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

-- Nate Patrin (natepatrin550...), July 27th, 2003.

Oh Jesus, that just blows my mind. I need to sit down.

yes, he probably would have.

Was it a rhetorical question? How does one feel an adjective?

I didn't think it was very Jon Williamsesque, but hey, never mind - he took the baby and ran with it.

Perhaps restructuring initiatives were already being envisioned by Axl, who also foresaw that workplace familiarisation procedures, not to mention a robust and transparent professional development structure, would be required for motherfuckers newly recruited to the ring. Details of the pros ("fun and games") are qualified by an honest assessment of the cons ("it gets worse here every day").

Presumably by now the induction programme has been expanded to include line management flowcharts (probably quite straightforward ones) and bullet-pointed aims and objectives designed to facilitate appraisal at the six-month and two-year marks, not to mention the criteria according to which one’s ass might become fired.

That was a better full throttle funk song than the Red Hot Chili Peppers ever managed to try, for a start.

Ummm. Wrong. Please do not read this as a zealous endorsement of the Red Hots, but prior to their tireless days of heroin-addled introspection, the RHCP had quite the knack for the "full throttled funk." I'd cite "Good Time Boys", "Mommy Where's Daddy," "Special Secret Song Inside" and "Subway To Venus" have megatons more groove than the hirsute brothers of firearms and flowers.

It is also with great, rueful agita that I report that the Joke are slated to OPEN for the Red Hot Chili Peppers sometime in August in Europe. O the humanity.

Chuck Eddy to thread! Steven Adler, secret weapon.

Oh that's right. He's a secret weapon.

i ripped this off from someone else ripping it off

I thought it was a good ILX type question.

Those prickly pears sure are tasty!

You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get them for free

Torches can be rented from Cheetah's Gift Shop if you're going out at night.

I'm sorry.

[sound of Butthead chortle]

We're all born into Hell and Axl is doing us the favor of pointing this out and letting us know we're not alone.

Wouldn't this be a great idea for the future of the Millenium Dome?

So is that looped clip excerpted from a real show? No, right? It's a funny hybrid? Because that doesn't sound like any version of GNR doing the music. Sounds like Axl's demand, then synched to a goofy dance and different music. Though it would be hilarious if that was a straight-up legit clip.

yeah it's a straight loop of the actual audio from about 5 minutes into this performance:

that's really the brilliance of it, that they chopped up GNR's goofy cod reggae in a way that actually sounds dope. i listened to it several times last night and this morning.

Oh, we had it looping the kitchen. My five year old was walking around screeching "gimme some reggae!"

Except it sounded like "gimme Enrique!"

looooooooool awesome

Did you really feel axl rose wanted to be "given" some reggae, or do you think that was sort of just insincere, halfhearted request?

two minutes feels like a tease

yeah it'd be nice if it was 10 minutes or an hour or something but it's probably for the best that i have to actually think about how long i want to get stuck in a GNR reggae timewarp every couple minutes

My wife heard me playing this last night and called out from the other room, "Is he yelling "Give me some Ray J?""

I have to admit that ruined it a little for me.

otoh GIMME SOME REGGAE!

lol for the love of reggae

Wow, this is like a Sid-era Sex Pistols trainwreck:

Slash is operating at like 10% capacity less than everyone else.

And everyone else seems down by 30%.

I was at their first show after that riot. </coolstorybro>

"I was the one who started the riot" is like a small subset of this generation's "I was at Woodstock." I know no less than two people who profess to have been directly involved.

the St. Louis riot got us the sick proshot bootlegs of the Chicago and Indiana shows via an overturned TV truck

damn, I didn't even know that DJ Ashba and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal left. what is happening to this band?

Daren Ashba owns two corporations, Ashba Media, Inc. which handles the art side of things and Ashbaland, Inc. which handles the music side of things.

i'm kind of jealous of DJ Ashba, tbh

gimme some reggae
