Guns N Roses - Get In The Ring | " Rock Music " Reaction

[@tornicade]

This was the rock version of a diss song

[@brianl8481]

Instead of other rockers, they were dissing the "journalists".

[@RogueBoyScout]

Wow. I remember when this song dropped. walking around as a 14yr old Aussie. Before i learned about all styles of music. This was the White version of F Da Police by NWA. in my neighbourhood in Australia.

[@brookedavis975]

Yasssss

[@SaintXero]

This song is about the press and media making up bogus stories and taking shots at the band. And as it says in the end, it is dedicated to all the GN'R fans that stuck with them through all they have been through. This is a rare song that calls out the specific music critics and their publications, as Axl mentions Andy Secher at Hit Parader, Mick Wall at Kerrang! and Bob Guccione Jr. at Spin. According to an article in The Washington Post, Guccione wrote a letter to Rose, stating he accepted the challenge (to "get in the ring") but no fight ever occurred.

[@jennrants44]

Yes I remember that!! I was 13 or 14 at that time and I actually believed that fight would happen one day.... and I was so ready for it lol Metal mags were horrible and very well know for making shit up and starting controversy with bands.... never made sense to me. Most bands do a very good job of starting or getting into controversies without any outside help lol G n R was and awesome band, still love them!!

[@kenhall6525]

Hit parader, Kerrang, circus magazine etc were rock n roll magazines from the 70's to early 2000's or so. Being a teen when Guns came out, it was an amazing fucken time, 1987-92 was the best block in music history !!!

Remember when i was a kid how cool i thought the chorus was with that creepy singer. Little did i know it was Alice Cooper. Today He/them are one of my favourite bands, at least the 70s albums

You’ll like “Outta Get Me” and “Don’t Damn Me”. The live version of “Outta Get Me” at the Ritz 1988 is insane

[@adamtuckley4964]

Back in the 80s and 90s GnRs were considerd and dangerous band and even tho they had a massive fan base certain magazines were doing interviews with the band and then changing some of the statments to make the band sound and seem evil and dangerous. So the band fought back .

[@roarsomemum5830]

i'm totally sending this reaction video to my child's 'popular music' teacher. she got a two week suspension for presenting the song to her year 8 class. (No Mr we dont need a ring, it probably was a tad sweary for school lol, but it started a lot of conversations, which is hugely important!) and yes, popular music is an elective subject here in my little Australian town, how cool is that!

[@KrisThroughGlass]

Great reaction! I'm happy that you chose that song, although it's not that famous. I remember listening to it when the album came out and I was still a teenager. We were all a little scandalized and a lot of impressed by this song. And we loved "our" band for it.

[@amypatton1439]

This type of music is what GnR is actually known for. They have really good, creative lyricism and a vicious delivery. This isn't their best song like this. Their jump off Appetite for Destruction delivers on the name, but if you only heard Sweet Child of Mine and Paradise City, you'd never know. They've always been pissed off at someone lol. It was great for the fans until they ended up hating each other. If you like this vibe, check out You Could Be Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, My Michelle, Nighttrain, Mr. Brownstone...

[@braveguide]

Never thought I would hear anyone call rock lyrics, "Bars"... but I LOVE IT 😆😆😆

[@blockswheelswaps]

They have some bars for sure. And btw Axl loved NWA. He even wanted to tour with them.

[@johnnndoeee6674]

Pleaseeeee do “ breakdown”, “out ta get me” or “yesterdays” next!!!!

[@thejackalsmith7329]

Glad you liked this song. I believe it has never been played live. It was very controversial when it came out. They don’t hold back.

[@blackstar6772]

Hit Parader and Circus Magazine: They printed fabricated interviews with GNR or compiled paraphrased quotes from other sources and presented them as if it were exclusives. Mick Wall at Kerrang: Not clear what the problem with him was. Maybe an interview with Axl where Axl's words were twisted. Bob Guccione Jr. at Spin: The accusation was that they printed lies about the band.

[@DoojimanAndTheExploders]

Love the fact he named dropped em in the song

[@woodscrafter1971]

Nice reaction my friend. You got it right away...GnR was still a real rock n roll band back then, and that didn't sit well with the press at the time as they did all they could to kill heavy rock and were in love with grunge. Before the internet, magazines were all we had to learn shit about the bands we loved. Circus, Hit Parader, Metal Maniacs, Kerrang, that was all we had and Axl let us know they were printing bullshit. My first introduction to media bias...Axl could be a real ass, but he was pretty blatantly honest and I think that's why we still love him.

[@meticulousgeek]

Axel is a madman. But he is a great madman. One of the best. GNR is epic, underestimated and misunderstood.

[@krispecore17]

When you here “ Get in the Ring” That was me and my girl at Saratoga Preforming Arts in NY-1992 ish-Axl said to sing it as loud we can-Get in the Ring! Get in the Ring!

[@uzi978]

What? The albums came out in late 1991.

[@olliestevens754]

Thats bullshit. That was crowds at a venue on their first stop on the uyi tour and they asked them to chant it as loud as possible to put on the song. This was since the albums weren't finished yet since axl fired the mixer therefore weren't finished in time

[@Nickel138]

This is the real guns n roses. Fuck all that Sweet Child O’ Mine pop bullshit. They just did that to make money. Guns N’ Roses all fucked models, did more drugs than you can imagine, got in fights with the crowd, got in fights with other bands. They were fucking ruthless. More gangster than half these gangster rappers. Listen to “it’s so easy”, and watch the uncensored video if you’re brave enough. So, back in the day you had metal magazines. Circus, hit parade or, kerrang. They were like the TMZ of magazines. They were paparazzi, and they would print anything to sell magazines including lies about the bands.

[@ScubaDiverPicker]

Dude people always react to November Rain, Patience, Paradise City, Sweet Child, etc Thats not what Guns N Roses were JUST about. They were considered the bad boys of the music industry in the late 80s and early 90s. They held the title of “Most Dangerous Band in the World.” They were reckless, wild and didn’t give a FUCK! Why I loved them so much. They lived that R&R life style. They were only a band for a short time. Their first studio album came out in 1987. Their last studio album 1991. 1993 album was just a cover album of punk songs. Anyways, they were the biggest band of the 80s and one of the most popular and best bands of alltime. You want to get a sense of who Guns N Roses were then listen to these songs: You Could Be Mine, It’s So Easy, Nightrain, The Garden and Rocket Queen. Axl fucked his drummers girlfriend in the studio and out her moaning ON the actual song “Rocket Queen.” They didn’t give a damn man. Also Axl would wear NWA hats a lot of times to try and get NWA attention before they got big Bc he was a Fan. Many times NWA would be in GNR’s dressing room while GNR performed. Axl tried to get a GUNS N ROSES/NWA concert together but they couldn’t get it done Bc both bands were considered to dangerous. He actually wore an NWA hat in their LIVE & LET DIE video. Check those out man!!!

[@kikiki4592]

LMAO, when your eyes bugged out near the end, that was a fun night. St. Louis, July 2cd 91, they were the first thing to ever perform at Riverport. Axl asked the security to stop this guy (Billy) from taking pictures, yet Billy was a Saddle Tramp (Motorcycle gang along the lines of the Hells Angels) and so were the security, so when they would not stop Billy, Axl said fuck it, security wont stop him, I will, and jumped into the crowd, broke Billy's camera and jaw, and then walked out on the crowd, show was over, then the fans tore that place down, 14K people riot. They have a ton of songs, that are not majestic or nice.

Way late to the party.. but the people he named were writers/publishers/editors/music critics for various magazines. Those things we used to have to read before the internet..... they went in on him, a lot. He had his own "issues", but when they went in on him right after he got married to that supermodel.. (Stephanie Seymore?) and she passed away basically right after.. the things they wrote then, deserved every bit of this song..... just to nudge you in the direction of the right mindset.. they said things like "he does drugs, I wonder if".... "He gets drunk and fights with his own bandmates, maybe he...." Listen to the song November Rain, and tell me the man ain't love her, and was rightfully put into attack mode when they went over THAT line.....

Can’t speak for some of the magazines attacks but the reason mick wall was there is that in an interview not long after the 1989 mtv awards where vince Neil of motley crue hit guitarist Izzy stradlin , axl went on a rant and offered to fight him. When it was published he said he never said anything like that. But wall had recorded the interview. So axl fell out with him. Then at rock in Rio 2 in 91 wall covered the event and as guns were the biggest story there he wrote how they’d changed and now had bodyguards and egos out of control. Axl threatened to sue. Then wall wrote his book on guns which again pissed off axl.. mostly because was full of stuff that made axl look like a chicken for not fighting vince Neil. This is all according to Mick Wall.

Dude I just came across your videos and I have enjoyed the shit out of watching you react to a lot of my favorite songs. When I saw you were doing Guns I had to watch for sure because they are one of my top 5 ..... No scratch that they are my top all time favorite band. When it comes to vocals in my opinion there is no one that can hold a candle to Axl for range and harmony. When Guns N' Roses came out they instantly became the biggest band on earth. I don't know all of the story but a lot of the magazines back in the day wrote all kinds of shit about them and it pissed Axl off and he was not afraid to put it out there and call them out on their shit. They didn't call them the most dangerous band in the world for nothing! For examples of his range listen to all of Appetite for Destruction and the Use your Illusion albums. Just to give a few examples: Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, You Could be Mine, Don't Cry, Dead Horse, I could name a ton of them there was not a bad tune on ant of the first three albums for sure!! Thank you for the entertainment my man!
