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)"

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.

[@user-ni5gt4gp3h]

Rocket queen is my all time favorite g n r song

You couldnt walk down the street without hearing this album from 88-91

[@xtop23]

lol impregnated. As a 53 year old guy I was a teenager when this came out and I will tell you it was a game changer. This track EvERYone was cranking. That whole album was a beast back then.

[@tristanrl1940]

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.

[@GrungeNY]

SO TRUE!!!

[@ChiefofThangz907]

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.

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❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@davesunhammer4218]

Oh yea, Paradise City. Mm!

[@JeFilm94]

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 16 in '88 when this came out. The girl i was dating loved this so much that one night as she was writing me a letter instead of doing her homework, she stopped mid-sentence and wrote (in a different color), "Welcome to the jungle is on ... cool dude!", and the started the original sentence right back up where she left off. 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.

GNR was a game changer in 87. Their run from '87-92" will probably never be duplicated. - Sweet Child 'O Mine, November Rain would be great ones to review.

[@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

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.

[@sumonjamal1653]

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.

And then the next morning all you know was that every single friend of yours was talking non-stop about this one particular song that they saw on their televisions the previous night... Many people don't know that Welcome To The Jungle was first aired on television in the most perfect time anyone could have thought of

[@danielcobbins8861]

MTV was going to play this song only once, at 4 AM in the morning. They probably thought that very few people would be awake to hear it, however, the MTV switchboard lit up the following day, with viewers requesting this song.

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.

[@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.

[@jonlight670]

Remember seeing them live in the 80/90’s they were amazing!

Was in Honduras in 89 during the Honduras/Nicaragua war, and this song played on the Armed Forces Network like, every third song

[@aaronscollectinganddetecti3018]

My first ever comment on here been binge watching your videos the last three days love your stuff subscribed yesterday

[@luisespineira9882]

This was my first GunsNRoses video for me. I became a fan instantly. ❤

[@dwood21851]

So Guns N’ Roses is for sure my all-time favorite band. But with that said, for the most part, I don’t want to listen to this song anymore unless I’m at their concert. But I sure do love watching people see this for the first time It makes me very envious and happy at the same time

[@neilfleming2787]

glad to see you back Aileen, been missing you

Back when the song came out, MTV did NOT want to play the video. They ended up playing it once at about 5am on a Sunday morning and immediately got swamped with requests to keep playing it.

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.

[@chrisstone5868]

Any song of of this album is awesome Aileen. Nice to see you!!❤️🙏🎸🎸🎸

[@Vacant36]

Guns NRoses Appetite for Destruction album and Acdc album Back in Black are the templates for Hard Rock.

[@jimfreeman2640]

The imagery with the TV 's was taken from the movie Clockwork Orange...

[@sergiosaviola7940]

Good to see you back with some videos reactions!!! 🖤🎵

[@tonyhoward7840]

I've seen GnR twice,,,, kickass concerts,,,,,, opened for Aerosmith at the Checkerdome in St. Louis, '89, then 2017 in St. Louis,,,, your right about the content n lyrics,,, awesome review

[@jamesyoung7560]

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".

[@jrb2333]

Guns N Roses is my favorite rock band BY FAR. Metallic is probably the best rock band in terms of the metrics.... but DAMN!!! Guns N Roses is, was and will always be MY favorite!!!

[@patrickdeporte289]

Always good to see a new vid and your lovely face. Cheers and rock on

[@joeyboedeker2047]

Those stadium shows and that decade in time was insane 😂😂😂😂
