Great lyrics and one the best GNR's covers. The 'sound of a band breaking up' perhaps shouldn't be taken that seriously. I think we know why Slash said that, but when you think about it, if they weren't breaking up, continued normally and there wasn't any beef over the song (and we didn't know someone else's guitar was added), I'm positive we'd have quite a different approach to this song. It's not really a sound of a band breaking up, that's just the reality surrounding it that makes us see it with those eyes. It's awesome.

"Look at the clouds! Get that camera and take that!"

* Pulls out his phone. *

"I'll take it, goddamn it!"

That's not their call to do so in regards to having a festival. I'm sure that GNR would probably at some point visit Miami again. 

I didn't mean a festival, I simply meant adding another Miami date that would be in that area or directly there, if possible. It would be nice, is what I meant. And that T-shirt thing would be cool.

You talking festival management or GnR management?  Because GnR didn’t make the call the festival did. 

GNR. I know, but why couldn't they do it like this later?

I think you are incorrect about this. I had tickets for the Foo Fighters concert at Citi Field. Foo Fighters cancelled their tour due to the passing of Taylor Hawkins. I got refunded for the tickets that I paid. I think in situations like this where festival organizers took it upon themselves to cancel the show, there might be a refund.

Unsure what you mean by this. Festival organizers cancelled the show. Not GNR management. 

Yes, but the band can make it up to the locals, why couldn't they? 

If their management was cool, they would make up for this show with a different date, keep the T-shirts and stuff, only cross out the original date and write a new one under it. That would be funny. 

Well, this gives them two more weeks' time for any releases, right? Right?

That's what people were saying in 2016 when he was rumoured for the AC/DC gig and then he pulled it out of the bag!

I don't wanna be negative, but he was somewhere completely different vocal-wise in 2016. Well, let's hope for the best!

It's Axl, if you said in 2012 - 14 Axl would sing with ACDC with full rasp etc people would have said not a chance 

Yeah but I heard him a few weeks back...

How the hell could Axl handle BiB now?

There is no rumor, people are just speculating because NIN is also playing the festival but they are playing on Sunday and Guns are on Saturday. I doubt NIN will even be in Florida untill Sunday.

Oh, thanks. I was googling Robin like 'was he born there or something'? Ok, NIN.

What's this about Finck? Could someone brief me on that rumour or whatever?

I saw them twice in 2016. If what we're hoping for from Axl is his "2016 voice", then things aren't looking good.

Axl's 2016 GN'R voice was the best since 2010, and Axl's 2016 AC/DC voice was the best since the 90s. I could only wish he'd get back to the 2016 version now. 

So err... not counting Florida, the tour starts on June 4, and there should be "one or two" new songs around the time they embark on the tour. That gives us some two weeks, right?

I think that’s two different things. He probably sings the Mickey way to save what’s left from his mid range but I think he blew some of his upper range with AC/DC. When you watch videos of the Axl/DC NA tour 2016, that’s the first time he struggles to hit high notes and it stayed that way after the tour finished (that’s why he can’t sing ie the Better bridge properly anymore). 
Imo him sounding like Mickey doesn’t have anything to do with AC/DC but him not reaching the high notes anymore does

You’re absolutely right, but some people will never understand this. Sustainability is one thing, but another thing is the fact that there are spots where rasp should be and he’s clearly reaching for it, yet the throat is not having it and the result just sounds bad. 
I don’t know how much this magical "practicing" or even "rehearsing" can do about it (the latter being basically just warm-up before the show). 
Again, I do think he still has something left in the tank – and I never doubted he still can nail it in the studio. Short portions – no problem. It’s the tireless, endless, unnecessary touring that ruins him.

How long have you been an otolaryngologist?

Since I heard Axl in 2001.

No. If there wasn’t for AC/DC, he could have used that power he still had in 2016 gradually in GN’R shows, in a sustainable manner, for years on and he still would have sounded good (better than in the few years before). But this thing took a huge toll, and you could hear it as early as in 2017 (actually towards the end of 2016 already). I understand he had to do that, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and a dream come true. But now, we’re condemned to just glean whatever scraps there may be and grasp every glimpse of rasp/power voice that occasionally occurs (essentially sounding like Herbert the Pervert having micro hissy fits). As per usual, it may get slightly better during the course of the tour, but his voice has been shot for a few years now, basically since 2018, with some surprising exceptions. It’s not about practicing, it’s not about a vocal coach any more. 
Sure, miracles could always happen, I’m still an optimist. But why wouldn’t he have sounded better if he could recently? I don’t buy that "he’s lazy" nonsense. 
Maybe it also depends on the drive – NITL was stale in the last years. 
Maybe they need to, you know, release something. 
I want to believe. 

I don't know what TF "I got you" is, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask...

Wear this on the stage, you stubborn bastard!

The only podcasts I tend to listen to are true crime related, some of which are:

Murder mile

Casefile

Trace evidence

They walk among us

They walk among America 

Unseen

Unresolved

The trail went cold

True crime all the Time

True crime all the time unsolved

Morbidology

Criminology

 

I also listen to a few kiss pods and appetite for distortion. 

When your working alone for 7 hours a day 4 days a week and 10 hours a day 2 days a week you tend to get thru a lot of podcasts

I don't listen to any podcasts, generally don't know anything about them, was just curious, so I peeked here. Anyway, judging from your post, you might like this YT channel I came across the other day. There used to be more videos, but it's still awesome.

It’s the one from the Chinese Democracy cover , Silly. He’s just removed the basket which is at home with Chinese Democracy 2 album in it. 

All recorded no later than on Dec. 31, 1999 and not a day later! 

I may be wrong, but I think he used the words "could" and "should" a lot. Maybe I'm misremembering it, though.

That sentiment came from many different sources. The media (whom he threatened to kick their ass), the fans at the shows, members of the band, management, etc.

The confirmation bias among you guys incessantly pushing this narrative apparently knows no bounds.

AXL has never stated that the lyrics are about SLASH. IIRC he was even asked about it and claimed it wasn’t about SLASH.

So unless you have hard evidence to the contrary, you’re just talking out of your ass. And for that I’m sorry for you, not sorry for me .

I literally said he'd literally said it sometime is a mash. And considering the circumstances... I wouldn't expect him to admit "yes, it's only about him". So I'll keep this possibility it was partially inspired by him as well, you know, given the literal sentence he was told etc. But you can believe whatever you want, I'm not pressing anyone. 

I suggest that somebody make the poll on singles and outliers etc. The more, the better.
