Re: I know we're all excited but...
I'd love this.
Anyone else scared that it was 10 years ago?

Re: I know we're all excited but...
These are PROFESSIONALS I am going to be spending 100's if not 1,000's of dollars to see. We know Slash and Duff will deliver big time, but Axl comes in sounding bad after all these years and all the money I spent yes I will be pissed. Just like I get pissed when my football team looks unprepared.

Phalangeal dexterity and vocal abilities can't be compared when it comes to rate of decay. Should Axl still be able to sound 2006-ish? I THINK so, but I have nothing to base this off of. Having been in Atlanta both times in 2011, I'd say it was certainly possible 5 years ago, so I think he can. Your football team seemed well versed in dismantling Michigan State, so don't worry on that. bammer.

All SOUND amazing despite old age. Jagger sounds the worst but still decent.

Re: I know we're all excited but...
I think (somewhat fear) what he looks like physically on Kimmel will give us an idea as to whether he will be back to 06 form. Not expecting him to look like 2006 Axl, who frankly I believe was on the juice at that time, but something more svelte would be a good sign. I have no idea how new that "new" picture of Axl floating around is. All that said, only on a damn GN'R forum do fans give a shit enough to have to debate what shape the frontman will be (in). haha

He still has 3 months to get in shape. That is plenty of time. Question is will he do it.

Re: I know we're all excited but...
I would not be pissed off but I would be sad. Axl from 85-93 was arguably the greatest frontman ever. I'd rather see him retire than embarrass himself. If only Duff ran into him at the hotel a decade earlier, perhaps we could have gotten 2006 Axl with Slash/Duff/Izzy.

Bruce Dickinson. Can't hit the high notes of old, but the new Iron Maiden album is really good.
Re: I know we're all excited but...
How pissed will you be if Axl shows up bloated and singing for shit?
Unfortunately, I think that may happen....hoping for the best but if I was a betting man.....no problem with Fat Elvis/70's Elvis but you gotta still keep the voice in shape. We know he can bring it when backed in a corner because he closed out the Vegas residency with 2 legendary shows. However, I would really like him to show up ready to play from day 1.
