We did that with Metallica's version of So What?

Anyway, the gnfr.com website and darknemus meeting Axl's girlfriend. Anyone?

This is what I don't get.

Based on subsequent posts, you flip and flop around the issue of Myles' singing. You admit you don't like it either, then you wonder why people averse it so much they quit on the album.

Some people just focus on the vocals, and the lyrics, more than you do. To them, the frontman's the first in defining what they think about the song. None any different than you (I assume) feeling out the guitars on your first listen.

They hear Myles. You hear Slash.

They dislike Myles' nasal singing, in their words anyway, instead of him not being Axl. You're just pulling the Red into this discussion for no particular reason, as no-one is exactly comparing Myles to him.

Myles & Slash made an album, swell. Myles needs to face the music.

"You can say it's my fault, but to me it's like if you're on a plane and somebody trips you and the air marshal arrests you for falling — like it's my fault for allowing somebody to trip me?" - Axl

In this example, Axl falls. He gets arrested. Axl goes, 'I was tripped'. His word doesn't count for much, his behaviour, on the other hand...

Guns is moving forward. Something goes amiss. Other people with vested interests (promoters, label, etc) jump in. Axl flies off the handle and blames somebody else.

Summer was not considered a good season for theatrical releases until Jaws broke out in 1975. It took a few years for the studios to catch up and people to accustom to it, hence around 1980 the trend had pretty much settled in.
