Yes, I think it was chalked up to bronchitis or something. But still... the man knew he couldn't sing that night. Why not go baritone? Oh, that's right, because Axl. lol

Indeed the most ridiculous shit I have ever seen from Axl. Seriously. The man sometimes just doesn't give a fuck!

I would argue that the last great thing he put out was Unplugged... and I own Wasting Light. The truth is, if 1993 Dave met 2023 Dave, 1993 Dave would want to punch 2023 Dave right in the face.

It would either be the Ritz or 1992 Paris. The Ritz for the rawness. The Paris show for the larger-than-life element. Guns N Roses peaked in 1992 as far as global popularity goes. They were almost demigod mode.

Well according to Axl, Slash is in his ass. So technically, a vote for Slash is also a vote for Axl...

If we let it, it will destroy all the arts. Music, game development, writing... you name it, AI will destroy it. Because you know some businessmen are already checking into the viability of releasing new Sinatra records. Hire a composer, tell AI to sing like Frank and viola... money to burn. And once they figure that out, and the tech matures, it'll be just a computer doing everything. They'll just program it to make new albums from all the greats. And then when that wears off, they'll just invent new greats entirely inside the machine. I'm not one of those tin-foil-hat people. As a matter of fact, I am the first to roll my eyes at that stuff. But this... this is the real deal, people. And if you care anything at all about art, you should be against it.

So far, all I own is GNR Lies. As a kid, back in their heyday, I owned the tape. Then when I got into my teens, I got the CD. Like most heterosexual boys, I would gaze at that model inside and think, man... if only that black bar wasn't there. Then, flash forward to about a year ago, I find out that in Europe, the original uncensored version came out on LP along with allusions to wife-beating on the front via the fake headlines and suddenly, I knew I had to own it. I hopped on Ebay, found a copy of the first EU pressing and ordered it. When it arrived, I checked out the cool original headlines, then slid the sleeve out and there she was, exactly as Axl and the boys had always wanted me to see her: completely uncensored and in all her glory. Another life goal completed.
