    I could be misunderstanding your wording but "Mama Kin" and "Nice Boys" are both covers also. 

    ...but on an album they did at least, I think the point was...
    Unlike Seeker and Layla, etc...
    I love a good cover and GNR have done some of the best rock covers ever! 
    Their version of Live and Let Die is definitely the best!

    Not only the best YCBM from the tour IMO but look how INTO Axl is, doing all the moves! He was feelin it in Houston

    and that's fine, in this day and age of us watching every show, we're getting to see nights that aren't quite as good,

    but he's human and it's the same for every perform ! U can't be that intense and into it every night...Just a fact aint it!
    Awesome when he is! Keeps it interesting and reminds us, he can go up a level yet...

    Both reviews have sucked...they all say the same thing. "Axl and Slash didn't get along" "the show was for the nostalgia fans around 35-50 that made up the crowd"

    when I went there were young kids in their 20's and teens everywhere....

    some reviews give Axl credit for being the great frontman he is, but then you get these garbage reviews from Houston that make Axl out to be some mediocre shadow of his former self...while Slash is perfect (which I agree with) but as far as Axl goes he demands your attention, even if you go to see Slash you can't help but fix your eyes on the guy delivering those spine tingling vocals, at 54 he needs more credit

    and this band deserves a better review. They are putting on the best shows of 2016 of any band out touring right now. And they are 25 years removed from their primed..not sure it's ever been done this well. 

    I know us fans could be guilty of hyperbole and bubble syndrome now and again, only natural....
    but I feel this is a VERY fair statement, and i have read really awesome reviews for most of these shows...

    but Man AXL was so on fire last night and I can't think of a frontman to come along since him that 

    has that charisma, voice and stature! I mean even when split and slagging each other, Slash and the rest

    would say, "Well he definitely filled the stadiums back in the day" !  Unlike with Scott...
    Axl is 54 and he drips so much sweat for us each night, some times he sounds better than others,

    but the great nights are more frequent than the ok ones! He's a long way from his 20s and he has no

    right to sound as great as he did last night!! Other than Steven Tyler, most rock voices can't hit 

    any of the notes when they get old, and they change the key instead...
    I know he's a guy who likes to read reviews and things said about him, I wish he could read this whole thread for

    last night...As then he'd find what his hardcore think about this great effort from a man that's frankly had

    the greatest year in rock that I can remember for sometime and we're only 7 months in!
