AtlasShrugged

It is probably the social media team's phrasing. Though band should be a bit more conscious of how it looks and someone high up would have sign off. In fairness, you wonder if band even realises how badly received the song was. Eg a Perhaps video this late on probably would have been more exciting but for The General.. not even the hardcores care. (Caveat: I think the song is fine)

I honestly don't mind or get offended by anything he says or does but just don't think he's had this big road to Damascus moment

Yeah but the character he is playing is himself. Anyway, he’s changed dramatically as 2021’s release “pussy full of maggots” shows 👌

Hahaha

He still sings the songs live though, and gestures the lyrics. Plus .. Absurd? I agree with your general sentiment though

I def agree with some of the sentiment expressed here - it felt more like it was 'our' band. You knew it wasn't a popular thing, but we were in it together. There was still the hope of what was to come. Some great shows, Axl in great form at various points. Looking back at 2006 and that really was the second coming. I wish I was a bit older to have gone to 2006 shows or some of the smaller venues they played.

He reads Catcher in the Rye every Christmas

Really is bizarre. Doesn't seem to be any strategy here. Where on earth Monsters came from or when it's supposed to come out officially is anyone's guess. The couple of songs every now and again was fun for a while but as another poster said it isn't a great listening experience. They become worn out so easily when you're so starved for material.

Guilty when it's Fernando, innocent when it's Axl

Axl does have a good memory but the way he has gone deep on learning Knock Knock jokes and sharing them with Duff over text message since they became friends again has probably pushed other stuff out of his mind. It's one thing having a good memory but when you know as many jokes as Axl does then you wonder what stuff he no longer remembers.

I really don't think we can say that objectively. And being the first isn't an excuse - he's a professional singer, he's supposed to rehearse for these moments which he admitted he hasn't. It isn't as much of a disaster as Hard School is live and probably marginally better than Perhaps but it's really below par. Do really like both of the new songs though - just a shame how he can't perform vocally.

Axl sounds horrible but good to have it debuted. I like the studio version

They don't have that many hits too when you think about it. Grand for us fans but in a big stadium over three hours.. probably not enough stadium bangers

Yeah the hint is they're going to play songs from Appetite and Use Your Illusion

Yeah thought that from seeing them this year. It's a very long slow and the pacing needs a bit of work
