Did you really feel "welcomed" to the jungle by axl rose, or do you think that was sort of just insincere, halfhearted graciousness?

Maybe he was welcoming a bunch of myopic roller-coaster addicts
into his haunted house of rebel-alcoholic dreamers.

Maybe he was welcoming grumpy old seniors to the
realm of sonic smashing... who can tell ?

Compared to Alice's sincere welcome on the front cover of the record, Axl's seems like one coming from a guy they hire to yell out all the stuff they have for sale at a discount store.

It is insincere, halfhearted graciousness

I think Claire Zulkey was at the 2004 election-watching party I went to at Kenan's apartment.

spent most of that trying to figure out what band he was sitting in w/ before realizing 'o i guess that's guns n roses now'

Lord, that's not very far from being a St. Sanders video.

Wookiefoot perhaps?

Top 10 all-time thread title candidate here

hahahaha omg

that guitarist, DJ Ashba? is the weirdest looking dude

also lol at the random band member dancing around waving a flag the whole time

Hahah well Pitchfork just reblogged my post of this on Tumblr, it'll be everywhere soon enough.

everyone needs to know the hideousness & hilarity

official camp Axl explanation is strep throat

He should get that looked at, he's had it for about two years.

omg "better"....his tubby stage moves on all this stuff are amazing too

okay so did no one think that tuning the guitars would be a good idea before starting the song

also there is no fucking way Axl could make any sound remotely near the pitches he's hitting if he had strep, he would basically sound like a hoarse Andrew Eldritch

execution aside what style of music are they even trying to play this in, so fd up

Still not convinced this isn't one of those "shreds" videos.

Guns 'N Roses unplugged doing music that isn't their weepy ballads is a terrible idea anyway, about the only thing that would be worse is something like an acoustic Meat Beat Manifesto set

you don't understand, "strep throat" is the name of my guitar

xpost DJP otm -- he was, in whatever form, "singing", he just couldn't sustain certain high notes without ditching out ...which is not strep throat

they apparently recorded an acoustic version of Better, so they're really wedded to the idea that it somehow works as an acoustic song

the drummer is using those lil bunches of sticks sticks is how i knew it was real

although it's true that Andrew Eldritch singing "Welcome To The Jungle" over severely out of tune/out of rhythm guitars would be amazing and must happen immediately

I have also long thought that the main thing "Welcome To The Jungle" needed in order to really make it pop is bongos

ned, you bastard, i've already been having chest pain issues lately

also am I wrong or are the guitarists Perry Bamonte and Adam Duritz
