Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry!

[@karensilvera6694]

I'm happy with you doing you. Enjoy the ride.

[@frankk8018]

Back in the 80's and 90's all music videos were mini films, great time to be alive. Cheers

[@tamiramos5873]

You are so right. This is why its so important to react to original videos. Live videos can be done as a second helping.

[@aragorn1ring]

All three videos tell a short story called Without You by Del James. In this one hes saying dont cry because hes trying to get back with her after he cheated. In November rain you find out that she couldnt get over it and she killed herself. The wedding scene in November Rain is his dream. Only the funeral is real.

[@plagasvon2399]

I'm gonna ask you , does patience tie into this scheme as well?

[@aragorn1ring]

@@plagasvon2399 No, patience was 1989 and Dont Cry and Nov. Rain came out in 91 with Use Your Illusion. Patience was about Axl's ex girlfriend at the end of their relationship.

[@plagasvon2399]

@aragorn1ring Well slap my ass and call me a bit$h that was a great answer was a reach but was curious

[@CatherineAKennedy]

Oh...

[@jmc5876]

'Estranged' is a masterpiece. Fun fact about this video is singing with Axel on the rooftop is the future lead for the great band Blind Melon's Shannon Hoon RIP. 'Change' is a great song. Of course everyone knows 'No Rain'.

[@davidjohnson4293]

"Patience" will always be my favorite gunsNroses song ❤

[@profanitybasedfun]

I was today years old when I learned these were part of a trilogy. I've loved these songs since I was a kid and never had any idea 😅.

Civil War by Guns 'n Roses 👌🏼❤️

[@therosabella67]

Amazing!!

[@rubytuesday5412]

One of my faves. 💕

[@amystreet5402]

Civil War is a great song !!!

[@karenkat1111]

Excellent song!!!

[@lexibrax]

Guns & Roses was the background music of my youth! They hold a special place in my heart.

[@JawsVader1970]

Everyone in the rock scene from 87 88 gnr definitely holds a big part of their heart

[@Iggyzgirl]

That is Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon singing with them in the plaid shirt. May he RIP. His voice was needed for this song.❤

[@decemberwind69]

I loved Shannon's voice. I love Blind Melon. It's been awhile since I've listened to them . Now I have to . Lol

[@CelticSpiritsCoven]

I love the beginning of Blind Melon's 2nd album. It was literally two songs back to back. "Hello/Goodbye" and "Galaxy". No break between songs.... Cajun jazz style sound: "I'm entering a frame, bombarded by indecision. Where a man like me can easily let the day get out of control. Down this far in the quarter, But I'd rather be caught around now Instead of, oh say, 'round the month of June But if I can leave with a little bit of explanation Then, anywhere in the world I choose to go........" If he has the CD, he'd be able to implement the trick to get the pre-verses before the Intro.

[@DystOptimist]

Blind Melon and the Lemonheads were among my favorite bands as a kid.

[@williamhartman5977]

"Don't Cry" is like an appetizer "November Rain" is like the main course "Estranged" is like a hell of a desert

[@CatherineAKennedy]

I just watched Estranged for the first time and considered that it was Axel's awareness of everyone around him always onboard with trying to save him - and that he doesn't help them much...

[@TheDopekitty]

I always thought coma fit in there somewhere too.

[@pirateylass]

mm, sand

[@Mancjorot]

Ooo, this takes me back great song and great albums, Use Your Illusion I and II.❤🔥❤

[@iamhere4now980]

I really miss Shannon Shannon was the one that you heard doing that real high octave. He was in the band called blind melon. And they're most popular song was called no rain. Rest in peace to Shannon

[@KaylaYeager-mz5sd]

This song is freaking incredible

[@BettyBicepGirls]

The shown death of Axl is a metaphor for the old Axl and his past life and mistakes made and the the baby coming back up in the end is a metaphor for Axl being reborn into the new person he has become now.

[@cindymccomb4531]

Do all 3 with us!!! Estrange is my favorite!!! Yes I’ll watch all 3 with you!!

[@sarahquirkyprincess7714]

I would definitely watch you react to the gnr trilogy marathon!

[@sherrelwilson7354]

Paradise City, Sweet child of mine, Mr. Brownstone, Welcome to the jungle & Knocking on heavens door. My favorites!

[@Tallonwestly]

I can't tell you how many times as a kid me and my friends tried to hold the end of the songs last note with him every time we heard it❤😂

[@kelticink]

Guns and Roses, what a great band .I'm a kid again

[@Meliitak]

Axels voice and Slashes guitar are epic in every song. You must listen all three and put them together. In the early 90s we were all listening GNR and was one of the bends my growing up.

[@urbanobstacles]

Slash just out here completing side quests 😂

[@betsybabf748]

Don't Cry and Patience are both beautiful GnR songs. Civil War is a must hear.

[@courtneygardiner3461]

Can’t wait to see the third one

[@TheChristafershawn]

Symbology. The concept is symbology and not literal. Unhealthy self destructive unions that end bad. Slash's car was the relationship that he and his girl are in. There is turmoil and infighting so he drives it (the relationship) off the road and into a self destructive fiery resolve that there is no turning back from. Apply this formula to the whole video and the trilogy and it makes much more sense.

[@Ace-v3t]

One of my favourite bands EVER!!! There are two versions of this song, you definitely need to find the original tapes, use your illusion one and two, they are the only band to release two albums at the same time. I hope you enjoy!!!!

[@ShazzaUK70]

I will never forget seeing them play at the Milton Keynes Bowl for the Use your Illusion tour back in the day. Absolutely fantastic 🎉

[@Ace-v3t]

@@ShazzaUK70 I wanted to see them when they were coming to Montreal but luckily I didn’t cause what a shitshow that turned out to be. And of course I missed them a few years ago when they came to Edmonton but oh well 🤷‍♂️ 😢

[@matheya]

It's all metaphors for lost love. Nobody died, you're taking it too literally. ,😊

[@Searles007]

This is the First video of a trilogy. Second is "November Rain" and third is "Estranged." 💚🤙🏼

[@_Common_Logic_]

Maybe you'd better watch the video that you are commenting on. LOL

[@JawsVader1970]

Estranged is my favorite and what a way to end the story

[@MegsD79]

At some point you should check out Civil War from GN'R and Mr Brownstone (no video, only audio.) Mr Brownstone is a bunch of double entendres, you have to decipher what they are talking about. For me, the funny part of Mr Brownstone is when I was 9 or 10 years old I would listen to it and sing along loudly having no idea what I was singing about and then when I went back and listened to it again 10 years later I was so shocked that my parents didn't take the tape away from me and ground me for life but I honestly don't think they realized what was being said either😂

[@emerje0]

Definitely needs to listen to Civil War, it's right up his ally. And yes, Mr. Brownstone is in that same category as Welcome to the Jungle and Dr. Feelgood, super catchy songs that most people would rather not know what the lyrics are actually about.

[@Ace-v3t]

Rocket queen, My Michelle, Paradise city, Locomotive,

[@Hope...M]

No I think he should do "It's so easy." That video is crazy and he could relate on a level since he has toured all over and understands the lifestyle. If you GNR fans haven't seen that one then definitely check it but I would love to see his reaction to that

[@haadrinpsy]

Mr brownstone is their absolut worse song ever. Love Guns n Roses but that song is the only one i really hate.

[@Ace-v3t]

@@haadrinpsy love them too, the one I’m not a fan of is the garden of eden, and a few from the spaghetti incident

[@ajbailey01]

Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon fame, sang backing vocals on this song. Axl and Shannon were friends from the same city in Indiana.

[@kevie1166]

Check out my blind melon reaction on NicknLex

[@pritch999]

First song that they wrote as guns and roses , brilliant song

[@CroMagJohnson]

i knew it was pre-appetite, but did not know it was the first song they wrote together. that's pretty cool.

[@kathyjam2482]

This is one of my favorite songs from them

[@Rayray-kj9cc]

Yes!!! My teen years all wrapped up in one band!! Class of 89!!

[@blgeiger71]

Awesome! Same here 🙂

[@ironrob2713]

Don't cry is a good song, but November rain is an epic Masterpiece. You cant try to compare them.

[@talenvongunden8112]

One of my old school favorites

[@kevinfryman7143]

Estranged is my personal favorite and is a superb video as well as a kick ass song.

[@thomasbrower693]

Estranged is my favorite of the trilogy. I think it sounds the best. The video is outstanding man I miss the '80s and '90s

[@darcylyons4313]

Aww some Guns their run wasn't long like 3yrs and in that 3yrs they became not only The Most Dangerous Band in The World but the Biggest One🎸❤

[@VanDavis]

I'm a little late, but enjoyed watching and wanted to chime in... Didn't you see? Slash did his solo at the top of the cliff, after the crash...he BAILED before it went over, in my mind. 😆

[@Dennis-DK2]

You would love the lyrics/story telling to "My Michelle" and "Mr Brownstone"

[@hoosierwonderer]

Loved the awkward silence at the end of the song.....lol

[@errikadombrowski3377]

Love classic rock g&r has always been a fave

There’s actually 2 versions of this song. Each one was featured on Use Your Illusion I & II.

[@shannontrough2680]

That's Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon in the blue shirt and shorts. Rip Shannon. This is my third favorite GNR song after Patience and Sweet Child O Mine! ❤

[@kevie1166]

Love Shannon

[@jazzmojo]

RIP Shannon Hoon.

[@mandalynn4571]

Thank you for that I was sitting here trying to think of his name. Shannon Hoon was such a talent who left way to early.

[@alexanderwong1643]

You should watch Estranged that's my favorite ❤❤

[@GrimrDirge]

GnR's supermodel budget was enormous.

[@KeMeEscupaUnPollo]

Overall budget

[@stacie9229]

He was engaged to that actress (Supermodel Stephanie Seymour). It was so weird because they had JUST broken up when November Rain. The whole wedding scene was when they were still engaged, soooo. That's ANOTHER twist in these videos.

[@moonglow630]

Never knew there was a trilogy & I was around when the albums came out & owned them.

[@AlwaysWatching666]

Mr Black Pegasus I've been loving your reactions my favorite is Gun n Rose's Since the 80s I Checout your recent video you made love it like the other guys voice too nice and deep. I called u Mr for respect i respect you. Carry on 😊

[@jmg9221]

Guns & Roses - Coma

[@decemberwind69]

I love Coma . Also Dead Horse is good.

[@Crom64]

hey my buddy used to quote Ac/Dc as "Dirty Deeds and the Thunder Chief". we grew up without lyrics lol

[@lauracagle3078]

Listen to Patience and Sweet Child of Mine.

[@kieranobrien7342]

Love this ❤🤟

[@laurawallis7093]

This is my fav GnR song

[@romanoperelli7018]

I agree, out of the trilogy "Don't Cry" is the less memorable of the three, a classic late 80's rock ballad like there were so many. I think "Estranged" is considered by many fans as the most solid but I can't forget Slash's iconic solo in "November Rain" and the dramatic operatic finale. That said, "Civil War" is my favorite G'n'R song.

[@Kellew78]

Guns N' Roses always make top tier music videos

[@sgrabtune3950]

There's an alternative version of this video for Don't Cry the video is the same but the lyrics are different you should try reacting to it as well and it's called version 2 I think you'll find this other version kind of neat too. You should also try these songs I love as well (My Michelle), (You're Crazy) (Mr Brownstone), (Used To Love Her), (The Garden with Alice Cooper) & (Civil War). Hope you will LUV these as much as I do!!!!

[@IsabelleRSG]

When the double album 'Use Your Illusions" was released, which this trilogy is from, we were gifted so many different genres and styles of songs. There are these rock ballads, sure, but also many rocking songs, like the ones you know or remember and which were from their debut album.

[@angelfired3616]

OMG! That's Shannon Hoon! I'm floored! As a GnR fan AND a Blind Melon fan for DECADES, I never knew Shannon Hoon was in this video or even did vocals on this track... here's the facts..."Who is the guest singer in Dont Cry? Shannon Hoon "Don't Cry" features Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon as a co-lead vocalist. Hoon sings an octave higher than Rose, and his voice is placed further back in the mix; Hoon also appears in the music video, singing alongside Rose during the helipad scenes."

[@fran3675]

I agree November Rain is probably my Top Guns and Roses Song.

[@claytonbryan6257]

I remember playing shows up at Paradise City

[@Bridget-zn1im]

Because I noticed in the thumbnail and because it’s one of my favorite 80’s songs and bands I recommend listening to Never Tear us Apart by INXS.

[@CatherineAKennedy]

You made me think about it... this was 'the' album of 1994-1995 for me - my boyfriend would always sing 'don't you dry' - he was moving back to Austria permanently and I loved my life here - no 'illusion' about giving up all I worked for and the stability I created for myself... I'm with you on this one (Paradise City & Sweet Child.. being the vibe I loved) - and I'd never seen the video - and you prompted me to go and check out 'Estranged' - also had never seen the video... watching your reaction videos have made me realise that these three songs are about Axl's mental health and what they all endure as their lives unfold - possibly, at the time, Axl may have believed that if Slash was gone, he would be too?

[@therosabella67]

I love Guns N’Roses!!

[@fran3675]

This one has the Lead Singer from Blind Melon in the video, Shannon Hoon, Axel Rose actually helped him get his start.

[@quintondees4501]

These guys were ENORMOUS in the late 80s

[@rustandbeards]

Estranged!!!! Must react

[@carsten1989]

😂 love this reaction

[@ricoeugene2628]

Phil Lynnot : was a GREAT bass player , riff maker , song and lyricks maker...

[@tiacalhoun3841]

It’s a short story about a rockstar living the rockstar lifestyle and he cheats on his girl, she can’t deal with the hurt and kills herself and he goes crazy mentally afterwards and his name on the headstone is symbolism for part of him dying after her suicide

[@TheDopekitty]

Velvet Revolver is a GnR reference too. Rose petals have a sort of velvety texture and revolver is obvious. Three of the Illusions era members, Slash, Duff and Sorum are in VR I wish they'd been able to blend thevtwo versions for the video. Each set of lyrics is wonderful and i often mix them up myself lol

[@brcs8332]

Look at "live tokyo", they play all those songs there and so much better live, with absolutely wonderful backup singers. And Axel had an absolutely amazing voice live back then, along with Slash's guitar playing, it was absolutely amazing

[@Mr12161969]

Estranged is absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻🏆🏆🏆

[@AppetiteForClipz]

Estranged is officially “Part 4” of the trilogy, because after November Rain, the lead female was no longer available for filming, so Part 3 was never made… Had it gone as planned, all 3 videos were going to be put together into one piece, with the scenes shown in chronological order… It was supposed to be included as part of a documentary movie called “Perfect Crime” None of this happened…

[@claude-emiliecloutier8186]

Rockers also write beautiful ballad, love songs breakup songs. I particulary like This I love.

[@gnfnrs1186]

Multi talented bad ass band

[@coreyhall6804]

[@markcarter822]

Yo BP it's good to know that I'm not the only one that for years I thought it was Very Last City. I finally realized a few years ago it was Paradise City.

[@christina9841]

If you haven't heard Sweet Child of Mine.. it's a must. GnR's best song, imo. I never could figure out what this video is about lol..... it cracks me up that Slash survives the car crash and is playing his guitar on the mountainside... I have no idea what it's supposed to mean, but to me it's just hilarious. For something extremely CHEESY and for pure entertainment factor... you might check out Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55"....

[@CroMagJohnson]

estranged is my favorite of the trilogy, and prob a top 5 gnr song for me. it's a wild ride though. the storm is getting closer, and the waves they get so high.

[@importantpyg]

Of the three songs, Estranged is the best, in my opinion. One of the best of the Use Your Illusion albums. Definitely worth a listen. Breakdown is probably my favorite off those albums, though. Amazing song.

[@reecemartin2509]

You need to their live performances to grasp his talent. This song in Tokyo 92 is fire!

[@reginairvine3919]

"This video crazy as hell"...every single one of us when this first came out and before they explained the context ...November Rain helps explain a lot "Is Slash a freaking Heavenly angel?" Absofreakinlutly!

Dude , that song is badass what are you not hearing lol it's beautiful and smart ass like ❤😊

[@Avalee325]

The “where’s Izzy?” Sign 🤣🤣🤣

[@MrJeffrey-xq2dw]

You mentioned viewing a trilogy. Jason Aldean did a song called "You Make It Easy". The song has 3 videos (episodes) to the story (mini-movie). Well done. Episode 1 leaves you wanting to listen to the song again so you can follow the movie.

[@robertalvarado4633]
