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

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

The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:55 (eleven years ago) link

imho each original member of gnr should form their own gnr and tour the world playing horrible grotesque renditions, maybe they could have a festival

--bob marley (lag∞n), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:56 (eleven years ago) link

I was thinking the same thing about Jungle DJP -- bongos/lotsa percussion would be awesome

I was hoping for more of a Don't Cry, November Rain, slowjam kinda show or change up the old tunes with just a guitar or whatever.
bleh

but they had like, 4 guitarists on stage and it barely sounded like they had one

the saddest part (well okay one of the saddest parts) is how there's all those guitars and cowboy hats and not a single motherfucking one of them knows how to pick a lead on an acoustic guitar.

Force Boxman (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 22 October 2012 21:12 (eleven years ago) link

Well of course a benefit for cerebral palsy would be filmed by Shakey pictures.

pplains, Monday, 22 October 2012 21:14 (eleven years ago) link

thank you so much for making a joke like that before I could succumb to the temptation

Well of course a benefit for cerebral palsy would be filmed by Shakey pictures.

*pedant alert*

Neil Young has epilepsy. Which earned him the nickname "Shakey". "Bernard Shakey" is the fake name he has used when involved in filmmaking, and Shakey Films is the name of his production company. Neil's son has cerebral palsy, and that is why Neil set up the Bridge School Foundation.

the end

this DJ Ashba dude looks like a Ken doll of "Has-Been LA Metal Dude"

like I'm suspicious that he's not at least part robot

He looks like both Mick Mars and Mystery.

the whole world of LA studio musicians is so strange to me. How is this guy in such demand?

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 00:04 (eleven years ago) link

I basically feel the same way about Dave Navarro

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 00:04 (eleven years ago) link

sheesh how many more "rocker guy" signifiers could he possibly cram into his outfit??
ripped denim
black leather
bandanna
sunglasses
dumbass hat
wallet chain
t-shirt with skull

charlie h, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 03:00 (eleven years ago) link

kinda glad Tommy Stinson hasn't been completely Affliction'ed through all of this bullshit and is still a vaguely classy looking dude

...she says with complete bias, lol

I miss the buckethead/finck days where there was authentic weirdness instead of sad gimmicks

agreed

Gawker has newly preserved the clip and added some thoughts, but of course:

Well, "firing synapses"

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 15:48 (eleven years ago) link

i am so full of feelings about axl. the "karma's a bitch" thing isn't even schadenfreude for me, because i used to be a big fan, and i still like most of the old material. so i'm sad that he can't sing anymore and is still trotting out the hits with a bunch of session hacks. but there's no denying he's always been a shitty person. it took me a while to fully come to terms with that.

i'm always surprised at how clunky and stitched-together a song WTTJ is

goole, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 19:46 (eleven years ago) link

apparently it always surprises his current band, too

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 19:48 (eleven years ago) link

guys, i'm legitimately really sad! 12-year-old me thought he was so cute and rebellious!

Our 8th-grade English teacher asked us, who's the next James Dean, the live-fast, die-young icon that will serve as the tragic face of our generation?

And we all said AXL!

pplains, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 19:57 (eleven years ago) link

yeah get bent otm - I've had a hard, hard time letting go. It's only since Chinese Democracy that I've stopped expecting anything good from him. I was always so hopeful, you know?

at least pplains' class got the "tragic" part right.

its weird how he lost his ability to dance and sing, are we sure the real axl didnt die young

--bob marley (lag∞n), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 20:00 (eleven years ago) link

he must have pressed a button of some kind.
