Both in terms of his voice and his looks, it's clear he's put some work in. The foot injury was unfortunate, but in all honesty, this might gain Axl some "brownie points" within the media, which isn't a bad thing. Would LOVE to see what this group could do in the studio...

Fuck dude.

Holy fucking shit that was awesome.

That LALD scream just made me go from 6 to midnight.

What's the time in Vegas??

Yep, 2:20 here and the beer is what's keeping me awake.

Expecting once Guns takes the stage, even sitting on my couch, the adrenaline takes over.

I mostly lurk here, but listening to this sound check...just awesome..

Axl sounds fantastic. 

This is incredible.

They could probably alternate Brownstone/It's So Easy and be alright, but obviously that's highly unlikely. I think I'd probably go:

Welcome to the Jungle

SCOM

Paradise City

It's So Easy

Rocket Queen

I'd take It's So Easy over Brownstone because I think it's probably the song Axl sounds the best on these days.

Realistically, a reunion will just result in more AFD music, not less. Fun discussion, though.

I dig it.

I don't think Slash hates Axl. I'm sure there is dislike because of their turbulent past and I think Slash is annoyed that Axl still hates him and has no interest in working things out. Slash has been mostly complimentary of Axl over the last few years, when he actually gave some sort of an opinion.

If Axl called Slash up and said 'hey dude, let's meet up and work things out', it would happen. If Slash called up Axl, some sort of Slash siren would go off at Axl's and Beta would have the place on lockdown. TB is fueling the whole thing as much as Axl's own stubbornness. Point being, Slash would potentially show you how little he hates Axl if he was able to. He can't and cares about image and has an ego, so he acts as though he could care less what Axl's doing.

The logic that somehow Axl having current success would correlate to him thinking about getting the old band back together is pretty bad. As encouraging and enjoyable as stuff like full shows with Duff are, a reunion just isn't in the cards. Axl has worked for almost 20 years now to establish that him + anyone he decides is fit = Guns N Roses. Anything short of kicking out all current members and re-establishing the original band (not happening) will completely undermine any credibility the current band has.

The amount of criticism in this thread on album art, song titles, and one 30 second clip is impressive.
