Because while it had Osaka & Tokyo it also had Rock In Rio 2011 & East Rutherford 2011, which I was there for and saw the half filled arena, Axl going on three hours late, a roooough opening act (Asking Alexandria) who had nearly half of the real estate on all promo material, and Axl had to drink from and prominently display a Monster can before November Rain. It was also when the internet seized on the images of him in the raincoat and, I think, cruelly meme'd him because of his weight. 

Whatever happened between December 2010 & October 2011 that caused Axl to lose inspiration is kind of sad enough for me to vote for it. This was also the first tour without Robin. 

That said, I did make Axl laugh from the pit in Rutherford, which I'm pretty proud of. And looking at the setlist for it now I am floored that I apparently saw Shackler's & Madagascar and have no memory of it.

how did you axl laugh?

I was in the front two rows and during Nightrain we locked eyes and I started dancing to make him break character. There's video of it on YouTube, but I don't think I can post it here.

I get all this. I’d separate 09/10 and 11/12/13/14 as almost two separate eras even. There was a long gap anyways and the quality definitely took a dip

Yup - I would love to know just what exactly happened between December '10 and October '11.
