Guns N' Roses: “Sweet Child O' Mine” is the first music video from the 80s to surpass 1 billion views

Guns N' Roses has just broken an incredible record with its music video reaching one billion views on YouTube. "Sweet Child O' Mine," a classic from the album Appetite for Destruction , is the first video from the 80s to achieve this milestone.

Axl Rose , Slash, and Duff McKagan had already become the first group to have a music video from the 1990s surpass the same number of views with "November Rain." Now, the band breaks the record by holding the most-watched music videos on YouTube from both decades.

It's worth remembering that Guns N' Roses will be one of the headliners at Lollapalooza Brazil in 2020. See the other acts by clicking here.
