This was the rock version of a diss song

Guns N Roses was considered the most dangerous band in the world back in the day

This song is about the press and media making up bogus stories and taking shots at the band. And as it says in the end, it is dedicated to all the GN'R fans that stuck with them through all they have been through. This is a rare song that calls out the specific music critics and their publications, as Axl mentions Andy Secher at Hit Parader, Mick Wall at Kerrang! and Bob Guccione Jr. at Spin. According to an article in The Washington Post, Guccione wrote a letter to Rose, stating he accepted the challenge (to "get in the ring") but no fight ever occurred.

GNR - You Could Be Mine

Whenever I’m mad, this is the song I listen to😂

They were calling out everyone who trashed them in the press. Axl basically had enough and decided to put em all on full blast. It's a great song to blare to everyone bringing you down and never letting up. 🕊️

Hit parader, Kerrang, circus magazine etc were rock n roll magazines from the 70's to early 2000's or so. Being a teen when Guns came out, it was an amazing fucken time, 1987-92 was the best block in music history !!!

Guns N Roses The Garden...very underrated and different

You’ll like “Outta Get Me” and “Don’t Damn Me”. The live version of “Outta Get Me” at the Ritz 1988 is insane

Keep this Guns n' Roses journey going it's amazing!!

Great reaction! I'm happy that you chose that song, although it's not that famous. I remember listening to it when the album came out and I was still a teenager. We were all a little scandalized and a lot of impressed by this song. And we loved "our" band for it.

With that look when he jumped off the stage, you’re gonna have to watch the Guns N Roses St Louis Riot. Christ it’s fantastic. And will make you hate/love Axl to the moon and back lol

Pleaseeeee do “ breakdown”, “out ta get me” or “yesterdays” next!!!!

the most dangerous band in the word!!!

you should react to GnR "Mr Brownstone" & Night Train"

Never thought I would hear anyone call rock lyrics, "Bars"... but I LOVE IT 😆😆😆

5:54 his face😂 he was not expecting that😂😂😂😂

They have some bars for sure. And btw Axl loved NWA. He even wanted to tour with them.

This type of music is what GnR is actually known for. They have really good, creative lyricism and a vicious delivery. This isn't their best song like this. Their jump off Appetite for Destruction delivers on the name, but if you only heard Sweet Child of Mine and Paradise City, you'd never know. They've always been pissed off at someone lol. It was great for the fans until they ended up hating each other. If you like this vibe, check out You Could Be Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, My Michelle, Nighttrain, Mr. Brownstone...

i'm totally sending this reaction video to my child's 'popular music' teacher. she got a two week suspension for presenting the song to her year 8 class. (No Mr we dont need a ring, it probably was a tad sweary for school lol, but it started a lot of conversations, which is hugely important!) and yes, popular music is an elective subject here in my little Australian town, how cool is that!

Back in the 80s and 90s GnRs were considerd and dangerous band and even tho they had a massive fan base certain magazines were doing interviews with the band and then changing some of the statments to make the band sound and seem evil and dangerous. So the band fought back .

COMA by them you wont regret it

Said it before and will say it again. Gnr... Coma , live Chicago , 1992. with lyrics,....

Hit Parader and Circus Magazine: They printed fabricated interviews with GNR or compiled paraphrased quotes from other sources and presented them as if it were exclusives. Mick Wall at Kerrang: Not clear what the problem with him was. Maybe an interview with Axl where Axl's words were twisted. Bob Guccione Jr. at Spin: The accusation was that they printed lies about the band.

Yes! This is one of my FAVORITE GNR songs!

Nice reaction my friend. You got it right away...GnR was still a real rock n roll band back then, and that didn't sit well with the press at the time as they did all they could to kill heavy rock and were in love with grunge. Before the internet, magazines were all we had to learn shit about the bands we loved. Circus, Hit Parader, Metal Maniacs, Kerrang, that was all we had and Axl let us know they were printing bullshit. My first introduction to media bias...Axl could be a real ass, but he was pretty blatantly honest and I think that's why we still love him.

Glad you liked this song. I believe it has never been played live. It was very controversial when it came out. They don’t hold back.

When you here “ Get in the Ring” That was me and my girl at Saratoga Preforming Arts in NY-1992 ish-Axl said to sing it as loud we can-Get in the Ring! Get in the Ring!

They were good friends with N.W.A and had parties together. Must have been crazy!

This is unique.. you didn’t expect this kind of profanity on a rock CD back then, plus nobody else even close to their stature ever fired shots like these on their albums. The closest my avatar came up with was “Cherub Rock” which was in modern terms a subtweet against “hipsters” in general.

This guy cracks me up laughing as he had no idea what the song is about 🤣🤣🤣. Bless him 🥰

Thank you for reacting to a non-hit vehicle of GNR. I wanna see so much more reactions, but most people stick to the hits..and there is soo much more..great songs, that never got to be a single, and are sometimes better...Thank you, keep it up, please.

DOUBLE TALKING JIVE

Guns N’ Roses - The Greatest Hard Rock Band of All Time - Full on In your Face Hard hitting and Totally High Voltage - Do Nightrain, Deadhorse, Double Talkin Jive, Outta Get Me , Back off Bitch, You Could be Mine, Shotgun Blues and Don’t Damn Me - These are Killer -- One More Never Ever Stop while listening to a GNR song -- FACT 🤘🤘

This song was a fuse for many. No messing, straight to the point HONESTY.

You should react to Guns n Roses - Rocket Queen

Nightrain live in Tokyo 1992

This is pre smart phone days (when dinosaurs roamed the earth) and you had to buy magazines to get info. The names mentioned printed “ lies” about them

Bro I've never seen a reaction to this! I'm subscribing. I was 16 when their first album came out. I could not stop listening to it. These guys are awesome. I can't believe you have the balls correct to the song LOL you got to be good

You should listen Nightrain or something from Appetite from Destruction

Best band in the world

good job on reviewing this... I am surprised more reactors dont

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! One of my FAVORITE GnFnR's songs! It's fuckin EVERYTHING! 💥💯🖤🎶🤘

One In A Million next!

I wish more people would react to this song

Oh shit dude this is a good one lol, this is what being pissed off sounds like in music form

Guns and roses I use to love her

I really like this reactions where ppl really pay attention to the lyrics! 👏

LMAO, when your eyes bugged out near the end, that was a fun night. St. Louis, July 2cd 91, they were the first thing to ever perform at Riverport. Axl asked the security to stop this guy (Billy) from taking pictures, yet Billy was a Saddle Tramp (Motorcycle gang along the lines of the Hells Angels) and so were the security, so when they would not stop Billy, Axl said fuck it, security wont stop him, I will, and jumped into the crowd, broke Billy's camera and jaw, and then walked out on the crowd, show was over, then the fans tore that place down, 14K people riot. They have a ton of songs, that are not majestic or nice.

This was like the first rock and roll diss song!! And a very underrated song!! And fun fact, Bob guccione Jrs dad, Bob Guccione Sr is the guy that started penthouse magazine.

Best reaction Channel ever existed

Dude people always react to November Rain, Patience, Paradise City, Sweet Child, etc Thats not what Guns N Roses were JUST about. They were considered the bad boys of the music industry in the late 80s and early 90s. They held the title of “Most Dangerous Band in the World.” They were reckless, wild and didn’t give a FUCK! Why I loved them so much. They lived that R&R life style. They were only a band for a short time. Their first studio album came out in 1987. Their last studio album 1991. 1993 album was just a cover album of punk songs. Anyways, they were the biggest band of the 80s and one of the most popular and best bands of alltime. You want to get a sense of who Guns N Roses were then listen to these songs: You Could Be Mine, It’s So Easy, Nightrain, The Garden and Rocket Queen. Axl fucked his drummers girlfriend in the studio and out her moaning ON the actual song “Rocket Queen.” They didn’t give a damn man. Also Axl would wear NWA hats a lot of times to try and get NWA attention before they got big Bc he was a Fan. Many times NWA would be in GNR’s dressing room while GNR performed. Axl tried to get a GUNS N ROSES/NWA concert together but they couldn’t get it done Bc both bands were considered to dangerous. He actually wore an NWA hat in their LIVE & LET DIE video. Check those out man!!!

i used to love her!!!

React to: So fine - live in Tokyo Garden of Eaden It's so easy Think about you Mr.Brownstone Rocket Queen - live in Tokyo 💖💖💖

This is one bad ass song dude

one in a million

Reaction you could be mine by guns n roses

They recorded the live chant at Saratoga Springs NY show June 10th 1991. I was there. Wild show. But the never played the song live. And the song was directed at the magazine companies and media.

It's all about one and a million.

Axl Rose is like Slim Shady before Slim Shady even existed

Trust me, you have to react to Always on the Run Guns n Roses feat Lenny Kravitz Paris 92, You will love since Slash and Lenny wrote it, very cool . Funky, energy was crazy. Please, please

So excited to see the reaction to this. All gravy brother joined the holla you tube join

big fan of your guns n' roses reactions haha 💯

And in this corner weighing in at 850 lbs guns n roses. Get in the ring

Diss track!!! The metal way 😂

Great reaction. Keep it up!

This plus Outta Get Me, and Don’t Damn Me, best GnR songs. Period

Definitely have to react to "You could be mine" by Guns N' Roses. The official video. It's badass. Arnold Swarzeneggar is in it.

This was more than likely the first diss song.and I love it!

My Michelle the fast and slow version. Fast first then slow. It will blow your mind.

That was a great diss at Bob Guccione Jr (who founded SPIN magazine)... Bob Guccione Sr. founded Penthouse magazine.

The rock magazines they mentioned wrote lies about g n r having inner troubles and mis quoted them

I'm a member of the holla squad as fo today

Love the GNR reactions. I'd love to suggest November Rain, it's a masterpiece.✌💜🎶

Excellent song!!!!! Guns n roses the best band in the world!!!!!😉😉😋😋😉😉

great video , energy matches song, good editing thanks

Axel is a madman. But he is a great madman. One of the best. GNR is epic, underestimated and misunderstood.

Axl ain’t afraid to throw hands

New sub brother you keep Rocking GN&R.

The first part of the song was dedicated to Vince the singer of Motley Crue, the rest to some reporters that always try to create controversi around GNR

You wanna talk about dis tracks?...welcome to one of the OGs of dis traks

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 G&R 4Ever!!!

Dude I just came across your videos and I have enjoyed the shit out of watching you react to a lot of my favorite songs. When I saw you were doing Guns I had to watch for sure because they are one of my top 5 ..... No scratch that they are my top all time favorite band. When it comes to vocals in my opinion there is no one that can hold a candle to Axl for range and harmony. When Guns N' Roses came out they instantly became the biggest band on earth. I don't know all of the story but a lot of the magazines back in the day wrote all kinds of shit about them and it pissed Axl off and he was not afraid to put it out there and call them out on their shit. They didn't call them the most dangerous band in the world for nothing! For examples of his range listen to all of Appetite for Destruction and the Use your Illusion albums. Just to give a few examples: Welcome to the Jungle, Paradise City, You Could be Mine, Don't Cry, Dead Horse, I could name a ton of them there was not a bad tune on ant of the first three albums for sure!! Thank you for the entertainment my man!

The part where Slash appears in shorts was because he was so fckd up that he couldn't even play so he took all his clothes off in the miffle of the concert. That was in St. Louis, it ended with Axl jumping to the crowd, punching someone and leaving. The crowd got so wild that destroyed the stadium, all the cars and buildings around the stadium. Is known as the St. Louis incident, watch the full concert, half of it is slash fckng up and Axl getting angry at him. Look it up on KZfaq

Homie: And when you stare you don't think I feel it But I'm gonna deal it back to you in spades When I'm havin' fun ya know I can't conceal it 'cause I know you'd never cut in my game, oh no And when you're talkin' about a vasectomy, yeah I'll be writin' down your obituary...history!

Next: You Could Be Mine & Garden of Eden!

Love it.

SIM !!! A BANDA MAIS PERIGOSA E FODA DO UNIVERSO !!!

One in a Million

Very nice to hear the uncensored version!

Way late to the party.. but the people he named were writers/publishers/editors/music critics for various magazines. Those things we used to have to read before the internet..... they went in on him, a lot. He had his own "issues", but when they went in on him right after he got married to that supermodel.. (Stephanie Seymore?) and she passed away basically right after.. the things they wrote then, deserved every bit of this song..... just to nudge you in the direction of the right mindset.. they said things like "he does drugs, I wonder if".... "He gets drunk and fights with his own bandmates, maybe he...." Listen to the song November Rain, and tell me the man ain't love her, and was rightfully put into attack mode when they went over THAT line.....

Now I have to listen to I used to love her. Thanks..lol

Congratulations on hearing some of the GNR you can't hear on the radio.great band what happened to axel was a tragedy
