Re: Wherever I May Roam....

I haven't seen the video for Welcome to the Jungle, believe it or not.  !  Or maybe I did, but I just don't remember it, I don't know. 

"Bums and Posies"........aw Audendove, why ya gotta be like that??   big_smile  j/k  Seriously, I'm not at all into the personal aspect of the band, and the more I hear of Axl the crazier he seems to be, but I do like the music.  I think great music is usually made by crazy people who are a little bit off their rocker.   Call it insane genius.   big_smile  Wonder why that is, on a serious note......hmmm.

As far as Jerry vs. Slash is concerned, I can't really say.  I know that Jerry was responsible for much of the sound that we attribute to AIC, and I didn't realize it until I heard some of his solo work from "Degradation Trip".   I was like, "HEY!  That sounds like AIC...but with a different singer!"  big_smile  There's no arguing that he's talented, but Slash has to play clean and "perfect" because it's the nature of the music he's playing.  Grunge rock could have the crunching edgy guitar sound, cause it was, well, grunge!

Sidenote:   Check out the movie "Singles", from 1992.  Silly movie.......but there's a scene of Alice in Chains playing a gig in a club in Seattle!  woohoo!  The movie was worth the $1.99 just for that!  Very cool!   Oh yes, and Eddie Vedder and the rest of Pearl Jam, and Chris Cornell from Soundgarden all have cameos too. smile

Probably because, in a nutshell wink --

1) They are above average in intelligence and creative insightfulness.

2) Their emotional centers have been blown wide open, likely through childhood difficulties (like abusive/neglectful parents or peer hostility). If their emotional center's have a lot of dark corridors, then that would be their influence.

And the combination of these two is the perfect recipe for Axl Roses and Kurt Cobains. And Jim Morrisons and Keith Moons. The list could go on. Aren't male rock stars known for being tempermental and chronic?

Re: Wherever I May Roam....

Actually, maybe this would have been better suited up in the debate that's currently taking place in "Announcements and Suggestions" ?   lol  Just get on there in the middle of it and post this big ol' pic!
