Re: Axl Rose being timeless - do you agree?
When I saw him at all the concerts I went to last year, he really commanded the stage as he did back then. His voice on the three songs from Baz's album is really on point. I am going to wager that it will be for the songs on CD as well. Hopefully we will get to hear it.
But man, when he did the open to Jungle in those concerts it was like being transported back in time 
Re: Axl Rose being timeless - do you agree?
As I mentioned in the "one of the greats" thread, Axl belongs in a very exclusive club of entertainers. Looks, ability, energy, controversy - he got it all. He literally got the audience in the palm of his hand.
In hindsight it's an absolute shame what happened to the original band. Had they gone on they would have been right up there with the Stones and Zeppelin in terms of public opinion, and Axl would have been hailed as the true artist that he is.
Axl Rose is one of the few who receive criticism not because he is hated, but because he is loved. Many feel bitter and jaded about him flushing such a special thing down the toilet.

Axl's one of the greatests without a doubt. My personal favourite 
But he doesn't have the same energy on stage he used to have. Unfortunately last time I saw him was a bad day, and he wasn't good, but proved that he's still great other times.

I saw GNR in 1993 and a few times in 2007 - and I must say - although Axl's peformance is different now...as WAR descirbed...he most definately has not lost it. In fact..the strong sence I got watching the 07 line up has how Axl's talent was a level above the rest of the stage (no offence to them) - but you know when you see Axl its someone really unique.
