YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS TO BELIVE IT!

I think I paid $50.00 per ticket to see that back in '91 @ Alpine Valley, WI......
Wait that actually was GNR...... sounded 'bout the same though

Why would you post this on YouTube? I hope this was a joke

For the 1st and hopefully last time in my life I condone the use of Crystal Meth as an alternative to music.

haha, i assume you saw Axl and his band of trained monkeys, not the actual GNR?

MY EYES!!!! AAAGGH!1!one!!!eleventy!!

 

[davec]

no it was original line up, less Adler plus Sorum. Completely wasted and on the verge. I mainly remember the audience ripping up the sod and throwing at the stage! This got Axl's panties in a bunch so he left fo a while leaving the rest on the band to finish a song or two.
Anyway the guy's on youtube seen much more professional

Notice how the bass player doesn't play while he's singing, then when he does play, the notes have no relationship to the song?

And in a related story.......

The Pentagon announced today that it has reached an agreement with the Brazilian government to hire three young Brazilian musicians for the purpose of "softening up" detainees at the Guantanamo prison complex

A Pentagon spokesman, speaking anonymously due to the sensitivity of the matter, stated "after successfully using music from groups like Metallica and Guns & Roses for years, we found that these three kids are a far superior interrogation tool, a quantum leap beyond our previous Gold Standard mix consisting of a Lars Ulrich drum solo overdubbed with secret recordings of Axl Rose singing in the shower. The elimination of those pesky copyright issues with the Metallica material is also a major plus that provides significant cost savings for the taxpayer."

I new I should have studied music theory more. I'm afraid I'm just not up to the task of understanding the intricate complexity and modal changes of this performance.

I feel like a dog just peed on my leg

 

[Wasted Bassist]

Ah - so it's "art", not "Crap"?

Nope. It's not art or crap. It's "Artsy-crap"

 

[MasterBass!]

My heiny hurts!!

[ThreeBeanSalad]

Sounds like Bobcat Goldthwait singing...

Mm... everybody's got to start somewhere, but it's surely advisable not to post first attempts on the web. Cluelessness attracts ridicule, and that clip will never go away now. Still, it's interesting to see what elements of the model filter down to absolute beginner level.

I like the most recent comment - "It's like watching monkeys using sticks for the first time"

 

[ButtUglyJeff]

They are playing this song "ironically".....

They're just playing by ear while being deaf.....

 

[Matt2799]

It makes me feel so good about myself, and depressed at the same time.

What's actually mindblowing about this is how _independent_ they all are. I just can't play in a different tempo than the drummer like that. It's against my religion. Or my aural pain receptors or something.

On another note, I've covered this song (on guitar), and it's not a terribly hard song. Now, I can't cop the rippin' part of the guitar solo, mind you--Slash is a great player in that sense--but it's just D major to E minor. And a relatively slow tempo. This vid is like all the horror of a trainwreck but with no morbid satisfaction.

On a scale of 1 to 10, that sucked.
