I love their song "Patience". It's rather like an "unplugged" song of theirs.

The vocals are all Axl - he has quite a range.

Originally written by Bob Dylan, this song has been covered by numerous artists including Eric Clapton and Babyface.

You all definitely need to check out "Civil War", "Coma", "Don't Cry", "November Rain", and "You Could Be Mine".

A true testament to Bob Dylan’s extraordinary talent for song writing, his words resonate with every generation that followed. When interpreted by the biggest bands and artists they always sound relevant and timeless. I love Dylan’s voice and his brilliant phrasing and cadence, so almost always prefer his versions. Yet I could listen to covers of Dylan very happily as well. The GnR version was from my high school years so it conjures up great memories. My three favourite Dylan covers are All Along The Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix, My Back Pages by The Byrds and Blowing In The Wind by Peter Paul and Mary. And had to come back to add To Make You Feel My Love by Adele for something more current.

"Welcome to the Jungle" is the next Guns n Roses song you'll want to react to..It rocks!

Duff never gets enough credit. I think his bass sound and style are what give GnR their sound. Without Duff there's no GnR! Listen to most of their songs especially their hits, Duffs bass is front and center every time!

Axl Rose is a classically trained musician and it shows in everything he does. Slash is one of the best rock guitarists ever, certainly top 3 from the 80s

Guns N' Roses' catalog of covers is deep. Since the earliest days, they've honored their rock 'n' roll heroes like Rolling Stones, Queen, Aerosmith, Paul McCartney`s Wings, both on record and in concert, and yes this song by Bob Dylan.

"I want to know more about the band. I want to know about them, I want to know where they're from....because they're awesome" That's exactly what we said as teenagers when their album "Appetite For Destruction" came out in Summer '87. Love it. \m/

Axl Rose has a very wide vocal range of six octaves, from F1 while he was singing the song “in There Was a Time“, in the 2nd-lowest octave in pitch notation, to B flat 6 while singing the song “Ain't it Fun“, five octaves above it.

You need to listen to their entire debut album "Appetite for Destruction". There isn't a bad song on that album.

You should listen to Dylan's version next just to see the contrast between the two. They're both great just interpret differently. Dylan's is soulful and G&R's is more gritty

Anything by Guns N Roses is worth listening to, but you need to do ‘Patience’ and ‘November Rain’ next. ‘Yesterdays’, ‘You Could Be Mine’, ‘The Garden’ & ‘Civil War’ are other good ones to try.

"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a song by Bob Dylan, written for the soundtrack of the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Released as a single two months after the film's premiere, it became a worldwide hit. The song became one of Dylan's most popular and most covered post-1960s compositions. Try "Patience", "Welcome To The Jungle" and "Mr. Brownstone" by GNR. Also, how about some Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford's duet "Close My Eyes Forever".

There is a reason why they were the biggest band in the world at one time. It was from songs like this and Axl voice it all tied in together and just had the right sound they could go soft or hard at a flick of switch. I still love G&R to this day.

It’s all Axl Rose singing…. His voice fluctuates up and down so easily………I Love listening to them play..

For Female Friday: Ronnie Spector - ‘Be My Baby’ Bette Midler - ‘From a Distance’ Toni Braxton - ‘Un-Break My Heart’ Whitney Houston - I Have Nothing’ Roberta Flack - ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ Other notables: Christopher Cross - ‘Sailing,’ Kayne Brown - ‘Worship You,’ Kool and The Gang - ‘Celebration,’ Dan Fogelberg - ‘Same Old Lang Syne’ Luther Vandross - ‘Dance With My Father’

It was due to Guns n Roses that I started to listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers, they always quoted Southern Rock as a major influence. Another vote for Patience as the next of their songs you should check out.

I just heard Chris Cornell sing Billie Jean. He is so raw and this goes through your soul and down to your toes. Amber you are going to FLIP!

Love GnR. You also need to listen to Patience. So good. It's an acoustical version with Axl and Slash. Axl wistles part of the tune and hits some crazy notes too. Also good from GnR are Don't Cry and Night Train

It’s not that you’re overlooking them, there are just so many great bands and artists to be introduced to. Guns N Roses is one of those greats for sure and I’m so happy you got back to them. This song is one that you will never forget; you’ll feel it the same way every time you hear it.

A few other great Guns N' Roses songs that I think you'll both like: - DON'T CRY: Similar vibe to "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" and with a big, epic video and, of course, a big, epic Slash solo. - WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE: A straight rocker that was the first song most of us heard from Gun N' Roses back in the day. This was their breakthrough song. - YOU COULD BE MINE: Straight-up banger. Period. If this song doesn't get you hype and end up on your workout playlist, you don't have a heartbeat. - CIVIL WAR: A great Gn'R song that is sadly even more relevant today than when they wrote it. Axl spitting straight facts. - LIVE AND LET DIE: Another cover song, this is Gn'R doing a Paul McCartney song (from his band after the Beatles (Wings)). BTW, the Rolling Stones were a big influence on Guns 'N' Roses, so that southern rock/blues rock element you're picking up on in G'n'R is definitely there. There are also elements of AC/DC, Aerosmith, the Faces (Rod Stewart's old band), punk bands like The Damned, etc. It creates a a really cool mix that results in that G'N'R sound. As for the members of the band (since you asked), there have been A LOT of them over the years but the classic line-up from their first, breakthrough album (Appetite For Destruction) is: - W. AXL ROSE: Lead and backing vocals, piano. He had a rough childhood, grew up singing in church, and lists Queen as his favorite band and Freddie Mercury as his favorite singer though he was also influenced by Elton John, Paul McCartney, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and Michael Monroe of the band Hanoi Rocks. - SLASH: Lead guitarist. Slash is half black, half British and his mother was a fashion designer who worked with David Bowie and Janis Joplin. He says his biggest influence was Jeff Beck but he was also influenced a lot by the Rolling Stones, Cream, and Led Zeppelin. - DUFF MCKAGAN: Bassist, backing vocals, and occasional lead vocals. He learned to play bass by playing along with Prince's 1999 album and the Damaged album from hardcore punk band Black Flag. Duff says he fashioned himself after the bassist from The Clash and the bassist from post-punk band Magazine. In his fashion sense, I also see some influence from Sid Vicious (infamous bassist from the Sex Pistols). - IZZY STRADLIN: Rhythm guitarist and writer or co-writer of most of Gn'R's songs. Izzy was one of Axl's childhood friends. His early influences were Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, and Led Zeppelin though he says his biggest influence was his grandmother who played drums in a swing jazz band. You can definitely detect some Rolling Stones and The Faces (Rod Stewart's old band) influence in his style as well. Fun/Sad Fact: Izzy Stradlin is the only member of Guns N' Roses with a high school diploma. He graduated with a D average. - STEVEN ADLER: Drums. Steven Adler was a childhood friend of Slash. They met when Adler had a skateboard accident and Slash stopped to help him. Adler lists his biggest influences as the Sex Pistols, Kiss, and Roger Taylor from Queen. He was fired from Gn'R multiple times over his drug addiction and resulting flakiness and was eventually replaced by Matt Sorum (from a band called The Cult) for Gn'R's Use Your Illusion albums. Adler ended up on VH1's Celebrity Rehab, Sober House, and, last I heard, has quit music after his concerts with his band Adler were poorly attended. Other members have come and gone, like Dizzy Reed (keyboards), Gilby Clarke (who I think replaced Izzy on rhythm guitars when Izzy left in 1991), and Matt Sorum (who replaced Steven Adler on drums around the time of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"). By the time you get to the Chinese Democracy album, the lineup changes are crazy and all over the place. It's a mess.

GnR’s first album blew up out of the gate and they went from opening act to headliner almost instantly. Bass=Duff McKagan, who is the man keeping that rhythm in the pocket. The “dun nunt” pausing “dun nunt “ you liked so much was the bassist followed by a run of bass notes. Relisten for the bass and Duff will blow your mind. After the 80s of being ripped off of his royalties by the record companies, Duff went back to school and took finance courses so he wouldn’t be taken advantage of again when he helped form Velvet Revolver. Steven Adler is the drummer and the one Sabastian Bach wrote and sang about in the Skid Row song Wasted Time because Steven was so hooked on heroin. Izzy Stradlin is the rhythm guitarist and the first to leave the band on his own after Steven was fired and replaced by Matt Sorum, formerly of The Cult. You know Slash and Axel. Axel has one of the broadest ranges in his voice in all of rock. It’s why they tune their instruments down a 1/2 step to flats (Eb-Ab-Db-Gb). Songs to react to are anything from Appetite for Destruction. Others are Civil War, You Could Be Mine, Locomotive, November Rain, Don’t Cry, Pretty Tied Up, Reckless Life, Nice Boys, Mama Kin, etc…

November Rain is another great song by these guys if you haven’t already done it. Axl Rose is doing the vocals, even those low twisted ones, and Slash is on guitar. So good.

This song was originally written for the movie "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid". In addition to GNR, Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, and Jerry Garcia, among others, have covered this song.

Axel Rose has some of the most amazing vocals & when combined with Slash on the guitar, the result is pure rock magic. In addition to the excellent suggestions made by the others commenting here, I'd also like to suggest you listen to GNR's songs "Estranged", "Don't Cry", "Mr. Brownstone", "Paradise City" & "Rocket Queen".

Axl Rose singing thru the entire song he has a wide range with his vocals.

“Mama, take this badge from me, I can’t use it anymore”. One of the most powerful & recognizable opening lyrics ever. Especially if you’ve ever worn a badge & a gun.

"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" was written by Bob Dylan--this is a cover (one among many). Dylan wrote and performed it as part of the sound track for the movie "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid".

A famous voice coach who worked with all the big name stars has said that out of all of them, Axl's voice was the most impressive, he could do so much with it. That's saying a lot from someone who worked with the best

Axl has been called one of the greatest singers of all time because of his incredible range. Here’s something I bet you don’t already know- after Brian Johnson had to leave due to hearing loss a few years ago, Axl took his place as lead singer for AC/DC!

This rocks, but Bob Dylan's original is more haunting. The best cover of a Dylan song is Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower". Do that!

Song: Estranged, This song features some of the best guitar rifts Slash created while with the band.

Dylan's original 2m23s recording is a soulful ballad .... a much more enjoyable listen, IMO.

GNR is one of the best bands ever. They have so many great songs. Civil War and You Could Be Mine are 2 great ones.

There have been a lot of great covers of this Bob Dylan classic song. I've always loved Eric Clapton's version of this song with a reggae beat.

There aren't many Dylan covers I like, but this is one of them (Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower's another)

Great cover of a Bob Dylan classic1973.This song has been covered many times!! thank you

"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is by Bob Dylan, written for the 1973 film "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid". In 1975 Eric Clapton played on Arthur Louis's recording of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" which was in a cross-over reggae style. Later Eric Clapton made his version still with a reggae cross-over style.

I know this is a cover but nobody can rock this like GNR.

Played this at my sister’s funeral

The live version of this they did for the Freddie Mercury Tribue concert is a must see

Bob Dylan wrote this, listen to him sing it. Classic!!

I cracked up when you said this was the song that makes you want to know more about GnR, and this is a cover. Lol There are so many great songs by them, you can’t go wrong!

Axl Rose, is one of the greatest singers of all time. His range is crazy!

Another Bob Dylan cover. Second best Bob cover after All Along the Watchtower.

When GnR were on top they were HUGE, pretty much dwarfed those other bands you listed except for Led Zeppelin. Im pretty sure they still have the highest selling debut album in the US with Appetite for Destruction.

Guns and Roses later teamed up with Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots to form Velvet Revolver. Slither and Fall to pieces are worth a watch.

I really enjoy this version. Axel’s voice is amazing. My favorite version is by Warren Zevon on his final album soon before he passed. It makes me cry every time I hear it since he was “Knockin' on Heaven's Door”. Bob Dylan’s original version is truly fantastic, too.

Welcome to the Jungle, Don’t Cry, November Rain, Civil War, You Could be Mine, Paradise City, all great ones. Also Live and Let Die, a cover of Paul McCartney and the Wings song used for the James Bond movie back in the 70s!!

Another good GnR song to check out is "Civil War" it was off of one of their Use Your Illuson albums (they realsed 2 seperate albums at the same time and simply titled them Use Your Illusion 1 & 2) I was partial to "Mr. Brownstone" off of their first album, and "Patience" was a good, predominantly acoustic song off of their GnR Lies Lies Lies album

Several years ago I was driving through Arizona, listening to a local rock station morning show. It was one of those crazy morning zoo comedy shows, and they had slash on to interview. They thought it would be really funny to have slash play knocking on heavens door with a guy that plays the accordion, problem was there was nothing funny about it because it sounded amazing.

The deep voice is still Axel Rose. There are parts of the song where the vocals are double and triple tracked to layer his voice on top of itself several times in different notes to create a chordal harmony, or line.

Can't believe you haven't done Welcome to the Jungle yet. It is by far Guns n Roses most well known song.

Cival War. Estranged. Rocket Queen. You Could be Mine. Coma. Mr. Brownstone. Nightrain. Oh; don't forget the 'guest appearances' from Axl Rose.. Free Falling ft Tom Petty We Will Rock You/Bohemian Rhapsody ft Queen Salt of the Earth ft Rolling Stones Come Togerther ft Bruce Springsteen That guy was an absolute monster late80's, early90's

Hi new subscriber from the UK, another great reaction to GNR by you both , I would recommend all the songs from the "Appetite for Destruction" album, not a bad song on that album!

This song was sung by Bob Dylan in the movie "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid". I think Dylan wrote it. Look for his version. You will like it. Nowhere near as heavy of course. That's Axl, I think....

This is a Bob Dylan song, I wish you had heard the original first. Check out the song You Could Be Mine, it is one of their most aggressive songs and reminds me of Motley Crue's Kickstart My Heart.

Voted by a Rolling Stone magazine poll as one of the best covers of all time. Also featured in the movie Days of Thunder.

GnR has such an amazing sound. "Patience" and "Welcome to the Jungle" are two that you will definitely love, and are on opposite ends of the spectrum of what GnR does. Also, would recommend that Jay introduce Amber to "November Rain" since she wasn't on the channel yet when you reacted to that song. For some other fantastic 80s hits from some other genres, check out George Clinton's "Atomic Dog", Nena's "99 Luftballoons", Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer" and Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby".

They are such a good band. Glad you both enjoyed it! Request: Guns' N Roses--Patience. Also, check out L.A. Guns--Ballad Of Jayne.

Listen to this i love by guns n roses...best song ever

I really love this song 💖 It just makes me remember my husband's sudden death 28 years ago Feb 15 and our children putting homemade cards teddy bears etc in his casket. We loved guns and roses 🌹🌹🌹 Thank you for playing this, Happy New Year 🥳

"Patience" is one of their best tracks you should check out. "Welcome To The Jungle", "You Could Be Mine", "November Rain", "Civil War". "You Could Be Mine" is from the Terminator 2: Judgement Day film soundtrack.

When I first heard this cover song I told my roomies in the army that this is a Bob Dylan tune. They all said, “no way”! This was long before the internet. They had my respect after that.

I fell in love with G n R after hearing “You Could Be Mine”. Gotta listen to it.

Axl Rose's voice and moves and always recognizable. Slash is one of my favorite guitarists because his playing and solos are always so melodic with a fabulous tone.

I prefer the original by Bob Dylan ...... not as flashy but more atmospheric

Just watched Brad and Lex react to this as well😄 Anyway..I would strongly recommend Coma from Guns N Rose's. This would be wholesome 🤘👍

Saul Hudson (born 23 July 1965), better known as Slash, is a British-American musician, songwriter, and record producer. He is best known as the lead guitarist of the American hard rock band Guns N' Roses, with whom he achieved worldwide success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Slash has received critical acclaim and is considered one of the greatest guitarists in history. In 1993, Slash formed the side project Slash's Snakepit and in 1996 he left Guns N' Roses and co-founded the supergroup Velvet Revolver, which re-established him as a mainstream performer in the mid to late 2000s. Slash has released four solo albums: Slash (2010), featuring an array of guest musicians, Apocalyptic Love (2012), World on Fire (2014) and Living the Dream (2018) recorded with his band, Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. He returned to Guns N' Roses in 2016. Time magazine named him runner-up on their list of "The 10 Best Electric Guitar Players" in 2009, while Rolling Stone placed him at number 65 on their list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" in 2011. Guitar World ranked his guitar solo in "November Rain" number 6 on their list of "The 100 Greatest Guitar Solos" in 2008, and Total Guitar placed his riff in "Sweet Child o' Mine" at number 1 on their list of "The 100 Greatest Riffs" in 2004. In 2010, Gibson Guitar Corporation ranked Slash as number 34 on their "Top 50 Guitarists of All Time", while their readers landed him number 9 on Gibson's "Top 25 Guitarists of All Time". In 2012, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Guns N' Roses' classic lineup.

Guns n' roses is one of my favorite bands for sure!! Glad you guys are starting to check out more of them! Some of my faves are Rocket Queen, Mr. Brownstone, Out Ta Get Me, Black Leather, My Michelle, Night Train, Estranged, Coma, You Could Be Mine, Anything Goes, Get In The Ring, The Garden, Bad Obsession, Double Talkin' Jive, Dust N' Bones and many many more lol way too many to keep on naming!! Lol you guys will have to really go down the Guns N' Roses rabbit hole!! It's way worth it trust me lol

Guys , You Muste REACT TO *Guns N' Roses - Rocket Queen ( Live in Tokyo 92 )* 👋👏😱👍

You definitely need to check out Civil War next. I love everything about this song. From the vocal range of Axl, to the piano playing, the Slash solos and last but not least the incredible lyrics

I did a bit of research on this song...it was originally sung by Bob Dylan and it was in a 1970's movie called Pat Garrett and Billy the kid....so in my opinion, the song is about the gunfight between Pat Garrett and Billy the kid in the old west

THAT SONG ROCKED ! There was so much fill instrumentality and lyrically and with the choir included it was full throttle . It felt like a Grand Finale when watch fireworks,just crazy ! it was mastered beautifully !

Is no one gonna tell them that the song significantly got cut short at the end? Whoever made that video failed miserably.

"Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a song by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, written for the soundtrack of the 1973 film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Released as a single two months after the film's premiere, it became a worldwide hit, reaching the Top 10 in several countries. The song became one of Dylan's most popular and most covered post-1960s compositions, spawning covers from Guns N' Roses, Eric Clapton, Randy Crawford and more. Described by Dylan biographer Clinton Heylin as "an exercise in splendid simplicity", the song features two short verses, the lyrics of which comment directly on the scene in the film for which it was written: the death of a frontier lawman (Slim Pickens) who refers to his wife (Katy Jurado) as "Mama".

Original Band Members: Axl Rose- lead vocals Slash- lead guitarist Duff McKagen (blond hair) Bass Guitar, songwriter, singer Izzy Stradlin- (dark hair) Rhythm Guitarist songwriter Steven Adler- Drummer and co-songwriter Matt Sorum- Drummer ( after band fired Steven Adler)

So this is Axel singing in both his low register and his high register. Shows his great range.

With Guns N’ Roses you cannot go wrong!

I like the GNR version fine, but as a song, I prefer Dylan's original, it's more emotional. Of course it fit the scene in the movie it was written for...

it was also a main song sung by Bob Dylan in the movie 'Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid' in which Bob actually had a small role. very tragic moment in the film.

ARTIST Jimmie Rogers SONG : Kisses Sweeter Then Wine SONG : HONEYCOMB 1957

Izzy Stradin is the voice you hear. He plays Rhythm guitar and doesn't get enough credit. Overshadowed by Axl and Slash. If you're gonna be overshadowed, I guess that's a pretty good tandem to be overshadowed by, but he is very talented. Guns and Roses was the last great Rock Band in my opinion. There has been good ones since then but they belong with the greats.

With guns and Roses you’re pretty much always hearing Axel singing. He has infinite voices. Axel and Slash were the best singer/guitarist combo IMO.

Aw based on the thumbnail, I thought it was going to be the live version from the Ritz show in 88, and I got excited haha. I agree with some others that you should do Patience. It's still probably my favorite song of theirs.

First time I heard Guns'N Roses was Welcom to The Jungle. I was blown away. I had to hear more.

Bob Dylan originally did this, but personally I much prefer this one!! Axl has an incredible voice range that isn't often talked about. That's probably what you heard when asking about the voice you didn't recognize

They do a good live version of this and go off into a reggae break after the second solo. Axl Rose is a great front man, up there in the top few. Not as good as Freddie though.

"Since I don't have you" is a whole different vibe from them ❤

One of my favorites from Guns and Roses 👍

Originally a Bob Dylan song. This is one where I prefer the cover to the original

got to be honest this was ok but the original by Bob Dylan was simply greatness!

Guns N' Roses covered this on their 1991 album, Use Your Illusion II. They played it in 1992 at a tribute concert for Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, who had died of AIDS. 72,000 people attended the concert, which was held in London's Wembley Stadium. In case you're wondering, towards the end of the end of this version, the man on the telephone says, "You just better start sniffin your own rank subjugation Jack, 'cause it's just you and your tattered libido, the bank and the mortician, forever man and it wouldn't be luck if you could get out of life alive."

Guns N Roses are their own genre. There was nothing like them before and nothing since. Def some imitators out there but nothing compares. And that's why they still have the BEST SELLING DEBUT ALBUM from a band ever!!! Appetite for Destruction debuted selling 18 million copies, 7 hit singles, 3 #1 singles, 147 weeks on the Billboard top 200 charts, 4 consecutive weeks at #1, 30 million sold around the world. I don't think it'll ever be beat as a debut album from a band.

Guns N Roses is one of the best bands of the late 80s & 90s. I just can't get enough of them, even though they only put out 6 Studio albums & 1 live album they have 23 music videos (you need to try these songs) It's so easy - mr. Brownstone - Welcome to the Jungle - Sweet Child of Mine - Paradise City - patience - my Michelle - you're crazy - Mama kin (a Aerosmith cover) - used to love her - you could be mine (from the Terminator 2 soundtrack) - don't cry - Live and Let Die (a cover of Paul McCartney & Wings song, Paul wrote the song for the theme to the James Bond film Live and Let Die in the 70s) - November Rain - yesterdays - Civil War - Ain't It Fun - estranged - Symphony for the devil (a Rolling Stones cover) - the garden (with Alice Cooper singing a little on this song) - The Garden of Eden - Since I Don't Have You (a cover of the Skyliners song from 1958) & get in the ring. These are just some of my favourite songs of the group, not all of these songs have official videos.

Still love Dylan's version more--sounds more soulful with his singular voice.

GnR were the biggest band in the world in their day. Glad you recognize them now.

This song, "Don't Cry", and "Paradise City" are my favorites of their songs.
