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

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

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

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.

"welcome" to the "jungle"

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.

It is insincere, halfhearted graciousness

I think Claire Zulkey was at the 2004 election-watching party I went to at Kenan's apartment.

spent most of that trying to figure out what band he was sitting in w/ before realizing 'o i guess that's guns n roses now'

Lord, that's not very far from being a St. Sanders video.

hahahaha omg

― ENBB, Monday, 22 October 2012 18:01 (thirteen years ago)

that guitarist, DJ Ashba? is the weirdest looking dude

also lol at the random band member dancing around waving a flag the whole time

Hahah well Pitchfork just reblogged my post of this on Tumblr, it'll be everywhere soon enough.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 22 October 2012 18:30 (thirteen years ago)

everyone needs to know the hideousness & hilarity

official camp Axl explanation is strep throat

― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 22 October 2012 20:40 (thirteen years ago)

He should get that looked at, he's had it for about two years.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 22 October 2012 20:43 (thirteen years ago)

omg "better"....his tubby stage moves on all this stuff are amazing too

― terrell sug (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:44 (thirteen years ago)

okay so did no one think that tuning the guitars would be a good idea before starting the song

also there is no fucking way Axl could make any sound remotely near the pitches he's hitting if he had strep, he would basically sound like a hoarse Andrew Eldritch

― The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:47 (thirteen years ago)

execution aside what style of music are they even trying to play this in, so fd up

― --bob marley (lag∞n), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:49 (thirteen years ago)

Still not convinced this isn't one of those "shreds" videos.

― pplains, Monday, 22 October 2012 20:50 (thirteen years ago)

Guns 'N Roses unplugged doing music that isn't their weepy ballads is a terrible idea anyway, about the only thing that would be worse is something like an acoustic Meat Beat Manifesto set

― The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:51 (thirteen years ago)

you don't understand, "strep throat" is the name of my guitar

― rhino what boys like (Noodle Vague), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:51 (thirteen years ago)

xpost DJP otm -- he was, in whatever form, "singing", he just couldn't sustain certain high notes without ditching out ...which is not strep throat

― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:51 (thirteen years ago)

they apparently recorded an acoustic version of Better, so they're really wedded to the idea that it somehow works as an acoustic song

― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 22 October 2012 20:52 (thirteen years ago)

the drummer is using those lil bunches of sticks sticks is how i knew it was real

― --bob marley (lag∞n), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:52 (thirteen years ago)

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

― The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:52 (thirteen years ago)

I have also long thought that the main thing "Welcome To The Jungle" needed in order to really make it pop is bongos

― The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:53 (thirteen years ago)

ned, you bastard, i've already been having chest pain issues lately

― charlie the luna (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:53 (thirteen years ago)

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 (thirteen years ago)

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 (thirteen years ago)

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

― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:57 (thirteen years ago)
