Released: June 7, 1986

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
I would howled at my ma in the pouring rain
But it's all right now, in fact, it’s a gas
I said it's a-a-a-llright
I'm Jumpin’ Jack Flash it's a gas, gas, gas

Ooh yeah
Cha-na-na-na-na honey
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I was down with a strap right across my back
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
I said it's alright
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash it's a gas, gas, gas

Ooh yeah
Cha-na-na-na-na honey
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I looked frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
I fell down and my feet and I saw they bled
It was crowned with a spike right through his head
But it’s all right now, in fact, it’s a gas
I said it's a-a-a-llright
I said, I’m Jumpin' Jack Flash it's a gas, gas, gas

Ooh yeah
Cha-na-na-na-na honey

Jumpin' Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumpin’ Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, its a gas

Jumpin' Jack Flash, its a gas
Jumpin' Jack Flash, you know its a gas
Jumpin' Jack, Jumpin' Jack
I need a Jumpin' Jack, come on and bring it back
Jumpin' Jack
That was for you momma

Guns N’ Roses

Guns N' Roses was the most dangerous band in the world in the late 80s and early 90s. Led by singer Axl Rose and stylish guitarist Slash, they mixed the passion of blues, the heaviness of rock, and the attitude of punk, bringing forth a breath of fresh air to a music scene dominated by cheesy hair metal bands.

Their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, is the best selling debut of all-time. They outsold a headlining Aerosmith on their first major tour, released two double albums (Use Your Illusion I & II) simultaneously, and soon would play to audiences in excesses of 20,000 people.

However, cracks started forming in the band, as classic era drummer Steven Adler was fired from the band before the “Use Your Illusion” releases and founding rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin left abruptly during the ensuing tour. They were replaced by Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke, respectively, with keyboardist Dizzy Reed joining the band and expanding the group’s sound.
