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

There's a far more pressing question on my mind: "What's so civil about war, anyway?" Chew on that!

― Ben Boyer, Tuesday, 29 July 2003 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I always thought of "the jungle" as just being existence.

We're all born into Hell and Axl is doing us the favor of pointing this out and letting us know we're not alone.

It was not dissimilar to the welcome that Chuck D gave to the terrordome.

Wouldn't this be a great idea for the future of the Millenium Dome?

― Gatinha (rwillmsen), Wednesday, 30 July 2003 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

But have you ever considered that Axl sublet the property from Chuck D? Thats right...the Jungle is IN the Terrordome.

To think that 25 years ago little Tommy Stinson was beaten senselees by older brother Bob and forced to be in a punk band. Now he is sharing a stage with Buckethead and the worlds greatest Elvis impersonator, while Bob lies in a cold, lonely grave. Brotherly love indeed.

My question is would a man known for his "appetite for destruction" as Axl actually be welcomed in a jungle himself ?

And if Axl wasnt even welcome in the jungle himself - what gives him the right to invite others ?

Is that McSweeney's thing supposed to, in some possible universe, be humorous?

― Sam J. (samjeff), Friday, 1 August 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

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

And what did he dream? It's alright -- we told him what to dream.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 2 August 2003 14:43 (twenty-two years ago)

he dreamt of golf clubs and celebrity sport outings, most likely.

Were the jungle and the paradise city really flipsides to the same coin?

I THINK SO

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Friday, 18 March 2005 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

It's an oxymoron, like CHINESE DEMOCRACY!

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Friday, 18 March 2005 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Also what kind of host welcomes you somewhere and THEN says "you know where you are?" ?

― VIC MACKEY (nordicskilla), Friday, 18 March 2005 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow, I always thought this thread had been started by Ally, not Jon. Respect!

Well...if you really wanna know,I wanna feel AXL's serpentine,
for me, AXL is really fuckin' great men! And "Welcome to the Jungle" is so bad, but great song. I think...I just know,that AXL is the best singer on this strange world. In my opinion, he's a angel of the rock, well... bay,bay.

PS. AXL is the best, I love him!

― Joanne, Thursday, 11 August 2005 12:12 (twenty years ago)

What the Hell?

As for being welcomed to the jungle, 23 Skidoo did it better on Seven Songs. And Pere Ubu did it better on "Heart of Darkness" (as did Mission of Burma in their cover of it).

― Ian Riese-Moraine: a casualty of social estrangement. (Eastern Mantra), Thursday, 11 August 2005 12:36 (twenty years ago)

when he says 'feel my serpentine', is he talking about his personal army of dicks?

that adjective in search of a noun to modify has always bugged the shit out me, but then again, "my serpentine John Thomas" would have taken all the bite out of the line

― Banana Nutrament (ghostface), Friday, 12 August 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

No no, it's "my serpent teen" -- his Mini-Me-esque cloned son.

According to m-w.com:

Main Entry: 2serpentine
Function: noun
: something that winds sinuously

― OleM (OleM), Saturday, 13 August 2005 05:03 (twenty years ago)

Argh that 2 should be superscripted, but apparently that tag doesn't work here...

i love where gareth calls them the american smiths!

I always liked axl's swirley snake dance, and the way he said "maw u wawh" and "mi e ine".

Maybe he was welcoming a bunch of myopic roller-coaster addicts
into his haunted house of rebel-alcoholic dreamers.

Maybe he was welcoming grumpy old seniors to the
realm of sonic smashing... who can tell ?

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

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.
