I wonder how Slash would rate them?

Yes, My review was spot on of how I felt. U also have to keep it in context that i saw one of my all time heroes of 25 years for the first time ever like 10 feet from me and heard all the great songs i've grown up with.

so sure, def overwhelmed afterwards.

Now though, seeing they are supposed to be Moving Forward and still doing exact same show I saw, I am no longer a believer anymore.

Plus, YT on some of the ones here don't lie cause he simply has been standing in place ALOT more.

maybe the injuries or what not and his voice def doesnt sound like it did back in Nov.

I don't fault you for being all emotional with your review.  I just don't see a vast difference between youtube vids of today and last year.  Yet some people are acting like Axl has aged 20 years overnight.  I think it has more to do with frustration, than low quality performances.  You, and others, have admitted as much.  The Hall Snub, the lack of forward progress.  I get it, it can grate on people.

I said it before, I give them till this fall after this tour ends.  If there aren't signs of progression by then, even I may be at my wits end with this saga.

For the first time ever, I feel like we're hitting HTGTH territory as far as post quality goes on gnrevo in this thread. Please guys, let it be. You don't agree, so fucking be it!

As for the the actual topic of  the thread: I think Slash's band is tighter and cleaner on this, the only problem is the mix: almost no guitar (or bass) besides Slash. I've notices this on his album as well, it's too unbalanced for it's own good. It highlights Slash's chops but takes away some of the power of these songs. I think we're seeing the same thing with PC in this clip. Two guitars and a bass guitar should be plenty enough to provide a wall of sound, and yet it seems to be lacking in exactly that area.

Oh, and Axl's recent set of vocal performances are near pathetic, including this one. He needs to get back in shape, he's not even moving around here anymore and he's nearly out of breath... Miles might sound obnoxious and nasal most of the time on the Slash & GNR tunes, but at least he's singing them instead of giving a heavy breather's rendition of the songs.
