His mic doesn't have issues, his voice does. The sound is set that way for a reason...all it takes is 5 seconds for the sound guy to fix it if Axl wants it fixed.
i agree with you when it comes to the fluctuation in volume for axl's voice. he has always had issues with running out of breathe, although, i think hes actually getting better or smarter at using his breathe wisely these days as the old voice naturally becomes a bit weaker.
as far as you suggesting it is on purpose that the volume be down on weaker songs or performances i don't agree completely.
in '02 i went to the gig in mn and witnessed firsthand an example of it being technical issues. we could not hear him at all where we were sitting and we eventually moved to the floor where we could hear him perfectly all throughout the rest of the show.
in '09 we couldn't hear him throughout jungle but as the crowd quieted down his volume was perfect throughout the show. one of his better performances so no need to turn the vocals down. so this is more and example technical staff unable to properly adjust than proof of him not hiding a weakness.
as far him hiding his weaker vocals it is possible but there are instances on youtube where you can hear him perfectly in more difficult vocal parts and he is almost non existent in others instances of the same songs from the same shows, prostitute and catcher included. there are times when you can hear him and then all of the sudden you cannot. i don't think he is being turned down. i think he is simply out of breathe and cannot compete with everything else going on. this happens mostly with the upper ranges where he uses clean vocals in the studio. he has wisely inserted rasp in these parts as in the versus of TIL.

although selling out is opionion
i disagree that U2 sold out based on two facts:
1-they have never have been afraid to make experimental albums.
2-they were big long before the albums started sounding a bit more poppy.
and now that we're sharing tributes to other artists, here's mine:

If we put up a poll for every lineup of the band and you could only vote for one, would any lineup get 50%? AFD, UYI I (Izzy and Matt), UYI II (Gilby and Matt), and how many different CD versions. And there's always the one or two crazy people voting for poor Ole.
Im not so sure about that. The appetite line up is all that matters
Nah, like I've said before, the only two people who matter, as far as selling tickets and connecting with the general public and the media are concerned, are Axl and Slash; they're the iconic members of the band. People believe the original line-up of GN'R broke up in 1996, because that's when Slash left, even though Duff was still in the band and even though Izzy, Gilby and Matt had left long before.
Ironic, really, that they're the only two people in the band who hate each other's guts. Axl gets on perfectly well with Duff, Steven, Matt and Izzy. But he could team up with all of them and the idiot public would still go, "Eh, it isn't GN'R without Slash." Even though Izzy wrote the fucking songs, his departure wasn't viewed as being as important as Slash's.
Conversely, Axl could go on tour with his current band and sub in Slash for any one of the guitarists, and the idiot public and press would be going, "Wahey, Guns N' Roses reunion!"
In conclusion, people are idiots.
hilarious

Favre is not free of blame in all of this but there is no doubt that the majority of this is media driven.
Favre supposedly sends a text to a teammate, visanthe shianco, saying "this is it" and before you know it you have retirement claims, favre demanding more money claims, etc.
to me "this is it" between 2 players at the beginning of training camp sounds more like a motivating sentiment than a retirement speech but it could mean just about anything and who announces their retirement in such fashion.
Favre also responded in less then 24 hours, denying the text and that he is retiring.
Based on how well Favre has played the last three years in contrast to the packers wanting to go with Rodgers and the subsequent surgeries favre has needed in order to play I can understand Favre's difficulties in making the decision to play or retire on each occasion.
the last 2 offseasons in a row, however, he has been pretty consistent and upfront, after receiving the surgeries, that he will play if and when he knows he is going to be healthy.
yet when reports come out in a couple of weeks that a doctor has looked at favre's ankle and cleared favre to play, the headlines will read "favre unretires again".
