Funny that he didn't feel the need or bother to inform the audience that he wasn't feeling well but we only get the strep throat line after the shit hits the fan, which could have all been avoided if Axl, after the first song, just said - "Not feeling the best but glad to be here."

Now, if I was Axl and I did actually have a strep throat, then I would have done the following:

"Hi, it's an honor to be here to perform for such a good cause. Now for the bad news, I'm sorry to say that I've come down with strep throat, so please bare with my voice guys. Let's do this!" 1.. 2.. 3.. *start song

And everybody would have been forgiving. Now it's just damage control because he doesn't have strep throat, he's just come to the conclusion that his performance sucked and needed another excuse.

This x1000

It is obvious he was sick. Bumblefoot even came on gunsnroses.com and confirmed it and gave him props for even doing the show. His voice was cutting out at many parts where it never would before and I am not talking back in the 90s or early 2000s, his voice would have never cut out like that at any of the shows earlier this year. He sounded amazing when I saw him in February on the UCAP tour. I am very sorry he was sick and sorry for the luck of these streamed shows always getting the sick voice, I remember back in 2011 him having bronchitis as well possibly near the RIR show. Axl always says himself back luck follows him around, so this could be just one of those things. Being a singer and one that travels around to different climates and being cooped in hotels much of the time it is not a surprise that he acquires these upper respiratory illnesses.

This is not the end of the world or the end of GNR by any means, he was sick, period. I thought Patience sounded pretty good. Just the songs that require the growl and scream were out of reach with strep throat. Think how frustrating it must be for him. I'm glad he did the show despite the illness and did not cause another no-show headline right before the Vegas shows.

You literally have so many professional singers in the world, that also travel and age, and yet this only happens to Axl Rose. Yes, that sounds like a way of explaining things correctly...

Yes.... only Axl. :rolleyes:

I saw Axl give a brilliant vocal performance in Birmingham 2010... And then he apologised for his voice being out... Even though he put on a great show. unsure.gif

The voice he put out that show was one of the best of the tours IMO. The rasp was through the roof.

Axl's voice is so unique that it must be a demanding challenge to hit all the notes all the time, his voice was so powerful at age 25-30 year old plus a three year tour must have really shot his voice, how the hell do people expect him to better the studio ycbm vocals for example. Performing with strep throat can't be easy but at least he's got the benefit of the show at heart. Does he still smoke the stogies?

Someone needs to explain why a strep throat makes someone mix two songs together.

It doesn't. He fucked up the lines.

Did anyone deny that he did?

I see people starting to makes excuses. I'm sick of the excuses, there are always excuses. Ridiculous.

Excuses for him messing up the lines in Jungle? Where?

He fucked up, plain and simple. It's not the end of the world.

In fairness, Madonna doesn't have a history of canceling many shows (don't know about the others). She's performed about 300 concerts and has canceled 2 shows, one of which was rescheduled. I don't think Axl can say the same. I'm sure Soul Monster can do a spreadsheet or something though for comparison.
