With only 37 days to go until Moo shu and Dr. Pepper Day, I thought it would be fitting to have a clip countdown reminiscing on some of my favorite moments, as well as to provide an education to those young'ns not yet enlightened by the power of our leader, the man who will free China from communism.
#37 - Something Tastes Weird Yo
Back in 1988, Guns N' Roses were opening for Iron Maiden when they decided that they didn't want to anymore because that Eddie guy was creeping them out. To piss off Bruce Dickinson and company, they wrote a cute little rap song called "It Tastes Good, Don't It?" and performed it during their shows, hoping the explicit lyrics would get them thrown off the tour. Unfortunately for our heroes, Iron Maiden like to sing about the devil, so it didn't work so well. (Ironically, Axl's own throat problems forced them to cancel the rest of their shows with Iron Maiden.)
Not one to let a catchy ode to protein shakes go running off into the hills forever, our leader resurrected the song a few years later on the Use Your Illusion Tour as an interlude in Rocket Queen (a.k.a. The Greatest Song of All Time). Watch here as Axl earns his gangsta rap cred with his flow, NWA cap, and some kickass choreography. Damn, I miss those tighty-whities.
This has been a Great Moment in Axl history.
HUUUHH!!
