@@SebastianSmith-c5t The song is about LA and his first visit to Hollywood after leaving Indiana, but the thing the guy said to him was in NYC. The song was written in Seattle when it struck him how big LA is compared to Seattle and brought back the feeling of first going there in the early 80s. There's a lot of confusion over which city the song is talking about because of this but it is indeed talking about LA, particularly Hollywood.

The rhythm guitarist Izzy (also called Whizzy and jizzy due to unfortunate incidents Slash is still equally amused and salty about) actually was a heroin dealer. He dealt on a street level up to big bands such as Aerosmith or Mötley Crue. He was the one bringing in the most money that allowed them to try being musicians without completely starving. The remaining money came from bandmembers scamming woman, getting money from stripper girlfriends or working in a bakery. Their house was called the Hellhouse because it was a literal infested shithole in the wall. So yeah, the drug dealer perspective makes a lot of sense :D

When you said about metal being lyrically competent, you'll find that all music - especially this kind, is really symbolic. Far beyond most people's expectations. Behind the drugs alcohol and belligerency of most of these groups are some pure geniusness and some heartfelt shit. Like Kickstart My Heart, that was all about Motley's bassist Nikki Sixx and his crazy trip of dying three types to subsequent heroin ODs and revivals. This song's about Seattle and Axl's views and crazy experiences at the place, he wrote the song very poetically from that standpoint.

I love this reaction 🔥 Man I just went to see them live at the Hard Rock last week, they're in they're late 50's and 60's with the EXACT SAME energy here. That lead singer 🌹Axl🌹 got energy for days and straight tore the stage up. Witnessing Slash (afro & top hat) play guitar in person seemed too good to be true and so many people just start starting in awe like a deer in headlights. 🎸🎸🎸🎸

When he says "jungle" he refers to South Central Los Angeles, CA in the 80s. Watch the explanation or the meaning of that song in any other video here in KZbin. The best is when they explain where they got the part that says: "You know where you are?... You're in the Jungle, baby!" from. Guns n Roses are amazing! That's what real music sounds like. Check out their newest release "Hard Skool". Is the sh*t!

A few years back, the theme for the annual Girl Scout dance was “Welcome to the Jungle”, with actual jungle decorations. I’m still not sure if it was a tongue-in-cheek joke for the parents or an innocent oversight, but we were cracking up. Our troop banner said, “You know where you are? You’re in the jungle, baby!” 🤣🤣🤣

Rhonda Oh, I am one of the parents. The kids didn’t get the joke. 🤣 I’m not sure if the people who chose the theme did it intentionally or without realizing, but my co-leader & I loved it!

A rather grown up theme for Girl Scouts... (and I was a Girl Scout). I wouldn't recommend girls under 18 to listen to some of the heavier drug-related songs on the album. I was actually a teen when this album came out! It was heavy duty lyrics material for a girl from the Midwest! Plus I am a writer, so I pay very close attention to singers and lyrics! :)

Carrie Ann Luikens They didn’t play this song. It was just a jungle themed dance. I just didn’t know if that particular phrasing was a little inside joke for the parents or if they chose that without realizing it.

Yes, Axl is definitely crazy. Next question.
@CarrieLuikens3 жыл бұрын
It was his "craziness" that made the G-n-R music larger than life, thrilling and edgy. Yet most of the fans love Axl anyway...except maybe those he yelled at onstage or got into fights with.... (he wasn't the only hard rock musician who did that though)

The first time I saw them in concert I was 15, a bunch of older chicks I hungout with had an extra ticket. They dressed me in a black mini skirt, black sparkly stockings, teased my hair 5 inches high and piled on the makeup. Halfway through the concert a bouncer came up to me and asked if I wanted to meet the band backstage after the show. I was like sure. After the show I jetted out of there! My girlfriends like your crazy! I was petrified. My mother would have killed me if she knew I went. My friend from this day who I went with asked if I regretted that. Hell no lol not at that age. Who knows what would have happened if I gone back there! Especially after the stories I heard what they would get those girls to do. I might’ve been a dumb teen but I’m not stupid.
