Apparently the backstory to the famous riff was that Slash used it as a warmup exercise. Axel heard it, liked it and attached a poem he wrote to it and there is the song. Slash said he always hated that riff but grew on him a little as the years went on.

Larry, No matter how bad they sound nostalgia sells.......Every show they play will be sold out.

The thing is, Slash and Duff can buy new guitars. Axl can't go out and buy a new voice.

*Here are a few highlights of Sparks at Glastonbury on my Patreon page, near the end they perform one of the best versions of "This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us" I've ever heard. Ron Mael is 77 and Russell is 74, and still singing in the same key as he did 49 years ago.* www.patreon.com/posts/sparks-live-at-85138713?Link&

I seen Guns N Roses live last night in Glasgow and they where awesome. 😁

AXL ROSE & VINCE NEAL! On tour this summer - promoting their new album: "INCOHERENT BLISS - The Duets Album" Includes the hits: WHAT'S THAT, COME AGAIN, SAY WHAT? JIBBER WHO? JIBBER WHAT... JIBERISH! TAKE ME DOWN TO DYSLEXIA CITY! MUSHMOUTH! ... as well as the number 1 rock ballad... "GIRL, YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND" and the multi-platinum single... "DID I STUTTER? (Don't make me say it again)" + BONUS TRACK... "MAN, IF JAMES BROWN WAS HERE WE COULD ALL HAVE A BEER!" (Extended remix version)

I think the people at Glastonbury prayed it to be like in 2022 where Paul Mccartney pulled out his best concert in years. You should react to this performance, I would like to hear your thoughts on that.

Sweet child o’ whine!

Best album for me was use your illusion 1. They are amazing the reason I play guitar. His voice blows because he can’t be arsed anymore and refuses to take the song down a key

Axel looks and sounds like my transmission mechanic.

My ears are hurting 😂😂

It was sad. Not all musicians age well. Unfortunately. Thank you 😂❤🎉

if you watched it live on the bbc u couldnt hear axl at all (now realising bbc did us a favour)

After seeing your analysis, I had to subscribe. This video was a great reminder why I stopped going to concerts. No, folks, you can't turn back the hands of time. From the moment Slash began the song, there was no passion. And Axel just blows. We saw Slash with Myles Kennedy on vocals years ago and he nailed it. The saddest part of the video is knowing by the expressions of the faces in the crowd, some paying those extravagant prices might have thought this was good.

I'm sure many of their fans are just happy the original members were able to settle their differences, and perform together again. I always thought it was strange that "Sweet Child O' Mine" was considered one of the great guitar riffs. But, I can see why some think so. If you got into music when I did, or right after, you'd think that riff, song and music video are iconic. I think with the original members, Guns N' Roses are still worth seeing.

I was willing to fight my Parents in the 90's to see GnR live. Now i would fight for getting my Money back.

Awhile back i attempted to learn to sing like axl. I went down the rabbit hole. Even back in the day he was hit n miss live. But, damn, when he was on he was incredible! I figured out the basic technique - combo of low belly push with raspy head voice. That's why axle sounds like weak falsetto often now- missing that low belly air pressure and has more than a few fried vocal chords im sure.

What I don't understand at all is that this group still wants to do shows that last more than three hours

saw em in 92 at Milton Keynes Bowl supported by The Cult...I feel sorry for all you yutes who can only see this version of the band and have to imagine how it was

On a side note i was fully convinced you would be doung the vocals ala Bon Jovi reaction 😮😂

I'd love to Russel Mael cover that song. Lights out Axel!

At least you can't accuse him of lip syncing.

I’ll always love this band and I saw them live back in 92 but you are spot on with this video. It’s great to see someone honestly talk about his vocals. It’s sad that he now sounds more like Mickey Mouse but I’m happy they’re back together for the nostalgia factor. Maybe it’ll help if the band played the music a whole key or more lower so he doesn’t have to strain. That’s what they did for Robert Plant when Zep reunited for that show a few years back

Axl's voice is shot. He's 61 now and it wore out from years of abuse and age. It happens to the best of them. Vince Neil can't sing anymore, David Lee Roth can't sing anymore, Paul McCartney sounds very elderly, Elton John can still sing in a limited expressionless lower register but his highs and falsetto range were gone decades ago, Jon Bon Jovi can barely sing anymore, Geddy Lee's voice during the final quarter of Rush's career was shot. Father time catches up to all these guys. You shouldn't be personally attacked for pointing out the obvious. Axl today sounds and looks like somebody's drunk middle-aged uncle doing a bad impression of his younger self during karaoke night.

You should create an isolated vocal track for this.

I have seen The Cure twice on their current tour & Robert Smith who is a decade older than Axl sounds 100% better then him.

Axl went all out with AC/DC. I think he blew whatever rasp he had left doing that gig. He's still an icon tho, and as long as he want's to giver up there thats fine with me, as long as he's not fakin it.. And I think when he has to fake it, he'll hang it up.

what a brilliant business model. Release 4 albums (if you include the Illusion albums as 2) in almost four decades of which the last was essentially an Axl solo record and people still pay huge bucks to see this legacy band.

Axl Rose sounds like Trey Parker doing Mickie Mouse on South Park lol

I saw them 2 years ago and it took the first half of the show for him to warm up to sound decent. I do realize his early vocals were going to be difficult to reproduce if atill performing in his later years. Only a handful of dynamic singers can do well like Rob Halford or Bruce Dickinson in their later years. Talking about singers that have a dynamic and demanding vocal atyle that is a strain to their vocal cords Im a huge fan but also a realist

In Ukraine, we always used to make up jokes about Guns and especially about Axl. Nobody out here takes them seriously.

Try and listen to the cover version of this song by Taken By Trees. It’s mindblowing- plaintive piano and a heartfelt voice

Mick Jagger is 81 and still has his voice and can hip hop around.

just a tip* play the song before you comment, and is your name Mr brownstone, cause you remind me of Mr Brownstone

Nice to see an honest take. Thank you

Bad but not as bad as Bon Jovi sounds now.

You know, if they just fire Axel and toured as an instrumental band, I’d go see them. Though really I find the Gibson/Slash corporate connection boring and ridiculous. How many Slash Les Paul guitars have Gibson made and why? Well, $$$$$$$. He’s not ‘the’ iconic Les Paul guy to me. It sours me even more on the band, which is saying something. For the late 1980s, I thought they were above average for mainstream rock. By the early 90s, they were a total joke, mainly due to Axel. Ok, done venting now…but not the band for me.

It's time to call it Mr. ROSE.

LMAO!!!! Loved the commentary , spot on and so funny. TY! I contemplated going to see them this fall in Houston but started looking at current videos and said Nope! Sorry G&R’s time to retire!

That was embarrassing. Mind you at Glastonbury it was difficult to clearly hear his vocals a lot of the time so that worked out alright. I suppose on the positive side a band not firing a singer when they can’t cut the mustard any longer suggests their friendship means a lot to them. Deep Purple should retire Ian Gillan but again their friendship probably stops them doing it. I think it might be different with the musicians in a band. When they start getting things wrong it’s goodbye, friend or not.

I see why you lost subscribers mate, especially when you said Slash's riff wasn't good I knew then something is wrong with you either you don't know music or you just don't like Gun's and Rose's, which is understandable Axl's voice isn't what it used to be and he does sound horrible here and he just didn't sing the song like it was supposed to be sung like he used to from back in the day he's aged too you can hear it😢 but I don't fault you everyone is entitled to their own opinion, have a great day

I'm kinda of a GNR fan. They have some deep cuts on early albums that are really good.

Their Glastonbury set was screened on the BBC on Saturday night, and I was shocked by how bad Axel's vocals were. He made Elton John (who was on Sunday night) sound like a choir boy!

11:34 😂 Your face 🤣

They can't blame the BBC for this one!

I like G'N'R, I don't love them, but they were not bad! I have a few of their albums, still don't know if I'll do a video about them! Still really love 'Appetite', but they never quite got to that goodness since! I thought Axl did a great job when he subbed for AC/DC, his range worked well with the band. Russell Mael however is an awesome singer, he was wise not to burn out his vocals! Yes, I agree, Axl needs to retire!!!

I went to a Guns N’ Roses concert last year and I do agree with you Axl Rose. He sounded terrible to be honest but in his lower register, he sounds okay, but when he went to the higher register, he sounds terrible.

This is not Glastonbury 2023... This is their Rock in Rio 2022 performance...

I'm on the same level as you Larry, I don't care for Stun Guns 'n Roses. Thank you for your video!

Quien es este man para criticar a la leyenda viviente Axl Rose?

Quando l avidità prevale sulla saggezza

I like Guns N’ Roses but that performance from Axl was painfully bad! 😬xxx

When Axl sang for ACDC he had a great voice but with guns and roses he sounds like mickey mouse!

I saw them this year, Axl was shockingly bad, but I was prepared. Accepted I'd be there for Slash.

GN’R were my world as a teen. Loved it when the reunion happened and really enjoyed going to see them as a grown up. Duff McKagan & Slash are so effortlessly cool it’s mad. I can’t defend Axl here 😂 I’m still subscribed 😉

Everyone has right to their opinion,though I must say his in his 60s and atleast his still pushing the genre of music I love.I personally mocking him is low hanging fruit I’ll put the 80s 90s axl with anyone I playing live his welcome to the jungle live shows of that day were remarkable and I’ll put them against any skarps oops mean sparks show anytime.And as a super fan of gnr your forcing me to make tough decision

Thanks!😆😆😆🙂👽😎

So you didn't like his voice before and now that he doesn't sound that good, you make a video to make fun of him? Wow

You’ve just gained a subscriber. Absolutely atrocious vocal performance at Glastonbury. He even had the cheek to attempt Sliver. Poor old Scot must be turning in his grave. The whole thing is a cash cow. Can’t figure why slash didn’t stick to touring with Miles Kennedy. And yeah Sparks were great as were Qotsa.

The band has relied on a few hits and a host of covers to carry them through the decades.

Nice shirt dude

axl tuvo una mala noche esa vez, por ciero eso fue en rock in rio 2022. si quieres ver algo mas reciente te recomiendo, there was a time live madrid 2023 .

Hi Larry, well i suppose hes singing live, at least, although a pre recorded backing track may have been a better idea, or maybe just mime the original recording, yes its terrible isnt it. But ill give Axel credit for singing it live. Or maybe not actually.........my ears are ringing now.

I think this guy wrecked what was left of his voice in 2016/17 acdc tour... since then his grit has turned into a weird high pitched mickey house squeak.....

OMG 😳

So i don't understand how people can be such idiots that they hate Axl's voice. AXL IS 62 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN CONCERTING FORTY YEARS, HAS BEEN JUMPING AND RUNNING FOR 40 YEARS (EVEN AT 62) HIS VOICE IS NOT THE SAME AS 30 YEARS OLD, BUT WE CAN'T EXPECT A 62 YEAR OLD TO HAVE THE SAME VOICE. I WENT TO THEIR CONCERT IN 2023 AND IT WAS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL, AXL HAD SO MUCH ENERGY! SO PEOPLE PLEASE STOP CRITICIZING AXL!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

I was a GN’R fan and I still think their best music on record is enjoyable. I always found Axl’s craziness entertaining. I can see why people don’t like them, because there was a ludicrous amount of hype around the band. I would have loved to enjoy this gig, but I cannot get past Axl’s vocals now. He can’t hit the high notes with power so he has resorted to this toneless falsetto. And I enjoyed his voice on the original recordings! I was amazed at how much some people in the front row seemed to be loving it. I wonder if it sounds very different when you are actually there. Or was it so loud they were being deafened and could not hear his strangulated puppy dog squeak?

im a massive gnr fan even in the quiet years and his democracy line up,,his voice live now is beyond fucked,,cant listen to him in pro shot recordings..2006 was his best vocal since the early days,

What happened to him?

I saw GNR in 87, 89 and 92. I'd rather see a good GNR cover band today, than GNR.

Appetite for destruction is the biggest album ever for me. It was the first cd I ever bought and it really was my favourite album for the next 20 years or so. Still in my top10. It got me into music.

We know all about his voice not being the same, but the great Jim cuddy dont sound the same as he did back in 1989.

I don't think the age excuse works for Rose given someone like Peter Gabriel still sounds fantastic at 73.

5:36 😂

I saw them live in 2016 and they all were really good but that is pretty bad. Ouch!

Axl Rose the Joe Biden of front men

His voice is shot so is Vince Neil's voice of motley crue.

Hi Larry, I’ll start with saying I am not a fan at all, I neither like nor dislike them. But I watched your video just now then Wikipedia’d Axl Rose. It said he is considered one of the greatest singers of all time. Also, just briefly read the section about legal issues. I’ll leave it there. I have to get ready for work.

You see the 10's and thousands of fans? I bet most of them know that the GnR of today is not gonna be giving the same GnR performances from 1992. But they are there anyway, and they are having a good time and the band is having a good time. Herein lies the entire point.. that the band is with us today, with all of 40 years of wear and tear and not hiding any of it. Fans are just happy, that is 2023 with all the crazy in the world that's happening, that the GnR escape button is still there for them...

The list of 80's rock stars currently embarrassing themselves on tour (either by "singing" like this or lip syncing) could fill a book. It's pathetic.

How about Tom Warrior on vox?

I was expecting this to be another joke video like you did a few months back with your bad vocals instead of Bon Jovi’s, and I also think you did it with this song, those were really funny, but in the end, this is kind of like that I guess…

Its not terrible, but Axl is def not the same as he used to be.. The music however. Slash and Duff are still really good. I can see why you would think that way about Axl's voice..

I was told a long time ago God answers all prayers, sometimes the answer is just no. If he would stand still maybe he wouldn't sound so out of breath.

So what is youre problem? He is 63 years old, you sing this song and what hapend to you😏

Axel Rose is the one member that has always stopped me from embracing this band Larry! Spot on brother!❤❤❤ At least back in the day, he was only annoying, but now he’s just pure ear-bleed!!!❤❤❤

You are spot on Larry, Sparks were awesome at Glastonbury but as usual the only thing being said about them is the fact they were joined on stage by Cate Blanchette. Makes my blood boil. Anyway, hope you have the best time when you go to see them in Toronto next week. Let us know how it goes.

Axle's been gifted a huge helping of karma for all the times he thought his ass didn't stink and all the rotten crap he did to concert patrons

You make me laugh, do a reaction to Sparks at Glastonbury or even Elton John he was amazing

The band needs to tell Axl to sing down a key man

Axl's voice still the best.

I wasn't, then was a GnR fan back in the day, buying up all the singles and bootleg records I could find, listening over and over. By the time Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 came out, I was burnt out on the band. Like you mentioned, they didn't put out much after that. Chinese Democracy was meh for me, all that waiting for a mediocre album. (IMO) I did see them quite a few times throughout the years and saw them once since their "reunion". That once was enough. I can't stand Axl's falsetto or whatever he's doing now. I don't know if he's been taking vocal lessons (doesn't sound like it to me), but he'll need to before I seriously consider seeing them again.

Axl really lost the power in his voice :( Sounds more like talking and struggling with that

Time to pack it in. So sad he's been reduced to this. Just terrible.

I think Slash said that this is least favorite GNR song to play.. 💁

Mate, have you ever hit a note in your life?

I did hear in the UK they were saying Alex turner why is he trying to sound American

Songs way too high for him now. Another 20 years and he could probably sing it like he did originally since your voice goes higher as you age.

Ya still love Appetite. The Illusion albums are pretty spotty. My god like a lot of the 70’s and 80’s guys that can’t do it anymore that is just awful. Yet look at the crowd and how much they had to pay to listen to that. Tho people want to down backing vocals? I don’t know seems needed here for sure 😂
