Black Hole Sun, Wichita Lineman, The Seeker has NOTHING relate to the band. 

Should be rotational. Too many covers. Got it at first with BHS and WL as tributes,  but they're played out. I know axl doesn't play "one goddamn note" for me or anyone else, but the buzz is stale. 

Hopefully optimistic should be the term. After what the dude put us through with CD, hope nobody is holding their breath.

I believe this about as far as I can throw Axl. 

Need to hear the Seeker in my life. 

At least Shadow shows that he could probably pull off Hard School pretty nicely if they ever play it. 

If one song had to be dropped, YCBM could be it. It Has been rough sounding for years. Even during 06-10. 

Yup, there he is. You Could Be Mickey. 

Despite the warbly feed, he sounded shockingly competent on the Rocket Queen outtro.

There is no way in hell that they should drop Nightrain! 

Agreed. I could go without hearing almost any song, but Nightrain needs to stay. 

I think Nightrain needs to be a staple, but LALD and YCBM should be alternated for each other, or dropped completely. Two of the worse sounding songs of recent years. 

All decisions ultimately go through the Mack Daddy. Everyone should know that by now.

God no, '92 definitely isn't the bar. If anything, '88 is the bar. And 2010 is the most recent gold standard.

I think he was better in '06 than '10, but that's just me. '06 was also 13 years ago now, so it's hard to expect that - or anything close to it.

In 1992 he sounded like he was shredding glass on his vocal chords

I think that was part of the appeal of the GNR sound, but yeah. I'm convinced that the guy had some sort of major vocal damage from singing like that.

Also- all in favor of sending 1 person per show with a good iphone to live stream the whole thing? We all split the cost

Would prefer one person front row center with a giant "Who's the Mack Daddy? Banner.

People who are saying Axl is sounding bad right now need better ears

 

Bad in comparison to what though? I think we have the bar set at 1992, and then typically 2006 is the recent gold standard. People just have to accept the fact that the "Mickey" voice is the only way he is singing in a high range these days. You have two options; nasaly falsetto, or tune the songs down, where they will sound like shit anyway. There's nothing short of a time machine to make him sing like he did 30 years ago.

We’re in 2019 and people still have phones with this shitty of a mic

Seriously. I remember boots from '06 that were better sounding.

For real tho!

It's not just me, right? Bridge school - sick. Rio - sick. Jimmy Kimmel - sick. Guy gets sick an awful lot. I know people who do get sick more than your average person, but it seems to be a cop out for poor performances.

maybe he got a cold or something?

He seems to get sick an awful lot. Maybe he should get his immune system checked out or take more vitamin C or something...lol

Okay. And what are you? 

A sad, non sedated guy with a respectable haircut? 

The scream probably takes too much out of him vocally. He's singing on fumes most nights and probably has to do a better job at conserving whatever he does have.

I agree then them starting Jungle after. It was so good

Those were the days when shit was fun. Didn't know if he'd be 4 hours late or even show up on time. Now he's just some sad, sedated ball of goo with an old man haircut.

Duff is live streaming.

 

I wish they would bring back the intro from 2001 

Exorcist 3 intro was the bomb.

Even Nightrain or YCBM

I personally think he needs to shelve YCBM. It sounds dreadful.

I miss the surprise factor of switching at least the setlist order

Easy, Jungle, Chinese, Hard School would all be good openers.

It's so predictable at this point; Easy, Brownstone, Chinese, Jungle... etc, etc, etc....

If they opened up with anything but Easy at this point, I think I'd have a fucking aneurysm 

I think it's a concept piece, made for the listener to think that they are indeed - the mac daddy.
