The story was when he arrived in LA for the first time the first person he met fresh off the bus told him "welcome to the jungle, you're gonna die". GNR really had a lot of songs about the down and dirty side of LA from the metal head's side of things...

Arguably the greatest opening track to a debut album ever…

That opening riff and scream scared the mess out of the glam rock crowd. The smart ones knew their time was up.

Now this is my kind of music 😁

The message of the song is still relevant today.

Wow just noticed you are pushing 1 million...I hope you do brother, such a cool dude and your FAMILY!

I remember the first time I heard this live in concert.., The crowd went OFF!!! 🤘😜🤘

Great to see your music reactions back

I remember the moment that this song premiered on MTV! I was in my house with MTV on in the background and I was 21 years old. This song hit and I stopped what I was doing and turned up the T.V. and then I called my mom and asked her "are you listening to this?!!!!?" Both of us watched while on the phone with each other and we were instantly fans of Guns n Roses!!!!!!! The 80s. What a time to be alive!!!!

80s were the best times for all types of music

I remember watching this video when it first came out, and my buddy turned to me and said, "This is going to be one of the biggest bands ever." Boy was he right.

Thank you for reminding me how good this song is. Thank you more for your words of wisdom at the end.

They had a rock solid rhythm section with a lot of presence for that era. You may want to check out "Mr. Brownstone " for a different groove by the same band.

I’m sooooo happy you started doing music again! You look happier, too! ❤ya!

Even on MTV they only played it at 1 or2 am hoplng it wouldn't hit at first. Being their first single off their debut album. Wrong! Because who is up at that time watching? Young people Ha ha. "Appitite For Destruction/ title, became one of the highest selling debut albums ever!

For those of you who remember when VH1 played music videos, they did a countdown of the 100 greatest hard rock and heavy metal videos. This ranked #1 on that list. Absolutely my favorite GNR song!

The song is VERY much the smae theme as Hotel Californa with talking about coming to the city and all the dark things you can get into/lost in.

..."Class of 76"... every time I hear this song I can't get it out of my head...

“Oh my god”. “OoooooooooOoooooOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo” yeah! Classic. Love the reaction to OG GnR!

Jamel. Before G&R broke out a record exec saw them play. This man tried to keep them from getting a label. He said they were energetic, loud& dangerous". If they break out they' be everywhere!".

I'm the 4th view 😂 It's nice to see you keeping good music alive again. I haven't been watching the random Tiktok reactions 🤷🏼‍♂️

I still remember when this song blew up, it was a great time. We lived in Hollywood for a few months in the early 70's. All I remember is my parents wouldn't allow us to leave the apartment complex and we were out of there fast and my parents were as serious as I ever saw them. I was so happy to move out of there.

i love guns and roses

Sorry to hear you lost your sister ❤

One of my favorite songs of theirs along with welcome to the jungle, patience, civil war, sympathy for the devil, November rain

I must have watched about 25 to 30 people's reaction to this song and yours has been the best one. You are the only one who got it and what it was about. All the others I have seen looked for more deeper meanings to "The Jungle" and what it meant, most thinking it meant to world in general and GNR was making a statement about how messed up world is etc. Sometimes lyrics are just lyrics and just mean smuch simpler things and not trying to make a statement about anything. Even in some of the best songs. The Beatles Helter Skelter was just about a kids slide in a park, Steffen Wolfes song Magic Carpet Ride was just about a guy who bought a new HI Fii stereo system etc. Thanks for you reaction and pointing out that Welcome to the Jungle is about the dark side of the city of LA and GNR was not trying to make some political statement on how messed up the world is.

Great song ❤

Best intro to a song EVER!🎸🎸🎸💃💃💃 Also, when this song was released back in the 80s, I didn’t understand what it meant. I was in the 7th grade! I just knew I loved it! However, now….WOW. I definitely understand it. 🤯

Show'd up on a GREYHOUND bus, you gonna see the seedy side right out da gate.

Steven Adler is a beast

Yes finally another music reaction 🤘

my photos of Guns N Roses have been published all over the world in major publications such as Rolling Stone, and The New York Times. Plus they are in several documentaries on VH-1 and MTV. Of course I guess I cheat, because I am a professional rock photographer (semi- retired, hey I am getting old)

The song describes living in a notoriously dangerous high crime part of L.A. Yet despite the message the song conveys those times seemed to be so much happier. The 80's was truly a special decade.

80’s Axl 😍

Love this band and song, has well as many others of theirs! 😁🔥🔥✌️

The magic of Izzy Stradlin

Slash is THE MAN!!!!🎸😘

Simply goes to show GREAT music is appreciated by all shades..👏👏👏

Saw these guys back in 87 they opened for motley crue and nobody was talking about motley crue after the show.

SERIOUS 90’s flashbacks here with this one Jamel ✊😎🇦🇺

All the years I have watched you, I am suprised u never did this song...lol

Once and sometimes twice a month I used to go to the ice making and delivery factory. The first time I went I was given the address and told that it was right off the 91 freeway. I took the proper exit and I was greeted by a sign that says Welcome to Compton ! After I soiled myself and finally getting the right direction all was well... The drive back to the central coast was relaxing after I changed my garments.

I saw Guns N Roses live when i was pregnant with my son in 2017. That show was epic. My son was kicking in my belly the whole time. He loved it. And my son didnt kick much he was so mellow. Definitely was a Gun N Roses baby. Definitely would go again if they come through.

First single of their debut album. What a start to a career 😳

Glad you liked it guns n roses rocks❤

One in a Million

Yea! Yea! Yea!!!!!! Music reactions!!!!!! Love them! Thanks, Jamel!

Jamel_AKA_Jamal: I've been watching your videos for about 2 years off and on: I've always liked your content but, somehow you keep growing on me and I finally broke down and subscribed just now, you likeable bastard. To quote Greta Thunberg: "How dare you (be so likeable)!?" She didn't say that last part, of course but, I think you get my point, sir. Much love; please, keep making great content. I haven't checked to see if you've reacted to Dr. Hook's: 'Cover of the Rolling Stone" Please do if you haven't.

YES more guns n roses reactions!!!! please Jamel!!!!

The intro to this song is always a banger. You know when it hits your getting ready for more. Love your reaction to this too.your headbanging made me start to headbang.

Patience and November Rain are their best ballads...and two of my favorites of theirs, ever! Check ‘em out ❤

Guns is one my favorite bands from the 80"s early 90's❤

Not sure if you rezognize the guy palying guitar with the black hat and long hair, it's Slash. Famous guy!

Glad to see you're back to music reactions...one of my favorite GNR songs from the 80's!

Adler at 2:02 is the coolest thing in a video imo

Great track. Great album. Great rock vocalist. Everything about this hits.

BRAVO to you with your Analysis & breakdown of the TRUE meaning of this brilliant song Jamel! KEEP the TRUE MUSIC ALIVE!!!

Love this song!!! Says alot!!!

Great!✌️ You're reactions are awesome✌️

So glad you are still doing music reviews!

Love your Channel, man. What a journey!

This was the first song I ever heard from GnR and this song and the entire album blew my teenage ass away!

Definitely reigns supreme as a stadium song forever. ❤️🎶❤️

I was hanging out in LA one day visiting graves of celebrities and my last stop was Holy Cross by LAX. After that I was headed to the house of an old high school friend and entered her address into my navigation system. As I was driving it said "in two miles turn left on Crenshaw Avenue" and instantly I was like "nope" and changed direction so it would give me a new route.

When work goes off the rails, we say it's a "$h!t show." On one of those times, I played this song from my phone and changed the lyrics to the following (the person's name has been changed, but it was the Manager on Duty who is my friend, so I was poking fun at her as well as trying to lighten the mood of our coworkers.) "Welcome to the $h!t show, It's not fun and games, Everyone is all pi$$ed off, and Karen is to blame..." Everyone laughed, and it helped get us all out of the funk we'd been mired in. Thanks for sharing!

😅 Loved your reaction to this song Jamal!!

1986 I hit Tower Records like a bulldozer.People were fighting over available cassettes.I got mine😊

the intro gives me goose bumps every time

Love to hear you got out of that part of L.A. and earning your success.

Been missing the good ol "music reactions". You are the best😎❤🎶🤙

Oh my goodness! This brings back some memories! Lol! This was one of my favorite bands in the 80s! This was their first hit off their first album. I was blown away... I loved them! Haha! I got to see them in concert in 1992 in Washington DC. They were the headliners. Faith No More was the opening act and then Metallica played. What an era to be alive! Thanks for the reaction!

The greatest rocknroll song ever❤❤❤❤❤

I read that GNR and NWA hung out a couple of times because they saw similar artistry in each other. Thought that was super cool!

This entire album was pretty epic.

Such a great debut album. Stories about the city.

Getting close to a million, brother. Come on guys. Share this channel. Let your friends know how great this channel is.

Many rockers wrote beautiful love songs, Axl wrote This I love, I have not seen one reaction for this song, not one, you would be the first! Would you also react to I Still love you KISS MTV unplugged 1991. Apparently Paul Stanley wrote this song after learning from the news his girlfriend was getting married to an actor. Here again, not many reactors have done this one and I don't understand why! Thanks, it is nice to see you back keeping great music alive.😊

Falling in reverse - Voices in My head Falling in reverse - Watch The World Burn

Great video!🙂

Great reaction as always ❤

Incredible album and video!💯

One million subscribers coming up.

Once again loving seeing you get back to music reactions.

La Brea and 6th St is where he steps off the bus. I think the bench is facing the other way now. I once lived on La Brea and 3rd and wish I had known this at the time.

I live in L.A. for a year. That was enough for me.✌

Love your reactions to this day brother

Dude, you made me think I was having some kind of Matrix error! lol. Too bad, I was hoping I really did travel to the future and see this video 3 years before you released it. LOL Oh well, I enjoyed it the 2nd time just as much as the 1st.

This song plays at the beginning of the movie Lean on Me. That opening sequence was my introduction to what inner city schools may have looked like. With this song in the background, it was crazy.

This was the opening song for the movie lean on me.

My favourite Rock group of all time 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻thanks for the insight man🤘🏻

I still remember the first time I heard this song when it came out. I was like WOAH who the hell is this and omg I want more!

This band and the album appetite for destruction got me into rock music back when I was in 5th grade.

5:18 I never knew "The Jungle" was a legit place - some new insight about this song I didn't expect

I loved Jim Carry's lip sink to this song in the Clint Eastwood Movie "Dead Pool".

My favorite GNR, Love it🎉🎉🎉🎉

I miss your old intro so much. You got to bring it back.

They play this song a lot at sport games. I used to watch hockey games when I was younger and they play this a lot.

Hanoi Rocks had been their main, huge influence ❤

I hope this is just the beginning of the Guns N' roses rabbit hole. I also hope you react to some of the deeper cuts, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I know it's the same ol same ol that gets the views
