It's a sad day for you, Axlite.

They'll make it, for the fans and don't give a shit about those who are too coward to be there. And that's how it should be.

Yes, they DARE to play, cause in your eyes and in some others' it's a vice and an insult against Axl.
It is not. It's respect. They respect their past and their fans.
Getting there would be enough promotion. In this case they risk a lot with playing without Axl, and probably with another singer the public doesn't really know.
You need to wear rose-coloured glasses to accuse them of self-promotion. I guess they'll be sell-outs is a few posts. That's the mentality that makes me sick.
They are there and they will be playing. You can boycott them for this and buy another hundred copies of CD to support Axl. You can accuse them of any Axlite nightmare bullshit. Good for you, just keep on the Jarmoish way.
I don't care. I don't care about Axl, Dizzy or whoever else not going, either.
They will make my day. Very likely. Even Izzy seems to man up and play with the others. But I hope that Gilby will get the chance to play with them, too, cause as it seems, he went to Cleveland in the minute they called him, although he doesn't even get inducted and could hold a grudge against the others for different reasons. But he's there. What a class act.

The first song I heard by Guns N' Roses on the radio. I had heard SCOM and WTTJ before, for sure, but this was the first time I knew it was a song by Guns N' Roses. Nightrain... well, I didn't like it first. It was in 1989, I was 12, and the hardest music I liked was Bon Jovi. I listened The Beatles a lot, Phil Collins, and still some Pet Shop Boys :haha:
But Nightrain someway struck me. I thought it was too heavy and the singer couldn't sing... I even made fun of Axl's 'loaded like a freight train' part, that he's trying hard to sing 'nice', but he just can't. You know, it wasn't that sweet singin' I was used to, it was angry, blood-thirsty, agressive and very raspy. I didn't like it, but something made me listening it again and again... then found out they have other songs, like SCOM and WTTJ... I went to our local music store, it was in 1989 in Hungary, we were still under the Soviet Union, so it wasn't easy to buy an American band's record... they surprisingly had one album, Lies, and I bought it. I was disappointed, cause none of the songs I loved made this album. I confess I didn't really like Lies, especially the 'G side' - the 'R side was more of my then music taste. Not much later I bought a pirate copy of AFD from a friend of a friend, who bought it in Italy... the rest is history.

A riot in St Louis. But I love that short show. They all were high on different drugs, it was their sloppiest day in the UYI times, but for me... it's Guns N' Roses, too.

Two of my favourites from that gig:
