WhazUp Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) We have come a long way from the Axl who would routinely show up late and find moments to leave early lol. I am sometimes critical of Axl's vocal performance but I must admit that he is more professional than he ever was To go from the dude who you wouldn't even know would play the whole gig or show up within 3 hours of the start time, to go to the dude who starts on time and posts on social media when they are sick, is a monumental difference Edited September 18, 2021 by WhazUp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Axls a professional. He definitely sounded off at points but it was still a damn good performance. I thought Rocket Queen, LALD and Nightrain sounded really good for current Axl. The only time i even noticed something was Better, which was pretty rough, and I assume what Axl was thinking of when he says his vocals were off?

gavgnr Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Good to see Axl engaging in direct communication with the fans. Hope he’s feeling better now. Is this the first time Axl has used GnR’s FB/IG to speak? All we need now is for him to make direct comments about the new record/music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Someone has to ask the stupid question, I suppose, so why not let it be me. Since I’m not too involved in the social media madness (I do have a FB account, ok?), my question is: why Instagram? I thought it was for photos. Why didn’t he put it on Twitter, like he’d normally do? No big deal, but I have a hangover, and sometimes these are the questions that you ask instead of pondering about life, the universe and everything. Thank you for your attention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot and probably many of them have instagram and not twitter and vice versa, so it was just a matter of reaching out to as many fans as possible. I, for one, very rarely use twitter and I saw it on IG. Had they put it only on twitter, I would have read it on this forum before seeing it directly from them.

alfierose Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Weirdly detailed explanation. I had a sickness bug would have sufficed. Glad he feels better now though. Must be horrible to soldier on whilst feeling sick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KURT19 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 He seemed happy and powered through a great show. The only thing I noticed was he was sweating a lot. Professional rock show by a professional lead singer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only see this on GNR's Twitter page, not on Instagram or Facebook. Weird that he didn't post it on his personal Twitter account.

ChristianGNR Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 His voice was not good as Atlantic City but not as bad as Hershey Park. The fact that Axl wanted to do a statement itself may tell us even more that something good it’s really on the way. Let’s see what’s gonna happen in Milwaukee.

It was the vibe coming off the band, something was off. Axl pulled his part off so why is he apologizing? They've had bad shows and this wasn't one of them. I understand, is like you got the feeling something has happened to them. Good eyes to see it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwalker19 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I'm sorry, but I find it so comical that some fans read this statement and immediately went back to the mindset of, "Oh, clearly Hard Skool was definitely supposed to be played that night, but wasn't because of this." Just stop, people. 😂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stop, people. 😂 Circular reasoning. Take a desired outcome and figure out the suitable premises. It's a fairly known gimmick to put out 'something' to appease concert promoters that a new product is coming and that it will lure fans to the venues. Too bad the fans start reading tea leaves in want of something that (maybe) was fugazi to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
