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.

"We set up all the drums and I said, ‘This is the Guns N Roses album, we need a vibe’ and there was a temple upstairs that people used to do their speeches in. We went up there and it was a mini auditorium. As soon as I put drums up there and hit them I said, ‘Oh s***, this is the vibe’. They ran cords up there and eventually (then Guns guitarist) Bucket(head) set his chicken coop up there and that’s where he recorded. Bucket and I would look at each other and he’d been in the chicken coop with the wire and he brought in hay. We were up there for three years recording."

We did the first show at Rock in Rio. We rehearsed for probably two or three months without Axl. Our first show’s Rock in Rio and I thought, ‘Wait, what’s it going to sound like with Axl? Where is Axl? Oh here’s his helicopter coming in.’
― extremely loud and incredible hulk (some dude), Saturday, 27 October 2012 23:43 (eleven years ago) link
Axl's whole 'play this note for note exactly how it sounds on the recording' is v weird - iirc in that ClassicRockMagazine piece there's like 3 or 4 times where he did that?
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 27 October 2012 23:44 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2mzMlHmxYo
I like the looped, loopy version better.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 13:20 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 13:45 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 14:43 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it's a straight loop of the actual audio from about 5 minutes into this performance:
