Popular Post spliff Posted April 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) I watched this live when I was like 12.. pretty sure it was my introduction to Axl/"GNR".. let's just say I didn't run straight to Kazaa to download their discography after this Edited April 30, 2016 by spliff 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercool Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 madagascar is a good song. but it wasn't a good idea to play it at the vma because it's too sad. axl's voice isn't good, too weak, but he looked great, better than now (too fat). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Theseeker123 Posted April 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2016 In my opinion the best version of madagascar! My fav song off Chinese, very underated. This performance gives it the credibility it deserves. Would love to hear this song with the reunited lineup! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post weaponsnflowers Posted April 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2016 I can't understand why Axl didn't prep for that performance in advance. He was out of breath and really struggles to make it through vocally. He must have noticed by the time of the rehearsals that "fuck I'm out of shape". Why he didn't check himself before that is a mystery. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngunner Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 One of the best moments of GnR. Axl was bad on PC but everything else was great, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KURT19 Posted April 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2016 I've never seen this before and now I kinda wish I could still say the same thing. My mother always told me if I don't have anything nice to say, then I shouldn't say anything at all. Tommy is wearing a cool coat. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxpax Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) back then i just thought: WTF?! Axl's hair, look, these freaks, his mickey voice, for a moment i even thought buckethead was slash with a mask, but then i was: NO WAY, this can not be slash... nevertheless it was a performance that got me interested in GnR...and i downloaded the don't cry video...bought the albums...bought the tokio dvds....became a fan. btw: could the guy who wanted to trade/sell the rehearsal video of this show finally release the video!? its worthless now...dude, you can't sell/trade it anymore. you waited too long. so if you're a fan upload it on youtube. thanks.

Axls5thMetatarsel Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hadn't seen that in awhile. A couple moments in there where Axl found the slight rasp but yeah mostly Mickey looked lk he truly couldn't hear himself could have been worse as we all now know ( bridge )Energy looked insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That scream on Jungle was beast, I fell in love with Madagascar, and the energy was incomparable. The 2002 band is so underrated even if Axl struggled through a lot of performances. MTV probably wasn't shooting in HD back in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitha_whiskey Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It was an absolute freak show for sure. Why did it look like everyone was expecting rain? Lol. I've never seen this one before. (I didn't surf the net much back then, and certainly didn't watch mtv at that time- I was 32 and working about 70 hrs a week). I didn't think it was as horrible as everyone has made it out to be all these years. I get how shocking it would have been to see Bucket & Robin. And Axl was way out of shape. But it wasn't terrible. I'd have paid to go see that... As a Raiders fan- I'd like to say: Axl! Bring back the Jerry Rice jersey!!! Or better yet, get a Tim Brown 81...

Popular Post -W.A.R- Posted April 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2016 i'm still trying to wrap my mind around what Axl was thinking with this group no disrespect to Buckethead or Finck as they are fantastic players but were not fits for GNR then you got Axl decked out in a 3x football jersey with dreads sounding like mickey mouse embarrassing to the highest degree 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
