Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Being a first-year university student, I tend to get into a lot of wacky drunken misadventures.  But a couple weeks ago, I got myself in a situation that bears retelling for a Guns N' Roses message board.  It's like this.

I have a tendency of doing Axl's snake dance whenever I get drunk.  Indeed, ever since the first time I did this (to "Sweet Child O' Mine" while clad in an 80s hair rocker costume) the people on my floor are always urging me to do it whenever we go and party.  This one night, I went to a kegger where the theme was "The Jungle".  Now, I didn't have enough time to get together a real costume, so I just took a bandana.  That way, whenever people asked me, "where's your costume?", I could whip out the bandana, put it on, and screech, "YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE, BABY?!  YOU'RE IN THE JUNGLE!  YOU'RE GONNA DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"  It seemed popular.

After having consumed several drinks, it then got to the point where Guns N' Roses came on the stereo.  As soon as I heard the opening chords to "Welcome to the Jungle", I put on the bandana and not only did the snake dance, but also screamed along with all the lyrics in my best Axl Rose squawk.  After that, I did the same thing to "Sweet Child O' Mine", in which I also did the most spastic air guitar solo you've ever seen.  Somewhere in the course of this, I lost my shirt and then somebody took my pants off for some reason.  Anyway, I finished off with a rousing rendition of "November Rain", using a computer keyboard as my grand piano.

It was only after finishing this crowd-pleasing performance that I looked up to discover that somebody had been filming me the whole time.

 :o

So the point of this story is: if sometime in the next while, you hear of a "Star Wars Kid"-type video clip circulating on the internet where some drunken college student does the most insane Axl Rose impression you've ever seen...you know where it came from.

Thats pretty damn funny man.

As an easily influenced teenager being a guns fan I got into all sorts of trouble subconciously imitating Axl.  Getting into fights saying things like ' shutup or I'll put you on the pavement' then going oh shit when they started throwing punches, or walking into a room full of cute young girls whilst wearing tight red shorts...the room going quiet until my brother goes 'hey nice package Dave'....followed by howls of nervous teenage female giggling.

I too used to do the snake dance when drunk. Didnt go down too well at the Goth/Industrial club I used to frequent....but then neither did the candyman suit I wore sometimers just to ruffle feathers.  'Oh my god he's not wearing black'....snobs with no sense of humor....and all of them hated GNR.

good story!

of course, im a big fan of the whole snake dance myself when im drunk!! its hard enough on the legs if you try to keep it goin 4 the whole song!!

Awesome, good work!  You gotta get ahold of the video and post it for us!  : ok:

 :nervous:  I'm with ya!

Ha, it is destined to be as popular as Pammy and Tommy! :nervous:

lol Funny story makes me the remember the time I did karaoke in some random shop which had some Guns on it made a fool my self doing an Axl but hey I dont care it was awesome set list.

i wrote a 10 page essay for school on Bush and the environment..

It was full of GNR related quotes.  ;D Then I understood I have a serious problem.  :nervous:

I absolutely loved that story Mattman, I hope that's real!  I'm 30 years old now, and I can still remember those days like it was yesterday.   :'(

hehe thanks for the giggle Matt, I'm proud of ya : ok: hope we get to see the video....I myself have been guilty of drunken Karaoke ::) , my specialty Welcome To The Jungle....all those poor people held prisoner to my squalling....

funny shit man.you get an : ok:

I don't have the footage of me in the bandana, although I know that video file is circulating somewhere.  However, I do have a clip of me doing the snake dance to "Sweet Child O' Mine" at another party.  In this other clip, I'm wearing a ripped t-shirt, spandex pants, aviator sunglasses and a giant Nikki Sixx wig, which only helps serve the mood.  Unfortunately, I don't know how to upload video files.

Oh man, I wrote a religion test last week and opened it with a Guns n' Roses quote, and made my thesis based on it. Didn't get a bad mark either.

That was hilarious. I used to have a pair of leggings like Stevie Adler when I was young, and cowboy boots with sprus. Shit I pratically thought I was a member of GN'R!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ESPECIALLY THE pc KEYBORD AS A GRAND PIANO

Ha, I've done it too..

this is awesome!!! hahaah thanks for sharing. you've got to get the video clips to someone who can host them online!!!

Is that YOU in the "Big Party" movie ???  ;D

OK, now I know I have a serious problem... I'm a girl right, and half the time I dress like Axl (and when I say dress like Axl... I had someone come up to me a couple of weeks ago asking if I was Axl's daughter...), the other half, I dress like a Gn'R groupie, and my ambition is to be the world's most Gn'R obsessed pornstar...
Do I have a problem, or is it natural for nymphomaniac Gn'R fangirls to act like this?
Please help...
BTW, Mattman, I wish I'd been there when you did all that! I can't wait to find that video! I gotta see you playing the PC Piano! And I wanna see the Nikki Sixx wig!! :D

Well its actually funny, but... Dont you have anythingelse to do?

i hAve a funny guns n roses story too. i was wa tching sweet child o  mine way back in the eighties wehn guns n roses was first getting big and i began to do the snake dance and a few swings of my hips i felt this sharp shooting pain  radiate f rom my groin area so i ended up on the floor rolling about in pain and to be honest i think that was more popular than my \crappy attempt at the snake dance.

oh so that's the origin of 'break dancing'  ;D

haha thats some funny stuff.  ;D i only do the snake dance when im alone. it's a lot harder than it looks.
