Brilliant! I don't think he gets the respect he deserves for how good a singer he is. His voice is very unique and distinctive as well.

You´r right ...Thinking better about one big event with live transmition to world which didnt usual for 80´s ...maybe the nervous was the reason for Le Bon false note About Simon mothers ...so sad, there a big difference familial support that Axl unfortunately didnt have on his childhood e made him a person full of issue. We understand. Simon even on top of his sucess keeps his mind on earth and have a normal life 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(insert Axl's letter here ) Don't know if you saw this or not, but they had their first show in Oakland last night and played "Hold Back the Rain". I don't think they've played that one in a while --unless it was played at Lollapoloza? Love the lyric change at 1:52. And Simon sounds fabulous and looks like he is having a great time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRHOF nominees seems to political of entertainment business influences than to the really music issues. I saw on insta parts of yesterday show. My dream is" Matter of feeling" come back to set I hope they celebrate 40ýs with a big tour. They have power to this, maybe need a agent more engagament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have power to this, maybe need a agent more engagament That would be a wonderful addition to the setlist. My personal dream has always been to hear "Do You Believe in Shame" one more time. The bass line, Nick's keyboard parts and Simon's lyrics are some of their very favorite for me. I'd love to hear some of the b-sides too at a 40 year show. 35 minutes ago, Lucky girl said: Just saw this! Wonderfull 'new" old song on set The start of the song here ^ reminds me so much of the live video (As the Lights Go Down) from the mid-80s.
