Baz is Baz he isn't going to change his style it's pointless to keep going on about that.   Axl guested on these songs as a favor to Baz, this isn't a GNR album that will need to get reviewed as such.   If you like 80's music, I can't see how a band of today making 80's sounding music would get bashed for not moving on, if you liked Skid Row with Sabastian I can't understand how you would not like him now.   His following of fans love the fact he hasn't changed his style and they will be the core of him selling albums not Axl and IMO if the albums sales do horrendous, it will only be people that are already complaining that will blame Axl for the poor album sales when it's not Axl that should make or brake the sales.

I also agree that Axl does come in, in an odd way but that scream is awesome!
