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

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

four months pass...

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!

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).

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

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 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?

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

-- Nate Patrin (natepatrin550...), August 2nd, 2003 1:43 AM.

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.

Incidentally, if anybody wonders why Universal would have pumped as much money into Chinese Democracy as it did, consider the spam this thread got, which suggests that "Axl" and/or "welcome to the jungle" indicate, to a spambot, a fuckload of people who might answer its ad.

official camp Axl explanation is strep throat

― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 22 October 2012 20:40 (thirteen years ago)

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

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 22 October 2012 20:43 (thirteen years ago)

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 (thirteen years ago)

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

― The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:47 (thirteen years ago)

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