]

By the time this video came out I had already worn out my cassette and everyone I knew was sick of hearing me say the same thing Because months before I was at my best bud's (RIP) house and his uncle came to visit He walked in the door, tossed my friend the unwrapped tape and says "Check this out, I don't know who they are but the cover looked cool so I bought it" We popped it in and Before Axl even finished the opening howl I looked at my friend and said "This is the greatest band ever" And I've never changed my mind since And I wasn't even upset that they blew up (you know like Korn fans) because I had been talking about them so much that everyone remembered and gave me credit....Lol I was 10 years old so that was a big deal you know

[@ken2936]

One hit album, and you think they're one of the biggest bands ever? Only a few of the songs on it were good, and they never recorded anything close to their first. I could name tons of bands far better than they could ever be.

[@LN-Lifer]

@@ken2936 You're f****** insane Use your Illusions 1 and 2 were on pace to blow even AFD away until that Nirvana garbage dropped I was telling everyone then that long after that pretentious fake Cobain was dead and gone GNR would still be rockin and they are. Now while you may not think many of the songs on appetite are that great. That's just your opinion and considering you are in such a minority in that opinion. Well, you don't know what the f*** you're talking about

[@LN-Lifer]

@@ken2936 But hey, you're welcome to that opinion I think hotel California and Sweet Home Alabama are two of the most boring songs ever written... But I also know they must be great because the masses have spoken. I promise you for every person that feels the way about AFD there are a thousand who would say there's not a bad song on that album?

I still remember when this song blew up, it was a great time. We lived in Hollywood for a few months in the early 70's. All I remember is my parents wouldn't allow us to leave the apartment complex and we were out of there fast and my parents were as serious as I ever saw them. I was so happy to move out of there.

[@robertmiles2735]

The song is VERY much the smae theme as Hotel Californa with talking about coming to the city and all the dark things you can get into/lost in.

One of my favorite songs of theirs along with welcome to the jungle, patience, civil war, sympathy for the devil, November rain

[@user-zd1oc3pz8s]

For me welcome to the jungle. Its so easy. Pretty tied up and yesterday.

[@carolcortez8716]

Sympathy for the devil is not gnr

[@tritosac]

The song describes living in a notoriously dangerous high crime part of L.A. Yet despite the message the song conveys those times seemed to be so much happier. The 80's was truly a special decade.

[@fasterman3]

my photos of Guns N Roses have been published all over the world in major publications such as Rolling Stone, and The New York Times. Plus they are in several documentaries on VH-1 and MTV.

I was hanging out in LA one day visiting graves of celebrities and my last stop was Holy Cross by LAX. After that I was headed to the house of an old high school friend and entered her address into my navigation system. As I was driving it said "in two miles turn left on Crenshaw Avenue" and instantly I was like "nope" and changed direction so it would give me a new route.

Once and sometimes twice a month I used to go to the ice making and delivery factory. The first time I went I was given the address and told that it was right off the 91 freeway. I took the proper exit and I was greeted by a sign that says Welcome to Compton ! After I soiled myself and finally getting the right direction all was well... The drive back to the central coast was relaxing after I changed my garments.

[@aliwantizu]

When work goes off the rails, we say it's a "$h!t show." On one of those times, I played this song from my phone and changed the lyrics to the following (the person's name has been changed, but it was the Manager on Duty who is my friend, so I was poking fun at her as well as trying to lighten the mood of our coworkers.) "Welcome to the $h!t show, It's not fun and games, Everyone is all pi$$ed off, and Karen is to blame..." Everyone laughed, and it helped get us all out of the funk we'd been mired in. Thanks for sharing!

Many rockers wrote beautiful love songs, Axl wrote This I love, I have not seen one reaction for this song, not one, you would be the first! Would you also react to I Still love you KISS MTV unplugged 1991. Apparently Paul Stanley wrote this song after learning from the news his girlfriend was getting married to an actor. Here again, not many reactors have done this one and I don't understand why! Thanks, it is nice to see you back keeping great music alive.😊

@@gerardroll6468 Gotcha! The main reason it stands out to me is that '80s GNR was a very different band than '90s GNR. That raw energy they had wasn't there anymore.
