    I've always wondered who came up with "less bloated and cracking jokes" and if he's still here, and why exactly that became a mainstay lmao, and if he knows what he contributed to the GNR community.

    The sad true is that every time GNR go back on tour the "less bloated and cracking jokes" thing comes again but sometimes not like a joke!😆

    To your point, while I don’t know this to be true, I get the sense that AXL has animosity toward Myles Kennedy performing GN’R tunes not only with Slash on tour but also as part of the RnR HOF thing.

    Perhaps I’m wrong, but it fits AXL’s personality.

    I know it couldn’t happen w/o AXL’s blessing, but hypothetically if Myles stepped in for AXL (due to his vocal issues) to tour with GN’R at the behest of the rest of the band — I’m pretty certain it wouldn’t go over well.

    Regarding the hypothetical inclusion of Myles in GNR, the difference with AXL/DC is that Axl has sort of the same status of "god" as Brian, Myles is a great singer but not an icon.

    It was a very difficult situation for a lot of casual fans to be objective about, for a number of reasons. On one hand, you have AC/DC basically reduced to rubble - for a lot of people Mal's departure alone was too much to stomach. Then you add on Phil going off the deep end and being booted from the band. Then, when things have finally somewhat stabilized, mid-tour you've got Brian suddenly dropping out. Of the classic lineup, that left Angus and Cliff - that's hardly AC/DC in most people's eyes, even with Slade and Stevie being alumni as it was. On the other hand, Axl does still have a reputation and there's a lot of people that vehemently hate him and anything he does based on his actions and attitude a long time ago. Of course these people are totally ignorant of the fact that GN'R has not been doing the late starts or storming off stage for a long time now, but these people seem incapable of being impartial about Axl actually performing really well. Think of it as a Venn diagram - one bulb is people who are purist about AC/DC and the other bubble is the people who absolutely hate Axl, then you've got the crossover in the middle. These people don't care that Axl sounded the best he has since the 90's, these people don't care that AC/DC played the longest sets of their entire career, and these people certainly don't care that the band was reviving songs not played in 35+ years (Or in one instance, ever) because in their eyes it wasn't AC/DC and/or because they were doing it with a lead singer that they hate. 

    You nailed it!

  4. Facts:

    1- Axl in 2016 was better than Brian Johnson

    2- Axl did saved ACDC ass, putting an "A" level singer that also happens to be one of the most famous, which means tickets will sell anyway, for ACDC and for GNR fans

    3- ACDC didn't talk too much while Axl was there. I remember Angus mentioning that Axl was "excited" and wanting to continue with them, but it seems they were hiding from the situation

    4- Fans will support the lead/main singer, even if the replacement is better. For instance, in Van Halen Sammy Hagar is by far a better singer than DLR, but fans want DLR!!!

    I think Brian could have been more supportive about Axl, saying something like "It was a bad time for me, he saved the tour". Also the other fact is that ACDC didn't play live anymore after Axl/DC, so...

    He said that he would like to talk but he can't because of NDA's. (I had posted about it in the similar thread from last year).

    NDA's: This is the topic we all GNR fans should address. If we could have the word of the people involved in the band we could have better "facts", but due to this contracts people are not able to talk, at least in an honest way (Huge, Stinson, Robin, Bucket, Bumble, Ashba, Pitman, etc).

    Not sure about his personality, but the "he couldn't play" thing is bullshit. It truly is. In only 2 live concerts we have recordings with him, he played way closer to Izzy's original parts and with better handling than Gilby ever did it. I'm saying from a technical standpoint - he was more than capable. 

    Then again, Slash also said the Chinese Democracy solos didn't have melody. 

    Slash didn't do justice with Chinese solos either. Chinese has some crappy songs but really good ones also, like TWAT, IRS or SOD (in my humble opinion)

    Hey people, been there last night. AMAZING show. The band was on Fire and Axl did a GREAT job. Yes, some songs are harder than others, hardskool for example, but he puts everything on it, he sings his ass off on every song. Slash seems a litte odd on some songs, but the ones he loves like Nightrain and Coma he was crazy running all over the stage like he used to do 30 years ago. Richard kills it like he always do. And the rest did their part. 28 songs, first time hearin reckless, shadow, hardskool, slither and absurd for me so it was something different. And i have to say, videos wont make justice for what u see live, the experience of living it and see how hard he puts his body and soul on that stage, is amazing. 
    So well hope u can enjoy every show u can! See u ! 

    100% agree with you! Axl was on fire and sounded awesome there in the stadium. The weaker songs were Coma and Hardskool. I recorded the end of You Could Be Mine and man, he was spot on!
