Welcome to the Jungle
Welcome to the Jungle features a more aggressive, higher-gain version of Slash's Les Paul through Marshall tone compared to Sweet Child O' Mine. The opening wah-filtered harmonics lead into a pummeling riff with thick distortion and tight low end. Slash used an Alesis Midiverb for the pitch-shifted intro effect.
