Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine | REACTION | GUITAR GOES NUTS!

[@SalvoG]

I didn’t watch the video because it omitted almost a minute of this song

[@dsorichetti154]

Good decision

[@blgeiger71]

The minute "slashed" from the official music video was taken from the guitar solo! Excellent choice on doing the studio/audio only version, kind Sir.

[@catherineday951]

Love GnR. You should watch the video as well now that you've listened. Axl was a riveting front man!

[@simonbaxter1789]

night train. amazing solo.

[@angelcharms7297]

Yes. If u cant upload the video, watch it later. Hope u watched Bohemian Rhapsody video by Queen after uploading the video. New sub here. GO BEE GEES!!

[@timmypyron2830]

Time for "Welcome to the Jungle" n "Paradise City"

[@KingCobra3849]

Listen to Welcome To The Jungle next, the album opener, and you'll understand the visceral effect this album had. There was nothing quite like it at the time. A punch to the gut and an eargasm from start to finish.

[@Metalphysicalpodcast]

"Welcome to the Jungle" and "Paradise City" are top suggestions. In fact this entire album would be a good reaction.

[@vincentjoyce5100]

Axl Rose had a voice like no one else on earth. I wore this cassette out twice.

[@nellieknifton]

I was lucky to play tennis against Slash in the 1990’s when he was on his honeymoon in Kenya. A really nice guy, very down to earth, and amused all in the club with the amount of vodka he could consume.

[@nellieknifton]

@devildog5354 No not many can lol also remember his new wife drove their hosts mad as Paula was a cordon bleu chef and the wife would only eat lettuce and cucumber( think she was a model for a Japanese car company)

[@tgadd9825]

The entire Appetite for Destruction is worth a listen. It's brilliant.

[@kathyjaissle6791]

I’m shocked that you’ve never heard this song!!! Holy smokes! Anyway, this is my all-time favorite song. It has everything I love. The lyrics, the tune, the hard rock, and one of my favorite guitar solos!!! Fantastic!!!! The build up to that killer guitar solo thrills me every time I hear it!!! SalvoG, I bet you didn’t want it to end, did you??? 😃😃😃. *** Check out Welcome to the Jungle

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction Salvo! Don't feel bad only being here for the guitar...many of us are! (bass included!) Axl's voice is often a sticking point - but it works with their style of music & their riffs. HIGHLY suggest checking more of this album as you will get the idea of 'why' this was such a HUGE seller!! Nightrain, Welcome To The Jungle & Mr. Brownstone are absolute musts!! Then on to the Use Your Illusion albums...

[@NoCreamedCorn]

Mr. Brownstone was a b-side of one of their singles but imho it’s one of the most killer songs on the album.

[@scm0717]

Happy New Year! Starting off with Guns & Roses! WOW! LOL! You NEED to hear Paradise City, Welcome to the Jungle, Patience. Slash is a BEAST and the main guitarist. Axl Rose has a crazy vocal range. Paradise City and Welcome to the Jungle has the same type of vocals, but it's so THEM. Patience is a different side of his vocals. The video for that song is really cool.

[@pacebrison1453]

You need to react to the whole album. One of the rare ones where every cut is bangin’.

[@BenJammin1005]

Good catch with the difference in song length!!! Everyone does the music video and they cut a whole lot of Slash's solos from that!

[@erickent3557]

I didn't hear this until summer of 88. For me, it was a refreshing return to 70s hard rock sounds, opposed to mid 80s metal. Even as a full-on punk rocker at the time, this was a fantastic track.

[@scm0717]

Totally.

[@Oldschoolnana]

As a Zeppelin fanatic these guys are my 2nd favorite.❤

[@Boston685]

This one got everyone to the dance floor back in the day....

[@lifes_a_journey...]

When was that? GNR were never played at dances, and my group didn't dance to this, we headbanged!

[@mdj-ie7rj]

Ahhh, miss Axl-absolutely epic. Those were the days

[@Scorpius65]

This was my best friend's favorite song. I remember the day he brought over two photographs. One of himself and one of his daughter. And he asked me if I could combine the two in a drawing, I did excellent pencil to work. And he had this cassette tape of the song from guns and roses, and he wanted me to write the lyrics down underneath. And I played it over and over and over too many times to count that first week. Each time I listen to it it got better and better. Not only great lyrics by the guitar solo s where unhooked. He died of a heart attack two months later. I miss him dearly, she still calls me from time to time and reminisce and remember Jim, while we listen to this and many other guns n' roses songs. RIP brother. We miss you 👼🦂

[@cnatview]

Beautiful story....

[@goosebump801]

This album is amazing! I adore Axl’s whiny wailing, for whatever reason - especially on “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” (from Use Your Illusion II.) Other classics you MUST hear are “Welcome to the Jungle” and “Mr. Brownstone” (quite underrated IMO.) My all time favorite track, though, is “Patience”: the vocals…the WHISTLING…and the *pacing*…all come together like in no other song. There’s so much great GnR music 😊❤️💐

[@christielysdale1815]

I love Mr. Brownstone! It certainly doesn’t get the love it deserves

[@ms.dirtybird7779]

Patience is on the Lies, Lies Lies Album love that one too!!!!

[@goosebump801]

@@ms.dirtybird7779 Thanks! I realize the way I wrote my post, it seems to imply that “Patience” is on Appetite for Destruction. Thanks for the clarification 👍💐

[@jamiemacdonald436]

Thanks for doing the album cut. The shortened version doesn't butcher it, but I do miss the small edits.

[@KingCobra3849]

Also Axl's voice was truly one of a kind. He had a tremendous range to go from extremely low note baritone to super high falsetto much akin to a male version of Mariah Carrey at the time. His voice has degraded with age, overuse and a previous smoking habit.

[@katyharrs278]

He obviously took a lot from Robert Plant.

[@susanlindner8626]

Slash is the lead guitarist and the whole album is worth listening to! I saw them as the opening band for Aerosmith when this album came out and they had so much energy!

[@blgeiger71]

I saw them opening for Motley Crue during the "Girls, Girls, Girls" tour...amazing show!

[@H3cJP]

this is one of the first songs, that woke me an interest on rock and metal (yes, i know, very VERY wide genres)

[@correctlyrics]

SalvoG, GnR's first single was "Welcome to the Jungle". It was in a Clint Eastwood movie which didn't do well, so nobody even noticed that song. The was still mostly unknown. "Sweet Child O Mine" was their second single and the day after it hit MTV and the radio, GnR EXPLODED. Everyone was going nuts for this band. Then, when we heard "Welcome to the Jungle", we all loved it she couldn't understand why we hadn't heard it before. That song is now in the top 3 GnR songs. Side note about "Sweet Child O Mine"...the opening riff was a practice riff that the guitar player used to do until someone heard and said...HEY!

[@deuceman32]

The "Sweet Child" for whom Axl wrote the lyrics is Erin Everly, daughter of Don Everly, of the Everly Brothers. Erin was his girlfriend at the time and became his wife for about a year.

[@clintlandrum9498]

Well, you have to try "paradise city," now that you've heard "sweet child..." But the video. You have to see the video.

[@therealmciver3761]

Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, Mr Brownstone, Rocket Queen, My Michele

[@dlbeal]

LOL, hey Sl, I am laughing because we are both singing along with the guitar. :)

[@lifes_a_journey...]

This was part of my first ever album purchases, summer of 1987. I bought this and Slippery When Wet on cassette tape at Kmart, lol. I spent the entire summer switching between the 2. Appetite is still my favorite album of all time. It is amazing from start to finish. My favorite song is probably Mr. Brownstone, but it hard to choose as it is all so good. Axl does have an amazing voice, there is a video somewhere of him singing a choir song he used to sing in church, but this was the style). Izzy is the rhythm guitarist and Slash is on lead (solos)

[@diananatal928]

Omg listening to this album, brought me back to rock music again 😂 great reaction 👍🏼 next GnR should be November Rain, Welcome to the Jungle & Paradise City.

[@Dave-el6rh]

Thank you.Really.Thank you.

[@bobbolan4672]

Yep. I got three blonde, blue eyed daughters. Kinda hits home with me. lol

[@cnatview]

I have one and the first time I heard this song coming out of her bedroom door, it became her song, and still is. She'll turn 50 this year.

[@bubsmomma]

Axel Rose could sing the phone book and sound amazing. No one like him. Check out his cover of "Live and Let Die"

[@stevenseul361]

Try Welcome to the Jungle or Paradise City if you want a Banger

[@alisontoulouse-lisle2621]

I loved this song so much I named one of my children after one of the band 😂 it’s funny now if he calls my mobile while I’m out as I have this as his ring tone so you get a blast of sweet child of mine and then when I answer I’m speaking to somebody named after a band member ….. I get some very confused looks from strangers 😂

[@erickent3557]

That part you love, you replayed at 10:45, the ride cymbal completes it for me... god, I love a well-placed bell ride...

[@Lynn7015hb]

Welcome to the Jungle next please, and buckle up!

[@vaughnnewman8903]

One of the greatest debut albums ever made- an amazing album.

[@DrnkTheWildAir]

Axl (Bill) is from Lafayette Indiana! Paradise City!

[@H3cJP]

that solo is probably one of the most famous, liked and disliked solos in rock history, all at the same time lmfao always around slash there seems to not be a midterm, lots of blinded ultra fans and lots of blinded ultra haters, its crazy

[@H3cJP]

@devildog5354 i have heard a lot of people disliking in general all solos of slash and given it's one of the biggest, its specially spoken about this solo but yeah, complaining is a very human thing so not really important...

[@evanm1815]

As many have already pointed out: Welcome to the jungle is a must, but please also listen to Paradise City, the guitar at the end of the song is insane

[@richmayes8451]

I'm glad you did the album version. The video cuts out quite a bit of the excellent guitaring by Slash. For some great guitaring, I would recommend Estranged.

[@rodb9275]

Welcome to the Jungle and It's So Easy, are tied for my favorite GNR song. I personally love Axl's voice.

[@paulbly7814]

I was brought up on this music. Would you believe i didn't care for it at the time? Now.. can't get enough.. 😄❤️

[@mikeb36240]

The Firm - "Satisfaction Guaranteed" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Paul Rogers(Bad Company) vocals Jimmy Page(Led Zeppelin) guitar

[@cjcookj85]

I'll say it again like others have before me. Welcome to the jungle. That's the opening track on their debut album and then listen to the rest of the album too. I've of the greatest rock albums ever

[@dannyl1967]

I can't believe you've never heard this!

[@claireboddey3273]

This is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest debut albums of all time. Rocket Queen is my favourite from this one.

[@AppetiteForClipz]

Just start with welcome to the jungle and work your way through the entire appetite for destruction album. Every song is a banger

[@bigjoe330]

Timeless 🔥

[@Houston727Gal]

Nooooooo - I was screaming as he vacillated between versions and ultimately didn’t select the official video. One of GNRs many gifts is their chemistry and presence. I respect wanting a few more seconds of song, but truly wish he got to see the performance😁😁

[@AllShadesAreGray]

Listen to the whole album, but at least give “Welcome to the Jungle” and “Paradise City” a whirl before moving on (not only were they hits, they were songs that brought audiences back to the stadium, even though they weren’t power ballads).

[@jondonnelly]

Please do Rocket Queen next. Lots of people will recommend the more well-known songs, but this song is often overlooked and is one of their best imo.

[@sonjarussell7332]

Axl may have a good voice with an astounding range but without the talent of Slash on guitar GnR wouldn’t have been much. This is one of the best, most famous, instantly recognizable riffs ever recorded…add the solo to the mix…and you get the magic that happens when talent flows. More please!!!

[@mjesusro3089]

Creo que te gustará el cover que hicieron de Knocking on heaven's door live performance. Ver a cualquier artista disfrutar en vivo con lo que hacen es el mejor regalo que nos pueden dar.

[@rainerader1182]

MTV used to heavily rotate a couple songs off this album

[@ines_uk]

Please check out their “Don’t Cry” next. It’s a really good song.

[@rainerader1182]

I saw Guns and Roses in two different states for this album and couple times after

[@AKLMUSIC419]

Was a fan of GnR since the Live Like A Suicide E.P. AFD is a perfect album.

[@SS-rk2me]

If you want a soaring guitar solo check out November Rain and THAT one you have to watch the full length video.

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

Welcome to the Jungle by G&R is the song that blew my mind. Still does.

[@matt85us]

React to Guns n roses live in Wembley 1992 - knocking on heaven’s door……Its just mesmerizing

[@joelhammond4162]

Agree 200%

[@geneevens5866]

Paradise City.

[@ryanr5319]

Ty for reaction! Also listen to Jane's Addiction as time allows, either the XXX album, or Nothing's Shocking. Those two albums are amazing. "Coming Down the Mountain, Ocean Size, and 3 Days" are my recommendations. GNR made us say goodbye to Hair Metal (even though they had it on this album) and here comes some straight up rock. Volume please, etc. 😊 remember staying up to see the video for Welcome to the jungle on Headbangers Ball.

[@gram5751]

When is the return of Steve Perry and Journey?!? 🎶🙂🎶

[@jodij6280]

I'd like him to hear 'Snowblind' by Styx. He loved the rest of their songs. Well, except for 'Mr. Roboto' but that was a one off.

[@BlakeHanback01]

Nobody better than Axl Rose!!

[@kevinwalsh9788]

Put " Paradise City " at the head of the line.

[@SusanPeterson-l7i]

Salvo, where have you been?! Children in bands play this song, very popular! Look up some on KZbin.

[@therealmciver3761]

Anytime you do a song from 80's you gotta watch the video. It was the age of the video. Some bands put more money into making a video than it cost to produce the whole album.

[@godzillasgirl6240]

Welcome To the Jungle and Paradise City should be next...

[@jeffcobb2734]

Paradise City is the next banger to check out!

[@ms.dirtybird7779]

Paradise City official video next please. Vibes!!!

[@wildk4tmc421]

Must do welcome to the jungle and paradise city 🫶🏼

[@retirebear3551]

Watch the black and white video! Amazing. You aren’t seeing them perform!

[@jaywolf6882]

You have to do It's So Easy and My Michelle

[@steves.6519]

A lot of their song subjects were (at the time) controversial so didnt get a lot of airplay. hence, the reason why this was their only #1 on the charts. Although, I am surprised Paradise City didnt hit #1.

[@tessasnow]

Welcome to the jungle next please or paradise city. Peace and respect from Saskatchewan 🖖🏻🇨🇦

[@dutch1800]

Check out the whole album!

[@robbeck8661]

hope for some more abba soon! my suggestions: gimme gimme gimme or SOS or something from their latest and last album from 2021, 40 years after they original split up. i suggest: dont shot me down

[@kevinmclaughlin1092]

If you wanna hear Axl at his best vocally, listen to the ACOUSTIC version of YOU'RE CRAZY from their GnR Lies EP.

[@SylviaCovington-g1i]

I liked your reaction. You should react or watch Dan Vasc's cover of this.

[@TD_JR]

LOL - "Significant airplay". Rock radio played at least one of their songs every damned hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for a long, long time.

[@Billis75]

If you want a vocal more like Live and Let Die off of Appetite for Destruction, go with Mr. Brownstone (Axl kind of goes back and forth in parts).

[@davidkopp8945]

Mr Brownstone is Great

[@lifes_a_journey...]

My favorite for sure!

[@thomasord8636]

Paradise City, if you really want to hear Slash go to town....

[@impudentdomain]

Axel Rose has the most unique vocals of all time

[@PriestessOfNothing]

Not my favorite on the album, but it was a behemoth hit for them. My favorites from that album are "Paradise City", "Rocket Queen", and "Mr. Brownstone". If I remember right, the music video cut out part of the solo, which was so dumb, so good thinking to check the times on the videos you were looking at. Radio edits always disturb the flow of a song.

[@Carolyn-fb8is]

Whether you do a reaction or not, you should check out Dan Vasc doing a cover of this! Sweet!!❤️

[@ronstegall2312]

Check out "Mr Brownstone!!!" You'll love it!!!

[@erinhansen2110]

Axl has a wider vocal range than just about anyone in mainstream pop/rock including gods like Mariah Carey and Freddie Mercury.

[@roncarnes5724]

I bought AOD in college, almost a year before anyone heard of GNR. Loved almost the whole album, but cringed with the realization that Sweet Child Of Mine was going to be shoved down my throat in the near future

[@robinbeerman4726]

Written for Erin Everly daughter of Don Everly. Axls girlfriend.

[@bonnielee78]

Paradise City is my favourite of GnR. Watch the music video, it is a serious free-for-all. Insane fire at its best. You'll love it :)

[@jaquettajones]

Dude! You missed the mark - the Video is EVERYTHING! You miss so much of WHO they are without the video - Specifically with THIS Song!

[@deesmith3207]

I don't think you have ever listened to Alan Parsons Project. They are a phenomenal band. I think the song GAMES PEOPLE PLAY would be a good start. Pretty sure you will fall I love with them.

[@txhesser]

where do we go now?

[@AJ-wg1xv]

I'm not a fan of his voice but he is at his best right during the solo in this song. As far as Live and Let Die, I grew up with the original and Paul's voice is 100 times better to me.

[@Jonathan-d1b3g]

👍👍👍👍

[@karmicscope5259]

Please react to the Paradise City video by GNR.

[@reirayem]

can you react to welcome to the jungle? this music you can react the video clip, its the same of studio version
