About this sound

✦ AI

A short, menacing vocal clip saying you're gonna die, linked to Guns N' Roses and used in memes and edits for dramatic threats, reveals and comedic warnings.

A harsh, urgent voice delivers the three-word warning in just under two seconds, with a sharp, rising emphasis that makes it feel like a threat rather than a joke. The delivery is direct and confrontational, leaving no room for doubt about the danger ahead, which is why it lands so hard in short videos. It cuts through background music instantly, grabs attention before a reveal, and makes the next moment feel riskier, funnier, or more dramatic. Listeners react immediately, expecting a fail, a jump scare, or a sudden twist to follow.

The clip is listed as connected to Guns N' Roses, and its short, shouted warning has made it easy to reuse far beyond any original track. Online creators lift brief vocal moments like this for memes, edits, and reaction videos, where a single threatening line can set the tone in seconds. It works because the message is instantly clear, even without context, and it pairs naturally with other darkly comic sounds such as Evil Laugh. That simplicity has kept it circulating in gaming clips, prank edits, and dramatic countdowns.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop the line right before the consequence, not during it, so the threat sets up the payoff. Let it play clean over a brief silence, then cut hard to the fail, scare, or reveal on the final word for maximum impact.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Warning a friend before an obvious gaming mistake.
  • Teasing a dramatic reveal in a short video.
  • Captioning a pet about to knock something over.
  • Ending a prank setup before the surprise hits.
