First time listening to GUNS N' ROSES - "APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION" (Side 2) 

My Michelle = underrated

0:17 Muy Michelle 5:31 Think about you 12:04 Sweet child O'mine 18:34 You're crazy 23:18 Anything goes 28:37 Rocket queen

Man I love this album so much! Rocket Queen is still my favorite. Always loved that it's like 2 different songs in one.

You are a beautiful person and a beautiful soul. You reacting to this album will go down a one of the best decisions you ever made in life😉

i will never understand why Think About You isn't their biggest hit that and Rocket Queen def my favorite. In my opinion best hard rock album of alltime

It's time for Use your illusion now!! Great reaction!

I think Rocket Queen is such a fancy cool song. so much creativity and skill

I can't say which one is my favorite song...each and every songs on this album will be my favorite, so aggressive and so raw, so rock and roll 🤘 PLUS - The second part of Rocket queen ❤❤❤the bass line, the drums sound from the back,,, the guitar solo,, the rhythm section,, the voice,,, the heavy and loud melodic tune 😊rocket queen,,, i just love it

14:13…that line about “as a child I’d hide…” is Axl talking about his stepdad beating the piss out of him

Think About You was mostly written by Izzy Stradlin, and Izzy played lead on it while Slash took a rare rhythm part!

Rocket Queen is definitely my favorite. How can it be this was 35 years ago?

"It's like starting this song out so sweet and then, bang!, change up." I think you'd really like the story behind "My Michelle." One of Axl's female friends asked him one day to write a song about her. So he did. He wrote a nice sweet ballad type song, but as he listened to it he realized it wasn't really about HER. So he went back and rewrote it, making it a heavy, dirty, nasty song about the person she really was. He played it for her and she absolutely loved it.

Each song on this album had it's own personality, never would or will be replicated. Still remember the anticipation, even the smell of the cassette when i took it out of the plastic. What times....

I never noticed the hand claps until you pointed them out! You so Rock!

One of the last great things that happened to rock. Fucking amazing album.

I've loved this album since 1987, it's always cool when people discover great music for the first time, you rock 🤘😝🤘

Time for use your illusions 1 and 2!! Some of slashes best guitar work!!

The opening riff for Sweet Child o' Mine came from a warm-up guitar scale that Slash would use before playing. And it became one of the most recognized guitar licks of all time.

Well, they usually love to close the concert with Paradise. And believe me, you leave the concert with a Big Smile!!!! Rocket Queen is one of my favorite songs of this album. They always play that song. I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Listen the "Use Your Illusion" albums. You're going to love them!

Rock on!!! This album was played at all the party’s in the late 80s to mid 90s its wat got the party STARTED!!

It was fun seeing her reactions, can’t believe she hadn’t heard the complete album before now. Children need to be taught in kindergarten that Appetite For Destruction is the greatest album of all time.

Köszönöm! Csodálatos volt újra hallani ezeket a dalokat több mit 30 év elteltével!

Slash wrote the beginning to sweet child as a practice to pick alternate strings. He was always trying to learn when Izzy heard it and started putting chords to it. Slash hated playing it cause he said it was cheesy. It took a long time for him to like it after seeing the fan’s reaction to the opening notes

Pretty girl. Naturally pretty, too. No need for a pound of make up, etc. Great personality as well

Verdy rocking out is one of my favorite things to watch!

This album stood as my favourite album for 30 years (OMG I feel old !!) only being surpassed in the last 3 or 4 years but after seeing your reaction and listening along to it all over again it's nudging back to the top. It certainly is the album that changed my entire outlook on music and life in general. Thanks for the reaction , super glad you enjoyed one of the greatest albums of all time 😊

they were branded with the title "the worlds most dangerous band" by parents and media back in the day. i always found it hilarious that the last line, in the first album, from the most dangerous people, was "all i ever wanted, was for you, to know that i care." edit: thank you for doing whole thing. love what you do.

Love your channel and your reactions to great music. I was lucky enough to see Guns in concert and it was worth the money.

When Welcome to the Jungle hit MTV it was a game changer!! Sad a lot of years of music was lost, Good they’re back together touring, hopefully something new from Guns N Roses in the future!!

Great reaction to the whole album 👍. In 1987 music was starting to change back to a harder, more stripped down sound. You could see it in the clubs and start hearing it with Guns N' Roses. I had a lot of mixed tapes and CDs and EPs from local and regional bands across the West Coast and they sounded nothing like the music from 1982-1987, I thought we were going back to a Punk and pure hard Rock period by the late 80s and we kinda did, too bad it ended before the end of the 90s. "Old music eats new music" probably the most accurate thing I heard last year.

This album came out when I was about 19-20 years old. I wore it out then, and still listen to it now. My top 3 rock albums are 1) Back in Black/AC/DC 2) Appetite for Destruction/GNR 3) Shake your Moneymaker/Black Crowes. Those three albums....not a bad song on any of them. Three albums that you can listen to from beginning to end, and not hear a bad song.

I felt the same in my first time 36 years ago ❤ thank you for making this video! ❤❤

When this album was released as LP and cassette, there were 2 sides and for 'Appetite for destruction', the record's first side was dubbed "Side G" (the guns, the hard rocking songs)... second side was "Side R" (the roses, the songs about relationships and love) 😂

I loved this reaction and your vibes. I was enjoying the same as you. This album maark my teenage times (in 2007 haha)

Rocket Queen is my fave track on the album. Verdy I strongly suggest you watch some of the tracks of this album live, especially Nightrain, It's So Easy & Rocket Queen, all Live In Tokyo 1992 as then you'll see them at their best.

Love Verdy! ❤️

Greetings from Oregon. I'm so happy I subscribed.

Great Reaction to such an iconic album Beautiful young lady.. Glad that you enjoyed it 🤘😘.. Hello from New Hampshire U.S.A 👋

Thanks for the reaction. Keep up the full album videos and I think your channel will grow quickly. So nice to see the deeper cuts when everyone else is doing the radio hits

Still my all time favorite album, it never gets old. Not sure where you are from but you have a beautiful accent! I truly enjoyed this video. Both “Use Your Illusion” albums by them are great too (almost as good as this), you should check them out as well. Cheers from the U.S.

"Panties around your knees with your ass in the breeze" lol (Anything Goes)

Today I discovered your channel and I loved it 👏. Greetings from Argentina🇦🇷!

Great reaction to a fantastic album. Thank you!

An relatively unknown album from them with some real bangers on it is ‘the spaghetti incident’, the songs are g’n’r versions of british punk bands

GNRs legacy is a moment in time. A great classic album, they will never be this band again and in all likelihood will never write another note of new music, which is sad, but again, the legacy is a moment in time that will never be recaptured

Fun fact:The "where do we go now"part came from Axl not knowing where to go with the song after Slash's solo.haha!

The very first song They Wrote and did as The Band GNR was the song Don't Cry .VERDY you hear that when you reach the use your illusion Albums from that one.

This 1 of the greatest albums of all time. And don’t forget Steven ‘Popcorn’ Adler on drums. He helped make this group too.

Really enjoyed your reactions on these! This album really changed the face of rock music in the 80s, as many other commenters have pointed out. Slash was my first guitar hero when I was 10 and I'm still amazed and inspired by so much of what he did on these Guns albums. After you've gone ahead and listened to G N' R Lies and the Use Your Illusion albums (which you simply must do immediately! can't wait to watch!) I would love to see you react to some of their live material from the early 90s. I'd say, along with Queen and Metallica, Guns N' Roses in the early 90s were among the most awe-inspiring and exciting bands ever to watch in concert. They produced a full-length concert video in Tokyo on that tour, and I also remember watching live when they did a pay-per-view show in Paris, which is also not that hard to find these days. A couple notes for you on some questions you had: - The strange guitar-like sound on "Anything Goes" is a guitar being played through an effect called a talk box. Essentially, it runs the amplified guitar sound through a silicone tube into the player's mouth, so he can shape the sound with his mouth the same way you do when you speak, and then it gets picked up by a microphone just like vocals. Peter Frampton made it really popular in the 70s, and many other rock guitarists picked it up after that. - You mentioned that "Rocket Queen" would be a great set closer. In fact, Guns always ended their shows, at least from 1991 on, with "Paradise City." The opening song was either "It's So Easy" or "Nightrain", I guess depending on how well Axl's voice was warmed up. The second tune was "Mr. Brownstone," and then they'd kind of do whatever they felt like for the next two hours. Every show was an adventure. Also, don't miss their music videos from the 90s! "Don't Cry", "November Rain", and "Estranged" form a sort of trilogy, and they're all epic productions.

Somehow after listening to this album 1,000 times I’m just now realizing how much more incredible it is with headphones! Whoever produced, engineered, mixed this album is the GOAT. And Izzy doesn’t get enough credit. Slash overshadows him but man he is a force on this.

All I'm going to say is that I love your videos. Clearly I am not alone, as it's only 8 months since your 10k subs Q&A and now you're closing in on 30k!

bit corny, but this lady earns the title of Rocket Queen, her reactions were honest and true.

Not a surprise this is one of the few albuns with all songs in my usb pen i use while driving. 12 out of 12. Came out when I was a 12 yo kid and 26 years later is still on repeat mode, not an easy task. Saw them life in Lisbon a few years later and, even with Axl acting like a proper rock diva, still one of the best concerts I've ever been (Guns n' Roses, Faith no More and Soundgarden...)

I don't think miss Verdy has any idea what they're singing about, it's refreshing 😁

Straight and wild!! One of the best Rock & roll albums of all time!! My favourites: "My Michelle" and "Think About You"

In the top 5 albums of all time. Thats on my life.

Just finished watching both videos of this album. I'm so happy that you enjoyed it and seemed to rock out to it. From start to finish, this whole album was perfect. I was 11 or 12 when this came out, and grew up on rock, led zeppelin, pink Floyd, the police, etc... but this band was, to me, my generation of rock. I was a huge Axl Rose fan as well. I saw them in 1992, during the Use Your Illusions Tour. And I'm so happy I did. I've seen them two other times, 2017 & 2021, after Slash (lead guitarist) and Duff (bassist) reunited back with Axl. I'm not sure where you live, I'm assuming somewhere in Europe?? If so, they are actually touring Europe in June and July of 2023. Starting in Spain on June 9th - and going from there. I would highly suggest seeing them. I do have to tell you that Axl's voice ( higher registry) is gone, but his lower registry is on point still... especially for being 60-61 now. Slash does a lot of solos and carries the show, along with Duff... and to see Slash it's well worth it and seeing them live. Hope you're able to see them. And also check out their other albums as well. Enjoy the music journey. Take care from the states 🇺🇲.

Hey Verdy, another good album from around this time period is Electric from the band The Cult.

This is truly heaven

On Anything Goes Slash is using an instrument called a "talk box" which is a tube that goes in your mouth. You blow through it and can create sounds like a distorted guitar

This was the definitive album of the early 90’s. This album was the soundtrack to a major part of my teens. An absolute banger of an album.

It's easy to see why this is one of the best albums of all time. It's just constant Hit after Hit, adrenaline pumping on the edge of your seat music with a rebel bad boy vibe and a cheeky young girl smile yet it just feels so good.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🥝🇳🇿

Great reaction! (to both sides)

@26:23 is a voice box it uses air to make those sounds. Joe walsh uses it among others

Me encantó tu reacción con este grupo, Like

can’t wait to see wat u think if Rocket Queen especially the break🌋🔥🌋🔥

Its just pure passion and sheer brilliance 🎸

This takes me back to 1988 when i first heard it. I was 8 and my 4 Years older brother bought The record. I was instantly hooked.

Rocket queen best song on album there for best rock song ever 🍺🎸🎸

An awesome album. Completely love your energy!!!!

Greetings from Oregon. Yeah I'm too old for ballet, so my 23 year old cat and I just heard bang. Lol. Great upload.. thanks

I'm so glad you got to hear the greatest debut rock album of all time. I'm a massive fan. And I know you will be now You now must get into the rest of their stuff You'll love it

Welcome to the turmoil that is Guns and Rose's. You stepped into in now. Have fun going down this path!

it’s time to bring both “use your illusion” albums

Also, guns and roses SECOND best album is called Use Your Illusion 2. You should check it out. Estranged is my favorite track on it, but there are several great ones.

You were born too late. You would have LOVED this era.

ti really need to watch the 1988 concert, they play most of the songs off this album. you will love it. AND yes they play Rocket Queen as the last song!

Steven always loved his cowbell

You’ll need to check them live, because It’s even greater. Rocket Queen Live at Tokyo ‘92 is a must watch

Iconic is exactly right. Well said.

This album was a parent's worst nightmare.

Once again... yes!my sentiments exactly about Rocket Queen ( especially that last part 🔥)as the ending to the album.Amazing!

Love that little "Led Zeppelin moment" in "My Michelle" at 4:30 😅

Everyone instantly knows the Sweet Child rift, you are correct. They played in Birmingham, AL at Legion Field arena and we had torrential rains before the concert so it turned into a giant mud pit.

VERDY you did a great job with your reaction for The Appetite for Destruction Album from Guns and Roses. Side Note For the video for Sweet Child Of Mine from Them it was directed By Nigel Dick the same Person who work with Britney Spears Baby One More Time Video.

nasty guitar riffs, thundering drums, whaling vocals! Dang! This generation just doesn't know!

You got the Zeppelin poster in the back great :)

The best band ever.

Finally someone else heard the claps in Think About You! The sides of the LP where called G side and R side. The Guns side have sonngs about drugs, drinking, the livin' on the atreets. At the Rose side they talk about relationships. Yes, there was a guitar makin' the solo at Anything Goes, using a microfone togeter to give "voice" to the guitar. And the "left-right" guitar at Rocket Queen are impressive, aren't? If the bass left some space in our attention for them...

Seen these guys about 16 times now. Best band in the world for me. Saw Slash and Myles 4 times when they were a thing. Yeah I like these guys 😀

Rocket Queen is bar none the best closer I've ever heard in an album. The outro always gets me in the feels. They actually used to close their concerts with a tune called "good night tonight". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bxbhc3Yg0SM.html

Just found your channel through the Guns N' Roses, Appetite for Destruction reaction videos. I had to subscribe real quick, your content is awesome. One of the best reviews of such a legendary album I have seen, you pick up on so many details most would miss out on and you have such an inspiring personality. You should totally check out the 'Use Your Illusion' albums when you get the chance.

Amazing reaction....this album kill me...as always....

HOLD ON TIGHT, me lady .🚀🪐Every song 💯🔥🌋🔥 Fewww albums can truly be crowned “”NO-SKIP””

welcome to the GNR World, listen Use Your Illusion I and II, you gonna never believe it!

Don't stop. Even after you can whistle in your sleep the intro to their song "Patience", keep going. Peace/JT

GnR is still touring, if you get the chance you should definitely go, they usually play for 3 hours and change, and they still sound awesome.

Anything goes solo is Slash using a talk box a tube that leads from the amp to your mouth, sound is channeled through the tube and you use your mouth to distort the sound and create talking like effect sounds

Rocket Queen forever!!!! Hope you enjoyed the greatest album of the 80's and perhaps the greatest of all time.

The best album ever
