Here Today... Gone To Hell!

i was just watching gnr performing at the 1988 mtv awards and jungle is heavy...which performance is the best?? any ideas?

2002 VMAs

Sacramento 93 Ive always like that one, you can really see how powerful his voice was

Arghh every time I think I can put that performance out of my memory for good someone brings it back, aha.

The 2006 version of Jungle is amazing to me though.  The intro is amazing and the crowd energy is great when you see it done live. 

Hammerstein Ballroom May 06 :smoking:

The Rock Am Ring '06 version is pretty cool. Axl's scream is killer. the '88 VMAs performance is also fantastic.

Rock Am Ring was a great version  : ok:

i always liked paris 92

The one they chose for Live Era is the best i ever heard..

Live performance in Middletown (Orange County Fairgrounds), New York, 1988.08.07.
Opening for Aerosmith

Best Jungle performance I seen yet..

even thought this may go to dead horse ill say vma's 88 and RAR 06

91 indiana

Damn man. That was electric!

Rock In Rio II, first night. By far.

The ''you're gonna die'' scream at Rock In Rio III is the most outstanding moment in GNR live history.

Hell yah bro.. Blows any other Jungle performance I have seen away..

Mint ending, but the beginning is severly lacking. Live Era or Paris are great intros. They should've combined them with yours on Live Era.

88 Ritz

I was there,is something i will never forget. : ok:

yeah that scream gives me chills every time i watch it. its amazing.  i forgot about that performance it was pretty good too.

The one they picked for Live Era by far.... I love that version even more than the original one! it's killer! I've always tried to find the show where they took it but I don't fuckin' know!  ???

Ritz intro followed by live era ?:drool:

jesus christ, now thats got to be the perfect combination of cocaine and jack daniels right there.  :hihi:  love the ad-libs.  "shanananananananamumumumumumuthafuckin knees!"

holy shit, that was good.

That's because it's not from "a show", the Live Era track was made from a bunch of shows edited together.

Rock in Rio 3 version is my favourite!  :yes:

It changes so often that it's hard to tell.. but I like many '93-versions, just because Axl's voice was so perfect.

I agree... 8)

A killer start. :P

Chicago '92 was really nice, I especially liked the intro.

There was an awesome clip of WTTJ on a Finnish GNR documentary I taped in the early 90s. I'd kill to see the whole song, let alone the whole show! It was one of the summer of '91 gigs in North America, pro shot. I guess it's one of those gigs Axl keeps hidden in his vault...

You got the whole documentary taped? Any chance to get it maybe? ;)

Well, it would be a good idea to rip it off the VHS, but unfortunately I don't have the equipment to do it. It's mainly a Duff interview done in August 1991 (I assume, because that's when they played in Finland), with videos and other clips thrown in the mix. It's been broadcast a few times, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone's already ripped it...

Well I haven't seen it anywhere :( Is it aired by YLE? If so, it could be found from their archive site.

Do you anyone who could rip it? Or maybe you could make me a copy of it ;)

Yeah, but like I said it was originally aired in '91, so I don't know if they have it over there.


I'll keep that in mind. Guess it would be "good for the community", since it's a somewhat rare (and fun!) interview.

Yep! And I'm always up for trades : ok:

Just to remember, Live Era has some parts of Axl's Voice in Studio.
I Think from the Solo to the end that's all studio voice.

Rockstop or whatever it was called?

I assumed the live footage was from one of the Helsinki shows.......


I saw this show years and years ago. A cousin had it taped back then.....


/jarmo

Oh man, now I really gotta have it :drool: Skeletor, check your PM's.

That was pretty awesome.  :yes: Thankfully, youtube didn't cut out in the middle of the video like it often does.

VMA's '88

argentina 1993

i dont know whether it was the may 12th or 14th peformance of jungle, but the energy of the song and the way it was sung was phenomenal. "I WANNA WATCH YOU MOTHER FUCKERS BLEEEED!"

Agreed on Middletown, NY... Axl had such intensity (I love "sha-na-na-na-na-mother fucking- mother fucking knees" at the end.  Classic.

Yeah, that's the one. I remember the interviewer was kind of out of it at times, like:
"Interviewer: So your solo album is kind of like Phil Collins? Duff: Yeah...um...well, no, it's actually nothing like Phil Collins [laughs]."

I think she once started interviewing Bryan Adams and right away called him by a totally different name: "No, my name's Bryan Adams..." "Oh god, sorry!" :hihi:


Phew, if it was, they must've been two helluva gigs! :) Here's to hoping some of the old pro-shot concerts get released one day...

I agree if you're talking about the first night, the 16th, not 17th.

Shame that the worst concert of the two was the one professionally filmed. 16th was ten times better than 17th.

The opening to most '06 shows must have been electric. Glasgow show was electric. Being in pitch black with with slow intro playing then out of no-one was Axl (do you know where the fuck you arrrrrrrrrrrrrrre?!!). Unreal, place went apeshit.

Was good in Dublin but didnt work as well cos it was in daylight.

Ritz 88 or Argentina 93 when he brings out the translator to speak to the crowd. :peace:

This one..nice little story/rant..Axl looking WAY good : ok: and the mistake in the intro :rofl:

I always found that funny , and how slash does his head so they can get it haha...

But middletown is the best I've ever seen , its exactly what GNR embodied

A couple of dudes who want nothing more then to play loud rock n roll around the world.

You're 100% Right!

That scream changed my life ... it's when i started being a huge gn'r fan ...

I'd have to say Rock am Ring 2006.  Axl's voice and scream in the beginning is unbelievable.

I think the best performance is still to come! : ok:

Indeed the 2006 version is just fuckin' amazing  :o
No better drug than that opening scream.  8)

The 1993 versions of Jungle, as a whole, are and always will be better than Jungle in any other year. Axl's voice and singing ability were at their peak as well as the bands ability to play it lights out. There are amazing highlights in all the other years but Jungle in 1993 was money. And I was a teenager through those years so I am not talking out of my ass here. The 2006 versions are much better than almost every single version from 1988 by the way.
