You like the guitar solo of this song, then check out the instrumental intro of "Xanadu" by Rush as that was the original that was put into practice sheet music for Slash to practice and Axel heard him playing that "Xanadu" riff and said, "Sounds like you've got a song there" not knowing Slash hadn't come up with anything. But best guitarist, please! You need a real education on guitar. Ooh, Baby... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2WSTDy0mJPA.html The Supernatural... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cC48etW-Xs4.html The Green Manalishi... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZjOD8i-8uWY.html Oh, Well... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0yq-Fw7C26Y.html Black Magic Woman... (Santana's version of this bands song absolutely sucks by comparison, due to the guitarist Santana sucking by comparison) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hRu7Pt42x6Y.html Now this is the only band in the history of the world to out perform "The Beatles" in all metrics: albums sold, concert tickets sold, and play on T.V. and radio appearances to do it while "The Beatles" existed. But even more telling was John Maynall lost Eric Clapton and the band showed up for practice seeing his stuff gone and heard Eric Clapton left and John Maynall said, "Don't worry, we got someone better. You won't even miss him." After the practice was over their new guitarist left and the whole band said, "You were right. We'll never miss Eric Clapton" and sure enough buy any John Maynall album with Eric Clapton and from the new guitarist and all the albums by him were better than anything Eric Clapton ever did in that band.
one of the greatest in rock & roll. it is timeless and so recognizable. same with the intro, it is unique. nothing in music sounded that like, before or after. great reaction video! 🙂
It is old. Listen to the opening instrumental of "Xanadu" by Rush and you'll understand why it was in a practice sheet music that Slash was playing when Axel said 'that sounds like a song."
ALL backing vocals on this album we're done by Axl. He originally sang in his natural lower voice, but one time he got mad and screamed a lyric in his high pitched voice. One of the girlfriends was there and told him that he should sing in THAT voice. He tried it and it worked. So he kept that voice, but you can hear his normal voice in songs like Mr Brownstone and Double Talkin' Jive.
@@BisscuteReacts You should watch an interview with Axl Rose like in the late 80's early 90's. He has a very low speaking voice he probably, not even exaggerating, has one the largest vocal ranges of all time
This song came out about the same time my daughter was born. The first time I heard it, I cried thinking of my beautiful blond haired blue eyed Angel and every time I hear it, I still get choked up. Two years ago we had our father, daughter dance to this song at her wedding. And I'm tearing up while writing this.
I had a similar thing with an enter shikari song everytime i hear it it chokes me up. I got a sweet sleeve to remind myself how strong those feeling were at the time
This one of the most iconic guitar solos of all time. A beautiful blend of slow and soulful leading into straight badass with a wicked use of the wah pedal. GnR had the ability to write some amazing songs and a lot of that is down to the Slash / Axl dynamic
Axl wrote this for his gf Erin Everly. She's the daughter of one of the Everly Brothers. This video also features all the band's girlfriends at that time.
He wrote the lyrics about her but saying he wrote the whole song Is incorrect. It started as slash doing a warm up and they liked it and made them write a whole song. There was also originally a third verse but it was cut and instead we just got the repetitive where do we go now
@@amoshmamo3116 Axl had the lyrics written. When Slash fooled around with that riff, he knew it would fit. I know this because one of my close friends is Robert John.
The lows during the "Where do we go now?" part are Axl. His vocal range is 5 octaves and a semitone, debatably 6. The only singers with bigger ranges than him are Mike Patton at 6 octaves and a semitone (Faith No More), Kyo at 6 octaves and a semitone with a debated 7th octave note (Dir En Grey), and Tim Storms, who holds the world record. Also fun fact: the "where do we go" breakdown was literally Axl asking where the song was going next, he didn't know what to sing, so he started singing that and the producer told him to keep going, and it wound up in the song.
I think that producer part is false. It was him trying to get credit or something but you can look up live performances of Sweet Child O Mine way before they they recorded appetite for Destruction and it already had that part in it.
You cannot overstate how popular this song and band were when it came out. It was on every car stereo and television at full volume for months if not a year.
One of the major things about Axl as a singer is his enormous vocal range. Some articles state he can sing as low as bass and even as high as actual soprano. There are other songs like “Mr. Brownstone” where sings the majority of it in a lower range. In fact when I first had a copy of this album, and heard that lower range I thought it was a different singer.
W. Axl Rose (vocals) wrote the lyrics to "Sweet Child O' mine" as a love song to his then- girlfriend Erin Everly (recorded in 1986, released in 1987)... they were briefly married in 1990, but Axl was extremely volatile and unpredictable back then, so it was not a productive relationship. A photographer friend of their said, when it was good, it was good... but when it was bad, it was horrible. There were a lot of problems between them... (Erin Everly appeared in this video briefly... she also did the video for "It's so easy" which was banned back then). Axl filed to annul his marriage to Erin Everly... she sued him in court and won a settlement... NOT a happy ending. Axl was later involved w/ supermodel Stephanie Seymour (who appeared in the videos for "Don't cry" and "November rain") ...but they also broke off their engagement by 1993 and she sued him and won a settlement as well. The actual song came about as a joke... Slash (lead guitar) was rehearsing w/ the band and he showed off this 'circus' riff... he didn't intend to use it as a song, but Axl loved it and quickly put a song together on that riff.
I was really into these guys in the early 90s. Love rediscovering them through your reactions! They're amazing. I recommend the song "Civil War" by them, really good song both lyrics and music.
Congratulations, you have unlocked my all time favourite song. This entire album is a masterpeice, it is definitely the kind of album you can play from beginning to end without wanting to skip any songs.
This is one of the most iconic songs and my favourite of all time. The solo has been ranked as one of the best ever. People come to Guns N Roses concerts just to hear this song. If you have not done November Rain then this is a must. Even more epic than this one. You should do the Ballad Trilogy. 1.Don't Cry 2. November Rain and 3. Estranged (Guns N Roses most epic song). They are telling a story but you may need google the exact meaning behind each one.
Love your reactions! I really love your smile when that guitar gets going. Makes me so happy I could cry. "Child" is a term that is interchangeable to "baby" in these cases. People often call their significant other baby. It basically means a love that is precious to you as a child or baby would be.
These songs whether its from Queen, Guns and Roses, Metallica, Deep Purple etc etc etc are all great memorable songs and wonderful videos. I love them all as they were very much a part of my growing up years in the 1970's and 1980s. My LP abd CD collection cotaind so many of the songs you feature and now watching your reaction, your smile and you hand shoulder head and arm waving to these songs only adds to my pure enjoyment of these tunes. I love it when a keyboard, drums or guitar solo kicks in and i see the expresdion of fun and enjoyment lights up you face andyour eyes widen with the feelings you are hearing and experience for the first time. I love your content and your research 😊
Those were great times in my life for sure. Memories only now. Slash was drunk most times back then. They wheel him out and prop him up and he'd play the shit out of that guitar..
The Where do we Go part was done bcs the producer thought it needed a bridge. Axle just started singing Where do we go, where do we go now...trying to think of lyrics. The rest is rock history.
I love watching your reaction videos to the bands I grew up in the 80’s and saw in concert. It speaks volume of how great these bands and songs were and still are. As far as the title and lyrics. This song was about Axl girlfriend that would go on to be his wife for a short time. What he is describing is her sweet love reminds him of being a teenager and having that first love. The song came out in the late 80’s either 88 or 89.
@@Dizzy1980 My goodness what a year Guns and Roses with Appetite for Destruction and Motley Crue Girls Girls Girls. Man what a year, I saw the Crue that year for the first time but far from the last.
The Guns N' Roses frontman, Axel Rose has the biggest vocal range of any other singer. A chart, put together by Concert Hotels, shows the highest and lowest notes each artist hit in the recording studio and even the song on which they hit them. Axl Rose came out on top with a vocal range of 5 octaves and 5 semitones, from F1 to Bb6, but he can hit higher notes from time to time. (The highest was on the track "Ain't It Fun" from 'The Spaghetti Incident" and the lowest was on "There Was A Time" from 'Chinese Democracy'.) * [BUT, I have recently heard the "Faith No More" singer is more capable than Axel so I must look into him his name is Mike Patton.]
This album (Appetite For Destruction) came out in 1987 or 1988 (I forget which). Other hits from it include Paradise City (which I think you already reacted to), and the album-opener, Welcome To The Jungle. Other good tunes from the album include Rocket Queen, My Michelle, and You're Crazy.
I started binge watching your reactions yesterday. Love the reactions and also the fact that you now know who the “curly guitar player” is 😂. Keep up the good work.
@@ckobo84 True. When mankind got away from orchestra type music (Beethoven etc..) into swing, big band, rock n roll etc... = further into self-destruction mankind was getting trapped into. Now, mankind cannot get out of it. Trapped into furthering itself into even more lack of control. Very sad.
thus music video is infamous for a few reasons but the primary one is getting them all in one place and sober enough to perform this was one of the hardest jobs of the 80's. and that's not including the the band tension at the time. Their behind the music docu is amazing and a must-watch if you can find it.
I recommend Yesterday ,Nightrain ,Don't cry ,Mr Brownstone, knocking on heavens door ,it's so easy , You could be mine, Think about you, Estranged, Civil War, Dead Horse excellent songs thank you.💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💚💛❤️
I really suggest you to react to some LIVE stuff from them. Maybe Paradise City at Freddie Mercury Tribute concert , (Dont Cry , Estranged , Patience LIVE Tokyo 1992) Civil War ,Welcome to The Jungle LIVE Paris 1992 etc
Can't believe You're reacting to this song today. I have just met you over on twitch. Because I wanted to introduce myself after seeing your reaction on the scorpion song still Loving You which was so cute by the way. I don't know what this real meaning behind this song is . But you're right in a way that it is about a child. Back when I was much younger and did a lot of great artwork. My best friend at the time gave me two photos one of himself and one of his daughter they had been separated for a little bit because of a divorce and he was heartbroken. Then he asked me if I could combine the two photos and make a portrait of them together in one piece. And on top of it he called into my calligraphy skills and had me write down the lyrics to this song because it meant that to him. And I have to say it's probably one of the best pieces of art I've ever done in my life. Sadly after they were reunited a year later you suffered a massivef heart attack and fell down dead at that spot. I don't know what happened to that piece of art don't know what happened to his daughter they used it as funeral but then again I lost my best friend his daughter disappeared to the winds. So this song holds a special meaning to myself. So I thought it was a hell of a coinkydink, coincidence, that you reacted to this song day after we first met on twitch thank you I must say I haven't heard it and I have not listened to it since then. Which sucks because it is the most perfect song the lyrics are to die for no pun intended but I can't say it without bringing a tear. Thanks for restoring up cherish memory. 🌹🤘🎸 Rock on. 😆
Axl wrote the lyrics for his then girlfriend Erin Everly. Also, Axl has that deep voice. He's a second baritone and his vocal range is one of the highest among pop and rock singers.
Wow, a lot of goosebumps during the song ♥♥♥♥♥ I feel the voice, the guitar, and the last part... WOOOOOOW! It's like, WTF Axel? Are you the god of rock? XD Amazing react Biss as always ^^ Another good song of GNR you can react is November Rain, it's a ballad. I think you can like it :)
The song is about his then girlfriend later wife who is actually the girl shown periodically through the music video. Another cool thing is Axl brought in his actual girlfriends into the music vids like November Rain, too
Nice reaction, now think about this was a edit version for the video clip. The full version it's even better. You must see and live the Guns N" Roses masterpiece trilogy Don't cry there're 2 versions November Rain and Stranged
Saw these guys live in LA just before Appetite was released. A good night for Axel since he seemed sober. And Slash was totally on point. Fucking kicked ass.
To answer your question about the term "child", it was written about his wife Erin at that time. in USA someone may call their sweetheart "child" or "Baby" or "Little girl" but it means his sweetheart, or wife.
Axl is practicing with the band and playing around with his voice one day. He starts using the iconic voice we now identify with him as goofing around. Couple other bandmates tell him to keep doing that. He's a natural baritone if you've ever heard him speak. Just playing around with his voice and they liked it. He had always played around with his voice because he was in choir back in school. This was the first time he was playing around with the band and it was before they blew. Don't know if there's any truth to this but somebody in here can put me in check and let me know. Good reaction. Too bad they had to split when they were at the peak of international Fame.
