That comment is also subjective and always your opinion which you think reigns supreme on this board.
Who? The paid advertising/media. Lightbulb moment there alot of those media companies are paid to promote these shows. Do you think they will be writing bad reviews when the band is also paying their advertising? Australia media is small and not diverse.
In my own opinion and as someone who actually attended and had been to plenty of prior Australian gnr shows their performance (not just axl) was far worse then any other legs I had seen. The shows were nowhere near being sold out so demand has dropped already.
Maybe one day jump off the computer and watch a show you spent a few hundred on a ticket for and then let me know if it was up to scratch?
