Guns N Roses Biography

Guns N Roses Biography

Guns n roses were founded in 1986 By lead singer Axl rose after him and Izzy combined there band "L.A. Guns" with Slash And Duff's Band. They started of small playing at gigs looking for a big break, after there Agent sent there demo "Appetite for destruction" to a recording company. It was a ground breaking album and they got the break they were after. After blowing up and perfuming over all over the world tension grew in the band as they struggled to keep up with the controversial image they were portraying. The band split in 92 after the release of there double album "Use your Illusion" The main reason for there break up was due to the drama queen Esc of Axl Rose. He would turn up late to gigs or not at all and had a habit of just storming off stage when things didn't go his way. Slash and Izzy had had enough of this and eventually decided to split the band. Axl one by one replaced each band member to create what is now still Guns n Roses however not the original line up. Slash went on to do a solo career along with Duff splitting to form his own band. Izzy rode his bike after his rock n roll career and Matt Sorum now lives with family. Rumours are always going around about the band reuniting but after years of conflict and the band still firmly staying apart it probably won't happen within there life times.

Welcome to the jungle
We've got fun 'n' games
We got everything you want
Honey, we know the names
We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey
We got your disease

[CHORUS:]

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
knees, knees
I wanna watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle
We take it day by day
If you want it you're gonna bleed
But it's the price you pay
And you're a very sexy girl
That's very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get them for free
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
I, I wanna hear you scream

Welcome to the jungle
It gets worse here everyday
Ya learn ta live like an animal
In the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see
You'll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me

[CHORUS]

And when you're high you never
Ever want to come down, YEAH!

You know where you are
You're in the jungle baby
You're gonna die
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my serpentine
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
knees, knees
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
It' gonna bring you down-HA!

Task 12 &13 Barry Island Trip

This is the News Video we made at barry island. During this video we utilised skills we will need to implement in our music video. These consist of green screen use (which was used predominately throughout the video), editing techniques and camera work. We started by planning the video by writing a script and planning what we were going to edit.

We also learnt about story boarding when re-creating a short film shot for shot. By doing this it allowed us to experiment and get used to storyboarding for our music video. We also used camera work when re-creating this short film by using a tripod setup and lighting.
