It's full of protein, isn't it? That's why I heard Boy George named his record label 'More Protein', anyway!

"We set up all the drums and I said, ‘This is the Guns N Roses album, we need a vibe’ and there was a temple upstairs that people used to do their speeches in. We went up there and it was a mini auditorium. As soon as I put drums up there and hit them I said, ‘Oh s***, this is the vibe’. They ran cords up there and eventually (then Guns guitarist) Bucket(head) set his chicken coop up there and that’s where he recorded. Bucket and I would look at each other and he’d been in the chicken coop with the wire and he brought in hay. We were up there for three years recording."

holy shit @ that twirling drums thing

We did the first show at Rock in Rio. We rehearsed for probably two or three months without Axl. Our first show’s Rock in Rio and I thought, ‘Wait, what’s it going to sound like with Axl? Where is Axl? Oh here’s his helicopter coming in.’
― extremely loud and incredible hulk (some dude), Saturday, 27 October 2012 23:43 (thirteen years ago)
Axl's whole 'play this note for note exactly how it sounds on the recording' is v weird - iirc in that ClassicRockMagazine piece there's like 3 or 4 times where he did that?
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 27 October 2012 23:44 (thirteen years ago)
it's pretty telling that Axl was obsessed with replacing all the parts from past bandmembers except the Buckethead stuff which he couldn't bear to abandon.

haha you're aware of the "Pressure Drop" cover on Izzy's first solo album right?
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 04:53 (thirteen years ago)
Ha, I have that album and totally forgot!

Fascinatingly, this appears to be an adaptation of a real event, when Axl demanded reggae in the midst of "Knocking On Heaven's Door" at the Freddy Mercury Tribute:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2mzMlHmxYo
I like the looped, loopy version better.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 13:20 (thirteen years ago)
oh yeah Axl said that regularly in "Knockin'" performances on the UYI tour, it's a well known thing. when the track was a radio hit MTV played the Freddie Mercury performance a lot as a standalone video.
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 13:45 (thirteen years ago)
So is that looped clip excerpted from a real show? No, right? It's a funny hybrid? Because that doesn't sound like any version of GNR doing the music. Sounds like Axl's demand, then synched to a goofy dance and different music. Though it would be hilarious if that was a straight-up legit clip.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 14:43 (thirteen years ago)
yeah it's a straight loop of the actual audio from about 5 minutes into this performance:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj0GGjlyHfg
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 15:01 (thirteen years ago)
that's really the brilliance of it, that they chopped up GNR's goofy cod reggae in a way that actually sounds dope. i listened to it several times last night and this morning.
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 15:04 (thirteen years ago)
Oh, we had it looping the kitchen. My five year old was walking around screeching "gimme some reggae!"
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 15:06 (thirteen years ago)
Except it sounded like "gimme Enrique!"
looooooooool awesome
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 15:07 (thirteen years ago)
Did you really feel axl rose wanted to be "given" some reggae, or do you think that was sort of just insincere, halfhearted request?
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 15:51 (thirteen years ago)
two minutes feels like a tease
― i know your nuts hurt! who's laughing? (contenderizer), Wednesday, 19 December 2012 16:02 (thirteen years ago)
yeah it'd be nice if it was 10 minutes or an hour or something but it's probably for the best that i have to actually think about how long i want to get stuck in a GNR reggae timewarp every couple minutes
― some dude, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 16:03 (thirteen years ago)
My wife heard me playing this last night and called out from the other room, "Is he yelling "Give me some Ray J?""
I have to admit that ruined it a little for me.
