'Welcome To The Jungle' Greatest Song about L.A.

[Smoking Guns]

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.

[FunkyMonkey]

The way I remember the story was that it was a comment from a NY cabbie.

[Mikkel]

"Malibu" is a Hole song, too... Not a Courtney Love song.

[fear the juggalo]

y would he go from indania to new york to l.a? i've never heard the new york thing. c'mon you guys got 50 cent. dont try 2 take axl!!! ( we got the game, so u can have 50 that snitch)

[Crowebar]

The greatest song ever written about L.A. is "L.A. Woman".

The fact that "Malibu" by Courtney Love is in the top 5 and "L.A. Woman" isn't should be hint number one that this list is going to be worthless.

No doubt.

I wonder why "L.A. Woman" didn't make the cut???
