Here Today... Gone To Hell!

My cousin pointed out something for me the other day that I had never noticed.... On the electric version of Jumpin Jack Flash on the last verse Axl dedicates a line to every member of the band. It almost sounds like the real lyrics and it fits perfectly so I never really noticed lol. I actually never really listen to it anyway, I love the acoustic version sooo much more.. Pretty cool for me anyway to actually hear something new in a GnR tune at this stage of the game.. Anyway it goes something like this...? Anyone else never notice it or is it just me???

Slash was drowned, he was washed up and left for dead
Duff fell down to his feet and saw they bleed
Steven frowned at the crumbs and a crust of bread
Izzy was crowned with a spike right through his head

Thats pretty cool man, I didnt know that. Nice one

Just when I think I know every bit of useless GNR info., someone shows me a gem like this! That's great. :peace:

Throw up a link bro, let us all hear... ;D

I thought everyone knew this, even when Axl played this live he would point at the rest of the band as he names them while singing

thanks for the link, I got that version somewhere but couldn't find it.

However, only the first and last line of that verse is correct. He mentions Slash and Izzy but not Duff and Steven. I know live he did all 4, but listening through headphones he's singing something else in the middle 2 lines.

AHA!!!!!

I just got the 3 disc set "The Hell Revisited". There's a version of the song on it (there's 3, 1 acoustic and 2 electric) which I have heard before, but it was a long time ago and it's slower than the posted version.

It has the lines posted in the OP (sort of, lyrics aren't exact but thats the gist of it)

He could have said it at a different time in the song.

not in the version posted he didn't (that version's also on the 3 disc set I got)

the other version has those lyrics in it, there are 2 electric versions of the song. 1 has the lyrics posted in the first post, well something along those lines anyway mentioning every member. 2 only mentions Slash and Izzy

here is what i got from the lyrics from listening to it a few times, not 100% sure on em as it is difficult to hear some of the words Axl is saying. I am unsure about the steven part and the duff part


Slash was drowned, he was fucked up left for dead
Steven?s (down)??, at the sight of crust and bread
Duff looked around, there was nothing ????
Izzy was crowned, with a spike right through his brain

Slash was drowned, he was washed up, left for dead
Steven scowled, at the sight of a crust of bread
Duff looked around, there was no sign of a friend
Izzy was crowned with a spike right through his vein
