- Thanks for checking out our Guns N Roses reaction. Civil War is spot on given the recent events in Afghanistan. We listened to this song just before the pull out turned tragic. This song needs to be heard by everyone. It's so applicable to current events.

I still think this is one of the most underrated songs in history. You could drop it in any period of time and it would be perfectly relevant
Agree. Thirty years ago to today. As relevant as ever.
@@sharonspiller7427 💯To me, this is the best protest/history-type song of all time and I go back a long way, lol. The lyrics hit you hard.
How about mid-19th century?
not the early 90s. there was no george floyd, brianna taylor, black lives matter, lgbtq bullshit. maybe it is relevant today, but in the 90s it was just a song about a relationship between 2 people, and war in general
100%
Lex: "I think Axl and Slash must be best friends..."
Everyone: "Oh dear..."
I just laughed so hard at this
Same, if she only knew
They were once friends but that was definitely years ago.
@@voltakackackack4303 reminds me of that line from Alice in Chains "No excuses" that goes you my friend I will defend and if we change, I love you anyways. Somewhere in your heart the love might always be there. Definitely memories that never go away.
@@voltakackackack4303 I hope you are doing well and that you are cherishing every memory you had with your friend. Thanks for sharing this with me.
I grew up on GN'R my grandfather hated their music he always taunted me calling Axl Rose, (Axl Grease) well when the Civil War single came out he definitely changed his mind. He was a WW2 Vet. And that song struck a chord with him so much he had a lot more respect for my music from then on. I can't listen to Civil War without thinking of my grandfather. R.I.P........
Wars a fucking racket.
I grape with the same green father. It was close the same thing you’re saying.
great grandfather
He was apart of the greatest generation of Americans. That generation and the one before sacrificed so much
Axl was one of my nicknames growing up, among others.
"What we have here is failure to communicate"...classic line from COOL HAND LUKE
Love him or hate him, Axl Rose is a musical genius. He's even in the Guinness Book Of World Records for the greatest studio vocal range ever recorded.
His range was eclipsed by Mike Patton from Faith No More. Axl has a 5.5 octave range, Mike Patton has a 6 octave range.
@@vinniedixon1140 No, after hearing "Chinese Democracy ", the record changed. They both have 6 octave ranges.
@@nathankrush3289 Mike Patton has more than Axl, I promise you
@@vinniedixon1140 No, he doesn't. I've heard both and am a trained singer myself .
Not quite, but very few singers have a 5 octave range, so might as well be true
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
― Benjamin Franklin
The funny thing about that quote is Ben was saying that the government shouldn't give up its freedom to tax its citizens for a one time donation from the Penn family to help secure the frontier. It's now taken way out of context since it's pro government taxation and long term funding for the military.
@@antimatter2380 Yep, ive also read the original context of the quote.
I have not, so learned something new
“Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.”
- Edmund Burke
@@antimatter2380 Its funny how some times we didn't even intend to learn such a lesson.
It is really sad to me how songs like this will always be relevant. We'll never change.
"I'm not going to screw over the next generation by being a coward and handing over freedom".. BRAVO!!! Many more people need to hear this! Most relevant statement of our times!!
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
-Ronald Reagan
@@oldschool4382 Funny quote considering how monstrous Reagan was as president and how much he fucked up our country to the point where we still feel the effects to this day.
5:50 - “I’m not gonna screw over the next generation by being a coward and giving up my freedoms.” Just so much goddamn YES!! This is why we love you Brad. 🙏🦾🇺🇸
Damn right Brad
@@sattymike0155 Wish everyone had your mindset. Sadly our freedoms in the US are slowly trying to be taken from us by fear mongering of the media pushing a certain agenda.
This is one of the best quotes. Brad you the fuckin man
I was thinking the same thing about brads comments. That's truth once you give it up you would have to fight to hopefully get it back.
👏❤
You nailed it brad, once you give up power to the government you never get it back.
Amen to that Neil!
Amen, Brother!
@ADELBERT and that's why the Democrats are so intent on getting rid of guns, they know that the people will have the ability to rise up against the corrupt government if their armed.
Guns N' Roses has been my favorite band since I was 11, I am 45 now and they are still my favorite, watching Lex jam to this song brings so much happiness to my heart
Same here mate
Same. And I played this song over and over again when I was a teenager. Then I went and joined the Marines.
I can relate, im 44 lol
45 myself
Turning 70 in June. ♥️ I remember being at work and waiting to hear the premiere of this song on the radio. Luckily my boss wasn’t there because she hated G’n R.
Guns N roses most underrated song. What lyrics!
"What's so civil about war anyway"?... Always loved that line!!! 🔥🔥
War can be civil when is war for liberty. It will be mistake to forget that.
Up to now liberty and freedom were given to ones ready to get it through war.
It is long discussion,but is the case. It is neither without it not for free that freedom comes.
And up to.now civilizations that neglected or did not trust to proper extent the significance of this lost their freedom, countries, civilizations,identities.
It takes some months of reading past events to see the trend.
Root cause for the need of above? Imo what Nietze expressed in will of power which will lead to above.
The stronger are not satisfied by what they have and want more and eventually ask for it, and then is war or giving your stuff-land-cultures-properties-freedom-choices-time etc.
This fucking song rocks and his voice back in the day was insanely good, there's nobody like Gnr
I beg to differ. I know that sounds pathetic...haha...but AIC or Layne and Cornell could sing the phone book
@@mateo98100 I totally agree, now that I think about it axels voice probably sounded best on record but live was a nightmare, he was always canceling shows. But yes Chris and Layne were the best by far
Axl was so good in studio. Even Chinese Democracy has some insanely good vocal runs. This I Love comes to mind.
There really hasn't been a band like GnR since. I mean, what the hell has come out since the mid 90s?
@@VicInNocal not a ton unfortunately 😕
Brad, sometimes your calm analytical demeanor irks me when I want you to be as enthusiastic about a song that I love similar to the way Lex gets into it. But then damn man, you just kill it with your analysis like this. You, and Axl, were spot on in this one. Liberty is always one generation away from being lost.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
-Ronald Reagan
Mis the Gipper (RIP)
Never voluntarily give up freedom. Well said.
This song came out just a few months after I returned home from Iraq after the first Gulf war. Even though US casualties were minimal in that war, I saw first hand the death and destruction we caused to the Iraqis. My son was born just a few weeks before I deployed, and I remember looking down at a dead Iraqi soldier about my age, and wondering about his family, and his life. Did he have children? They try to dehumanize the enemy, but they're just like us. They bleed, they die, they have families. They didn't want to be there.
The same reflections that Faramir has... my friend. Saludos desde España
No Truer Words said 💔💔
Finally someone who says is the way it is! Thank you so much 👏🏼
No more wars. Paz en el mundo
damn dude, i left iraq and got illusions 1 and 2 in fulda. ain't that us? not fresh. us?
The whistling at the intro & outro is “When Johnny Comes Marching Home” a popular American Civil War era song from the 1860s.
And the opening is from Cool Hand Luke.
Spoken by Strother Martin
The riffs throughout the song are from WJCMH also.
Hurah! Hurah!
One of the most imporatant anti-war songs of the last couple of decades..Hell i'd say one of the most important ever written.
Yepper Many Truths in these lyrics from several perspectives
Hmm they’re commies
I really love how she enjoyes the music of the song!
November Rain, Estranged, Don't Cry, You Could Be Mine are all excellent songs to hit next
Night train, My Michelle, Mr. Brownstone, Coma... So Many Great songs 🎵
Yes November rain guys! Check it out! All these songs listed are bad ass!
I just heard Estranged a couple months ago for the first time and can't stop listening to it. It's sooo good!
Not just excellent but THEIR MAIN HITS!!! Lol CLASSIC SONGS! LEGENDARY
YESSS
Fun fact: After they split up Axl was asked about a reunion and answered „Not in this lifetime“
After they reunioned in 2016 (I think) they went on tour and named it „Not in this lifetime“. Saw them in 2018, Slash was great…
There back now too 2021
I caught that tour in Miami and it was fantastic! You're right, Slash was phenomenal! The whole show was just stellar.
Was so cool to see it all full circle... I saw them as a teen as the opening act for The Cult in New Orleans supporting Appetite, and again a few years later on the Illusion tour (w/ Soundgarden opening). Both shows I'll never forget! Never in a million years did I think I'd ever get to see them again. A lot has been said about Axl's voice in concert, but all three times I've seen em he was absolutely FANTASTIC.
@@jodymorgan9392 which they are still friends and had another tour planned and maybe an album.
Oh like when the Eagles toured under the name hell freezes over because that's when they said they would reunite.
Saw them in Tulsa 2018 was absolutely amazing
This songs has so many truths, he totally speaks the words I feel, specially the line "it feeds the rich while it buries the poor".
There are some songs that never lose their meaning and even became more actual in time, civil war is one of them
The intro is taken from the '67 movie classic Cool Hand Luke, and is spoken by Strother Martin. This is one of my favourite GnfR's tracks.
I like how Lex gets into the vibe of a song, soaking it all up. Then Brad,
' wait a minute' 😉 breaks the song down and makes sense of it.
Great reaction from you both 👍👏👏👏
I used as a text alert on my phone got some strange reaction lol
Yeah it's the warden guy talking to the other inmates about James Deans' character who of course ate like 50 eggs or something while he was in jail. I mean not really, but really lol...
The whole double album " Use your Illusion " is amazing
This never seems to be anyone's favourite GnR song but I unironically think it's a masterpiece. I'll die happy knowing that I saw them perform this live from a few feet away.
And a great opener for the album 🍻
The line “D’you wear a black armband when they shot the man who said peace could last forever?” Breaks my heart every time I hear it.
It’s about the assassination of Martin Luther King and how people wore black armbands as a sign of being in mourning and also to protest the war.
When Axl was little, his mother took him to a protest to hear MLK speak and it had a lasting effect on him.
He's talking about Kennedy. After he got assassinated they had black armbands. To show support of the Kennedys.
Granted they weren’t best friends, Axl and Slash definitely had chemistry. Axl was more than aware of Slash’s talent and most of his resentment towards Slash came from the fact that Slash would get wasted daily and nearly died form drug OD multiple times. But as far as Slash goes nobody could make the guitar find the perfect tone to fit Axl’s emotion better than Slash. The 6-7 year span that they worked together created some amazing music
No, Axl didnt' give a one single fuck about Slash getting wasted, they both were using smack, his biggest resentment is that Slash finally realized and called out the fact that Axl is an egotistical, racist douchebag, and went on to better things.
@@sunshynff Sorry but I'm not so sure about the better things part. Axl was a prick for sure but he did have talent. The whole band did. When they separated and all went off there own non of it sounded as good as when they were together.
Most of the Guns songs was written by Izzy Stradlin and Axl. In my opinion, Izzy was the real songwriter, and Slash did a great job doing the solos and fills. In my opinion, Izzy was more relevant as Slash. After Izzy left the band, the chemistry was gone too.
Axl probably cared about Slash too much. It has been cited multiple times that he loved Slash like a brother but felt slash was throwing away his greatness to substance abuse. Axl just felt like nobody was there to care about him, he didn’t feel ready to tour in the 90’s and was told if Slash or Duff died it was on him. So he went along with it and said he set out to make everyone’s life miserable because of the way the UYI tour was handled.
Slash did leave because of Axl’s nature. Honestly they began heading in different directions musically. Axl got into punk, grunge, nine inch nails, and Slash just wanted to keep making appetite. Axl writes melody and lyrics first and then hands it over to the band to figure out the other instrumental arrangement and Slash would write guitar songs first then hand them to Axl. Neither wanted to do it the other persons way.
The opening dialog is from the movie Cool Hand Luke and the part where it says "We practice selective annihilation of mayors and government officials for example to create a vacuum..." is a quote from a Peruvian war general, according to Axl Rose. Great song off of a great album! GnR, as a band, dominated the late 80's and early 90's. They seem to have come out of nowhere and just exploded. I was 17 when Appetite for Destruction was released and was blown about by the grit and power of that album, which still rings true today. I was already a heavy metal fan from Metallica, Megadeath, Anthrax and Slayer... the "big 4" but GnR was different in a whole other way. Kinda like when Nirvana and the grunge sound blew up in the mid 90's.
"I feel like this song will never get old. Hopefully it does." Amen.
I could feel Brad taking a time to think about the lyrics, it's a timeless theme indeed and make us think a lot about wars and the hate splitting people apart.
Lex, it's really magical how Axl and Slash's tone and music fit so well, it blens so good, it's not just a guy playing guitar in an amazing way, it's a guitar talking to the voice of Axl and giving the music the feeling that it needs.
A true sign of an artist greatness is how their music can still be relevant years, decades and even longer. The greatest artists music is timeless!
I think writing about war has something to do with songs staying relevant, sadly.
GNR will withstand the sands of time regardless though.
Never agreed more with Brad than his take on keep your freedom in your own hands
Naaahhh. He seems to be saying a smaller government is better and I could definitely disagree with that. Not without getting into a big debate though.
Axl Rose. The man of a thousand voices. He is like a chameleon in his vocals. When I was a teenager I honestly didn;t realize for years that he sang the entire lead vocal on "It's So Easy". I thought that he was sharing vocals with Izzy because his voice sounded so different at times in that song that I couldn't believe it was all Axl singing.
The entire first half of the video I can literally see the wheels in Brad's mind turning. Normally Lex steals the show with her incredible beauty but I was waiting for Brad's commentary this time. He likes to think and this is the perfect song for it.
This song can definitely be related to any war really, the best line is feeding the rich and burying the poor
I love how Lex just feels those guitar solos. Lex what you talk about with Slash and Axel is Slash's guitar brilliance coming through.
GNR such underrated songwriters. This song is a masterpiece.
This song is perfect for what this country is going through right now.
i always thought this was one of their best songs. axl's voice, slash's guitar, the lyrics-great song.
And I think you're right, Karen!
A perfect example that hard rock isn't just "noise".
Also, a perfect song for Brad & Lex...
Left-brained for Brad with lyrics that carry a strong message and are easily understandable,
and Right-brained for Lex with creative songwriting along with strong musicianship.
ok dr. schizoid...simple, but inaccurate, analysis of their personalities
7:50 this is the most heartwarming thing I've heard in a long time. Axl and Slash had a very complicated existence together, and still do. And I love that you recognize the innocence and the beauty in their musical relationship.
This song will never get old and needs to be heard. Whether people realize or acknowledge it, we're fighting our own civil war in our country right now. Brad, your analysis is spot on as always!
"You Could Be Mine" GnR did this song for Terminator II. It's excellent!
Btw, Slash teamed up with Myles Kennedy (Alterbridge) and released some AMAZING music. My personal favorite is "Ghost" live from Stoke, UK
Check out "Starlight" Acoustic Live Max Session 2010, somewhere in Australia not sure of exact location. After I heard that, I couldn't believe that tune wasn't released that way rather than "Electric".
are u sure about T2? i think its for Terminator: Salvation
@@jasKSG Definitely T2: Judgement Day, the official video is full of clips from the movie, also I was there when the song and movie came out
I saw Slash and Myles Kennedy live in 2019 and they were incredible. They have a nice acoustic of Sweet Child O' Mine.
I actually like more of Myles Kennedy singing this song, can't explain why, maybe more modern production?
Love Brad's "Freedom" speech! Tell it like it is! 🤜🤛
This is one of my absolute favorite GnR songs. They hit it right on the head when they put this song out!
I really love the way she got involved and let her flow with sound and lyrics it was absolutely enjoyable!🎶
This is a timeless song with a timeless message.
When Brad said “They probably aren’t trying to learn lessons” that really hit me hard. They’re not, are they? 🥺
I've heard the song a million times, but listening to you guys and taking my time I realized it was a rift on the song "When Johnny comes marching home again." Thanks for the heartfelt commentary.
My favorite line in the song is "What's so civil about war anyway? Only a few lines into the song and your conversation gets deep. I admire both of your insights.
Civil War and Don’t Cry are my two favorite Guns ‘N’ Roses songs...two of my favorite songs regardless of band!
Can't tell ya enough how happy I am you guys reacted to this particular GNR track.. it's by far one of their greatest...
My all time favorite song by them
A lot of songs can never get old ,the moment it gets old is the moment hope is lost
One of my favorite songs from them of all time.
This is one of the best G&R songs ever, and yes TIMELESS for sure. just all around a great song
A true music lover doesn't get stuck on genre. The symphony of instruments sucks you in like an undertow. Life is so much more beautiful with a soundtrack.
I have told everyone I talk to that you can find good music almost anywhere. If you are listening. I could have as much fun in a blues bar or in a honky tonk as I could in maybe a club in Memphis or Atlanta. I could have as much fun in a mosh pit. Good music reaches out and grabs you. Rock has a special spot in my heart. But so does rap. Country. Gospel. Blues. I love music.
I get it, I get asked all the time "what music do you like/listen to?" my answer is always the same, "I listen to exceptional music, anything that I feel & that moves me. Yeah THAT is music I f@ck with."
@@jonathanhuggins654 @Jesse E. You both get it!! That is exactly what I meant.😉
@@sutherngirrl7590 this conversation reminds me of the movie August Rush for some reason. If you're not familiar with it, I highly recommend it. It's about how we are all connected by something. That something could definitely be music.
@@jonathanhuggins654 I know it well! We are all connected by frequency and music 🎶 is just that.
Brad really digs metal when they start spitting facts, you can see the little smile on his face. Priceless
Brad I like how you totally get this song. It completely applies to today’s times, and yesterday, and sadly probably tomorrow.
I have always felt that this was one of GNR's best songs. Definitely in the top 3.
Like any other track, created by any artist, it speaks a lot of truth, and as far as I know was never played on the radio.
If there is truth to the message it will not get pushed to main stream.
I may be wrong, but I had a radio on 90% of the time back then and I do not ever recall hearing this played. I found it on the album (sorry - CD).
Brad is 100% correct, I also believe that this song will survive the test of time. Humans tend to not be bright enough to learn from the past.
We will continue to behave the same, and there will be many more conflicts in the future.
The dynamic of GNR is that Axl brings the musicianship and lyrics while Duff and Slash bring that hard rock and edge. They are total Yin and Yang. And that's what made them have conflict with each other. But also combined as a powerful dynamic.
It can't be overstated how much Duff brought to the band in terms of arrangements, let alone the bass parts.
just found your channel today,watched a dozen vids. Brad hadnt said much in most, now we see him connect with the lyrics and speak wisdom. Love seeing lex letting it out in all the vids while Brad is absorbing it.
Brad, " this song never gets old, I hope it does..." I agree man, love you both!
This is my absolute favorite GnR song. That intro is from the movie Cool Hand Luke. Bravo, Brad and Lex.
Fantastic movie. One of my favourites
I was going through the comments wondering how many I'd go through before somebody referred to Cool Hand Luke.
Hands down, this is one of the best songs ever created and best reactions. Such powerful and thoughtful commentary.
This song came out 32yrs ago in Sept. An still holds true to this day. Ask is a lyrical genius.
that album is incredible, axel has that voice that whenever he says a word that ends in y or ied...well it just sounds awesome.. MYYYY HANDS ARE TIIIIED!!
One of the main features of Axel was the voice range. It went from low pitch to rough high pitch easily.
The opening monologue is from the classic movie Cool Hand Luke. This is "late" G'nR,, Use Your Illusion
how many boiled eggs did he eat ?
If this is late GnR, what is Chinese Democracy? Zombie GnR? lol
@@maxis5650 truthfully, not even GNR.
Oooooohhhhh Brad, this one hit you. Man, I love this side of you. Lex, as always, you are so much fun. This is one of my all-time favorites from GNR. There's a big message here, still going on today. I know I am 1.5 years late to the party, lol but I definitely loved the reaction. BTW, I didn't see anyone else mention that Axl is actually rated one of the best singers of all time. His range is insane.
Oh my god thank you for noticing the connection between Axl singing and slashes guitar, I thought I was the only one who felt like I should be singing the guitar parts because they are so intrinsic to the song xx
Axl is playing the piano, November Rain is a song where it's more in the forefront. It's one you want to make sure you watch the video as well.
On this song, the piano is played by Dizzy Reed, I believe.
This has always been my favorite GNR song. I also think Brad was absolutely spot on with his opinion about giving up your rights to the government. Great reaction y’all!
This is in my top 10 songs, such an EPIC song.
Young man, you nailed it. I've been listening to this song since the day it came out. I often wondered even way back then, if people would realize the death of the song and what's really going on in this world. Love y'all
November Rain and Patience are incredible as well.
"I went numb, when I learned to see" ain't that the TRUTH. Alternating numbness and desire to act...to do more.
It's good seeing music bridging the gap, and bringing people together.
Always loved AR wide rage voice ! It is raw unique and I have listen to lots of his music with GR etc over the years and he def is a great singer ! I am impressed that young people like you are even listening to music that is and will be timeless and are classics! Thanks for sharing you 2 are precious gems!
Axle is on the keys!! Check out November Rain and Don't Cry
This was a good song of a real good album. Yesterday and 14 years are a couple other slightly lesser known but darn good songs off the album.
Don't forget Don't Damn Me.
@@cmr8er8 one of my favourite all-time guitar riffs in Don't Damn Me
This was the first album(s) I remember taking the day off school to line up for on release date. I feel old
Breakdown, Estranged, Bad Apples, etc...
Hell yea Lex! Your reaction at “My hands are tied”.was exactly what I was expecting.
Brad you’re absolutely right. Song will never age but we hope it does. Well put bro.
I listened to the 'Use Your Illusion' albums so much as a teenager that to this day I have every single Slash solo from both albums memorised.
I’ve always liked this song but actually reading the lyrics with it makes it powerful
This song is Timeless! It is speaking volumes right now for sure! Definitely need to check out November Rain it is Epic! Knew Lex would come around, Axel reels you in lol🤟🇺🇸❤
So glad yall had the lyrics with this. This song is so relevant, much more today than when it came out
This is my favorite Guns and Roses song. It definitely has a message. All great songs has a message.
Hold that freedom, Brad and Lex. Keep it in your hands. 💪
Brad! I agree whole heartedly with your statement about giving away our freedoms. You nailed that right on the head. Great reaction!
Thanks guys. Never read lyrics. Eye opening. Lex is Brad's yin- yang. Perfect duo
Brad, after listening to your stance on Freedom, I felt I was listening to my own mind.
Thanks
Michael A., SFC, US ARMY, Retired.
I'd like to add... throughout watching you both during this entire song, I really think you both compliment each other so well. I think... Brad, you keep Lex grounded and cause her to look within to see things she may have not seen without your words. Lex, you push Brad to enjoy things sometimes without thinking so much and to find fun even in a serious setting. And on another amusing note: Brad looked like he was deep in thought listening to and understanding the words; whereas Lex looked like she was enjoying the music and harmony of Axl & Slash here. Lex looked like she was about to explode.
I'm glad you guys finally reacted to this. This was a really underrated song when it came out because as teenagers, it was probably too deep to really get into. As kids, it was all about kegs, parties, friends, and blasting Metal til' the speakers almost blew out. It holds a lot more meaning for me today than it ever did back then even though the message is the same.
I remember listening to this song on a tape in third grade, I always knew what it was about.
@@naeshort7909 I always knew what it was about too. It just didn't hit back then like it does today. As a teenager, nobody I knew was sitting around talking about politics, government, wars, the rights and wrongs of the past, present and future, etc.. We were too busy being kids.
I remember listening to this as a kid, asking my mom what civil meant, and what civil war meant - I still understood what the song was about, but on a much simpler level.
I did not understand what "Little Tied Up" was about tho...
My favorite G 'n' R tune. Your reaction rocked! Nice to see Brad getting in to it as well. Keep fighting the good fight. ✌
This was one of the few G & R songs where they dropped the bad boy party badass guise and showed us a piece of their souls. It might be the most honest pieces they ever did. That's why you are feeling it.
November Rain is a must for the piano playing!! Great reaction..I Love this song
And the insane piano parts on "Breakdown" !
This will always be my favorite of their incomparable catalog. ❤
Love you guys, keep up the great reviews 👍
Exactly, NEVER give up your freedoms. You nailed it, Brad. You know what time it is!
