If you want cringe, go to 8:42 on that video.

I can't believe I'm saying it, but, I'm enjoying Yesterday's..

The Alan Niven portion was great and is pretty much a reflection of what most of us diehard fans of the band feel pertaining to the current state of the band/the box set/new music. I won't be listening to the Dizzy portion.

I never really make a gripe about Frank's drumming, but he's going entirely too fast on Shadow. Slash isn't even able to get all of his notes out on the solo. Axl sounded great though!

Why is it that every time Axl has a bad singing night people automatically assume he's "sick?" If that's the case he's been sick for roughly 7 years, and that sure as hell ain't healthy.

When Axl is prepared he sounds great, à la AC/DC. When he has 6 months off and doesn't even make an attempt to try out different ways of singing his own material, you get what you get tonight. Not fair to the fans, but it is what it is. The "sick" comments need to stop though.

Nowadays I'm glad he's at peace with himself. Music wise? Wasted potential.

So when SMKC tour this fall, will they still perform the GNR hits? After 3 albums they should have enough hits for their own set.

He also said he smokes a joint here and there which is in no way "using again." He's doing just fine.

Slash and the band will probably go into the studio as stated and Slash will send Myles the music to write lyrics and melodies to.  I am pretty sure that was how they did a lot of WOF while Myles was on tour with Alter Bridge. I mean how long and big is a Myles Kennedy solo your really going to be anyway?

on another note, I forgot how much I liked this song.

 

Watching this reminds me of how frail/lifeless Slash's tone was at the start of the NITL tour. Thankfully him and Adam Day worked that out!

I'd like to see GNR cover their own songs. 

Did anyone hear that A Merman I Should Turn to Be lick by Fortus? Nice.

Man, Slash just owned Sorry. Wow.

What. A Solo.

In all seriousness, what would Axl even write about? He lives in Malibu w/ a nanny and his cats. Not much going on there for song material. 

I think new music will eventually come out though, be it next year or posthumously.

Kinda sad that Pink's voice projects more than Axl's. 

Love the stripped down look of the stage set.

A proshot of Yesterdays...............

No catwalks?

 

I'm sure it was Axl's request.

Nah.

Must be Axl not wanting to touch UYI songs not even with a 10-foot pole

This. Remember when Ogre or whatever the production manager's name is, said that they have "rehearsed the whole catalog" and are ready to do any of them, yet haven't even touched any deep cuts?

Completely on Axl. No one pays to see their favorite band perform another band's songs. That stretch in the show with BHS, KOHD and the other slow crap drains the whole momentum, and I know I can't be the only one that thinks that.

Guns N' Roses: The most dangerous cover band in the world.

The NeverEnding Story Tour.

Although hard to say, if they're going to continue touring off of the glory of the first album, then it's time to conclude the band. Let Slash and Duff continue being creative in their side ventures and Axl with Angus. I'm thankful for the NITL tour and the ability to see them but at this point, I've heard their small catalog enough, and they're the only band I know that has this much popularity yet being the least creative. Their image and sense of recklessness is what made them who they are, and even that isn't really there anymore. Slash is still slash but only 3/5th's of the original band is left and Axl is nowhere close vocal wise to what he was. They used to be a 1-2 punch and now it's more like a light jab. Again, if they plan on releasing new tapes, I'm all for it. I feel there's still more potential as a unit, more riffs and if Axl chooses to give his AC/DC effort he could actual lay down some great vocals. I actually dig the new band. But no sense in wasting precious years of their life touring on dated music. That's just my take. 

The Not in this Lifetime tour: Where Slash, not Axl, is rude to the fans.

No where near his longest/most technical but I love the dark element behind them. Very sinister. The way it was recorded adds to the effect.
