You're gonna see Axl and Slash on the same stage.  I have to wait for Atlanta, and it doesn't bother me in the least.  Whether its the first show, 4th, 27th, its something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime, ever.

I think viability goes beyond just whether they can manage to work together - frankly after all this time, I think that's probably a minor issue amongst the guys.  Viability lies in whether Axl can return to 2006 ish form.  That said, if he's seriously considering the ACDC thing, you have to assume he's back in shape and expects to be able to put on a hell of a show.  Let's hope so.  I saw him twice in 2011 and both were great performances.  Its been pretty hit and miss over the years though, and something as big as this reformed GNR requires Axl be the Axl we all know is in there.

I'm as excited as anyone that this is finally happening, but I'll be the one to say it - No show is worth those prices.  If you're absolutely loaded, sure why not, but I can not imagine why the average person would bother.  It'll be all over the internet anyhow.

Nobody "fakes" a deep voice.  As someone with a really deep voice - if I talk to someone I just met, it probably gets mentioned 98% of the time and its really annoying - I can tell you that we have a very wide range of speaking tones.  It changes a great deal even within the same conversation.  My voice is very similar to Axl's voice in the Famous Last Words interview with Kurt Loder, for example, probably slightly lower.

That last statement is what really excites me.  It seems pretty clear that this iteration of the band is just that - a band.  One intended to produce, and that is more than I would have ever dreamed of.
