Song:Welcome To The Jungle
Album:Appetite For Destruction
Band:Guns 'N' Roses

"Welcome to the Jungle" was written by singer Axl Rose and Slash and it is considered to be the first song the band ever wrote together. According to Rose, the inspiration for the lyrics came from an encounter he and a friend had with a man while they were sleeping in a school yard in Queens. When they were approached by the "little black man", the man yelled, "You know where you are? You're in the jungle baby; you're gonna die!" This incident inspired the main lyrical declaration for the song.

Musically, Slash describes the development of the song in his autobiography. As the band was sitting around trying to come up with new material, Axl remembered a riff Slash had played while he was living in the basement of Slash's mother's house. Slash played it and the band quickly laid down the foundations for the song, as Slash kept on coming up with new guitar parts for it. According to Slash, the song was written in about three hours, and was arranged virtually the same way as on the album right there.
