I really hope Axl doesn't write his own biography i.e. version of events, at least not in the near future. It would be very hard to write that book without rubbing Slash or Duff the wrong way..and we don't need that shit right now..

I think the easiest thing to do would be to make an official "Oral History of Guns N' Roses: 1985-1995" book where an interviewer asks Slash/Axl/Steven/Izzy/Duff/Matt/Gilby/Dizzy/Niven/Goldstein/Vicky/Huge/Marc Canter/Del/Robert John all the same questions and then presents their answers together so you can see what each person thought of every situation, and then the readers can judge for themselves as to what happened.

I do think his vocals for GN'R have been a bit better now with the new lineup.

Oh definitely - but songs like Sweet Child O' Mine and November Rain are still bad.

From what Axl said it doesn't seem it was as much to sing prettier but to be able to sing the scratchy AC/DC songs without damaging his voice. But yeah, if this means he will now also add a little more rasp on GN'R songs that would be good.

Well he was probably scared shitless of going in front of a stadium of AC/DC fans and disappointing them. 

I wonder if he's having the vocal coach help him with GNR songs? Since a bunch of the songs still sound like ass, I'm guessing no.

It's kind of fucked up that he only went back to a vocal coach because of the AC/DC gig

We dodged a bullet there - otherwise we would have had Mickey all year

What I do not understand is the hate for Frank. The man has been behind the kit in this band for 10 years! I know people had their opinions on him before but it's crazy now. He does a hella good job, and people need to realize Adler will only make guest appearances.

Frank fucks up a lot - he's incapable of improvising when shit goes wrong

With Slash and Duff, guys who are used to playing looser, that's no good

Adler and Brain were always good with compensating for Axl or the rest of the band fucking up 

Frank is incapable of stopping his fill early to help Axl out during "you're gonna dieeeeeeeee"

It's annoying. Even Axl just gives up and stops holding it out now

It's probably a rights thing - up until this year, do you think Axl would have signed off on classic GNR footage being included in someone else's documentary? 

Nope

AC/DC asked Axl if he'd sing for them and he agreed.

Nope - Axl called them and offered

From the notes for this show from GNROnTour:

http://www.gnrontour.com/

Axl introduces himself as “Swing, my name is Mr. Mood Swing.”

Isn't it also possible he felt cornered by the enormity of the GNR reunion and wanted to hedge his bets elsewhere?

If the reunion fell apart, Duff and Slash could easily find something else to do. Axl...not so much. He had no leverage up until the AC/DC gig. Now he can say to Slash and Duff "well if you're not going to do things my way, I'll go play with AC/DC for the rest of my life and you'll never make big money again".

It's smart on his part.

On a final note, I don't see Slash and Duff or Richard or Frank crib on a daily basis about how much Axl loves AC/DC more than GN'R, but they aren't doing so because I suspect that they realize that Axl being excited and happy and bringing in more publicity by way of AC/DC is good for them and their futures with GN'R too. 

That's a funny way of saying "gag order"

I think we can now confirm that 2011-2014 was just Axl being lazy

I'm not paying to see him with GNR if he's going to half-ass it - I'll be at an AC/DC show instead

Can he even run nowadays like he used to during the UYI tour? The last I ever saw axl running around was during the 2006 tour and then I didnt follow nu-GN'R beyond that 

He still does a sprint to both ends of the stage at the end of Paradise City, but other than that not really

I don't think he's jumped off anything since Montreal 2010 when he fucked up his back after leaping off a piano

Ritz 88, Argentina 92, Rock am Ring 2006

AC/DC with Axl...yes

GNR...no

End the GNR reunion now and let Axl focus on this

I'm serious

I honestly don't care if GNR ever plays another show - more of this, please!

WTF??

See GNR this year - you might never get another chance

I know they've said Zeppelin will never do another show, but Plant and Page doing a show together would have been appropriate for this
