Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine Live at Ritz '88

[15lellykelly]

wow....i'm so jelaous of the people in the crowd...they didn't know how fucking lucky they are to listen to guns n roses in '88, or just to see Axl *_*

[Theory94]

one of the guitars slash used in this gig also in this particular song is what his AFD signature model is modeled after the one their manager gave him with the zebra pickups. great player and amazing band this was in my view their best time.

[MrLeagueOJustice]

really the best rock band in the history of the world, if I'm not mistaken

[Mr3Chords]

what a gig

[8sharstar8]

Slash is a much better guitarist now than he was then, and he was still better than most people then.

[occhioallallocco]

[beptube]

lol it was really a condom

[shintsujimura]

yeah lmao. silly axl.

how did he blow it up that big though? penises are not that big.. lol

only black peoples

[beptube]

yeah man, but I saw in one video that they can put a man's head (the brain's head...) inside a condom!! So it's really flexible.., and yeah, so like his black people don't have too much problem..

[afanofmeanythings]

what's Axl doing at the beginning? And what's with the ball?

[ExlRocker]

a ball?????

i think its a condon!!! lol

[diegoNB115]

amazing yhe original guns n roses axl,slah,izzy,duff and steven

[rock100pre]

ADLER the best DRUM

[styrofoamtomato]

the last great rock n roll band. Legendary.

[omgaroflolz]

Steven was doing too much dope (heroin) and he wouldnt stop, axl and the other members got him to sign a form saying if he carries on he can be kicked out.

basically he signed it, then didnt stop so they kicked him

[DarkoBrownstone]

<3 AXL,SLASH,DUFF,IZZY,STEVEN <3

[the1spen]

Back in the 80's was a great time on the sunset strip in L.A. My friends band would play at gazzarries or the rainbow, and id come down from nothern cal to watch and was amazed at the scene there. Even though i didnt quite fit in to the craziness of it all as i was usualy wearing a hank jr. shirt or something i could tell it was one of the funnest places to be on the planet on a friday or saturday night.

[guitarhero31333]

i like how axle is rollin a cigarette in the back

[PorchM0nky4Life]

he's not rolling a cigarette, he was opening a condom and blowing it up like a balloon

[gnr409]

my dream is that the real gnr get back together i cant wait for itt :D

[guitarhero31333]

its not gonna happen, slash refusses

[omgaroflolz]

slash doesnt refuse, he just doesnt plan it, he says like if it happens then it happens but atm hes got his own problems like velvet revolver to sort out.

axls the one that refuses.

[GunsNRosesLover1601]

this is real Guns N' Roses !!! :D

[14edthegreat18]

wheres ritz?

[slash1128]

new york

[Grovak]

so young and so sexy, dear Axl... I know hat I'd do with you 20 ears ago

[legomaniac93]

where is slash now???

[erikande17]

???

this is the real Guns N' Roses!

[gepard198]

ofcurse lmao

[gabojc]

If you mean for the members and the sound ...... YES IT IS !!!

[Jpmconceicao]

Slash is in Velvet Revolver

[SLOWBIND]

he's in Velvet Revolver, the most AWFULL band :( he and duff could do much better

[WatchYourAttitude]

Well VR isn't that awfull really. Their first album was quite alright. Their second wasn't as good. But I think that when they find a relacement for Scott they'll strart rocking again. And well the music they play is the music the want to make. Else they wouldn't be doing it.

[msuman91]

@WatchYourAttitude yea.. scott was too iggy poppish for the style of music i think?

[WatchYourAttitude]

maybe yeah. but in the first album, contraband, it all fitted very well. but then with libertad it din't work so well.

[waajyar]

yeaahhhh !!! one of the favorite bands

[makubex028]

may i ask a question sir what happen in this guns n roses band now,,

im concern in this band ..

pls reply..

[pagefan89]

it was b/c he was on drugs and messed up in concerts

[LedNRoses]

I'm reading the book, Adler was kicked out because of his drinking and he lacked the skills required for Guns new album, use yoru illusion, according to Axl

[vanheras]

the best riff...

[JeffsCharismatic666]

You know evryone says Axl rose is the asshole

Well i have news for u

so were and still are the other member of the band

Adler got kicked out coz he couldnt play the fucking songs anymore

the rest left coz Axl was being controling ill give u that but tbh any of u think it was to make the band better

And if it wasnt for Axl being the way he was you would never be watching this vid or even herd fo GnR so be thankful

[gnr2497]

adler waz on drugs the rest is true

[bilkox]

Every time i hear this song is like a storm of endorphines in my brain

[maury1820]

Se fue izzy y cagaron los guns , que pena fue una linda epoca esa.

[drugskid890]

axel sings a little differnet from the video video but they still rock

[stevecato]

the best he ever sang it, they way they played it, for that fucking time!!!! goddamnit!

[kendant]

Slash

Izzi

Duff

Steven

Plz! No fight with axl, retur to GNR

I dont speak inglish ver well :P

[fjc1995]

guns arent as good without slash and izzy :( itsa shame really

[dzoni2510]

yes u r right but they are pussies because they left the band!!!!!!!!!!

[joshysanders1994]

no, actually they left the band because of that asshole axl, axl started becoming a control freak and slash and izzy hated being in a ban ruled by a dictatorship

[gunsnroses0512]

whats different just curious

[progressivelectro]

Ultra Rare images of Guns N' Roses!

look my friend:

/watch?v=I3I59vrGL24

[aristeolc]

slash is god

[fuckshit180]

was that a condom at the being that axl had in his hand and throu in the crowed lol

[mrdahonk]

YUP!

[gregster186]

guns n roses 85-90 is prob da best rock band ever..that combination of those 5 guys will never happen again and was amazing..once axel became a physco and adler got kicked out it got ruined

[maxxoccupancy]

Adler was my favorite. Sorum is awesome, too, but you'll never replace the energy that Adler brought to the stage.

[bescientific69]

i agree, and he always looked really happy to be on stage!

[maxxoccupancy]

Slash also looked happy to be onstage, especially when he was high on smack.

Great performance, though.

[stalefishtweak]

Finally Someone agrees with me!!! Sorum is great but Steven Was G n R through and through... for their first gig in seattle they asked steven to come with no notice but he came anyway.... show wat a crazy motherfucker he is....

Get well Steve!!!

[joeg648]

steve is so mutch better than matt, i h8 matt y did he take over from steve and whats wrong with steve?

[kendant]

i agree steve is better than matt

[gunsnroses0512]

hes a crazy addict

[sio42]

hes been sober for 6 months now so shut up. and kicking him out of the band for drug abuse was incredibly stupid!! everyone was doing drugs at the time except for axl

[gunsnroses0512]

ok so when you cant lay down your drum beats because your too high thats worth keeping someone yeah he was a cool guy but he fucked up

[slimyesli]

They kicked him cuz he could not play not because he was always high (its a fact)

[fuckshit180]

nah mate it was drugs that got him kicked out thats why he couldn't play eaither they had him sign a contract that if he carried on the drugs and drinking aswell then he would be kicked out of the band

[Passthepie]

what io heard was that he was too fucked up on drugs and booze( which I think is a little weird thinking about the others abuse)... And there was something with steven and axl, axl didn't think steven deserved the same amount of cash as the other bcuz he "only" was on drums.. he didn't show for practise and so on, and when he did he was fucked up and sloppy.... that's the way i understood it :P

[JohnBurninate]

No,steven bitched and moaned about being cut in on the song writing.He got his way even though he didnt write anything.According to "watch you bleed" this has cost axl rose 3million since 1990.

[kurzynski5]

i know it gets said alot but maaaaan fuck do i miss the original lineup! : ]

420

[Lockz515]

Adler is a fucken awesome drummer such a shame hes such a druggie

[nathanwazere08]

yep adler was an awesome drummer but he let his drugs get in the way of his music and thats what fucked it up for him

[HairyJoes]

according to slash's book steve's cleaned up his act, hopefully he'l make a reappearance in the music scene

[nathanwazere08]

slashes guitar dont sound right

[hille32]

its live.. it doesnt sound like studio albums

[nathanwazere08]

yeah but if you look at other live performances of this song his guitar sounds a lot different than this

[JonnyRake]

the sound quality of this recording and youtube makes it sound different, anything down to the different sized room can make a huge difference in sound also.

[shortziznice]

its a lil out of tune thats all

[marcinjulius]

Duff rulez!!!

[JohnnyBGoode304]

amen..

[smokebluntrubcunt]

I dont care what any 1 says, I Seen this band in the mid 80s ( 86-88) and this is the original members , and thats why they had such a tight sound, theyyll get back together fora renioun in a few years watch, thats a show i cant wait for

[NightRyder4life]

amen... I'd pay anything to see it .. GNR in the 80's were gods.. and thats that...

[RocknRollChild03]

damn right

[Aszach001]

That will never happen...you don't know much axl hates slash he even said that slash is in his ass...that's were slash is..

[punkdrug]

i fucking love this awesome song and the band!!!!!

[slashrocks000]

Im talking about the fake guns n roses there guns n shit the real are awesome but they rock up so there is no real guns n roses :(

[slashrocks000]

yeah Iv heard it to its absolutly shit I hate its nothing like the real guns n roses this band is ums m shit!

[EdWaRdGuiTaR15]

its got that modern rock sound. nothing like guns n roses....really dissappointing

[Shadow72727]

chinese democracy is shit. its only axl from the original lineup. it shouldnt be called guns n roses, it should be called axl n friends...

[kakiandpepe]

All those people who says that slash is overated i got somthing to say to you,You can suck my d*ck slash is not ovrated' did you ever heard him play?! hes amazing!! slash is a guitar ginuis

[allfalltoday]

SLASH IS GOD.

[mtb312000]

Who say's that? Whoever they are, they are clueless. He's rarely heralded at all because he's so ahead of his time, people can't even hear the level he's on. I've played for 18 years and can tell you if I wasn't bewildered by what he does, I'd be angry.

[kjaerjakcajk]

Only the best bands break up, unlike shit ones like Metallica that become bad cover bands of themselves.

[dnfierro]

LOL "like Metallica that become bad cover bands of themselves"...Amen to that. But Matt Sorum was a clown shoes replacement when you look at how Adler rocks at the drums here.

[allfalltoday]

i know man i was just thinkin that and i dont even play drums i play GUITAR LOL.

[allfalltoday]

hell ya bro gnr will never die.

[lefrenchwondur]

Metallica was, is, and continues to be one of the most influential bands on the planet. Their impact on modern music is incalculable.

Additionally: Matt Sorum is one hell of a drummer. Steven Adler was a feel and attitude drummer, while Sorum was a tight and technical drummer. Although Adler was an original gun (a rare thing these days) Sorum was an excellent addition to the lineup.

[liampuss]

anybody else stoked for Chinese Democracy?

[obellion]

no im not..dude there not even fully guns anymore..slash duff and steven and izzy are gone from the band..all thats left is axl...HAHAHA

and his gay guitarist bumblefoot..there not even the same gnr anymore man..just because axl's got the godamn name dosnt mean there still the same gnr

[pigeonset]

ive heard it like most, and axl takes a step from ahrd rock to heavy rock. and it aint good

[WoWOmegaServer]

my respects to Steven Adler

[ausmuller]

yeah axel sings good as here.

[sabritas1534]

greatest concerts of all time

[soccerwr]

fucking awesome

[beatricewillen]

BEST!!!

[Fonzi79]

Axl's stage presence is so freaking mesmerizing! This was Axl at his best!

[0live0wire0]

yeah he wasn't a fucktard back then, he was just a great singer and frontman.

[SynysterGates30]

Axl has always been an asshole.

[Fonzi79]

Yes the book is the Best GNR book I have ever read! I'm a huge fan and know tons about the band and ther was alot of things that I didn't ! It's very detailed!

[Hendricksoninc]

HAHAHAHA axel blew up a condom!!!!!!!

[flygreekguy]

The definitive lineup! The fucken greatest!!!Btw, Slash's autobiography is good stuff too.

[Fonzi79]

Everyone read the new GNR book! It's called Watch You Bleed, The GNR saga! It just came out and is the best gnr I've read so far!

[Jmirand01]

is it good? i was debating wether to get that or roadcrew

[Jmirand01]

is it good? i was debating wether to get that or reckless road

[TheDr5544]

It's an awesome book. I grew up listening to GNR back in middle school and they're been one of my fav's ever since. I couldn't put the book down, finished in in a weekend. Some awesome stories and insights into the real life of the Gunners from their early days on Holywood Blvd!

[LaCtoZ]

Axl doesnt sing that good anymore, but for a 46 years old singer, he's awesome

[xplayboards7]

if you watch the Rock in Rio 3, wich took place in 2006, at the beginning of welcome to the jungle (only the beginning of the song) his voice sounded like it did in the 80s.

[LaCtoZ]

rock in rio 3 took place in 2001 ...

[xplayboards7]

it did? my bad.

[LaCtoZ]

you mean rock am ring 2006?

[xplayboards7]

No, i mean rock in rio 3, on the song "welcome to the jungle" his voice was awesome ONLY AT THE BEGINNING of the song.(only the beginning)

[gaaralovapolli]

I LOVE SLASH AND AXEL mostly slash!!!!!!!!!

[Ryno837]

slash shreds

[chickensbumfluff]

I Love Axl Rose, but the vocals on this performance suck  :/

[slowrock12]

I disagree wid u man.i think the vocals were great here!

[0live0wire0]

what the hell he sings perfect in this one!

[xplayboards7]

well ya think?, its from the 80s when his voice was still good unlike nowadays.

[lragnarok11]

lol axl blows up a condom at the beginning

hahah that's a classic :)

[RebelGhoszt]

it's fitting because more than likely this diddy got them all alot of female fans not to mention a shitload of pussy. lol.

[JROD2213]

axl iz as hot az fuck!!!

[johnofthewall]

axl sounds way better when he was yonger now he sounds gay

[hackhead123]

well you try singing like that for more than twenty years, constantly, worldwide

[benny704]

ye thats fukn punishment on ur throat

[FemaleEmppu]

yes-axl, slash, duff, steven & izzy

its not gnr without them!

[FemaleEmppu]

i would also have liked to see them with the five REAL members of gnr...ill always love axl, but he didnt half screw it up!! and i cant believe he's still trying to keep gnr going-theres no point without the other dudes!!anyway he's rather taking his time releasing chinese democracy...about thirteen years now & millions of dollars he's spent on it-hurry the fuck up!!

[venger1994]

who five real members?

axl,slash,duff,steven and izzy

[donlennaerts]

dude yea?

[Slash122gnr]

o que ele enche??

[gohanboy59]

axl sucks he shouldint have broke up those guys

[BLOoDShoT1987]

Dat is kinda true, but i still luv him, n still think hes V-E-R-Y tallented, cummon, u gotta admit he knows his rock n role stuff!

[ACDCbestband]

why do you write slash?? it is saul huddson!... just a joke.. XD but his name is saul hudson...

[Drew12324]

It's just a nickname...

Why is Angus Young called Angus Young because he doesn't have a nickname. It's his real name. Great song. P.S. AC/DC is a awesome band. Just getting on you. Bye

[donlennaerts]

lol

[XXSLashXnXBurnXX]

Dude, his name IS Angus Young, and Saul Hudson's nickname is "Slash". Christ, it's not that hard.

-DDP

[lindamaffy]

GNR always the best!

axl I love you

[Eyeswitch]

Wish I could have seen them before all the good members broke up.

[crazyslash]

this is brilliant cheers dude

[jeffheff88]
