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

My question is would a man known for his "appetite for destruction" as Axl actually be welcomed in a jungle himself ?

And if Axl wasnt even welcome in the jungle himself - what gives him the right to invite others ?

Is that McSweeney's thing supposed to, in some possible universe, be humorous?

― Sam J. (samjeff), Friday, 1 August 2003 18:16 (twenty years ago) link

Personally, I think both the jungle AND the Terrordome are just part of Alice Cooper's nightmare.

And what did he dream? It's alright -- we told him what to dream.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 2 August 2003 14:43 (twenty years ago) link

he dreamt of golf clubs and celebrity sport outings, most likely.

Were the jungle and the paradise city really flipsides to the same coin?

I THINK SO

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Friday, 18 March 2005 22:17 (nineteen years ago) link

It's an oxymoron, like CHINESE DEMOCRACY!

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Friday, 18 March 2005 22:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Also what kind of host welcomes you somewhere and THEN says "you know where you are?" ?

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Friday, 18 March 2005 22:22 (nineteen years ago) link

Wow, I always thought this thread had been started by Ally, not Jon. Respect!

Well...if you really wanna know,I wanna feel AXL's serpentine,
for me, AXL is really fuckin' great men! And "Welcome to the Jungle" is so bad, but great song. I think...I just know,that AXL is the best singer on this strange world. In my opinion, he's a angel of the rock, well... bay,bay.

PS. AXL is the best, I love him!

― Joanne, Thursday, 11 August 2005 12:12 (eighteen years ago) link

What the Hell?

As for being welcomed to the jungle, 23 Skidoo did it better on Seven Songs. And Pere Ubu did it better on "Heart of Darkness" (as did Mission of Burma in their cover of it).

― Ian Riese-Moraine: a casualty of social estrangement. (Eastern Mantra), Thursday, 11 August 2005 12:36 (eighteen years ago) link

when he says 'feel my serpentine', is he talking about his personal army of dicks?

that adjective in search of a noun to modify has always bugged the shit out me, but then again, "my serpentine John Thomas" would have taken all the bite out of the line

― Banana Nutrament (ghostface), Friday, 12 August 2005 20:00 (eighteen years ago) link

No no, it's "my serpent teen" -- his Mini-Me-esque cloned son.

According to m-w.com:

Main Entry: 2serpentine
Function: noun
: something that winds sinuously

Argh that 2 should be superscripted, but apparently that tag doesn't work here...

I always liked axl's swirley snake dance, and the way he said "maw u wawh" and "mi e ine".

Maybe he was welcoming a bunch of myopic roller-coaster addicts
into his haunted house of rebel-alcoholic dreamers.

Maybe he was welcoming grumpy old seniors to the
realm of sonic smashing... who can tell ?

I did, indeed, feel welcomed. (To the jungle). But, where, dare I ask, will we go now?

Compared to Alice's sincere welcome on the front cover of the record, Axl's seems like one coming from a guy they hire to yell out all the stuff they have for sale at a discount store.

Incidentally, if anybody wonders why Universal would have pumped as much money into Chinese Democracy as it did, consider the spam this thread got, which suggests that "Axl" and/or "welcome to the jungle" indicate, to a spambot, a fuckload of people who might answer its ad.
