THIS ENERGY!!! | Guns N' Roses - "Paradise City" | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@Zorros2ndCousinTwiceRemoved]

You getting overexcited is part of the reason why we're here! Your in-the-moment dedication is infectious and glorious to see!

[@petercofrancesco9812]

I was going to offer to breath for her 😏but yeah she's great because she gets lost in the song. It is a fun song because it has these unexpected change ups.

[@michaelmontgomery44]

The joy you have is amazing and really fantastic to watch!

[@jimmyabort8763]

i love how shes smiling the entire time

[@Hoonicron]

Yeaaa

[@DarrellRaley]

ABSOLUTELY ❤❤❤

[@blackheartdarksoul666]

THIS is Guns n' Roses, that first album is pure rock!

[@ravenmasters2467]

Bought this on vinyl when it was released, with the original sleeve before it was banned. Possibly the greatest album of all time, from one of the greatest bands of all time, although they never captured me as much ever again after this album. Nirvana my top then GnR, but if GnR had split after this album it might well be the other way around, or if Nirvana had gone on to make bland stuff like GnR did.

[@blackman5867]

@@ravenmasters2467 the irony is that none of GNR member died for their toxic lifestyle, while someone who is somewhat cleaner like Kurt did

[@bobs.2008]

@@blackman5867 Thanks for chiming in! -...- A great deal of scientific research indicates that the death rate for both the 'toxic' and 'clean' lifestyles is identical: 100% 😀

[@haventthoughtofanameyet6364]

Their only album that was good all the way through

[@blackman5867]

​@@haventthoughtofanameyet6364 it's no doubt that it's their best album. I have only listened to UYI I other than AFD but I can already tell that, the only songs that are fine from that UYI I are Back Off Btch, Bad Obsession, November Rain, Don't Damn Me, while all songs in AFD rock hard!

[@CrustyTuna]

Seeing someone your age getting so excited makes me remember what it was like years ago when I'd hear these songs for the first time. It brings me joy.

[@joaofigueiredo823]

I watched Guns'n'Roses in Lisbon 1992, with Soundgarden and Faith No More opening for them. Axl Rose, Mike Patton and Chris Cornell in one day, 3 of the best vocalist of all time. One of the best days of my life.

[@rodneytrotter3725]

I saw GnR in Dallas in 91 at the old Texas Stadium (where the Cowboys used to play), with Metallica (off their Black album) and Faith No More opening. That was an amazing concert.

[@SinCityVillain]

Every kid who grew up in the 80's hears that guitar intro then the drums and we know what's coming...all-out assault...the last 2+ minutes of this song can't be topped even all these years later... this band just exploded on the scene and it was metal domination. Back when MTV not only played music videos but played metal all the time! What an amazing decade to grow up in!

[@TheRammMan]

Can’t be topped? Think they’d be found wanting if they were playing after Rammstein.

[@robertkroberjr.157]

Headbanger's Ball! 🤘😎🤘

[@DubyaDaLastRepugPrez]

@@TheRammMan Nope. Rammstein can't match GNR's harmonies. Axl and Slash are just musical geniuses.

[@TheRammMan]

@@DubyaDaLastRepugPrez 😂 agree to disagree in a big way 😂😂

[@maldad9073]

I lived this era to the fullest, more concerts than I can count, and I miss it terribly because so much of that feeling has been lost.

[@MySnottyattaC]

Totally with you there! Always a new concert to look forward to - live music beats any vinyl ✌️💚

[@stanleymyrick4068]

Yeah. And I'm not sure about your area, but the local music scene was for real.

[@dialecticalmonist3405]

You want to go back to the Pardise City.

[@grobertson3171]

Im jealous. My parents wouldn't let me go

[@bigscountrygame3510]

Same! 😎

[@MetalphysicalMel]

I suggest you listen to this entire album from start to finish. It'll blow your mind.

[@JonMalbrough]

It's still the best thing they've ever done.

[@user-J.RPoole]

Damn right, lol...

[@dougs3909]

​@@JonMalbrough shit Appetite may be the perfect rock album. It still holds up and is killer from cover to cover

[@JonMalbrough]

@@dougs3909100% There’s not a track on it that I skip

[@TyroneBiggins81]

GNR was the definition of rock and roll. Appetite for destruction is one banger after another.

[@AcornDomainsCancelled]

Sry but Hendrix n Zepplin were many yrs b4 these dudes likewise a ton of other Rock bands..I'd give them very little credit for anything except some good songs etc.

[@Marco-vw3mv]

Duff is an awesome bass player.

[@lowendthumper205]

Fuck Yeah Duff is a Killer Bassist!

[@tsnamm]

Great tone, distinct and up in the mix

[@ivangorman8450]

Absolutely brilliant. He’s a legend. I wait all song long for him to really rock his bass. Well said Macro 🤘

[@gutter570]

People don't realize that he is one of the pioneers of the Seattle Punk scene. Before guns n roses.

[@GodLovesComics]

Always my favorite G N'R song because of the wild energy, so many incredible changes, Slash's solo, and how amazingly cool the band looks in the video. Every element works perfectly and yet it still sounds like a cataclysmic crash in the middle of Rio de Janeiro.

[@chaospoet]

I saw Guns N Roses in 2017 on the "Not In This Lifetime" tour when Slash and Duff (the bassist) rejoined the band after like 20 years. This was the closer. I can no longer hear the end section of this song when it gets really nuts without picturing in my head fireworks, towers of fire erupting up, and about 7 billion tons of confetti being blown through the entire crowd.

[@crowley29]

I love watching your reactions cuz when you start dancing to the songs your emotions and energy are fusing together and you're really feeling all of it.

[@cinnamon962]

Loved the 80’s. I actually met them backstage. Axel Rose was a work of art and beautiful in person.

[@bobs1648]

Aileen, that ending part you are referring to is called "controlled chaos". 🤣And YES, Slash on guitar is a BEAST! 😁👍

[@ronsuper100]

Love GnR! They are true legends of rock!!!

[@JakeKoenig]

This album was one of my earliest memories, being an 80s baby. I feel like Aileen would have fit in perfectly with the Xennial era of classic heavy metal and hard rock hair bands like GnR. She's definitely an old soul.

[@rogerdodger6025]

She'd have been a metal chick for sure.

[@DubyaDaLastRepugPrez]

Guns N' Roses puts on a pretty impressive live show. I saw them perform live in San Antonio a little over a year ago and they played their asses off for over 3 hours with barely a break. Axl can no longer sing like he used to, but I appreciate the effort he puts into it. I'm so happy that Axl and Slash finally worked out their differences and are playing together again, they were born to make music together.

[@BoondockRoberts]

picture being a teenager in the 80's and Appetite for Destruction kicks off. Absolute game changer. Also, those kind of crowds were the norm. I am not saying if we had the tech we wouldn't be the same but look when there are no phones recording and just people there for the music and experience.

[@BarrenCosmos]

You really do pick up the energies and vibes of every song you react to with how much you’re always dancing and having the cutest times 🥹 That 300k is as good as yours soon enough too 🖤

[@MitchClement-il6iq]

[@MrDMF567]

If you haven't heard it yet, check out their song "Rocket Queen"......will always be my fave song by them as it was the first song I ever heard by them....Raw, dirty yet emotional....you'll love it

What a throwback. This was one of the many music videos I was watching over and over again in my teens. Good to see you enjoying it.

The live color footage was from the Meadowlands ( Giants Stadium ) in NJ , missed this show because I was sick as a dog. Black & white live footage is from Castle Donington festival in the UK.

[@meltorme-ntor2933]

We're here because we love GnR and because love YOU! Also, I don't know how many times I've seen this video and never noticed the couple making out! 😆 Thank you for pointing that out! I will now see it every time!

[@Oske.images]

The crazy heaving crowd in black and white at the end. I'll never forget that day. 20th August 1988 Donnington UK. Two young men died in the crush. We didn't find out until after Iron Maiden finished at the end of the evening. A day of great memories But also remembered with sadness.

[@rodjames5771]

Duff is one of the best Punk / Rock Bass players ever.

[@stanleymyrick4068]

/ singer. Was at a dive bar in Memphis (Rascals) and Axl was at a table with a group of girls and the band was up there waiting on him to sing. Duff walked up to the mic and said, ok, I'll sing. Axl jumped over the table, walking across the next table and landed at the mic right when the song got to where the vocals were to come in.

[@sekara9866]

lol

[@rodneytrotter3725]

combined with the rhythm guitar of Izzy Stradlin and Slash on lead guitar and it was a making for a killer sound

[@steveshorrock]

[@timothybenamati6912]

SOOOOO glad that you finally reacted to this. I love the joy on your face throughout the song. You truly get what music is about. Feeling the energy and the build up. Was a great time to be alive!

Some of those shots are from Giants Stadium in East Rutherford NJ, I was there. It was GNR, Deep Purple and Aerosmith. During Smoke on the Water some people in the upper deck lit some seats on fire. What a night.

Hahaha look at youuuu full of joy 🥰🥰🤘 Oh and fun fact: i can conferm paradise city (as of 2018) still gets played with THIS kinda energy live on stage😍 had the pleasure to see axl rose running & screaming 2 times at there own concerts and yeah axel still does that from the front of the stage to the back, towards the left to the right & over again on the old age he now is 🥰🥰 its such a pleasure & experience to see them live rocking young & old side by side out of there socks 🤘🌹

I’m back for another listen. 36 years later and I love this song as much as ever.

[@vaughnnewman8903]

One of the greatest debut albums of all-time, and greatest albums of all-time, imo. P.S. "Ants-in-his-pants" is an expression that pre-dates my old ass-lol Kudos to you for using it so well; thanks for your time and effort!

[@jerryarmand]

Aileen, You are by far the "best" of all of the KZbin Reaction Video Channels out there. I love to Rock Out with You during your playbacks. I really enjoy the time. Keep them coming. Looking forward to the next reaction video.

[@dustinjones8887]

Love your reactions! You're very fun to watch. I was 15 when GNR debuted in 1987, though this song and video wasn't released until early '89. I actually first heard this song in late '87 from all the word of mouth going around on how great the whole album was. A friend introduced me to this song, along with the whole album, and I bought the album after my next paycheck. You could actually do reactions on this whole 12 song 54 minute album one by one and we'd love to watch it.

[@divinedespair4996]

My favorite Guns N Roses song. Thank You for listening to it

[@JAshton1973]

I love this song! Glad to see you enjoying it too and spreading this classic rock jam. Slash and Axl usually grabbed most people's attention from the band. Singers and lead guitars usually do. DO NOT sleep on Duff. This dude IS (not was) and incredible musician. These bass lines were incredible

[@rogerdodger6025]

I like your reactions because you really feel the music.

[@steveaddison4943]

The lower register is Axl, he had massive range (there was/is a video of a show where his voice is done so he sings in his natural lower register and it’s amazing)

[@chazwozza67]

The black and white footage where you stated that’s a lot of people was castle donington 88 up to 120 thousand people. 2 people died during the GnR set the surge and crush was massive I was there it was scary

[@peterokulski9005]

This was the first concert I ever went to. Guns opened up for Deep Purple and Aerosmith at Giants Stadium. We only got tickets because we wanted to see Guns!

[@joshbyers9394]

I first heard this song nearly 40 years ago, my sister was blasting it in her room and I was instantly hooked. My sister lost her battle to cancer a couple years ago and this song was the first thing to play when I turned on my radio. Seeing your reaction to GnR is absolutely adorable and heart warming. Thank you for sharing. Everyone should hear this song at least once. \m/

[@ericgaudet5488]

Aileen great job with your reaction and thoughts on this video for Paradise City from Guns and Roses the clips are from a live concert but the audio is the Studio version. First air in 1988 . This precursor to Atomic Sun from The Warning .

[@uslawman1983]

GNR's original lineup, Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy and Steven was an unstoppable force of nature. Each were terrific musicians/ performers in their own right but together was pure gold. And Slash has become an icon of guitarists on the same level as Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen.

[@MarcKiella]

NICE!! My Favorite song! Heard it first when my older sister dubbed Appetite for Destruction for me when I was 11 years old.

[@kerenolivero7097]

Awesome reaction :) I have been a huge GnR fan since 1990 (I was totally hooked from the very first moment I heard Axl's voice. I had no idea who Axl was & I had no idea who GnR were, I just knew that I was forever hooked from that moment on), and I am still a huge GnR fan. Please react to more GnR songs, they are amazing. Oh also yes, Axl has previously stumbled on stage. He is a very energetic person. I love your channel :)

Saw them in Knoxville Tn in 1990 Hell of a show. Skidrow opened for them🤘🤘 Axel came out in combat boots and wore a kilt

[@Compuman202]

This entire album was killer. Patience is amazing. But the ones they couldn’t play on the radio are amazing too. It’s so easy, Mr Brownstone a lot of there songs we’re dealing with very hard drug use so the radio station refused to play them. But I remember being 11-12 and stealing this cd from my 16 year old sister it was just too good to only hear when she was around

[@ravenmasters2467]

'Patience' wasnt on this album but yes, the entire album was amazing. Bought this on vinyl when it was released, with the original sleeve before it was banned. Possibly the greatest album of all time.

[@fgrillo29]

If I could have been anyone in the world between 1987 and 1991, it would have been Slash. This was and still is my favorite GnR track. I WORE out the cassette single in my Walkman on car trips. Appetite For Destruction is an absolute banger of an album. Slash's 2nd solo that just goes on and on until the song ends is one of my all time favorite solos.

[@KevanCorkill]

Hi Aileen 😊 Absolutely fabulous reaction to Guns and Roses' Paradise City😊👍 You do not talk too much and you are not an over-thinker 😊 You hit the nail on the head every time 😊 All the recommendations for future listening of Guns and Roses are excellent and I look forward to your reactions to them 😊 Have a great day you and Arya 😊👍
