“There are enough variations on the Jungle Bird,” says The Rockwell Place’s Alex Kveton. Like The Spaghetti Incident? album of covers by Kveton’s favorite band, Guns N’ Roses, this riff felt a little unnecessary, but still enjoyable. “This Jungle Bird doesn’t need to happen, but at least it’s going to go down much easier than the album.”
