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

Top 10 all-time thread title candidate here

hahahaha omg

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.

everyone needs to know the hideousness & hilarity

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

dunno if I should be sad that I can't tell which one is Tommy Stinson

shakey noo

but they had like, 4 guitarists on stage and it barely sounded like they had one

oh Shakey no

hahaha this is still cached in my browser so I'm still listening to it

haha who/what is 'shakey pictures'?

oh duh it's neil young's film outfit

Shakey Mo Pictures.

Production company specialising in obituaries

but they had like, 4 guitarists on stage and it barely sounded like they had one

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.

thank you so much for making a joke like that before I could succumb to the temptation

hWah!

i like how theres at least one guy w/a long braided goatee up there

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.

the end

can we still blame you for this disappearing?

sure

this DJ Ashba dude looks like a Ken doll of "Has-Been LA Metal Dude"

like I'm suspicious that he's not at least part robot

He looks like both Mick Mars and Mystery.

no one will be surprised to know he was involved in Nikki Sixx's terrible Sixx AM bullshit

the whole world of LA studio musicians is so strange to me. How is this guy in such demand?

I basically feel the same way about Dave Navarro

sheesh how many more "rocker guy" signifiers could he possibly cram into his outfit??
ripped denim
black leather
bandanna
sunglasses
dumbass hat
wallet chain
t-shirt with skull

actually he's looking almost gg allin-ish here

oops didn't mean to post video twice. anyway that one works. for now

one of the dudes in the band has a total Ronnie Wood thing going on.

kinda glad Tommy Stinson hasn't been completely Affliction'ed through all of this bullshit and is still a vaguely classy looking dude

...she says with complete bias, lol

I miss the buckethead/finck days where there was authentic weirdness instead of sad gimmicks
