Seen worse versions of "Pressure Drop."
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 04:52 (eleven years ago) link
haha you're aware of the "Pressure Drop" cover on Izzy's first solo album right?
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 04:53 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― 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.

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:

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.
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 15:04 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, we had it looping the kitchen. My five year old was walking around screeching "gimme some reggae!"
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 15:06 (eleven years ago) link
Except it sounded like "gimme Enrique!"
looooooooool awesome
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 15:07 (eleven years ago) link
Did you really feel axl rose wanted to be "given" some reggae, or do you think that was sort of just insincere, halfhearted request?
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 15:51 (eleven years ago) link
two minutes feels like a tease
― i know your nuts hurt! who's laughing? (contenderizer), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 16:02 (eleven years ago) link
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
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 16:03 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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

I was at their first show after that riot. </coolstorybro>
― pplains, Thursday, 20 December 2012 00:50 (eleven years ago) link
"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

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
