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

official camp Axl explanation is strep throat

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

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 (eleven years ago) link
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

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

Still not convinced this isn't one of those "shreds" videos.
― pplains, Monday, 22 October 2012 20:50 (eleven years ago) link
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

you don't understand, "strep throat" is the name of my guitar
― rhino what boys like (Noodle Vague), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:51 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
the drummer is using those lil bunches of sticks sticks is how i knew it was real

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

also am I wrong or are the guitarists Perry Bamonte and Adam Duritz

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 (eleven years ago) link
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

the saddest part (well okay one of the saddest parts) is how there's all those guitars and cowboy hats and not a single motherfucking one of them knows how to pick a lead on an acoustic guitar.

Well of course a benefit for cerebral palsy would be filmed by Shakey pictures.

*pedant alert*
Neil Young has epilepsy. Which earned him the nickname "Shakey". "Bernard Shakey" is the fake name he has used when involved in filmmaking, and Shakey Films is the name of his production company. Neil's son has cerebral palsy, and that is why Neil set up the Bridge School Foundation.
