    In case anyone missed the message:
    Lyrics
    Look at your young men fighting
    Look at your women crying
    Look at your young men dying
    The way they've always done before
    Look at the hate we're breeding
    Look at the fear we're feeding
    Look at the lives we're leading
    The way we've always done before
    My hands are tied
    The billions shift from side to side
    And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
    For the love of God and our human rights
    And all these things are swept aside
    By bloody hands time can't deny
    And are washed away by your genocide
    And history hides the lies of our civil wars
    D'you wear a black armband
    When they shot the man
    Who said "peace could last forever"
    And in my first memories
    They shot Kennedy
    I went numb when I learned to see
    So I never fell for Vietnam
    We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
    That you can't trust freedom
    When it's not in your hands
    When everybody's fightin'
    For their promised land
    And
    I don't need your civil war
    It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
    Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
    In a human grocery store
    Ain't that fresh
    I don't need your civil war
    Ow, oh no, no, no, no, no
    Look at the shoes you're filling
    Look at the blood we're spilling
    Look at the world we're killing
    The way we've always done before
    Look in the doubt we've wallowed
    Look at the leaders we've followed
    Look at the lies we've swallowed
    And I don't want to hear no more
    My hands are tied
    For all I've seen has changed my mind
    But still the wars go on as the years go by
    With no love of God or human rights
    'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
    By bloody hands of the hypnotized
    Who carry the cross of homicide
    And history bears the scars of our civil wars
    I don't need your civil war
    It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
    Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
    In a human grocery store
    Ain't that fresh
    I don't need your civil war
    No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
    I don't need your civil war
    I don't need your civil war
    Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
    In a human grocery store
    Ain't that fresh
    I don't need your civil war
    No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no
    I don't need one more war
    I don't need one more war
    No, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no
    Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway?
    Source: LyricFind
    Imagine a rock band sending this out us into the future.
    Stop. Breathe. Think. Save yourselves and others. Where the hell are ya'll going?
    Civil war.
    Do you really want that? Are things really that bad. Do any of us, (all of us) so privileged and ignorant that we do not understand how blessed we are? (I am Canadian watching current events in America and just floored)
    I grew up as a little white girl in poverty. No Daddy to speak of. No wealth for sure. Immersed in other cultures of people in the same boat as me. Seen a LOT of disaster and violence and just general shittyness. But also deeply inspired by people (of (a;ll cultures) around me rising above, working hard. Dedicated and loyal and fair. I could focus on the suicides and stabbings and beating that I saw as a young girl. But i do not see it that way. I observed GREAT compassion, service and examples of love and ethics in a very diverse neighbourhood. I have been jealous of my neighbours in many ways and still am. I observed deep family and community relations that I did not have. Deep tolerance and patience with people not understanding each other. Although, dorky and somewhat awkward, i did not receive much bullying. In fact, one of the scariest situations of my life, I was SAVED from a group of Rastafarians in my neighbourhood. ( a man chasing me in his car to abduct me). So all of this race rhetoric is completely lost on me.
    Any real violence I sew was either domestic or drug related. But culturally, we all figured out how to get along and we took care of each other.
    This is part of MY story ... I doubt anyone cares ...
    The Race Relations in America are absolutely confusing to me.

      i thank you for providing lyrics even though most of us know them. i was hoping he would, but it takes someone like you who, ive looked for gnr metallica and many more "rock reactions" most are rappers hip hopers or some shit reacting for first time, and they all have a misconception of it some think its satanic like some for master of puppets they dont see the true meaning, all this bands from the 80s mid 80s most talked about justice wars drugs, and all the problems they caused, 80s was wild and drugs played a big role, still can believe people way older than me have this old way of stereotyping rock as satanic, its so ignorant

      never say that, why would you think that? you need to convince yourself what matter is you, never say that when giving your opinion, at least I care. all your experiences helped you think that way same for me, and even though we had some real hard times if i were given the chance to change anything i wouldnt, what if im not the person i am today? i myself needed to suffer to be more affectionate towards others and to enjoy something as simple as being able to watch a reaction for a song i love and being able to know there is someone like you who enjoys this as well, happiness earned the easy way doesnt last, but going through all that and still being able to be happy, that will be hard to lose

    I love when people react to songs WITH the lyrics so they can get the message of the song rather than just jamming out to it. Very well done. I would recommend “Paradise City” by Guns N Roses w/lyrics. It sounds like a party song but it actuality Axl is saying something if you read the lyrics.

    Axel rose, for the longest time had the widest range for any vocalist. He has sung notes that span nearly on the low end, from F1, the second-lowest octave in scientific pitch notation, (There Was a Time - from the album "Chinese Democracy"), to B flat 6 (Ain't it Fun - from the album "The Spaghetti Incident?"), and sometimes above it. Rose has a lower baritone than Barry White, and can reach higher notes than Tina Turner and Beyoncé even Mariah. That's pretty much 6 octaves.
    You should react to their song Estranged...It's about unrequited love, acknowledging it and being there, and having to figure out what the fuck to do… ultimately coming out the other side.
    You can put up the video, especiallyif you pause it, I've seen other reactors do it.

  • @MrLjs20
    @MrLjs20 Před 3 lety +13

    This was the path Axl’s mind began going down after they hit fame. He seemed to be the one early on that wanted to stop doing party, drug songs and focus on relevant topics instead. However, once they blew out all their old material on Use Your Illusion 1.2 they never released another creative album. The band broke up and Axl carried on working on an album called Chinese Democracy for nearly two decades. By the time part 1 of Chinese released in 2008 it didn’t live up to its title. We never saw the other two parts but now as the band has reformed with Slash, and the only words Axl speaks publicly are on politics it makes you wonder if they can squeeze out that magic that made this song on a new album three decades later.

    I'm late to the reaction, but absolutely loved watching this. I have been a long time fan of GnR. They are typically remembered in a negative light and highly misunderstood. Their songs, when broken down, have always had a message or story. People usually just assume they had no depth, or real skill. That's just laughable.

    Part of the American Civil War song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" is used at the beginning and end of the song, where it's whistled by Axl Rose.
    Slash (Saul Hudson), Duff (Michael McKagan) and W. Axl Rose wrote this for Use Your Illusion 2, which was released simultaneously with Use Your Illusion 1. The song originally appeared on the 1990 album Nobody's Child, a fundraising compilation for Romanian orphans.

    This song should make everyone cry, and when the tears have dried
    We collectively turn the tide and begin the political genocide
    The scars aren’t ours
    The cowards in the Ivory Towers
    should bear those marks
    Monetary whores
    I don’t want to hear from them
    no more
    Bury the rich
    Feed the poor
    And let history tell the truth
    Of their false wars
    The bloody hands of the hypnotized
    Stripped our pride
    and ostracized our minds
    With forked tongue talk of God
    and human rights
    Sending the sons of others
    To defend imaginary lines
    or die trying
    Their half truth history loses sight
    Once we’ve written what’s right
    War, civil unrest, inequality
    We’ll abolish

      It’s actually not a love song. I used to love her was written by Axl about his dog lol. That’s why you get the lyrics I used to love her but I had to kill her. She’s buried right in my back yard.

    Okay bro, I have a music track I'd like you to check out and I'm willing to bet you won't have heard of it.😁It's called "Shard of Ice" by the Russian band "Aria" and the song is from the year 2002.🤘I want to see your reaction to that one, but it has to be a first listening, no cheating and having a sound peek first.😅 Unfortunately the original video clip was filmed with a potato, it was like 480p, so I have personally remixed it plus added lyrics/subtitles in both Russian & English and reuploaded it onto my channel to give it a fighting chance of getting more listens among a Western audience. Plus I think the reaction will be better as my version is in 4k quality.
    Now as you probably know, I can't put a direct link here in the comments or our CZcams overlords will flag it for spam and it'll get deleted. It's currently the sixth one down on my youtube channel but I will be adding more vids so that is going to change in future.
    To help you find it the title is:
    "Shard of Ice, by Aria. A progressive Russian rock ballad.🤯With English subtitles / translation."
    (if you do decide to do a reaction video all I ask is a link back to my video because that contains links to the band and where to buy the track if people like it...)
