Ashba leaves, Bumble leaves, and last I heard Richard was looking work. Time heals all wounds.

I actually like how GnR' have made Bumble's departure a non-issue. Bumble was a big part of the band and I'm sure he has good relations with them still. I think it's pretty safe to say if the band or Bumble were to release an official statement it will just get real dirty real fast. Don't need that.

Axl in the background sounds awesome. His parts sound lowered. Is there a version with Axl on lead? Could it be that Tommy is in the background and it has been turned up?

Could somebody hook me up? Better acoustic and goin down?

Some still claim video of the 1/1/01 gig is out there somewhere. Who knows...

I've seen just pics from this gig. Never a clip from the DVD. You would think if there is a DVD being hoarded out there a 15 sec or 30 sec clip would circulate proving it's existence. I'm not saying that the show wasn't filmed, cause like many GnR' shows it was but in my opinion it was never released as a DVD. You'll hear speculations that it went to print blah blah blah. Give me a a 15 sec clip of the 2 hour show and prove me wrong. The DVD doesn't exist.

I love the performance of Better from this show. I think his lack of movement in the song really contributed to the powerful vocals.

He sounds great at this gig. But you can tell his voice is not what is used to be. Age catches up with everyone eventually.

Happy Birthday Axl!

Is that really it? seriously???

Yup, it was told to us a while ago what the video was going to be like. Anti climactic throughout.

This performance of WTTJ is better than any 2012 version,

Anyone know where I can see the performance depicted in the live snippets?

Whoever wrote that riff should be the main songwriter in band with Axl from now on. My guess is it was Fortus, but it could be Ashba.

im confused. is there a leak or not?!?

PM would be nice if there is a new song

Has something leaked recently, I've been away for two weeks and then I see this thread. PM would be nice.

Not dissapointed and not surprised.

Anything can happen that night! Axl could be in a good mood and want to play with his old lineup or perhaps have some current members with previous members all jam together. That would be cool. Perhaps a song like Patience would be most appropriate for the evening?

This is a big deal to every band ever inducted, and so I don't see the original member missing out due to some bad blood between one another. AFD is an important record in Rock 'n Roll history and one of the greatest records of all time, the members involved should be acknowledged and attend the ceremony. If they don't then they don't, but someone will be there to collect the award and speak on behalf of the band.

Cheers to you on your birthday!

Axl's vocals will never be like it was back in the 90's. Just a part of life that everyone goes through. However I think we are much more critical in the way he sounds because we pay a lot more attention then the average music fan.

I think Axl's voice sounded wonderful in LA a few nights back. Madagascar and Jungle were brilliant.

When you become the greatest front man of all time then you'll know the answer to your question.

Well I think a guy like Axl has a personal trainer that travels with him. How do we know that he was 100% healthy? He didn't seem that way. Axl always performs to his 100% ability and I find it hard to believe that Axl came unprepared.

That studio version from "End of Days" soundtrack does not do the song any justice. There is so much going on, different layers, but it is not clear. A new studio version of this song would be great. People might be able to grasp it a little better then.

Thought Axl said the song released on the soundtrack was a demo version?

The song has more guitars in it now (I mean that's what it sounded like in the video).

Axl just seemed unprepared for one reason or another. Then he seemed frustrated with himself as the concert progressed.

As a professional I'm confident Axl will re-group, warm those vocal chords and perhaps try to get fitter for this tour. Axl has to take better care of his vocals and body if he is to continue to sing and perform the way he intends.

Not one of their best shows by far. Please take into account that the weather was bad, and this is their first show in almost a year. Axl will get that voice going again during the middle of their tour.

We did get Estranged and it appears it might get added to this tour. Probably their best performance of the night, and that's got count for something right?

Why do we think the leaked setlist is real? I coulda made that shit on my computer. Not saying it's fake, but I'm skeptical.

i hear ya. however what's the significance of the underlined part? i wouldn't go into detail like that if i was making it.
