Guns N' Roses - One In A Million - Live CBGB 1987

[voodoochild1311]

Insted of fighting on the lyrics, look at these chicks in front of Slash getting ready to get laid

[anusgurka]

one of the best GnR songs!

[ohweloveeverton]

i dont understand something. i remember Axl saying he has only preformed this song live twice. once in new york and once in la. if this was there first live preformance well before it was released how does the crowd know the words.

[Alexalt1989]

@ohweloveeverton I don't think the crowd knows the lyrics, it seems that they repeat after Axl.

[axlslash38]

@ohweloveeverton this is in new york , understand now ?

[Holmer87]

I love how some morons take the time to listen to this awesome music and starts the "racism" bullshit.. It´s a song, ok! So just fuck off and chill, but i like that you took the time to listen.. Cuz i never watch/listen to music that i find offensive or bad... GN´R <3

[BrunetteMille]

I've read in the GNR biography by Steven Davis (Watch You Bleed), and it says that Guns n' Roses never played One in a Million live, but obviously that is not true. Do you know if this is the only time they played it?

[moisawesomeqwerty]

@BrunetteMille Yes, I'm almost certain that this was the only occasion they played the song out of the recording studio. Or in front of a crowd at least..

[Pop2Lock]

Ladies and Gentlemen. Not proud, not bragging but you're now watching: THE BEST FUCKIN' BAND IN THE WORLD. GUNS N' FUCKIN' ROSES.

[slingblade1977]

After the next ice age, when future civilizations are unearthing artifacts from the 20th century, this video will prove we were not completely devoid of culture.

[paulquatro]

horrible and racist lyrics

[Bohumill2]

@paulquatro All is racist, if you use bad words...Its so easy...

[tampertt]

@paulquatro

Then you don't seem to understand what the song is about

[paulquatro]

@tampertt i can be misunderstanding, but what i think is that he is speaking against some groups as inmigrants, is he saying something good aboiut inmigrants for example?

[TheYakove]

slash,izzy and duff disliked the vid

[polipoli8]

Most Guns N' Roses underrated songs:

1.Coma

2.Locomotive

3.One in a Million

4.Don't Damn Me

5.The Garden

Thumbs up.

[LeMarkshow]

@polipoli8 dude you read in my mind, i agree ! thoses songs are the songs that i listen more often when i listen to GNR

[juancruzx]

@polipoli8 add estranged to that and theres the list of thebest GNR songs

[polipoli8]

@juancruzx Estranged is not underrated because it's a much more popular and appreciated song than ''Locomotive'' & ''Coma'' Iii|; )'

[dreamscape03]

@polipoli8 I agree with all but The Garden. I'd put in My Michelle over that.

[polipoli8]

@dreamscape03 Excuse me but My Michelle is a much played song like for all the ''Use Your Illusion'' tour they played it. Not the same case for The Garden, Don't Damn me (only song from use your illusion that was never play), Locomotive and Coma a few times.

[dreamscape03]

@polipoli8 I'm down with that. My Michelle was not a radio song, but they definitely played it live. It's a great song. And how Don't Damn Me is so obscure is beyond me. That song is fucking great!

[weester98]

@polipoli8 What about Estranged?

[polipoli8]

@weester98 Often played really popular so for me it's not an underrated songs. :)

[weester98]

@polipoli8 Kk, it's your opinion :D

[narnim2]

@polipoli8 pls add also

Dead horse

Breakdown

Double talkin' jive

14 years

Bad obsession

and so on and on and on..

[rmc1491]

3 people are definitely one in a million

[OfficialTribe]

Shootin stary-ar, make us cryey-eye..haha Axel WAS the shit.

[antman432]

awesome so good to catch the original line up doing what they do best playing live

[RockerCroatia]

this wasn't played much because Slash refused to play this because he felt offended by the "niggers" who are mentioned in the song, and you know Slash is half black half jewish/white

[mybigbuick]

@RockerCroatia I heard the "police and niggers" stems from an experience Axl had coming to LA for the first time. He got hustled at the bus station by homies selling gold chains, had an altercation, and was cuffed. Hence the "gold chain" and "bracelets clapped in front of my back".

[psychosocial6655]

@RockerCroatia your a dumb shit slash's mom got offended by slash did give a crap about him nigger and he not jewish.

[RockerCroatia]

@psychosocial6655 wtf? learn fuckin english I can't understand you

[alexmccoy11]

@psychosocial6655 Are you English?? Because RockerCroatia's comment doesnt mean anything relevant to your comment.

[IloveGnr96]

I love this song!! -3

[Dehis]

@MegaMegalomaniac Y put in doubt axl's sexuality, he's a man, and all his fans can be proud of that, don't need someone like you to criticize him! utterly sure that you may have some faggys in your bloodline!!! HE IS THE FUCKIN' GREAT!!!

[heavytom89]

@Dehis are you scared of homosexuals?? rendezvous with anus :-)

[Dehis]

This is the best lyric ever ever!!!! Awesome live work as well!!

They make no sense to me!!!!!

[young5ever]

I love the studio version, but here boy they have a hard time keeping up the beat!! Freaking stoners...

[crazyswayzevideos]

what kind of beer is axl drinkin

[KingOfPica]

I gotta get myself a pair of aviators and a bandana now...

[DestinyMaylor]

am i wrong or there is someone who is making fool of this song?hahaha..neverthless the solo guitar of Slash can't be heard so well in this vid.

[DestinyMaylor]

hahaha Steve congratulations for ur instrument..a tambourine..yes and u can play it!

[GNRmello77]

word:P

[GNRmello77]

this song really fits perfect with me it's exactly who i am and how i am almost every worth!

[MegaMegalomaniac]

AxL is a fuccking faggot, really this guy is as stupid as it gets

[IronRoses24]

@MegaMegalomaniac Dude, seriously Axl is kinda a homaphoic.

[Dehis]

@MegaMegalomaniac I'm sure he slept with more girls than all your family together!!!

[MegaMegalomaniac]

@Dehis yeah that may be true but its completley irrelevant, dont you think? whats your point anyway?

[greenissues85]

this is a unplugged

[Craig78910]

Axl="Sir, one more outburst out of you and I will strangle you with my microphone wire, do you understand me?"

[viejodivinodondevas]

i'd love to sing drunk in such awesome way, the sober i was the less i could reach even the simpest tone

[bertrice999]

best lyrics ever!

[achavogo]

to much drunk

[gee645]

amazing song. my all time fave band, fave guitarists, fave singer, fave drummer and of course fave bassist

[scottdbryant]

The use of "fave" sucks.

[cglawrence]

Racism? Its a frigging song telling a story. Its not like they run around calling every black person a nigger. Chill out and just listen to it. Geez.

[dreamscape03]

@cglawrence Slash is black lol

[TofikToficTofic]

@dreamscape03

slash is jewish

[TheTKDkidd]

@TofikToficTofic no he's not .. but steven is 

[daaskapital1]

@TofikToficTofic As can be seen with his obsession with money

[GosHUPandaren]

@TofikToficTofic negative. dont state stupid things, look it up first

[MrAYEJAYLOCO]

can somebody tell me whats wrong with slash?is he retarted. he is half black and half jew originally from london, england. and axl is singin dat racist shit right next to em. wow. fo real. im black myself and i used to really like g.n.r ,till i heard dis shit. what a waste of talent by, bigotry and ignorance. america was built by the blood, sweat, and tears, of slaves and immigrants. DIVERSITY is what makes america wonderful and unique,

[cultofpersonality123]

@MrAYEJAYLOCO it's not a song meant to offensive it's just about a kid or a person who is, at least that's how i look at it. im an immigrant in canada.

[MrAYEJAYLOCO]

@cultofpersonality123 fuck em man. no wonder the geto boys was dissing them in the early 90's. i never knew why, but now i know. then axl would be trying to sport n.w.a. and public enemy hats. i guess he was trying to make it seem like he was down back in the 90's. i used to like that clown's music too. not any more though, after i heard this racist shit. fuck that!!. anybody who thinks the lyrics aren't racial and racist is hella foolish.

[cultofpersonality123]

@MrAYEJAYLOCO I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

[jculpa]

@MrAYEJAYLOCO Look. Axl was NOT talking about your whole dam race, he was talking about the low lifes that sell drugs and alcohol on the streets and what not. Quit your drama, man. You guys are always thinking people hate you. Stop being an attention whore.

[MrAYEJAYLOCO]

@jculpa WHAT? attention whore? you got me fucked up, bitch boy. im just talking about reality. of course theres blacks dat sell drugs and are lowlifes. there called BAD PEOPLE, not niggers!! a man should be judged by his character and not by the color of his skin. and thats straight from M.L.K.

[FreddieWAR]

@MrAYEJAYLOCO Whiny bitch, im pretty sure Axl was talking about you, you overly sensitive sissy. Im guessing you dont listen to rap either because they say nigger also. Axl was just saying what most every white man in america thinks, we dont like black men. Black women on the other hand we enjoy. Who doesnt enjoy a game of master in the house slave.

[caponi14]

that solo sucked, i love you anyway slash

[trabantosh]

WHASSUP STEVEN?! :)

[GNRforever18]

fucking faggots XD

[TheRalphus666]

Axl rose is such an asshole but everybody knows that.I know he was a shut-in who did smack all day long but look at Johnny Thunders he did more smack and still came out and played(RIP) and richards too.

[JohnnyPieBucket]

@TheRalphus666 Axl tried heroin breifly, but he stopped it. Axl and Duff were the only ones in the band who didn't do heroin. Axl rarely even did coke, and rarely drank. But he was "always stoned" in slashes words.

[TheRalphus666]

@JohnnyPieBucket I always heard he was a junkie.But I dont know and really dont care it took him 10 years to come out with a pretty shitty CD and he is fat as hell im guessin from methadone but I can be wrong

[bubs7569]

how big was cbgb?

[TheRalphus666]

@bubs7569 It wasnt that big pretty much a sweat box

[HekE1996]

@akkebajen have u read slash`s biograph? he sais it became guns n roses when tracii and rob joined ssteve darrow left and duff joined and the rob andd tracii left and slash and steven joined

[HekE1996]

actually the name become guns n roses afther tracii joined the band cos hes name is tracii guns. so its tracii GUNS and axl ROSE

[akkebajen]

@HekE1996 There were two bands. L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose. Then when Slash and the other guys joined they became Guns N` Roses.

[iPwnRocknroll]

@HekE1996 no, some members from hollywood ROSE did went together with some guys from the la. GUNS i don't remember who who came from what band..

[WhatsAscope]

when slash solos you could see steven with tention because steven use to play guitar and he gave it up and got kicked out of the band,at least he loves drumming

[DavidNegrete18]

Police and niggers

That's right

Get out of my way

[MrDuwiwanto]

I love U G n R

[Gunsnrosez1987]

Steve Adler looks kinda zoned out in this video.

[lugiomay]

They where fuckin gone!! Axl and slash are drinkin something like jack daniel's, and the result is the craziest perfomance of '87 xDD They are too much funny in this live! Anyway, in my opinion this song is very good from the music, the lyrics are a bit ambiguos, but i don't think axl is a racist

[MarkinhusBony]

Good times =]

[peacelovers15]

I LOVE this song bu Guns!! Their my favorite band ever!!!\

[breno105]

2:54 axl forgot the lyrics =/

[Sanettea]

One of their most underrated songs...

[sio42]

its music. its guns n roses music.  of corase they should play it

[mexicanslash1]

awesome video! (Y) Guns N' Roses rock forever

[vigodagod]

Great video.. .the worst part is all the dumb fucking assholes in the crowd echoing the lyrics back to Axl. Way to ruin a cool performance you fucking tools.

[1000diesel]

I hate that crap. Just STFU and enjoy the set. That nonsense ruins so many shows.

Hey, wow, you're so fucking cool... you know ALL THE WORDS! I HATE that shit.

[meisonito]

4:16 steven adler face when slash was making a solo!!! jajajaja

[geordie00lad]

prefer sorum myself!,,use you illusion tour he was fcking great!..both great drummers thou!

[TheNordicOne]

DANG They're STONED! Big time!

[HeirOfTheDog]

I can't find no other life performance of One In A Million. Does a life record of the half-electric version exist?

[Slash687]

No, I don´t think so. I have also tried to find something like that.

[DjuricaMaksimovic95]

@HeirOfTheDog

there's just two times where they play this song live...

one is this and the second is in The Limelight NYC 1988

[BrunetteMille]

@HeirOfTheDog There is no other live versions of One In A Million, cause they only played it live this one time. Because of the statements about "immigrants and faggets" They never played it again. Read "Watch You Bleed" by Stephen Davis.

[oldgunsgoodguns]

@HeirOfTheDog NOPE ! this is the only live-recording EVER captured !

i have a bootleg cd called 'one in a million' were this tune is on... but after being a DIE HARD g'n'r-freak since the 'live like a suicide'- EP days i can assure you one thing: there is NO other live recording of this song ! bizarre,but with the words of metallica... SAD BUT TRUE ;-)

[114underground]

@HeirOfTheDog Search Limelight version

[PhoenixMacabre]

@HeirOfTheDog The demo version is acoustic

[AMDNQV]

@HeirOfTheDog He says that's the second time I've ever played that song at the end.. So I guess there must be one other recording at least.

[mattcisking]

th e dude on tamberine is slowin everytyhing it had a good grooove but it ggggot fucked by the tamberine dude

[mitchstryker]

Yo, Moron??? The dude with the tambourine is the original drummer, Steven Adler..

[Slash687]

Yeah! He rocks and he´s much better than Matt Sorum!

[thebert03]

Really? Adler fit the band for Appetite, but Sorum is one of the best hard rock drummers out there today. Also, Adler contributed nothing to the songwriting on Appetite or Lies. Very replaceable.

[lamecow21]

@thebert03 sorum didnt write lyrics either

[thebert03]

@lamecow21 Sorum was a hired gun (no pun intended) on UYI. You should check out his songwriting with Velvet Revolver. Adler is still out there playing Gn'R covers. Enough said.

[lamecow21]

@thebert03 i lsten to vr

[deathstarmygnr]

Just to clear it up the original drummer was not Adler it was Rob Garner. But that was during the Traci days.

[Slash687]

Rob Gardner* And Steven is the original Guns N' Roses drummer. When Tracii Guns and Rob Gardner was in the band, their name was Hollywood Rose. And then Slash, Steven and Duff came into the band after that Tracii left and Rob got kicked. Then they got Guns N' Roses.

[deathstarmygnr]

All right. I knew about Hollywood. Guess I had a brain fart or something.

[Slash687]

Brain fart? Haha!

[diablo9333]

@Slash687 No actually. Guns N Roses was Guns N Roses at the time Hollywood Rose was way before. They are two completely different bands lol. If you look on wikipedia everyone in old GNR was in it so it couldn't have been the same band lol. Even if you look at it it says Axl is a FORMER member which means that it could not have been a name change. Plus it also says years active followed by years before when they played then 2007-present.

[JohnBurninate]

@Slash687 No,traci was in the band when it was called guns n roses.hence the (Traci) Guns N' (Axl) Rose(s)

[Michaelslash09]

@Slash687

garner didnt get kicked out he left he couldnt handle it

[GIR6998]

@Slash687 Yeah! someone else knows :'D

im reading the book "watch you bleed: The GNR saga " ... its great

[analkladd]

@mitchstryker Yes, he played in Guns N Roses then ?

[drummerboy099]

this song is on one their CDs

[Slash687]

Yeah! It´s from "GNR Lies", released in 1988.

[06591]

this song is kick ass!

[Slash687]

Thank you!

[Slash687]

Thanx!

[mrescuba]

true, class song, especially on Lies!

[Slash687]

Yeah!

[mrescuba]

G n R in their prime, will it ever happen again!!!Chines Democracy....what!.....

[Slash687]

Yes, I have it. It´s not the same kind of music...

[walk3rrocks]

very under rated g n' r song.

[Slash687]

Ok?

[GunsNRoses687]

This is the second best song from the Lies!

[futurepredator]

which is your best?

[GunsNRoses687]

My favourite from the Lies is Patience. Overall it´s Sweet Child O' Mine!

[juan909s]

fuck i luv them!!!

[Slash687]

Thanks!
