Totally Amazing FIRST Reaction to Guns N Roses Paradise City | AXL ROSE TAKE US HOME BABY!!! 

They formed around '85 and had a EP called Live like a Suicide but their real debut began in '87 with Appetite for Destruction (FWIW, they re-released that EP later on with new material for another EP called Lies). Appetite is one of the top metal albums of all time IMO. As far as lineup goes.... originally Axl Rose on vocals, Slash on guitar, Izzy Stradlin on rhythm guitar, Duff McKagan on Bass, and Steven Adler on drums. By the time their next albums arrive, the Use Your Illusion double albums, Izzy and Steven were gone replaced by Matt Sorum (drums) and Gilby Clarke( guitar)..and I believe they added Dizzy Reed as like a keyboardist. They did one more album with that line up called The Spaghetti Incident (an album of cover songs). The band had a bitter break up and the next GNR album was called Chinese Democracy with only Axl Rose left from the original line up. I couldn't tell you who was in the band at that time. Matt, Duff, and Slash formed Velvet Revolver with front man Scott Weiland formerly of Stone Temple Pilots fame. That band is great. They sort of reunited in the last few years. Adler drums part time now because of his recovering drug addiction(s). Izzy is still out though. As far as that AC/DC thing goes, Axl did sub for Brian Johnson. It wasn't a permanent gig.

This song is from Appetite For Destruction. Every song on that album is fire.

lol its cool to see the youngins learn about 80's rock

The guy with the curly hair is "Slash," Saul Hudson, arguably one of the top ten guitarists of all time.

Axl Rose is widely considered as one of the greatest singers of all time.

Axl is from the Midwest (Indiana) and moved to LA. Paradise City for him is small town life and getting back to simpler things. LA was the opposite where things were a “jungle” Every body is fighting for fame “rags to riches or so they say, ya gotta keep pushin for the fortune and fame” the city is polluted “strapped in the chair of the city’s gas chamber, why I’m here I can’t quite remember” them the line about Captain America is about wanting to get back to the simpler times versus the circus that is LA -“Now he’s a court jester with a broken heart he said ‘turn me around and take me back to the start”’ the album this song is on is called Appetite for Destruction and takes you through their journey of discovering Hollywood. Excellent listen from beginning to end.

My first GNR concert i stepped over seven piles of puke, had two beers spilled on me, saw three fist fights, two different groups of people dragged off by security, had some strange girl grabbing on me (that wasn't awful) and then the band came on. That was a night.

Guns n Rose's welcome to the jungle official

“A band is a pact!” - This girl gets it!

Appetite for destruction is listed at No 1 for debut albums for a band.That whole album is unbelievable.

The guy with the curly hair is slash. One of the greatest guitarist of all time. My opinion he is the best. He’s most definitely the coolest rock star of all time

Axl was in a band called Hollywood Rose. Put Guns together at some point and wrote songs on Pizza boxes. They released Appetite for Destruction at the end of the 80's but it didn't take off, so they re-released it around 90-ish. They are back together now, but were apart for a good part of the late 90's and 2000's.

"Are they still together as a Band?" I feel old as AF when relatively grown up people dont know that...

GNR is truly one of the greatest bands of all time.

I saw Gn'R live in Houston in 1992--and I still consider it the best concert I have ever seen. They put on one heck of a show.

Axl is the only member to not be kicked out/quit. They are currently together. Axl sang for Ac/Dc for a tour. Brian had "retire".

He replaced Brian Johnson in AC/DC briefly on tour. Brian had an issue with his throat.

Check November Rain!! They came out with this song in the early 90's, it has over a billion views. I'm not joking!!!

More Guns n Rose's please

I used to write "Ed was here" in school in the '70s.

I’m 15 and I been jammin gnr since elementary,5th grade I made a whole project on slash and maynee I had the teachers shocked 😂😂💯

Look up kilroy was here.

I think "Paradise City" is our hometown. I was in the military when this came out. That's what it reminded me of. ✌

This album came out in 1987, and in my opinion it is the greatest debut album of all time. I got to see them on this tour, when they opened for Aerosmith and they were so wasted that they could barely play their instruments. But even so, it was a fantastic show....maybe cause i was so wasted myself lol......enjoy🖖

The trick to Axl vocal; he's a baritone; but, he sings in a much higher register; and that's what gives him those cracks.

Most of the original members got back together again in 2017,I was so happy that I finally got to see them in concert on Nov.25,2018 at the Ingelwood Forum I know they were still touring when covid started.The original members are Axl Rose,Duff Mckagen and my favorite Slash I love this band they really put on a great show.

The band broke up. And they are now back together. Their tour is called Not In Your Life Time. Saw them in VEGAS before they broke up and saw them at Dodgers Stadium for the Not In Your Life Time tour. And he is also doing AC/DC

lucky to have seen them twice back in 92 and then a few years ago in slane Castle ireland....they do one of the best covers of all time check out their cover of knocking on heaven's door.....Love gnr

Guns n roses 1984 to 1993 Please react to Dont cry and November rain

@Dean Bros, If you're wondering when Guns n Roses was formed, it was in 1985 in L.A.

Axl Rose (singer) and Izzy Stradlin (rhythm guitarist) were best friends originally from Indiana, until they moved to Los Angeles where they met up with the rest of the band. To answer your question of “where are they talking about?” I want to say Los Angeles is what they’re talking about “Paradise City” where dreams can come true, pretty girls, beautiful scenery. That would be my best guess. They play this song at the end of shows or as an encore, as kind of a “goodbye” if you will, as they are going back home to Los Angeles aka Paradise City

You need to react to the trilogy, Don't cry, November Rain, Estranged

GNR recently reunited a few years ago. I saw them in concert last year in San Antonio. It was fantastic! Axl Rose filled-in for AC/DC, because their lead singer was having medical issues.

Guns and Roses were friends and portions of different bands LA Guns and Hollywood Rose, getting together to form this group. Between 1987 and 1991 they were the biggest rock band in the world. Which back then also equaled the overall biggest band in the world. Their debut album sold 28 million records in the U.S. alone (which is a Guinness world record) and maybe another 40 million in the rest of the world. When most successful bands sold half a million record copies. It's the equivalent of a billion views on RU-vid. But then Nirvana came and eclipsed them in 91.

This music video is totally AWESOME.

I learned to play drums to this album, this song, especially! A long time ago, glad you gave it a chance. 🤘❤️🤘❤️🤘

Paradise City is Lafayette, Indiana, home of Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin. Great reaction…..GNR just reunited after 30 years and I saw a few vids pop up with them performing. 😊

The guitarist in the top hat is Saul Hudson also know as Slash. Paradise City was written in the back of a van while coming back from a gig. Rose said it refers to going home (Midwest) from the jungle (Los Angeles). First time I heard them was 1988. Sweet Child O Mine was being played on MTV. Never heard a bad GNR song. Just wish they would have stayed together and made more albums. Been a great ride!

34 years later still a hanger, Love you two God bless ❤️🙏

They hit the big time.in 1987 with there debut album. Appetite for Destruction

Formed in 1985 debut album Appetite for Destruction came out in 1987 this song is from Appetite for Destruction Axl and Slash had a falling out and didn't speak for over 20 years they finally reached out to each other in 2016 and have been touring together ever since with another original member Duff so 3 from the original line up Axl,Slash,&Duff are back jammin together i always said never say never about Guns N' Roses getting back together...never say never🤘I saw them in concert back in 1991 my favorite band...oh and Axl Rose was just filling in for Brian Johnson lead singer of AC/DC while he was recovering from throat surgery

loved the reaction, tnx guys. hold on to ur lady, she's so pretty, maybe she'll go to paradise city...

My second concert at the Orange Bowl. Guns N Rose's opened up for Aerosmith back in 1987. I was 12 years old. Then a year later opening for Rolling Stones, again at the Orange Bowl. The next time I saw them was Dec 31 New Year's Eve at the then almost new Joe Robbie Stadium. Axel seed during the concert that we are going to make the show a little bit longer than planned. Can you say 2 hours more. We ended up getting a good and happy Axel that day. Paradise City is about is hometown of Lafayette, Indiana. Axle Rose originally started a band called Hollywood Rose. With Tracie Gunns from LA Guns. First the drummer Steven Adler was kicked out for having a big drug problem. Then guitarist Izzy Stradlin left around 1990. The guitarist Gilby Clark and drummer Matt Surum came. Then after Rock in Rio 1994 the band started to break up. Slash first did Slash's Snake Pit. Axel shows up at MTV with a hole other group calling them Guns N Rose's. Slash, Matt, and Duff get together with Scott Weiland to form Velvet Revolver. They break up after 2 albums. GnR gets inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Everyone is there except Axel. And somehow GnR reunited. Just Axel, Slash, and Duff. But Izzy, Gilby, and Steven have popped up at some concerns doing a song or 2 with them. I seen this new GnR 2x at Orlando 2016 and Miami 2017. Ah, good times. Also, GnR was in the Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry movie called The Dead Pool. The movie starts a young Jim Carry playing a musician with a drug problem. He lip syncs the song Welcome to the Jungle. The movie also has a young Liam Nielsen. GnR comes out twice in the movie.

Hands down. Best song from guns ever. Fuckin love this. Awesome video you guys did. Much respect.

Curly haired guy (lead guitarist) is Slash

Saw Guns-n-Roses on their Appetite for Destruction tour in Phoenix 1987. They played in a 2000 seat auditorium where no seat was more than 70 feet from the stage. Our seats were about 35 ft. Dead center. Gotta say it was the BEST place to see GNR! P.S..saw Queensryche in the same auditorium same year

they first started making music together in 1985-86 and then in 1987 they released appetite for destruction which to this day is their most popular album. The most hits. Axl never went to ACDC idk who told you that but that never happened. He played a few shows with them when Brian wasnt able to perform recently, but other than that, no. There has never been another ACDC vocalist since Bon Scott other than Brian. The past few years axl has reunited with Slash and Duff(OG bassist) and they've been doing live shows. They had a falling out in the 90s where Axl was the only remaining member of GnR. They did some shows with new members including Buckethead(one of the best guitar players of all time) but then they started talking again. I just saw them recently with almost the entire original lineup. I would assume a new album will come within the next year or two. If not it will be strictly live performances.

This video is from 1988 filmed at giants football stadium. GNR were the biggest band in the world at the time as you can see the 50,000 people packed in there to see them. They had a few more successful albums before splitting up in 1996. They recently reunited in 2016 and are currently touring and writing music for a new album. In 2016 Axl Rose did go sing for AC/DC only because Brian Johnson was ill and couldn’t finish out their sold out tour. Axl filled in like a champ and got the band through their tour as his voice suited their music perfectly. The guy in the top hat 🎩 with the curls is Slash in my mind the greatest guitarist ever and the reason I play guitar today. When I first saw the video for Sweet Child O Mine I was 15 and was blown away by Slashes playing I got a guitar and learned all their songs. Hope this gives you guys some insight on their legacy and why they are still considered one of the best bands of all time.

This song came out in 1987 on the album Appetite for Destruction. Which is the #1 selling debut album of alltime. And arguably the greatest rock album of alltime.

Paradise City is the home we've never been to and will never be able to find in our lifetimes. But we can dream, can't we?

Appetite for Destruction was actually first released in 86 but peeps weren't ready for it outside of L.A. Then it was rereleased in 88 and MTV played welcome to the jungle on a Sunday night late late at night and it just exploded after that airing and the rest is as they say rock n roll history

"A band is a pact." She gets it.

Young lady is so cute...the "....Was Here" came from 1939, when "Kilroy Was Here" first showed up. Even before my time, ha, ha! Love to see young people get to hear what I was raised on...

You guys make a very cute couple. This song is so much fun. Thx for that 🇨🇦🙋‍♀️💖

He just jammed with AC/DC , helped out on their tour. Supposed to be a reunion tour, had front row in Indy last year but they canceled, got new tickets for '21. God willing

Time for you lucky kids to go to Paradise City, and rock 🎸 out. ENJOY 😉 😉

First part of video shot in Giants stadium East Rutherford in 88. Awesome concert!

My 14 year old daughter loves guns and roses ❤❤😭😭makes a mama proud

Man....how could anyone not know about Guns N Roses??? They are only the greatest rock band of all time!! Axl Rose and Slash are musical legends.

The video came out somewhere in late 1988/ early 1989. Also Axl (singer) Slash ( Lead Guitar) and Duff ( bassist) reunited back in 2016. Different drummer and rhythm guitarist.

They started in the early 80s as the group Hollywood rose and in 1984 became guns n' roses with the classic line up of Axl, Duff, Adler, Izzy, and Slash

Thy came out roughly around 86,87. I was 10 at the time & the 1st song I heard was Welcome to the Jungle. & to a 10yr olds ears, it was Mind Blowing!!! I was never the same again. This was back when MTV Actually played Music. So thy played the Hell out of this song. I used to try to record these music videos on wht we called a VCR. :) Which yer probably too young to know abt & probably never Heard of. ;) But thy always played this song, along w Sweet Child Of Mine. It was a Great time to be young & coming up. Great music was coming out every month it seemed, by So many different bands. MTV played Music. Gn'R was on Top of the World as The Biggest, Most Bad Ass Band around. But Appetite came out 1st. Then followed by 'Gn'R LIES' a couple yrs later. Then in 91, thy released their Masterpiece 'Use Your Illusion I & II'. By tht time, thy switched Drummers. Steven Adler, the original drummer had OD'd on Heroin & just cldnt seem to kick it. So thy replaced him w Matt Sorum. Turned out to be a good choice bcuz Sorum is an amazing drummer. No knock on Adler, but Sorum is just way better. For the early/mid 90s thy were The Biggest, Baddest Most Dangerous band alive. Thy kicked Ass. But, attitudes & fighting broke them up. Mostly Axl bng an asshole. Not Exactly sure wht yr thy broke, but late 90s. Sad sad time. But thankful for wht thy gave us when thy did.... Another suggestion u may or may not have heard-"Walk This Way" by Aerosmith & Run DMC. The video is pretty cool, u'll like it. But tht was the beginning of the Mixing & collaboration of 2 completely different music genres. Rock & Rap... Anyway, thanks for the video.

The band is back together and they just released a new song today called Old Skool and it’s got a great sound, classic GnR.

More GN'R please!

Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Izzy Stradlin & Steven Adler were the original band. Steven was fired in 1990, Izzy left in ‘92, Slash left in ‘96 & Duff left in ‘97. Axl had entire new band, with different members at different times between ‘97-2015. Slash & Duff rejoined in 2016, so with Axl they have 3 original members back along with Dizzy Reed, Frank Ferrer, Richard Fortus & Melissa Reed. Axl joined AC/DC on the last 2 legs of their 2016 tour, but didn’t leave GN’R.

Late 1980s. This was at our discos. Back then. On appetite for destruction Album. One of the Biggest selling album of all time.

If you haven't already, check out these two songs by Guns N Roses: 1. Patience and 2. November Rain Two covers that I really like by Guns N Roses are: 1. Knockin' On Heaven's Door and 2. Live and Let Die

My favorite Rock band. They were so great in the Time and they still are. This is one of my favorite songs. His vocals are out of this World good. 🤘

Yes,,still they are making tour all around the world, recently they came here in the Philippines,,no axl rose did acdc while gnr had a long rest,,

First of all, there isn't a way anyone can describe Guns N Roses, because that would be like trying to describe the Mona Lisa. They were truly a band out of their time, and a band like non other. As soon as Appetite For Destruction came out, 1987, Guns had the whole world in the palm of their hand without even realizing it. Truthfully, no one has ever come close to Guns, and no one ever will in my opinion. The very definition of paradise, is what the guitar riff you here in your mind when your bored in school, or when your in the car and hear the very first note of the song. And yet a voice of Skin and Bones starts peaking it's way out and all of the sudden you got the endless energy of Axl Rose coursing through your veins! Or when your just going through those moods when your alone, and you just need a song that takes you back to "yesterday" there's always sweet Patience, or November Rain, So Fine, and Rocket Queen. There's a soul in every song and every word, and I'll be willing to best if it's Guns N Roses, it must be heard🤘🔫🌹!!!!

Back in the late 80s i use to hang out at pool halls every weekend. Owner had a juke box with every song from appetite for destruction. When i heard paradise city it was time to beat some ass at pool.

Love watching young people open their minds and ears to the great music of the 60s 70s early 80s music.

Yes they are still together. Axyl just did a guest appearance with AC DC for their tour. G & R are currently touring.

Guys you need to react to more 80's metal/rock... Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Skid Row, Whitesnake

Watched sweet child of mine on MTV in 1985, my daughter was born DECEMBER OF 1984.

Band was formed in 1984... debut album 1986 APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION had this song on it.. PEACE

He filled in for Brian Johnson couple years back...Gnr broke up in mid 90s..Just starting touring with just three leads..Axle Slash and Duff...saw them last year. In Charlotte NC

They are still touring I have tickets for next year since this year was canceled

Kids...GNR best band ever. Glad to see you expand your music...btw we older folks like rap and hip hop too.

Awesome video! Y'all so young together.. Stay strong and safe. CCR have you ever seen the rain.

guns n' roses is like my favorite band ever since they came out with their first album appetite for destruction. I didn't read much of the comments just the first couple of them that it shows but Axel only joined AC/DC because they needed a singer and Axl stepped up to the plate as long as it didn't interfere with the guns n roses concert dates at that time. I don't know how many gnr songs you both have did a react to so far but they have a lot of awesome songs. Not sure what type of music you guys are into but try to react to some Godsmack they got some killer tunes

Axl was singing about the Midwest where things was simple , innocent where he would want to be rather then on the road , as well LA which is where the band is from is their Paradise City

Axl filled in for AC/DC to finish their tour. He can not be kicked out, he owns Guns and Roses. They did break up, and were quoted when asked about getting back together, "not in this Lifetime". Over the last 4 years they got back together for a tour named "not in this Lifetime", and its one of the biggest tours of all time, making over 5 million a gig as a band. Also in true Rock and Roll bad ass frontman form AXL, refused to show up and preform when they were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The song Paradise City is off their debut album. Which to this day is the top selling debut album of all time!

❤ da LUSCIOUS locks of bands back in the day!

GNR has been around since 1985 !!!!!!! The current line up is Axl Rose - Vocals Slash - Guitar Richard Fortus - Guitar Duff McKagan - Bass Dizzy Reed - Keyboards Melissa Reese - Keyboards Frank Ferrer - Drums

I was 6 when I first heard Sweet child o' mine. I'm 34 now and have been listening to their songs everyday for the last 28 years.

Saw them with Metallica I’m ‘91. Ya’ll would have loved it! It was raining and thundering during Metallica and was perfect

Axle Rose filled in with AC/DC but was just starting a reunion tour with most of the original members. Late 80s early 90s NO BIGGER BAND. Try November Rain official video ...promise. Saw them 2016 AMAZING 🤯🎶✌️

The song was written after the hell tour. Duffs old band had a cook out for them And while everyone was parting.. Axl wrote about wanting to get back to LA

In my opinion paradise city is the best rock and roll song ever made....they jam the hell out !!!!!

1987 was their debut year, with their album Appetit For Destruction, which quickly got them a spot among leading rockers of the time with such hits as Welcome to The Jungle, Rocket Queen and Sweet Child o Mine. Paredice City is his ideal version of heaven, like he's a kid as the city is the candy store, with everything he needs.

Axl was in AC/DC for a little bit touring with both them and GNR in 2016 I believe. GNR are still going and I believe they are recording new music. Current line up is Axl, Slash, Duff, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer, Dizzy Reed and Melissa Reese

Stuff off of the first album Appetite for Destruction has all the songs that made them famous. Raw rock n roll. Once you get into Use Your Illusion I and II you see a band with full record label backing them up and VERY polished music and recording.

He was born raised in Lafayette Indiana until he was 16 or 17 hitchhike out to LA

The one with the curly hair is slash. And the lead singer Axl Rose did not go to be with AC/DC. He just replaced Brian for short while while Brian was recovering from AC/DC..This is '80s rock hair bands. I grew up in the '80s as a teenager listening to all these rock and roll bands. This is nostalgia for me. Bring back a lot of memories from the 1980s..

Love you guys banging and rockin on. Next "Civil War" or patience

This music video is from 87 and Axl left to feplace Brian just because he had some health problems. He, Slash and Duff Mckagan are still together in the band. This song is from their debut album Appetite for destruction.

Slash - real name Saul Hudson born in Stoke on Trent in U.K. Axl Rose real name William Bailey from Indiana. Slash is actually mix race whose mother did fashion work for David Bowie back in the day. Concert footage in the video from Donington Monsters of Rock in U.K. back in 88.
