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

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

agreed

even finck & bumblefoot together was fun

Gawker has newly preserved the clip and added some thoughts, but of course:

thank god

"thoughts"

Well, "firing synapses"

i am so full of feelings about axl. the "karma's a bitch" thing isn't even schadenfreude for me, because i used to be a big fan, and i still like most of the old material. so i'm sad that he can't sing anymore and is still trotting out the hits with a bunch of session hacks. but there's no denying he's always been a shitty person. it took me a while to fully come to terms with that.

i'm always surprised at how clunky and stitched-together a song WTTJ is

apparently it always surprises his current band, too

guys, i'm legitimately really sad! 12-year-old me thought he was so cute and rebellious!

Our 8th-grade English teacher asked us, who's the next James Dean, the live-fast, die-young icon that will serve as the tragic face of our generation?

And we all said AXL!

yeah get bent otm - I've had a hard, hard time letting go. It's only since Chinese Democracy that I've stopped expecting anything good from him. I was always so hopeful, you know?

at least pplains' class got the "tragic" part right.

its weird how he lost his ability to dance and sing, are we sure the real axl didnt die young

he must have pressed a button of some kind.

but there's no denying he's always been a shitty person. it took me a while to fully come to terms with that.

I am mystified that anyone would have ever had the impression he was NOT a shitty person. being a shitty person was his whole persona!

yeah but teenage fandom doesn't really allow for realities of 'shitty person' to filter in, or at least it didn't for me

I had no idea til I was older that Slash was wasted 100% of the time, that they were all junkies etc
