When are we getting the first Insta pic of Axl n Slash just hanging out?

Let's be realistic here. Axl isn't aging the best, and he is older than ever! No way he is gonna sound better than before, say 2006-2010. It should be something like Vegas 2014. But, he has never sounded good at the initially stages after a long lay-off. And, 2014 is already two years ago. Hope he works on his vocals a bit before showing up for the shows.

His vocals should be similar to those in Vegas 2014.

But...with no rehearsal, the first shows will probably be bad...lots of Mickey, out of breath etc.

Just compare opening show 2006: He did lots of rehearsals and kicked ass to the opening shows in Mexico 2007: Worst outro squeal of Jungle ever and out of breath performances in 09 - before kicking into a higher gear later on. Still, his better performances 11-14 have not been on par with his 2010 best.

He better not show up to a much hyped reunion show straight off the couch - like he did in Rio 11 and all the other recent tours - treating the first few live shows as warm-up/rehearsal, better come prepared when the whole world will be watching..

Expecting Axl to post a pic with a top hat or something to that effect real soon.

Dont get too excited. Jarmo said Slash may have spoken out publically too soon. And we all know how sensitive Axl is.

Since Axl sings mostly old song, it only makes sense to do a reunion!

It's funny to see ppl talk about moving forward when the band of hired hands play music that was created 20-30 years ago by other musicians.

Nothing. Axl needs to relax this year.

Soap opera band management.

Let's be realistic. Axl will be pushing 60 soon. He has a proven record of 'never' releasing new music.

RIP NuGnR version 3.0

Petr Elfimov:

It's official - Axl has retired!

Oh yeah. London 2010 was awesome. That would be great!

How much does Axl pay his employees, the 'band'? Most of the time they're not touring and some of them did not contribute to any record. How much, if anything, could they be paid?

No, that was Birmingham 7.25:

It's been nine years since GnR rocked the UK in 2006.

Here's the whole Nottingham show:

An energetic Axl sprints around the stage and gives a passionate performance. No hiding behind an ultrawide bandana, hats or coats here! At this time, his band included players such as Bumblefoot and Robin Finck.

How about a full leak of TIL with raspy vocals. We only have that 16 sec clip or whatever it was.

Then, new music pls

We were all excited and had hope. Axl was actually motivated, looked badass, he even rehearsed and performed well on the first night!

In 2006, Axl was performing well vocally and sounded even better in proshot recordings.

In 2010, he was in charge vocally speaking displaying power, control and that all important rasp.

But in recent years, although he's been quite good at times, the proshots are absolutely awful. Why is that?

In 2006-2010 he sounded better in proshots than other recordings. In 2011-2014 he sounds worse in proshots compared to other recordings. I don't get it..

Where does he find the time? Thought he was busy talking to his best friend Axl Rose everyday making the 100 best songs you ever heard for the best album ever made.

As a rockstar, Axl has reached his zenith, he is in his golden years so to speak. With band members leaving, no sign of releasing new music ever and having Axl's age in mind, have we seen the last live performance from him? These days he seems mostly occupied with wishing his 'brother' from his adopted Brazilian family a happy birthday, was the 2014 Vegas recidency the last we ever saw of him?

Axl's vision was obviously to f**k over the former members while milking their legacy.

It's way too late. If only Axl had gotten his shit out of the way in 2002, the reunion could have happened in 2006.

Seems they had a mini reunion minus Axl. Luckily, mommy Beta protects Axl from those evil ex-members.
