From what I remember, AXL said at the RITZ show in 1988 that it is about NY. ?He said one day when he was hitchhiking up from INDIANA he and a friend (maybe IZZY) were dumped off along the side of a highway here in NYC, he thinks it was in the BRONX. ?It was then that "they came across a little, old black guy who said to them...Ya know where the fuck you are...you in the jungle. " ?AXL also said "that's a true story, that aint no lie."
Nope, about LA. Black guy on the turnpike or some shit. Came up to him and said "you know where you are", "you in the jungle". Talks about hitchiking with his friend out to LA.
