jimb0 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Wasn't it derived from wake up it's time to play from an old demo? I'm guessing band members were passed out. And when he came out with welcome to the jungle and they'd do it at a show, maybe he was trying to wake up Slash.It just sounds cool.

Allen8R Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Why did axl used to say this ? I was just re-watching Blade Runner and heard that line in it, did axl used it cuz of the movie ? Here is Axl telling the story people are talking about. It doesn't explain why he says "wake up" first, but at least explains the "you're gunna die" part.
