OK, now...Guns n'Roses in Eyota.

I was looking for information about a couple of guys that'd been arrested in Eyota on their way to a Guns n'Roses show in Las Vegas when I found something in the archives big enough to blow a hole in the space-time continuum!  I found an unreleased early pre-hit version of ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ recorded in Eyota, Minnesota!

Guns n'Roses was driving thru the area after a Chicago gig, stopped for the night, and worked on a few songs for Appetite for Destruction. They played around for a while, did a very short version of what would soon become 'Welcome to the Jungle' and went to bed. That was it and the next day they made it to Minot.

Want to hear the song? Just hit play.

Listen to James Rabe 6a to 10a on Y-105 FM
