I was there seeing my first Guns concert since 2007. I feel so lucky because in my opinion they killed it. You can tell that Axl is learning to use the voice he has now in new ways. On the low end he's getting incredible drive, and he's able to add rasp in lots of places. There weren't any parts that I thought he sounded like Mickey. In general it seemed like he really enjoys being a showman. Melissa's contribution is subtle but in my opinion it adds a lot. Another cool part was the piano chords that Dizzy played before the solos in Rocket Queen. They helped me to hear the solos in a new way. I appreciate what this band is doing for music. I'm debating going to see them again on Friday in Pittsburgh because I'll be in the area.
