First Time hearing Paradise City - Guns N Roses | " Rock Music " Reaction

[@MB-oc1nw]

The second part of the video was filmed at the Castle Donington Festival in England in 1988 bands on the bill were Halloween, Guns N Roses, Megadeth, David Lee Roth, Kiss and Iron Maiden headlined

[@michellekrehl7469]

I gave slash the T-shirt he wears in much of this video. It says “hard cock cafe- hell” on it when in Rockford in 88. I got to hang out with him for a while and watched that show from backstage. I was so surprised to see the shirt in this video later. He also wears it in a video in an interview in a home video. I thought that was so cool.

Black & White footage is from Monsters of Rock Festival UK (1988) They came on early afternoon ( they were a newish band.) See the crowd going crazy.? There was a terrible crush. 2 people died in it. A fantastic day, spoiled by something so sad. I was there..

[@danielesemenzato1754]

2nd part of the video was shot at Donington Monsters of Rock festival in August 88. More than 100.000 people were. I was in front and it was terrible. 2 kids died while G'n'R were performing and about 200 got injured. Never been toan open air ever since.

Slash is always a 10! But on November Rain, well you can't even rate that it's just perfection.

[@odbear100]

Just for context.....the colour part is a US concert, the black and white is the Monsters Of Rock festival at Donington UK in 1988. Sadly the ground became muddy and 2 fans who flew from Brazil to be there died from crush injuries resulting in the 1989 event being cancelled until the venue was made more secure.

[@carolynlyfordsullivan1377]

When I was young I went to several rock concerts . It was something people did frequently . Tickets were not expensive and concerts were not controlled .

I was at a huge concert in Illinois for the appetite for destruction tour. I also saw them just a couple years ago and they rocked out for 3+ hours. Slash Is unbelievable, the whole band was great and axl was awesome. So fun to watch you react to it!

[@christopherwashburn8163]

I saw them when they were touring with Metallica and Faith No More back in 92. They were primarily doing songs from another album, but they did some favorites from Appetite for Destruction as well. Packed stadium, killer, just killer!

[@srushtimishra111]

They filmed this at the Donnington festival UK where two fans were crushed by the reckless crowd. This deeply affected Axl Rose which is one of the reasons why Axl would stop shows midway & have confrontation when he found any ruckus going on in the crowd in further tours.

[@RixxCNC]

The second half of that Video was filmed at Donington UK, Monsters of Rock festival in 1988, it was my first concert and the Guns n Roses Debut appearance.I was right there in the crowd and i was hooked right there and then. Absolutely fantastic. Sadly two fans died in the crush.

[@jorgemartinbg]

Yes it was a simpler time..... I wish we got along more through music....

[@JohnHazelwood58]

Yeah, I've been to stadium-concerts a lot. I even saw GNR live when they played at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. There were all kind of bands and artists - from Paul Young to Metallica, Black Sabbath, The Who (Roger Daltrey), etc... As I am into music for over 30 years, be sure I seen thousands of concerts - and yes, some where in stadiums (Roling Stones, Pink Floyd, Robbie Wiliams, Queen+, and so on)

[@arnoldjones]

I believe they were supporting Aeorsmith in he first part of the video. In the second half they were at Donington 1988 in UK, second on the bill. By the time of the gig they were the biggest rock/metal band in the world and could have headlined. Two people died in the crush.

[@ratowey]

The concert was shot in two different places. The first part was shot in the Giants stadium in New York, the second part @6:57 was in Donington Park in the Uk at the Monsters Of Rock festival (Now called Download). I was at the Donington part on 28th August 1988. Where you stopped the video @7:12 I was dead centre but level with the lighting and mixing desk that is on the platform on the top lefthand side. It looks like this was the back of the venue but it was in the middle, there are more people behind me than you can see on here. There were 107,000 people in attendance, sadly two lost their lives being crushed in the front. The full festival lineup was Iron Maiden David Lee Roth Megadeth Guns N' Roses Helloween

[@leeknott2171]

The live footage in colour is from when they opened for Aerosmith in 88 and the B&W footage is from Donnington Park Monsters of Rock in England where sadly 2 fans lost their lives during GN’R set.

There are guitarists who are excellent. There are guitarists who could be considered geniuses or virtuosos. Then there is the type of guitarist who demonstrates such an uncanny level of skill - such a prodigious amount of talent - that you think that he is not human. This sort of guitarist is on such a level, with his creativity and dexterity, that he makes you reevaluate your worth as a human being. Luca Stricagnoli is that type of guitarist.

An interesting side note about Slash, during probably b75-80% of their reign Slash was passed out shit faced drunk the whole time he was on stage playing all of those kick ass riffs!! He was for all intent and purpose in a Jack Daniels induced coma on stage most of the time and still knocked it out of the park everytime!!

Axl 's voice is amazing, this is a studio recording, although live footage, and pretty much EVERY voice you hear, is Axl, ..and is there really any better guitar player than Slash ????

[@LA-fz5qw]

I don’t know where this was filmed but I’ve seen them five times Back in the day and twice at the Sullivan Stadium the old patriots stadium in Massachusetts. Edit it to say I just looked it up and this was filmed at giant stadium when they were opening for Aerosmith in 1988 so yeah I definitely saw this tour twice

[@Jim-zv7jv]

Saw them open for Aerosmith in 1988 at Great Woods (will always be Great Woods for me). Saw them at Foxboro Stadium in 92 with Metallica, I think prior to the 2016 reunion show that was their only show in Foxboro... Their other 1988 show in Boston was at the Orpheum, they played the Paradise in 1987. Then it was Worcester in 91 and the Garden on St Pats day in 1993.

I’m just saying 1987 one of the greatest times to be alive Guns and Roses 🌹 one of the greatest rock bands ever! Very pivotal also, due to the grunge music taking over shortly after this appetite for destruction blew all kinds of records. Was a very big time in the music world. Last great rock band.

The color video was taken at Giants Stadium, while black & white video was from Donnington in England. Those English festivals, like Donnington, are usually in a big field somewhere with multiple large bands playing throughout the day, and can have a few hundred thousand people in attendance.

That was an amazing time growing up and to be honest, this was about 35 years ago right here! I got to see them in concert when they opened for Motley Crue and I think that was in '87! Not this one you're showing tho! I wish I coulda been to this one here!

I saw them back in the later 80’s at Giants Stadium where this was filmed, but I wasn’t at this particular show. Saw them a few years back when they got back together. They were great then and now. Slash is 1 of the best guitarists that ever was, is, and always will be! Sweet Child of Mine, November Rain, Rocket Queen, Night Train, and the list goes on and on for guitar solos.The 80’s rock concerts were a different type of animal. It was the decade of excess! For the top bands, the stadiums were always like this. It was a really fun decade!! That’s why my satellite radio is always on channel 39, Hair Nation!!
