Re: Guns N' Roses tour to continue through 2017(and beyond)
Video won’t play, which show was it from, Taiwan?
To be fair he’s been nailing Shadow consistently since they first started playing it.
Try this one.

You could do a terrible joke with Shadow and the hedgehog cocks, but I'll leave it out for our collective sake 
To come back to a serious tone, of course, Axl sounds worse than he did in his 20s/30s; he's getting old, and has to deal with things like nature getting in his way.
It will never be as awesome as it was in the late 80s/early 90s, but come on, they still manage to put on one hell of a show after all of these years and it is a feat that shouldn't be underestimated. The "pure" performances aren't the same, but the efforts and skill put to work are still very present.

The show in Abu Dhabi had to be closed in the middle. Axl was not well and the show was over.
Thank you Abu Dhabi! @axlrose pulled a damn miracle...the man was beyond ill, and pulled off something I've never seen in my 40 yrs of playing. You all pulled him thru. Til next time!

What’s a worse look - cancelling mid-set (still basically a standard length setlist) or cancelling the entire show before hand?
I feel like he will get more shit for cancelling in-show than pre-show...which I find odd.

They still played for 2 hours, and 20 songs. Sure it wasn’t the 3+ hour marathon, but he still gave it all considering he was sick. The guy is only human

Absolutely, credit for trying to battle through it.

Another thing. I did not understand exactly how the interview took place, but Axl did one in Abu Dhabi here has some parts:

Nah, general consensus is he handled it like a trouper. Audience still got like 2 hours worth of songs. There was one review where the guy was, like, "If Axl was ill they should've changed up the setlist to front-load the hits" which demonstrates a profound lack of understanding about the production of the tour. Yeah. Just rearrange all the pyro, the video clips, etc, on the off chance that Axl can't finish the show. He went into it hoping to finish the entire setlist, ffs.
