Is there a more often mangled riff than the delay intro to "Welcome to the Jungle"?

[Angry Grimace]

Just try and search Youtube for someone that's not Slash playing it right...even then, you'll find lots of examples of Slash playing it wrong (the man did do a lot of heroin).

 

Even if you don't have a delay pedal, you can sort of fake your way through it, but for some reason, most people can't seem to get a feel for playing the delayed B flat at all. Still one of the most fun songs to jam to though; killer song.

I never look bad playing that part because I never play it.

So, what's up with you today? You seem, i don't know...angry.

I like that riff. People just don't ever seem to get the timing right. But it's odd, cause I never found it overly difficult to fake without a delay.

queue video of slash {censored}ing it up horribly because he's toasted

Yeah...you're right. Back in the day I prided myself on playing {censored} note for note when I was in cover bands...and honestly I never came anywhere close on the intro. On the other hand, I could have given a {censored} about that song anyway. I didn't own a delay back then so I had to play it fingerpicked using the open B string I think (I don't remember...is the opening in B? E?). But yeah...I've seen a lot of cover bands and never once have seen anyone play that intro even remotely close.

 

I've seen GNR twice...they're {censored}ing horrible anyway.

I just learned it for the band. Didn't have a problem.

I can't fake it without the delay. I can do it right with one, though.

You're horrible. GnR was awesome.

Seriously though, I was watching a really high quality bootleg the other day that was fantastic. Everybody was on point and even Axel sounded good.

On another note, apparantly my new chick bass player used to date Dizzy Reed.

Dude, you can hardly find anybody playing anything right, or good. Take this guy for example:

[Kang Diamond]

I like that riff.

 

 

you like GNR!!!!

 

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

points and laughs !!!

[Harvest]

The answer to your question is most certainly yes. Enter Sandman and any Metallica actually, Stairway to Heaven, Smells like teen spirit (not that the original was particularly good). Probably Crazy Train, Iron Man, and a lot of Bon Jovi tunes too.

[Mark3Tone]

 

 

Aside from the horrid processed tone and the fact that he was playing it really stiff he did get all the notes right, you could have picked a much worse youtube example lol...

[dr_love6977]

Ummm... I can play it right... note for note....

 

It's not that hard...

[cap'n'crunch]

I would'nt worry about stuff like that too much. You don't wanna sound like an old grumpy man who's "harddrive" {censored} the bed.:poke:

I mangle "message in a bottle" when I try to play it left handed.

It's not welcome to the jungle...but just to prove that I'm not a bassist.

I play it without delay, I'm convinced the official tabs out there (from the 80's) are wrong. There's a note played in that intro that isn't in the "official" tabs. I personally think the guy who transcribed it screwed it up.
