ChristianGNR Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I'm not sayin' he's a sad person, but Axl seems to be way happier onstage than last year.He's running a lot more, moving and dancing while the band is doing solos during the songs (instead of going backstage all the time), joking with the band members and smiling all the time. Axl looks like more confident too and you can see in every bandmember's face the satisfaction of playing live.Take a look at these clip of Orlando: Edited October 31, 2011 by ChrisMaciel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl looks like more confident too and you can see in every bandmember's face the satisfaction of playing live.Take a look at these clip of Orlando: Wow, I think we're gonna get some great bootlegs from the US shows. And what's up with Axl indeed, did he really kiss Tommy on the mouth? It was hilarious. And the story about his grandma was funny too. I think that was the best version of KOHD I've heard since the 90's, but where the hell did DJ climb in during that second solo? Don't Cry was amazing as well, I wish I could go to one of these shows.It's a bit farfetched ofcourse but maybe it's some sing that good things are about to go down. His great mood, the energy, the jokes, the interaction with the crowd. It looks like the US is giving them a chance, the crowds are great. They seem to appreciate everyone in the band judging by their screaming as soon as DJ, or Tommy or anybody steps forward during songs! And ofcourse the interview which we will be hearing soon, I'm getting more excited about that now I've seen these video's!

duff_rose Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Those were some amazing vids, thanks a lot for posting. Fuck. Axl Rose IS the greatest frontman around. That charisma is no where else to be found.And I agree, it does seem as if Axl is in a great mood now days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Well this US tour is really the "finish line" in this chapter. I'm sure they are all thrilled about it and want to move on to new GnR releases. Not to mention they are home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) I started a thread a while ago about "Axl's Happiness" and I was written off as a crazy person. I felt Axl was much happier in 06' than he was in 09-10', for the same reasons mentioned in the OP, and I couldn't quite get a whole lot of people to see what I was saying.Hopefully now, seeing this change in Axl's demeanor in 2011, people will start to realize that maybe he wasn't doing all that hot in 09-10', emotionally/psychologically, for whatever reason.Glad to see Axl back to normal...whatever that is. http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=178106&st=0 Edited November 1, 2011 by Yesterdays-Civil-War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwillleaveaxlalone Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The whole band seems like their having a great time. I'm happy to see this as a fan that's supported GNR through the good and the bad times.but you didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Lol! He actually did kiss Tommy! He seems to be in a much better place mentally than he was even back at the start of the tour, I think when things go according to plan he's able just to cruise and make the absolute most of the ride. The problem is he's quite sensitive to when things go wrong and can't shrug it off and deal with it later, it very much has to be dealt with "in the moment."

axlswife Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 well yeesss he is super cute! Singing great, great band , great scenario and great voice.

Kill Devil Hill Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Seeing as GN'R just played an epic three-hour set, I think it's safe to say Axl's in high spirits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young_Gun Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 In 2009/10 I always noticed a kind of sadness to Axl. I even made a thread about it comparing those shows to the 2006/07 shows where he was a ball of fire. He does seem to really enjoy the tour right now.

Gun-Z Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yeah,he's definitely happy and also in a great mood! The chemistry in the band is amazing! Love this line-up! Axl is just the real deal.. Its good to see him smile and to know he's having a great time with the band and the audience.. He's not fake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Glow Inc. Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 He DOES look way happier.Especially since the last two dates. He is probably happy that he's finally touring the states again and that it's going great so far And yes, he seems to really like DJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stro Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I think it is more than DJ. He interacts with all the guys a lot. But he seemed in pretty high spirits last year outside of the "the last year was the worst in my life" at the start. He was dancing around, smiling, playing around with DJ and Ron, saying random shit with Tommy. I think he was in a pretty good mood last year, too.
