Not surprisingly I loved Slash's solos back in the day, although even I assume that when he had a bad night, those felt too long. Matt's drum solo killed the show every night, he's no John Bonham, and I couldn't bear the master's solos either. Duff's Attitude was good enough for 1 and a half minute.

With that said solos hit a new low with the new band. BH's nunchakus were more than boring, although his guitar playing was quite interesting. Robin Finck...well, that did hurt my ears badly. By 2006 we had 5-7 solos every night and they were boring as hell. When I saw them, it wasn't a good show, but every solo spot made it much worse, except Richard's and Robin's Beautiful, which was amazing.

Since then it's even worse. I know that Axl needs some time off the stage with his oxygen, but please, find a better way to kill the time.

Sickness is one of Axl's favourite excuses. Only evil and incompetent sound engineers and cancer people can rival that.

My criticism is not against him, it's for him. Every artist should be careful how to perform. If you're ill, but wanna show up, then choose songs you can actually sing only half bad. Patience was tolerable, since he was speaking and not singing. SCOM wasn't a disaster, just bad. So if you're such a "perfectionist" than you'd better have a minimum standard for your own performances.

Anyway, we've really beaten this to death. I will only continue if someone suggests that Axl sacrificed himself for the good and mankind with that show. I hope this will not happen though.

Don't put words into my mouth, please. I've never said that he can't sing anymore. I don't take your or anyone's word on an uprofessionally record show as a fact, or even as an opinion worth discussing. Sorry. I'm open to listen any soundboard recording, but nothing else, cause that's not enough to build your argument on. I also don't give a flying F about personal experiences. Live show miracle and the loudness can hide a lot. I'm not saying he wasn't better or he wasn't good/magnificent/etc in Vegas or the second Bridge night. Just an amateur shit will not prove it or the opposite.

My point still remains: such a shitty night like in the Bridge School CAN NEVER HAPPEN in a professional singer's career. Never. There is a difference between bad, very bad and Bridge School.

Anyway, still here hoping for him to deliver. I wish I would hear a professionally recorded great performance.

FYI I only care about pro-shot quality live GN'R recordings. I don't have the fanboyism anymore to search for and sit out different quality audience stuff. I just don't. Mostly because you can't judge the performance by the crappy sound. The crappiest the sound, the better Axl sounds.

Invasion, RAR, Rio, Bridge School and probably the London show if were not manipulated in the past months. That's what means anything for me performance wise. I watched the 2006 Invasion show and Axl was on a fire. That was a killer performance. Axl-apologists can say whatever they want, but he's lost more since 2006, than between 1992 and 2006. A professional artist can't afford such a shitty night he did at the Bridge School Benefit. C-A-N-T. It wasn't a bad night. It was awfully disastrous and an assault against Guns N' Roses nad his own legacy. Even my dogs sing better than he did. He would have been beaten to death at a karaoke night for sure.
