Freddie Mercury's Ghost

Ritz 88

Rock in Rio II

Rock am Ring 2006

He used too much rasp during the UYI tour and in 2010.

If Axl still had the rasp today, you'd say he was in prime form.

Come on now lolcano...

Put out a DVD with O2 and Vegas? That'd be nice

They'll both end up on Youtube anyways

Any 2010 proshot or soundboard?

Closest thing to a full soundboard is the monitor-mix of the Tokyo 2009 show (the band's longest show ever):

There's really good audience recordings from 2010 when Axl's better rehearsed than the 2009 shows (Toronto 2010 and the two London 2010 shows are great).

Only proshot from 2010 is an incomplete performance from Reading (3 or 4 songs):

My favorite WTTJ from 2010:

What the hell ever happened to this?

I'm still bummed it never got released.

He should do a reunion show to raise money for the victims

Axl should try fronting Queen - he'd be better than the American Idol dude

how do you view his posts I'm sure in his first post he gave me grief.. doubt its him.

Most of his posts sound very much like Axl. Either it's a cupcake typing like Axl, or it's Axl trolling us.

we need a mod lol

I don't know if the new regime has the same connections that Eric had 5 years ago. They could at least tell us if the IP is from California.

I think he needs to realize that making himself more accessible means less people speculating about his life and therefore less people pissing him off.

can you create a thread about gnr meow being axl on discussions & news? is it the right section?

I think we shouldn't create a thread - if there's too much attention he'll just get scared off.

Treat him like the Yeti. He walks among us and might make some appearances.

When Dexter started posting it didn't took much time for him to start acting like Axl actually. With all the "You've been wondering where I am, I'm right here!" stuff. So I don't know.

Well that's because he was pissed off after a certain someone was making fun of Fernando.

Will there be a guitar intro on the next record?

No guitars at all,more synth tracks than on a Gary Wright album merely to piss off this internet community.

Why does Axl think we hate synth?

I think the general consensus here is that we dig the Chinese Democracy era material.

It would be cool if we don't freak the fuck out like we did last time, and he can just post here regularly like anyone else.

I think we shouldn't do a "Chat" thread since that just pressures him to throw out responses and not want to come back.

I just got an invite! I'm pretty surprised I was one of the lucky ones.

Look at it this way - Axl's posting here and not at his new board.

Says a lot.

Yes. But it should be at Rio, for obvious reasons.

Unannounced warm-up shows at The Roxy in LA and The Ritz in NY

3 gigs: Rio, Giants Stadium in New York City, and Wembley Stadium in London

great idea. but as the show is closing out axl releases the contents of any finished songs hes completed to the masses. last show, last record. boom

"There! You all get a free copy of the new CD on your way out - and criticize it all you want because we don't fucking exist anymore!"

What about bringing in Bob Dylan to play on "Knocking on Heaven's Door"?

Is New GNR sort of turning into Motley Crue? The Girls section on Paradise City and Vegas strippers on stage seems very Motley to me.

They kind of just copied Crue's Vegas show and used their custom-rigging, so yeah.

And all the Guns N' Roses line-up together playing Paradise City at the end. Awesome.

Oh my goodness.

10 minute extended outro with everyone taking turns soloing.

Fuck yeah!

I'm re-posting it here without the poll (Don't Damn Me is where threads go to die and no one will see it there):

Axl is 50 years old. His voice is trashed.

Why doesn't he just take 6 months to prepare himself for one final blow-off show? I'm a big fan of The Band's The Last Waltz where they did one final show with special guests. The whole thing was fucking amazing.

Think about it - one final GNR show at Wembley Stadium with each of the original members sitting in for a song or two, Brian May doing "Catcher in the Rye", Angry Anderson guesting on "Nice Boys", Alice Cooper doing "The Garden" with Axl, Elton John duetting "November Rain" with Axl, Buckethead doing "There Was a Time", and all sorts of other shit.

4 hours of excess in front of 80,000 fans - the way Guns N' Roses should go out.

How about it?

Gather a consensus from actual GNR fans.

Then that would not be a "general consensus" though

It would if it was a "general consensus" of GNR fans. The fans are all that matter in this "hypothetical consensus" cos they are the one who buy tickets and commercial releases.

The majority of the world thinks Axl's a joke and will laugh at his horrid vocals on the video in this thread. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Come on Team Brazil - I'll give you my hard-earned money to have the London 2010 shows released as soundboard CD's and/or Blu Ray discs.

Hell, a proper soundboard mix/Blu Ray of the historic Tokyo 2009 show would be awesome.

The new London and Vegas releases from 2012 are going to do the band no favors when it comes to public perception. Axl's voice is shot.

You have all the shows from 2009 and 2010 recorded - do the right thing and throw us some bones.

You could even partner with a site like this to sell the soundboard audio online:

It does seem like a bit of a sabotage. They could have at least picked a song that Axl sounded good on to post.

Well, when there are none that's hard.

That XM broadcast from Vegas had 0 highlights and I deleted it from my hard drive after recording it.

All these judgements on vocals and guitar tone from one unmixed (mono) end of the night song!

What, is Axl's rasp hiding in the other audio channel?
