There’s something oddly satisfying about watching people react to the same music that still 30 years later gives you the same exact reaction as hers!

1:07 Welcome to the jungle 8:41 It's so Easy 14:32 Nightrain 22:23 out ta get me 29:00 Mr.Brownstone 34:32 Paradise City.

Iconic, this album was a game changer. Mainstream rock music was a stale joke at the time. These guys kicked everyone right in the ass.

GNR's debut blew every other rock band out of the water. They were instantly the best rock band on the planet. Axl and Slash are just two massive talents and the other guys weren't chopped liver.

This album hit me at age 10 and I was never the same. I was completely transformed.

That madman siren howl at the beginning of Welcome To The Jungle was Axl's introduction to the world. Pretty cool way to say hi.

"Slash" yet another Great British export in music! 🇬🇧

Guns and Roses was the real deal…I saw them play the Whiskey before the were signed…Raw, crazy, great energy…

I was 15 when this came out the whole album rocked. Growing up in the 80s was the best the music was awesome.

Duff McKagan's bass in Paradise City is perfection IMO. The whole album was groundbreaking and absolutely compelling. I saw them in concert a couple months ago in Wellington, New Zealand, and it was fucking amazing. Slash is a guitar god.

This album absolutely took over the world when it came out. Biggest selling debut album of all time. You can see why - not a bad track on it. 10/10

I was 14 years old when this came out. In the years before, I had bought the cassettes to my favorite generic hair metal bands of that time: Bon Jovi, Poison, Cinderella, you get the idea. When I bought this cassette and put it on, I was embarrassed for myself and my previous collection of mediocre 80's rock. This changed everything for me, and Appetite For Destruction will always have a special place in my heart.

I bought this album when it first came out (on Cassette!!!). I still listen to it today, pure perfection.

This album came out about 1 month after I graduated high school. We saw Welcome to the Jungle on MTV for a bit before the album came out and then one day at work a guy put the cassette in the group boombox and we listened to it front to back, and I knew it was special from that day. I bought the CD very soon after that. Slash is the lead guitarist who wears an iconic leather top hat, but Izzy Stradlin played rhythm guitar and according to people who knew the band as they were coming up, Izzy was mostly responsible for their overall sound.

The best song is the very last song on the album. "Rocket Queen". They go OFF THE RAILS!

haha That stankface during "Welcome to the Jungle" is so fun to watch. I can't remember the last time I saw someone hear that song for the first time, it's played so often at sports arenas here in the US. Izzy Stradlin, the rhythm guitarist, is really underrated. So much of their sound comes from the way he compliments Slash.

Appetite for Destruction is a pure masterpiece since the start to the end......the talent of them awesome....his voice, guitars, drumm, bass....so perfect, really amazing musicians!!!! I ' m never tired to listen this iconic, legendary album!!!! I suggest you their live at the Ritz 88 .....you can see what phenomenal band they was in their live performances.....

It's such a amazing album. There will never be another Axl Rose.

I was 9 when this album released. It first time I saw a band blow up. You could not escape them. They were on the radio and MTV constantly and GNR t-shirts were everywhere.

This is the only album you need in your life!!!!

Everyone was beginning to feel that rock was a dead art form, then this album came out, and everyone was singing welcome to the jungle and I mean everyone it didn’t matter what shade of human being you were. Everyone was digging it.

This album at the time was next level, cutting edge. I was fortunate enough to experience this live first tour ! It was electrifying!

Definitely Axl singing all the way, and Slash the guitarist is iconic. Izzy their rhythm guitarist should get a lot of credit as well. These are some of the best orchestrated rock songs from a chemistry/rhythm standpoint I’ve heard. Duff pulls it all together on Bass. Incredible talent for one band. This first part is the hard rock portion of “Guns” and second half will be softer with the “Roses” side. The albums were actually not A And B side. They were G and R

To this very day, it's the best album ever made

Back in the days when a cassette with all excellent songs was absolute gold. Not having to skip songs was a luxury rarely found. Thanks for another fantastic reaction.

I was on a business trip in the US and had arranged a weekend R&R break at a friend's place (also a client so expense deductible - get it whilst you can!) in Florida. A Saturday morning and, as with most Americans that I knew the TV was on, some background music channel playing, when "Welcome to the Jungle" came on. I've got to admit that I just stopped dead, can't remember what I was doing, and turned the volume up, way up. I got a chill down my spine (I still do) for the first time since I heard Led Zeppelin for the first time in 1969. A killer album, I bought a tape casette on the way to my next stop in California and had to carry the thing around till I got home two weeks later. I played it non stop in my car every time I went out (the album had just been released in the UK by then), to the joy of my 7 year old nephew - who asked if he could borrow it. That was the last time I ever saw it - never trust 7 year olds who exhibit an ability to manipulate their mid 30's uncles! I vaguely recollect him doing something similar with a display of American currency, aided and abetted by my ex wife (late 20s wife in cahoots with ger then 9 year old nephew) - "Go on, you've always got a load of Dollar notes and coins, he'll give them back" . . . he didn't, probably went the same way as the casette tape! Enjoy GnR, they were a revolutionary band in their day.

No It Axl Rose Lead singing from The first to the last Song.That's Why a lot people think it's not the same person singing the same way as VERDY because of how much he can change his Singing style & Vocals. It's like how a chameleon can change colors.

Welcome to the magic that is Izzy Stradlin and Slash guitar playing.

This was the last band that impressed me. Slash was tearing it up.

Night train was a cheap high alcohol volume drink that they drank back in the early days

It's So Easy is Duff's baby. It's got that Punk feel of course. Duff is a Punk Rocker from Seattle. Duff's autobiography is excellent. It is Axl singing.

I saw 👀 them live in 1993. It was fantastic.😎

I love Ms. Verdy’s. stank face. You just can’t help it. Great music just moves you. That’s one reason I love this channel. Can’t wait for side two!

Good choice of album. I was in the audience when they filmed the video for “Paradise City” at Giants Stadium! I was 19. we didn’t know that they were filming for the video obviously. thought it was just for concert footage. great show. Aerosmith played also.

Mr. Brownstone is my favorite song on this album.

the song mr brownstone was kinda weird for me when i was young cause i didnt know mr brownstone was the drugs. i didnt understand the meaning. now i do appreciate the song alot.

Slash is a true guitar slinger and Mr. Brownstone is the banger track standout for me. Underrated track - this album was HUGE!

Izzy and Slash were the perfect complement to the guitars

"Honestly, who the hell is this guitar player?" You have the best reactions on KZfaq, Verdy.

Guns N' Roses was basically a supergroup made by the combination of members of 2 Los Angeles bands, L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose.

When I first listened to It's So Easy many years back, that was my initial reaction that there was someone else singing. Just goes to show how amazing and versatile of a singer Axl is.

Quick said Note Axl Rose the lead singer is in the Guinness book of World for holding the longest Note in a Song and it's the Ahhh!! one in the first Song Welcome To The Jungle.

"Welcome to the Jungle " was the first real rock song I heard. The year was 1989 and I only had a beat up walkman. Great times

Welcome to Generation X music! This is the music I’ve known and loved from my teenage years forward and I must admit it truly makes me smile seeing younger people appreciate it.

The lead guitarist is Slash. Real name Saul Hudson. He was born in Stoke England UK and moved to the USA when he was young. He could've been a pro BMX rider in the early '80's but chose the music instead

I've owned 3 copies of this album. I bought the 1st when it came out in 1987.

Apparently Night Train was the cheapest wine per booze on the strip at the time.

After mediocre sales for months, David Geffen contacted MTV. He pressured the network's execs to play the video for Welcome to the Jungle. Even though they initially aired it only once -- at 4:00am on a weekend -- it jump-started sales.

This album is amazing from start to finish. Axl is doing all the vocals he had 6 octave voice. He was a unique man.

I was in my first year of high school when this album released and it completely blew my mind. I stretched and wore the cassette tape out from the constant playing. A perfect album.

This is IN YOUR FACE debut album...it was also the soundtrack of the last movie of de saga Dirty Harry with Clint Eastwood (Harry Callahan) in 1988...In a interview Axl Rose said that Clint called them to congratulate them on the album. He told them it was a hell of a album and that he heard it on the plane. The guitarrist...well it's a legend Slash (Saul Hudson)...he is in the league of Angus Young, Jimmy Page, Joe Perry, etc etc...In this days it fits "better call Saul"...ja...greetings from Chile.

Some info on Guns N' Roses debut album 'Appetite for Destruction' (1987)... The band: W. Axl Rose (vocals), Slash (lead guitar), Izzy Stradlin (rhythm guitar/ backing vocals), Duff McKagan (bass/ backing vocals) and Steven Adler (drums). The album is one of the highest-selling rock records of all time - 18 million copies sold in the US, 30+ million worldwide. This was the only GNR album released w/ this line-up (along w/ the 1988 EP 'GNR Lies') ... Drummer Steve Adler was fired in 1990 and replaced by Matt Sorum... Dizzy Reed (keyboards/ piano) was added to the band by 1991. Guns N' Roses were formed around 1985 in Los Angeles... the line-up solidified in 1986, as they band played local clubs, but were a handful... volatile and dangerous, no record label wanted to sign them. They lived in drug dens and w/ strippers, had no jobs or income unless they played shows. Most of their songs were written in this time period. GNR were finally signed in 1986 to Geffen Records and producer Mike Clink was picked to record the album... The handful of songs chosen for the record was considered the best of what they had written. The remainder of songs would be recorded for the 1991 "Use your illusion" albums in 2 parts... The song 'Rocket queen' had drummer Steven Adler's girlfriend recorded having sex in the studio w/ Axl Rose... The "Mr. Brownstone" was about heroin addiction... Another controversy was when a painting of a robotic rape by Robert Williams was chosen for the album cover of 'Appetite for destruction'... (There is a larger robot attacking the rapist... in its defense) Geffen rejected the cover and opted to have the band logo w/ the members' heads as skulls instead... the original cover was released as a limited edition. The music industry hated the album and expectations were very low... the label Geffen were also worried that GNR would break up before they could promote the album. 'Appetite for destruction' was released in the fall of 1987 and the band went on tour opening for Motley Crue. The band filmed a music video for 'Welcome to the jungle'... and when MTV aired it in late '87, their switchboard was flooded w/ calls requesting the video. "Sweet Child O' Mine" was the next single in 1988 and it became a huge single (#1 in the US, #6 in the UK in 1989) ... GNR opened a massive tour for Aerosmith in 1988... The next single 'Paradise city' went to #5 in the US, #6 in the UK. In 1988, 'Appetite for destruction' reached #1 on the US charts and would go on to sell over 30 million copies worldwide, making Guns N' Roses the biggest rock band in the world by 1989. In 1988, Guns N' Roses recorded 4 songs acoustically for the EP 'GNR Lies' (which had 8 tracks) showing a different side of the band... The ballad 'Patience' became another huge hit.

"Whoever the guitarist is..." 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 ...only just one of the recent legends...

Saw these guys at the troubadour - and I thought they were going to lift the roof off the place. We walked out shell shocked.

Guitarist is "Slash".Check out his later projects.The guitaring is insane

The guitar player is Slash, not only he's an amazing guitar player, he also oozes charisma. If you watch a live performance from the late 80s or early 90s, you'll find it hard to take your eyes of him.

I first heard this when I was like 9 years old and instantly became a metalhead lol However it wasn't until years later (about 10) when I heard the album on a proper sound system I realised that Slash and Izzy were completely hard-panned to separate channels and my head exploded all over again :D

I gotta say, it's nice to see the appreciation for Slash's guitar work. He has always been one of the best. In a world filled with "pentatonic box" wankers, or soulless shredders, Slash always played the tastiest licks. Perfectly crafted licks everytime. I think you really might enjoy the album KISS Alive. The guitars are great, Ace is one of the best imo. Simple straight ahead rock, and being a live album, only their best songs.

that was fun listening to that with u its been a while one of the best hard rock albums of all time

Appetite is a great album. It's still the only album that I can listen all the way through without skipping songs.

I saw them May 1988 open for Maiden in Vancouver Canada. 6 weeks later they were #1. Absolutely a Mindboggling Concert that night so intense that at one point Bruce Dickinson came n stage and challenged Axl to a Fist fight! 3500 of us left that Concert asking out loud What The Fuk just happened? We all were there for Iron Maiden but all Left ChantingGuns and Roses!nGuns and Roses as we stumbled up the streets of Vancouver.

How cool are you !!!. You pick some of the best albums to react to !! GNR a exploded on the scene with this album back in the late 80s..

One of the few bands at this time keeping good rock alive.

Watching you go through this album is giving me so much joy. You clearly appreciate good rock, and you catch a lot of nuances. Great reaction!

Hey Verdy, not sure if you know, the song “Mr. Brownstone” is about heroin addiction. Doing great. keep it up!

Watching someone for the very first time reacting and enjoying my favorite album og All Time, it's so fascinating. In my opinion, opening with Welcome was the key, I had the same reaction that you had, and I know I was not the only one.

I remember when they released this album... I was in high school and it blew our socks off... This is a great album front to back!!! Great reaction Verdy, keep them coming!!!

I love this. This is EXACTLY how this music was meant to be digested!!!!🤘⭐

Ms. VERDY loved your detailed explanation and reaction to this iconic album. Thought you looked tired until the music started then you lit up including your smile. And yes your English was right for Appetite. However like everything you say in English with a slight French accent it sounds cool! Merci Beaucoup.

A milestone in rock history!

Axl, is singing the song It's so easy, he has great vocal range, so it sounds like a different singer.

It’s awesome to watch your review of my favorite album of all time. You took me way back to my high school days when I heard this album for the first time. The whole album was fire!!!

i listen "welcome to the jungle" for the first time at the age of 8 in a lasertag game....it was stunning. only one week earlier i had listen back in black and discover the ac/dc (in my house music was forbidden... lost of time, you have to work. stop)... mind blowing. i want to listen more and more, i want to start play electric guitar, i want to have a rock band, and starting to listend cassette and LP at the music shop and at house of my friend.... my life change and even now, 25years after this moment, i play guitar, i love gnr, hair metal, Sleaze metal, hard rock and so on. love this music and this feeling

Yes I have been waiting very patiently to see and hear Your reaction to my favorite Band Guns and Roses.Verdy hoping you enjoy them as much as I do. / A lot of Guns and Roses songs are from True events and other stuff that has happened to Them.

Great review of the greatest album of all time ❤

Nightrain is my favorite. Such a banger.

In my opinion the best debut album ever recorded!

This was the album that took the #1 selling debut album from Boston after 11 years... "Nightrain" and "Mr Brownstone" are the Sh!t...!!

Ha ! I wore out THREE cassette tapes of this when it came out…..Just a kick ass Rock album…..Banger after banger after banger !……You’re only on the 1st side !

The guitarist is The legend Slash. One of Top Guitarist in rock history 👌 u can hear slither for more his music and anastasia

Verdy Boston's debut album which you listened to was the best selling debut album of all time until this fantastic album came along and claimed the title

In 8th grade (87-88) I used to fall asleep with my headphones on, and this tape in the stereo 😎🚬

I love your reaction. I'd say it's genuine. There are lots of reaction videos out there that are faked and overly exaggerated. Subscribed and clicked like!

One of the all time great albums. It's one of a few that I could listen to the album from start to finish and was all great music that I didn't skip songs. I would say this, acdc back in black and Boston's first album.

Izzy Stradlin ( rhythm guitar) is on left with Slash (lead) on right, I believe.

Greetings from Oregon. My 23 year old cat loves this album. Great job. Thanks.. now I have to take him for a walk..lol

That's an ICONIC album there your listening to......God I wish I could go back to them days... They were the fucking best. So much freedom.

The lead guitarrist is just SLASH, the legend 🔥🔥Axl Rose on vocal, Izzy on the base guitar, Duff McKagan on the bass and Steven popcorn Adler on the drums

late to the party.... Just endless joy watching the youth enjoy this classic all the air guitar and bass keep em coming verdy 😍😍

Power Age by AC/DC is another album that keeps your heart rate up. They started the in your face rockin roll dynasty in the 70's. I got to see them twice in 1977 , it was their first American tour.

Great reaction. Love your passion.

Looooove this Album, Axl Rose! Guns n Rose's Rock!

It's cool to see the impact this album is having on you. I would have thought that all this time later it might be a little dated. The swearing on this album was shocking to me at the time. The band felt truly dangerous. I had never heard anything like it, being quite young at the time. Nice to see it still hitting the mark.

Great, super underrated album! All of the tracks are bangers!

No, that is 100% Axl the entire album. His normal singing voice is fairly low, so you heard it in It's So Easy... he's just pushing his voice really hard in the higher parts and after 2 years of touring following the debut of this album his voice gave out and he needed surgery on his vocal chords, and he's never again been able to sing the high notes like he does on this album.

Mr. Brown Stone. Axel's Heroine addiction anthem. The intro sounds like knife blades slashing.

My God!!! That was one of the best reactions I've ever seen so far! Such a wonderful vibe! Loved it! And about Guns N'Roses, there will never be another band like them. Axl Rose was a beast, one of the most iconic vocals ever in the history of music. It's him singing the whole album. And, of course, Slash's guitar work is out of this world. The last great rock band and the best debut album of all time, for sure! Kisses from Brazil ❤️

great reaction, look forward to side 2 :)

Bought this album in 1989 when i was 16, oops gave my age away. My first ever album i bought and what an album it blew me away! My fave band of all time, one of the best bands ever to exist. one of the best frontmen of a band, with one of the unique and recognisable voices ever, Slash one of the greatest guitarist ever, one of the best selling debut albums ever. This album start to finish an adrenaline rush, no fillers every song could of been a single! Does it show it’s my fave band? 😁

2mins in and already grinning and playing air drums Love it :)
