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

it's pretty telling that Axl was obsessed with replacing all the parts from past bandmembers except the Buckethead stuff which he couldn't bear to abandon.

that is incredible, thank you for sharing that

beautifully looped.

GIMME SOME REGGAE!

Seen worse versions of "Pressure Drop."

haha you're aware of the "Pressure Drop" cover on Izzy's first solo album right?

Ha, I have that album and totally forgot!

Fascinatingly, this appears to be an adaptation of a real event, when Axl demanded reggae in the midst of "Knocking On Heaven's Door" at the Freddy Mercury Tribute:

I like the looped, loopy version better.

oh yeah Axl said that regularly in "Knockin'" performances on the UYI tour, it's a well known thing. when the track was a radio hit MTV played the Freddie Mercury performance a lot as a standalone video.

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
