SO MANY LAYERS!! | First Time Hearing Guns N' Roses - "Welcome To The Jungle" | REACTION

[@BLACKHT3]

This album was THE album when it was released. I was in high school at the time and Appetite for Destruction was amazing.

[@finsfan1376]

Still is amazing!!! The whole album is great not a bad song on the album!!

[@blackman5867]

It's even better than the ablum Back In Black in my opinion. Yeah Hells Bell has fire intro, yeah Back In Black is iconic, yeah You Shook Me All Night Long is a fun party song. But does it have WTTJ, Paradise City, Sweet Child O Mine, Rocket Queen? Nope!

[@jeremykothe2847]

And they followed it up with BOTH OF THE albums.

[@TimTurner-w7l]

Rocket queen is my all time favorite g n r song

[@brandongallegos1206]

Rocket queen, Paradise city, Don't cry, Patients, Civil War, Mr. Brownstone, You could be mine.

[@csurampower]

It's funny, misspelling "Patience" as "Patients" sort of changes the lyrics of the song into a hospital anthem: "Could use some patients... Gotta have more patients... Oh, I need you (all it takes is patients)"

GUYS PRAY FOR SAM AND COLBY THEY BEEN DECEIVED BY DEMONS AND ARE IN DANGER THEY ARE KZbinRS❤ God wouldnt allow souls to be trapped on earth, its umbilical and never happened all souls belong to God, so you cant sell your soul to the devil❤ And not everyone is a child of God jesus said it himself youre of your father the devil and your desires are to do his will true children of God are the ones who have been born again spiritually and repented from sin❤ So many people say they love God, but most of them never repented from sin and have a personal relationship with him, and love isnt just a feeling love is doing❤ Familiar spirits are demons well if I'm wrong I wasted nothing because I got peace and joy from him, but if you're wrong you wasted your entire life!! ❤️🎉 And demons love when people believe that lie that God doesn't exist and they love it when people don't know they are there ❤I copy n paste this everywhere❤ And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤ Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤ Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe. People: okay please stay this is your place❤ Demon: okay People: **leaves** Demon: **Goes with them anyway** Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah. Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤ Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤ Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤ Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤ God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤ To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit. KZbinrs I recommend Impact videos ministries David diga Hernandez IsaiahSaldivar Mapalo DLM christian lifestyle Billy garham Danial adams Living waters Mike Signorelli Okay now pray this to be saved and to get to heaven pray out loud Jesus I confess that you are my lord and savior I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead I ask to receive your holy spirit and I repent of my sins with your help❤ by faith in your word I receive salvation now Thank you for saving me! I am now reborn a christian a child of almighty God I am saved thank you Jesus! *Be genuine when praying this* Watch videos on how to receive Gods holy spirit on YT God creates Jesus redeems The holy spirit changes Now our good deeds and works we think are good are like filthy rags in the eyes of God Things to get rid of in your home 1sage 2dream catchers 3crystals 4crystal ball 5ouija board 6 tarot and angel cards 7religious statues 8demonic movies music or video games 9soul times items 10pornography Now like a theif robbing a store, demons won't make it obvious they are there unless they have to. Now know you can't save yourself Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life You have insurance on your house if it ever caught on fire which rarely happens but when it comes to your soul, you play with it like you have forever to make your choice which you don't 150k+ people Die everyday and you never know when it may be you God spent 9 months shaping and forming you before you were born but only 7 days on earth you're fearfully and wonderfully made beautiful in the eyes of God❤ Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤ Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve You serve the devil when you Lie Hate Blasphemy Disobey Lazy Gossip Gluttony Wanting what others have cause what God has for you is for you he will never deliver your male to someone else's house Hate And unforgivness And cussing murder and more And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven So who's lying you or God? Be serious about this❤ God is holy and righteous God is love So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤ You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤ Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN! Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior! God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤ Don't expect Gods best when you always give him your least don't reject him anymore let him come in and change your life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The song is about the environment the band came up in. Axl himself moved to LA in the early 80's, and the intro scene in the music video is the retelling the story of a country boy entering this city and getting submerged in the wildness that was the 80's Los Angeles rock music scene.

[@BrentStewart]

This... The story according to Axl was when he got off the bus he was approached by a homeless guy who said "you know where you are? you're in the jungle".

I was thinking the same, how right they were about this "free world" 😂😂🤣🤣 we live in lol

[@guanyin19]

It's extremely interesting to listen to oldies music in general (which classic rock is probably now a part of), because much of the lyrical mastery still applies today. A great indication that life and people never change. They were dealing with much of the same sh*t we're dealing with decades later.

[@benschultz1784]

I mean, it's about the Hollywood business chews up and spits out talent, so it'll always be relevant.

[@thekenjensen]

I was a 19 yr old Marine stationed in the mud in South Korea through the winter of 88, when a new unit arrived from California. One guy was wearing a G&R shirt at the bar that night. I asked him what that was. (I hadn't been stateside in almost a year and I'd been in the dirt for months. I knew nothing about America then.) He told me it was this awesome new band. I thought the name was stupid and laughed. Months later, I got back to the states and, of course, became a big G&R fan! LOL

Much like you, I was then a junior in high school as well (‘87). I believe it had taken this album nearly one full year to get any recognition. By the following summer, talk of this band - who were then relatively new to the hard rock scene - was pervasive.

I was 16 in '88 when this came out.

That always cracked me up. This is tied for best debut albums ever. There's not a B-side track on it, they're all awesome.

In 87, I was in 8th grade. This album was like a volcanic eruption. Just blew us away. Had this on cassette and wore it out in my Sony Sports Walkman. The Whole album is a monster. In a sea of hair bands, this stood head and shoulders above it all. This was our intro to this band. Slash is still one of my favorite guitarists. Axl's voice made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Other favorite tracks from this album are Sweet Child O Mine and Paradise City.

First Guns N' Roses single that introduced the band to the world on MTV in late 1987... According to MTV, the music video aired in the early morning and the station's switchboard immediately blew up w/ requests for 'Welcome to the jungle'... It was a song that W. Axl Rose (vocals) wrote about coming to Los Angeles for the first time from his native Indiana in the 80's ... and seeing a whole new side of America that he had never experienced - hustlers, hookers, pimps, drug dealers... all in the backdrop of Hollywood and Beverly Hills. By 1988, Guns N' Roses' debut album 'Appetite for destruction' hit #1 on the US charts and the band of street outlaws were quickly becoming the biggest band in the world by that point.

[@danielcobbins8861]

The video was only to be played once, at 4AM, but as noted, the switchboard blew up with requests for this song.

I was fortunate enough to hear a pre-release promo copy of this album about 6 weeks before it dropped and as soon as it hit the stores I bought it. My favorites are "Think about You" which is one of the rare Izzy Stradlin written (mostly) songs and Rocket Queen which very much reminds me of a young (I was young too) "scene chick" named Allison who I really liked but never "sealed the deal" with. I really dig the Jeckyl and Hyde nature of Rocket Queen, the first part being sexual and "I'm more f**k than you can handle" and then the day and night change to and almost ethereal at times "I just want you to know I care".

Now , stepping into the streets of a hard core city ( the jungle) ... Remember, images also speak for words , and they saying that ..! ... At the end. When he was strapped to the chair , watching all those T.V's , that scene. Came straight from an awesome and powerful movie, 1971 " Stanley Kubrick's " A. Clockwork Orange ". .....!!! ..

I always thought the intro felt like you were descending into a jungle, with sounds and howls coming from all around you. G&R have a lot of fun music, never quite know what to expect from them. Nice to see you again, hope you're doing good!

In November Rain, you knew the Roses. With Welcome to the Jungle, you've been presented to the Guns.

Rocket Queen might be good one next. Might want to read the background on that and what act was actually "recorded" in that song.

[@christophermcconnell3867]

Appetite for Destruction is just filthy. It’s before they got polished up. This is when 3/5 of the band was strung out on smack, and another one was drinking a gallon of vodka a day. And they created the best selling debut album of all time out of all that insanity. Check out Rocket Queen, My Michelle, It’s So Easy etc

[@ericaespinosa4030]

Filthy good yes

[@thatguyandii]

From “The Most Dangerous Band In The World”, aka Guns N Roses, there are two songs that I HIGHLY recommend you check out: the music video of “It’s So Easy” and the 1991 Live Performance at the Ritz in New York of “You Could Be Mine”.

The drummer said he was using gorge of the jungle to do that slow part. You got it.😊😊😊

[@mattblatchley2061]

SO SO SO Glad you're back!!!

There is a TV commercial for Radio BOB (german rock radio station) with a busdriver looking like an Axl clone... 🙂 Welcome back Aileen. 💗

in the 80's. Cities were often referred to as the 'concrete jungle'. And so this video is a modern version of 'country mouse, city mouse' (which is a centuries old fable, Aesop's fables to be exact) If you notice at the beginning the guy gets off the bus and is "country" and at the end of the video, after watching everything is now 'city' with completely different hair and etc.

My first experience with this song was on the car radio. I was a kid, driving home with Dad one night. It came on, he cranked the volume to as high as the old station wagon could get, and belted it out. Once it was done he said "That came out in 1987, best year of my life." I learned later that that was the year he met Mom lol. They're still together (2024) :)

[@Wolfman6743]

And incase anyone is wondering, no, the year I was born was probably not the best year of my parent's lives. I had to have 3 brain surgeries just to stay alive, so I'm not gunna fault them for not liking the year 1993 lol

[@apect2756]

Those are some sick looking guitars you got there in the back

[@redrum482]

Great reaction! You analysis is spot on IMO...

[@andyh4224]

Oh my gosh you haven't do Welcome to the Jungle, this is great, love your reactions

[@susanlindner8626]

I saw GnR perform this whole album back when it first came out. They were opening for Aerosmith!! It was one of the best schools I have been to.

[@nrdztx]

This whole album was in your face from beginning to end!! Definitely my favorite album of all time. Sidenote, I can’t wait to see your reaction to Rocket Queen, especially when you find out the legend of the recording!!

[@djkillergarcia]

I was the perfect age in 1987.......15 but i had followed them since their first ep "Live ?!*@ like a suicide"about a year or two before.

[@lowendthumper205]

This song came out when i was a junior in high school back in the 80'. Seen GNR back then 8 times. Axl said this song was about L.A.
