I LOVE how at the beginning Amber said she wasn’t really a ‘rock’ girl but since the’ve reacted to 80s/90s rock, her inner rock chick has made an appearance. Who can resist?! 😁
When this dropped in 1987 it ripped the world open. This was a type of thing that wasn't played on the radio, but it broke on MTV and people demanded it.
I remember the concert from the ritz mtv did
Indeed. It was crazy. And it didn't matter what scene you were into, you had to be into these guys. I was into thrash metal and hated everything that reeked of hairspray with a passion, but there was just no denying this band.
@@amaurydieguez5779 I love the Ritz concert they did in 88. Should definitely react to some songs from that. Mr Brownstone would be a good one.
Thw video blew up MTV's phone line before the internet even existed
I don't even know how people figured out MTVs phone number right
When this song dropped, MTV declared them the saviors of Rock 'n Roll. It was a hot song, and just blew people away. Great reaction!
Not quite. This song was re-released three times as a single because it didn't get over. It wasn't until Sweet Child O' Mine became a big hit that this suddenly became popular too.
This song came out when I was 15 years old. The family Christmas party was being hosted at my house. I was really into Bon Jovi, Poison and Whitesnake at the time. It was early and I didn't even realize they had arrived yet from out of town but out of nowhere my cousin comes in my room and says, 'I want to play you something'. He dropped the Appetite cassette in my boom box (we had boom boxes back then) and pressed play. Welcome to the Jungle is the first song on the album and when it started my jaw just hit the floor. Whenever I hear this song I still think of that moment and your response to it pretty much mimics what mine was. Years later, my cousin died from exposure in a snowstorm but I will always remember him introducing me to Guns n Roses at that Christmas party.
I was also around 15 and heavy into all the pretty boy glam bands when AFD was released. My aunt, who is only about 10 yrs older than me, handed the cassette over and said "listen to this...loud". I no longer speak to her but I am grateful she introduced me to GnR.
Damn bro sorry for your loss but sounds like a great moment to remember
I was also 15 when this came out...Does anyone else wanna make a comment about the actual video has changed ....mandela effect everywhere!! Even this music video... Great music great time to be a teenager...yes! Agreed!!! Anybody notice what isnt the same ??? Its wrong its changed you guys !!! Anyone else notice ????? Wow.....someone??
@TristramCoffin Play this at your next Christmas party. Let em know you're cousin is still with you
@@kristapendergrassguardascione please please tell me?
This was the first track on their number-1 selling debut album. When that opening riff hit you knew this was a different vibe, and you knew it was gonna be wild.
When this album hit, I thought to myself, rock is back.
Those first notes say “The age of hair metal is over. REAL metal is back”.
@@laurakali6522 same. I bought the Cassette Tape of Appetite for Destruction in '88 and was blown away.
@@chrislira3574 exactly….
That riff is iconic and everyone knows what band it is
The sad thing is that the amp Slash used for the recording was stolen and will always sound a bit different live. If you read his book he even says this
OMG I AM DEAD!!!! This was like watching two little kids in a candy store!!! I loved it guys!! Great reaction!!
My exact thought too! Nice! 🙃
This is my Era I get a kick out of watching the younger generation get excited about GNR. 😆
They talk too much thruout the songs.
You got that right QUINNY! Great reaction!
Perfect description!
That whole Appetite for Destruction album is 🔥🔥🔥
Still one of the greatest debut albums of all time. Just blew all those 80's hair bands away. Fucking attitude album. Thank you Gun's 'n' Roses.
When these guys exploded onto the national music scene, they completely buried everything out there. Every song on the album is mind-blowing....every single song.
🔥🚀🚀🚀
🤘😉🤘
🔥💯
Not completely. On the Billboard 200, "Appetite for Destruction" seesawed w/ Def Leppard's "Hysteria" for the top spot from the end of July to the beginning of October in '88 (w/ some interruptions by Steve Winwood & Tracy Chapman), until Bon Jovi's "New Jersey" reached #1. Though AfD topped the chart again for a week in February of '89, interrupting Bobby Brown's "Don't Be Cruel".
Very very true. Every. Single. Song.
Appetite for Destruction is one of the best albums ever made!!
Totally agree with you about that, I've played the cassette over and over without skipping a single song cause they are so good
@@gabrielledormuth4634 same here😂 great album
I think it is also the best selling debut album, ever, and by a comfortable margin.
Axyl Rose was the most unique singer ever. His range was amazing and his talent for Rock music is phenomenal. It is almost as if he was born to Rock litterally
Too bad he trashed his body and voice through all his indulgences.
@Almost Average and fine as hell😭
World of Ron, You haven't heard Josh Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet?
Is the most unique voice, not was.
@@edwardgomez5616 he's not dead but can he still sing like he used to?
I was 17 when this dropped. Imagine listening to this and seeing them OPEN for Aerosmith. I promised myself I'd play this for my grandchildren. Alas, I never had children and frankly feel sorry for upcoming generations who will probably never have the experience to see that brilliance in person.
Did you see them open for Aerosmith? I did in 1988 at the Cayuga County Fairgrounds and my world was never the same
I was 13-14 when this dropped, and now my kid is almost 12, GNR has most definitely been in her “musical education”. She doesn’t like it as much as KISS and AC/DC, but she likes it.
Saw the Aerosmith / G&R show at Alpine Valley, WI - summer 1988.
Axl was late causing a one hour delay in G&R taking the stage. Pretty ballsy for an opening act.
@@deendrew36 I was 14 when this song dropped & I have a 30 year old daughter who has bought more of their vinyl/albums than I ever did of theirs though I felt I was a fairly big fan of theirs, @ the time!
* Time flies too fast or rather, I wish I could go back to 1987/88 sometimes, oh well savoring the thoughts of good times past will have to do instead, lol!
@@aryansigrid I was the same age….those were the best years!
Seriously one of the greatest openings in rock history. Just nasty.
One of my life’s highlights is hearing slash tease the opening then hear Axl scream “YOU KNOW WHETE YOU ARE? YOURE IN MONTANA BABY”. Waited 30+ years for that lol.
Completely agree with you. I tend to think that this, and AC/DC's "Thunderstruck", are the two best intros in rock history.
Korn “blind” intro is legendary!!
Just don't see them live, always disappointing
The secret sauce that makes Guns and Roses go is Duff McKagen, their bassist. Listen to him closely. He's unreal good. Not flashy and out front, but an amazing musician.
I totally agree! Duff is one badass bassist and a helluva nice guy.
@@briandobson5135 Are you listening to Chris Jericho's podcast? Every week Duff calls in with a very lame dad joke, it's just pure gold.
The isolated bass track is actually available on this very website. There's a LOT going on there...
My biggest gripe on this song is that the bass solo is way too short. Lol.
Just like Level 42 , they’re both good 👍💯❤️🤗
The first notes of a debut album that changed the forever changed a music genre!
Scary thing is it’s now 35 years old!
No this was off of their first album, Appetite for Destruction, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest rock albums of all time. It is the Same album that has Sweet Child of Mine and Paradise City. Start to finish there's not a bad song on there and you really need to check it out
Yes, Slash is the definition of cool. And his guitar is so distinctive...he's a legend
Seems like in the era when all the other hair bands guitarists where just shredding, Slash comes along and plays the blues.
@@gregorymoore2877 He does! So bluesy, funky, just love it. He's got so many old school influences, and it shows.
Slash is great, but Izzy complimented his style perfectly
And so fine!! 😏
That's about as perfect a song as you can get. This was the 1st song I heard from them when they came out,and was hooked
well, this was their first hit song in the US so you were there from the start!
First hit, first song, first album.
@@matthewdrake4385 ah I was wondering if this was their first album, the whole thing rocks 👍
They did record an EP about a year before . Their discography is like this: Appetite, Lies ( half demo/half new stuff, Patience was the big hit), Use Your illusion 1, Use your illusion 2, Spaghetti incident ( mainly cover songs), Chinese Democracy and an upcoming Hard Skool EP that drops next month. Pretty much from 87-94 they were the main band.
This was their "debut" song...imagine hearing this when it came out (like I did). Everyone loved them after this! Oh, and we DID listen to this over and over (and it was on MTV every time you turned it on) :)
During the Bengals Super Bowl season of '88, they adopted this as their theme, and it has stuck ever since. Hard not to get pumped for football when you hear those opening notes.
There's not a single song on the Appetite For Destruction album that's bad. Seriously Jay, you need to put the entire album on your phone.
Facts.
95% of G&R is awesome
I dare you to think off the top of your head a bad Guns N Roses song (times up) see you couldn't do it could you
The two versions of Crazy are my fave contrast.
Truth
@@tjhunger8644 Some would probably say One in a Million just due to some of the lyrics, song is still very good tho.
For me this song was stunning. And I mean I was stunned. I watched MTV constantly. After years of Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Poison, et.al. when the opening chord of this hit, I was actually rooted to the floor. So much harder than what had come before. I loved it. It was the beginning of the end of hair bands, imo.
Come on man, don't be calling Def Leppard a wus band? They're early stuff was about as bad ass and epic as GNR. The first time hearing "Rock Of Ages" was pretty equivalent to "Welcome To The Jungle" ... at least for me.
I think Guns N Roses was the last gasp of real Arena Rock, that big sound that could fill stadiums.
Definitely unfair to lump Def Lep with them. C'mon now.
The chemistry that these guys had is incomparable. Just imagine what could have been…
Who Dey! Yes, this is our song. And the Bengals are going all the way! This so rocks our stadium.
Fun fact, I was a bartender at the hottest night club in St. Louis back in the day. I saw these four "dirt balls" walking in. They in no way fit the dress code. I asked the doormen, "Who let them in?" The said "they're some new band."
Was that before or after the riot in 1991
@@sjgavenger37 before .. 1989ish
Guns n Roses was influenced a lot by Aerosmith, you can tell in this song how Axel Rose was inspired by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith! You need to check out the song - Sweet Child of mine !
They already reacted to it.
They've reacted to that one already. :)
One of the best debut albums ever.
The lead in on this song is one of the most masterful pieces of rock music ever... EVER!!
It sounds like a descent into madness. Previous to arriving in LA Axl Rose was a small town Indiana boy. The Glam metal scene of southern California in the Early 1980's would have CERTAINLY seemed to be arriving on another planet. AMAZING!!
This entire album is FIRE!
Guns and Roses "November Rain", "Patience", "Paradise City", "Sweet child of mine" ❤️
Patience is the only one of those they haven't done yet. I think they'll love it.
"Civil War"
I saw guns n roses open up for Iron Maiden in 1987 I was a teenager back then I will never forget that 👍
Guns and Skid Row were my first concert ever at 14 years old. I’ll admit I was to young for that kind of partying, saw things I probably shouldn’t have at that age. 😳 It was at the height of their popularity and they were at their best. Awesome concert 🤘🏽
Absolute true story: Didn’t know him at the time (he was the bf of gf of my then gf), but I drove Axel to the band’s first gig at the legendary Troubadour in West Hollywood back in June 1985. Imagine my surprise when they opened with this banger! That opening riff, the full power of GNR!! What a show!!🔥🤣
Cool story 😎
You lucky SOB!!!!
The way Axl moves on stage is almost like a cat chasing a laser dot he's just everywhere and he does it all while singing without messing up
Was thinking more like a snake. He even mentions " my serpentine" as in snake like.
Stole Davey Jones from the Monkees dance moves. Lol
@@Ranadkins Definitely! But Axl does it better than Davey Jones ever did.
@@MsCatstaff I’ll just have to respectfully disagree. 👍
@@Ranadkins Actually, I think Axl stole those moves from 'Diamond' David Lee Roth, who stole them from Jim 'Dandy' Mangrum, who very well may have stolen them from Davy. But Axl sure ain't the original.
I'm a 90s baby so I definitely wasn't alive for them but I remember finding out about GnR on one of those behind the music/I love the 80s things on VH1 (#millenniallife) and I was obsessed. I've read all of the members books and I am obsessed with them. They're gritty, grimy, and were the last of their kind of rockstars for sure. Talk about a culture shift.
What a great song! So full of attitude and great musical variation. A perfect song.
One of those debut albums everyone has because this band and every track on it were gold. Rarely does an artist or band strike it so big out of the gate. This is still their best selling recording.
It’s Saturday night and we have clips from Guns N’ Roses and Motley Crue. Headbangers Ball rises again!!
This song was an important turning point for music in the late 80’s. Hair metal ruled at the time- Motley Crue, Poison, etc. Then GnR came along with a much harder sound, much more guitar-driven, that really put a bite into music that hair metal lacked. No one’s ever gonna put Mick Mars and….whoever….from Poison in the same league as slash. Appetite for Destruction lit a fire under the music scene back then.
I miss Headbangers Ball.
Headbangers Ball Saturdays would be a great feature for this channel
Wow. I haven’t thought about Headbangers Ball in so long. Watched it religiously.
HEADBANGERS BALL REACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!
Wait, are we all showing our age here?
@@Watching4Fun_ Haha! So true. I love music as much as I did 40 years ago.
This was their first hit & none of us had heard anything like it. They ruled from this hit until they broke up. So many legendary hits, mind blowing to see live (actually sound better than the recordings, the power in Axle’s voice live is hypnotic). Paradise City is another mind blower, especially knowing that he gets through it live without a break for oxygen.
Back in my early days of high school, me and my friends were into this new band called, 'Guns N Roses'. We were completely stoked and loved this band. Then I remember not too long after that, even the jocks and preppies were loving them. Such a great hard rockin' band. I'm glad I was there during that early era.
This song was their first release. Its gritty nasty groovin’ rock n’ roll at its finest. I’m glad y’all dig this.
Probably just the most important band in 80s Hair Bands and just bands in general!
Their best album
I first introduced to this song from MTV back in the day! And I gotta tell ya 💔 this is a Headbanger classic of all time! 🖤🎶🎶🎶🎶🖤
I remember when ‘Appetite For Destruction’ came out and it changed everything. For some reason I always go back to ‘Rocket Queen’
Rocket Queen is the most interesting composition on the album imo
I think J reacted to “November Rain” on his own, but Amber, you need to hear it too! Full of emotion and just amazing vocals.
I'm going to be the biggest artist on earth by the end of the year 💧🌊🚀
@@SOUNDWAVE-xz5xy shut up
no you aren't
@@madelynwillet668 smd
Yes 🙃
I agree, Amber needs to be introduced to November Rain!
When this came out GnR became pretty much the biggest band in the planet. You could not escape it. Grandmas were singing welcome to the jungle.
Grandmas are still singing it. Lol
Best intro to a song EVER!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸
"Embrace Empathy" - I love that shirt!!
This song was how the world was largely introduced to GnR. This was the first music video I recall seeing of them on MTV back in the summer of 1987.
I was either 15 or 16 when this album dropped. My brother’s girlfriend and I wanted a summer job so we asked my dad if he could hire us for something. He hired the two of us to sit in the attic space of an Industrial building sorting kwik loks into sample bags to give to potential buyers. It was hot up there and after a day of boredom we grabbed a boom box. I told her I had just bought the Guns n Roses tape. We spent that summer memorizing every word in Appetite For Destruction. Every song on that album transports me back to those two teen girls in their cut off Levi’s, oversized t shirts and Keds 🤣 Yowzer!
The bit where Axl hits that note before the guitar solo is sublime
omg!! 1 of my all time fave albums!! i've loved this album since 1988!
The song was released in late 1987 and the Bengals started using it during their 1988 season--which ended with their second Super Bowl appearance.
I have such a vivid memory of hearing Appetite for Destruction for the first time at age 14 in my cousin’s bedroom. I fell in love with the genre.❤️ Now, at age 48, you’ll still find me rocking out to it in my car or while cleaning house.🤘🎸
Love Jay’s reaction! I am a huge fan! Love my rock!
We sang our hearts out to this driving to the jersey shore back when the album first came out. We wore that cassette out 😂 Love watching you guys!!
Congrats! The Bengals just won! Love this song. Keep doing what you do. You guys are great.
This was my very first concert back in 88 when they were opening for Aerosmith!! Talk about an amazing first concert to attend!! I was all smiles watching you guys tonight!! Great song choices all the way around!! Thank You for making my night!!
This was the first single off of their debut album Appetite For Destruction and they exploded in popularity from the very beginning. Every song on the album is a hit.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED You Jay and Amber's Reaction!!! It reminded Me of seeing and hearing it for the FIRST TIME in 1987 on Friday Night Videos!!! 😊
...Bob P, Mid Coast, Maine! 😊😊
So happy you loved this song. This was the very 1st song I ever heard from GNR and I remember I was watching the video on MUCH MUSIC in Canada 🇨🇦 and at that time it was a brand new video and no one new who they were yet. The single wasn't a hit and they released a 2nd single SWEET CHILD O MINE, which of course was a massive hit here. So of course they re-released WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE after and it obviously became a huge hit too. They never looked back after that. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
Love Guns n Roses, it's my childhood and growing up with an older brother. I was listening to Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, and NKOTB. This was strange to me back then but I liked it anyway. Now being an "adult", I get it. Lol. Freaking great rock n roll!
sounds like me. All of my school friends were listening to Gibson, NKOTB etc, I'd come home and listen to GNR and AC/DC with my older brother. We were both obsessed with Axl haha
You 2 rock. More GNR !
All the best !
The diversity of Axl’s singing is pretty crazy with 6 octaves. Most don’t realize how good Axl’s voice is, ow was. Very few have an octave range of six or higher. Incredible. This is based on studio recordings I believe. See article link below. Also how good their writing was, so much depth. I have a lot of respect for this group.
Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose has demonstrated the greatest vocal range in studio. Mariah Carey comes in second, followed by Prince, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Christina Aguilera and David Bowie.
Which singer has the greatest recorded vocal range of all time? | Newstalk
This whole album is one of those rare albums that is all fire, no filler. Start with Jungle, finish with Rocket Queen, repeat, lol! Saw them open for Motley Crue, watched Axl bust his ass, lol!
Bet that was a great show.
@@matthewdrake4385 oh it was, lol! That was the Girls Girls Girls tour, so Tommy had the revolving drum kit.
Saw that line up in Omaha first concert I was 15 and front row.
From a Great Cincinnatian who thinks you guys rock.......WHO DEY! The song is amazing and the team is amazing. Keep doing great reactions and come to town so we can Who Dey at the next game.
WHO DEY!
Love seeing you appreciate the music I've listened to all my life.
One of my top 50 albums ever is Appetite For Destruction. Every song is great! 🙏🏼🥰🩵
When this came out, my exSO was in the Army in Korea, and asked me to buy him the cassette, as he and his buddies had all heard this song but couldn't get the whole album for some reason. Brings back a lot of memories! Good musical times.
You CAN go wrong with Guns N Roses... it just takes a few more years.
Like all great bands, unless if they broke up in their primes.
The Energy of this Band was unmatched. GnR was Fire.
Axl has a near 8 octave vocal range!That's how he hits those crazy notes!
Appetite for Destruction broke the debut album sales that was previously held by Boston. Similarly, both featured every song a hit.
Los guns son verdaderos clásicos del rock.... saludos desde Sudamérica-chile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were the dirty ensing of the 80s. Took us fast into the 90s with mega hits. Love the amazing band!
This song is just all you need to know about hard rock. Vocals, guitar, sound. Honestly what an iconic song.
Went to their concert in Detroit a few years ago on the reunion tour. Over 3 hours of Guns and Roses and there were still songs I wished they would have played. GOAT
They've done great music! My mom would call him "Mr Swivel hips" after seeing videos of him. She tolerated some of the music I listened to. Now every time I hear them, I laugh and think of her calling him that since her passing in June 2017. They were banned from St Louis after causing a riot back in 1991. I wasn't living in the area then, but they did come back in 2017.
Mars and Venus right here. Amber is going orgasmic watching Axel's moves and Jay is like "Man I wish I was at the game!" 🤣🤣
One of the best rock songs ever! Life is indeed a jungle. Feel like playing this for some graduates.
Perfect reaction to a banging classic! Check out Guns N' Roses "You Could Be Mine" from the Terminator 2: Judgement Day film soundtrack. (And love your t-shirt Amber!) Rock on guys!🎶😎
I always admired how the band uniquely - yet cohesively - connected upbeat music with depressing lyrics. I think this is one of their less optimistic songs. Even some of their sadder ones are more hopeful in their message. Is there a single GnR song though that does have a happy text? Oh yeah! Sweet Child of Mine is the only serene lyrics, also a must for a playlist.
This one is about when he took the bus to LA for the first time. Some guy said that to him. Welcome to the jungle, you're gonna die. Something like That
As told by Steve Adler, the band got off the bus in LA and a homeless guy on drugs looked at them and said “Do you know where you are? You’re in the jungle baby! You’re gonna die!” And Axl being the genius he is, turned that one moment into a whole song.
Close. It was actually in New York, not LA
@@simrey8570 i mean what's the difference 😂
I’m not a huge GnR fan but this song is an absolute Rock CLASSIC.
It’s great watching you two having so much fun!
This was GNR’s initial early stuff before their attempts to match Motley Crue’s hedonistic lifestyle burned out so much of their brain cells that they couldn’t write new material and had to resort to covers mainly. 😂
It’s a banger of a song, no doubt.
You two are priceless! Loved your reaction to all 3 of todays vids. So happy to see Amber be open to listening to rock and liking it. Jay, what can i say? Your face exudes "happy " when you react to these songs. Now i have the biggest smile on my face 😁 Fun fact : GNR wrote this song togeather in a little over 2 hours.
the WHOLE album rocks!!
That's the LOUDEST SONG I've heard you react to yet! 🤣
Jay got REALLY pumped up... & the game?
Intense song, great reactions! 🎤🎧
GnR was such a great band and had such a good sound. I also liked the "Lies" album but dang it, some of those lyrics were "problematic" even back then. They were going for shock value and they got it.
This is the first song (and single) from their debut album “Appetite for Destruction”, one of the strongest debut albums by any rock band, ever. Seriously every trac is a banger. The Bengals adopted this song as their home field “theme music” back in 1988 about a year after the song was released, and have used it ever since, primarily just before kickoff.
That was their Debut out-of-the box HIT!
I love your reactions to this song!!!! Amber, you are spot ON about both Axl and the Slash silhouette. This album does not have a bad song. It's a masterpiece. GNR was so groundbreaking at the time. We were in AWE.
This whole album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! I had just graduated high school when it dropped. Game changer!!!
This is the first song that kicked it all off for Gun's N' Roses. Once it was released, it took everyone by storm! There was no looking back. What a great time that was
This is one of my favorites
This whole album is fantastic from start to finish, but I must say, it's not for the kids. I saw them live at RFK Stadium with Metallica back in..... 1992, I think it was. Still have my ticket stub from that. Amazing show!
I saw that same tour in Denver, except Axl only played half a song and got booed off stage. 😜
I saw that tour in San Francisco. It was the first show James played guitar after the pyro accident in Canada. GnR took nearly 2 hours to come out after Metallica. People started getting mad and tore up the infield. I saw chunks of grass flying everywhere.
Oh snap! I was at that RFK stadium and I was show too!!! I was on the field and I vividly remember the fights between the two different Metallica and Guns N' Rose's fan bases bc fun fact, Axl Rose was a still in NYC when Metallica ended their set. Do you remember what ended the fighting??? GREAT show though!!!
Good call about it not being for kids (even though many of us were kids when GnR came out). In particular "Rocket Queen" is definitely not for kids.
That was the Use Your Illusions Tour. Saw the first two dates at Madison Square Garden, and then maybe 9 months later when the came back to the area, caught the show again. The first show, when Slash gets up on top of the Marshall Stack & starts his solo,
my buddy keeps going ‘you recognize that lick’, I’m like ‘ yeah, but I can’t place it’ then it kicks in & hits me at the same time THE GODFATHER! I was blown away, this dude is playing the Theme from the movie The Godfather on the guitar , and KILLING IT!!!
Phenomenal guitarist. His hands look like they’re as big as snow shovels! He can cover about 8 frets with one hand. Oh, and earlier someone in the comments mentions Duff McKagen being the key to the band… if you can ever get to listen to anything he plays on really good headphones, or maybe even an iso of his bass lines, they’re just as insane as any Slash solo. Duff is THAT GOOD!
Jay,for the rest of your life everytime you hear these opening riffs you will immediately transport back to that game. It's called " Relational Memory",it starts in the hippocampus in your brain. It's been said it also stores memories of smells & tastes.
HOW TO SUMMON AN ENTIRE GENERATION IS RIGHT HERE
What an awesome reaction. I did love it. GnR IS MY FAVORITE BAND SINCE i WAS i KID.
Not my favorite band but love the song. Great licks and great tone.
