Welcome to the meme jungle Axl Rose.

A less than flattering photo of the Guns N' Roses front man is being used for a series of mean memes, and now the singer is reportedly trying to get the image scrubbed from the internet.

The memes change the lyrics to Guns N Roses songs to poke fun at the picture of Rose, who is the band's front man. Lines like "Welcome to the Jungle, we got tons of cake" and "Sweet Pie o' mine" have regularly made the rounds on Twitter.

"I heard had been getting in shape for the upcoming tour.."

Well, I suppose "round," is a shape. FWIW, I love this cover of Sweet Child:

Rachel is not Mexican. Brazilian or Columbian or something but not Mexican.

Ann Margaret is Swedish, however.

It turns out that she is not half Irish and half Mexican as I had thought but half Bolivian and half English. I stand corrected.
