Sure it’s better to hear him to sing in a lower key, but are we supposed to ignore that he’s completely out of time for most of the song…?
Time for them to stop touring and focus on the studio. Hopefully there’s still some magic left in the tank.
Are there other examples where he’s out of time or are we basing it off of 1 song they performed for the first time ever? I’m not saying he sounds great but I’m not ready to condemn him over being behind performing a song he’s never sung live before or possibly even rehearsed with the band.
This isn’t the first instance this has happened. I’ve seen several videos over the years where Axl is often out of time with the band. Whoever is doing his in ears needs to be fired, or maybe Axl is just losing his marbles?
Whatever it is, it sounds horrible, and shouldn’t be happening almost 10 years into this reunion tour.

#13 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl: I would play the new songs but haven't received a marketing plan » 16 weeks ago
Let’s not forget that Duff said about 6 months ago that “new music is coming out sooner rather than later”
I’d love to know what kind of a world they live in where 6 months and counting is “soon”

What is Thunder and Lightening meant to be?
That’s a cover of the excellent Thin Lizzy song. Speculated to be for Duff’s solo spot, but there is so much great dual guitars in that, it could easily be a Slash/Fortus show off.
As for the setlist picture, yes, it’s legit. So Atlas is listed, meaning we’ll probably get it this year. Why still no Monsters is fucking bizarre though. They’re sitting on gold with that unreleased track

He mentioned that on a recent Instagram post he made too. At least we know, even if it’s delayed until 2026, it’ll still come out.

Todd Kerns recently mentioned on an Insta post that SMKC5 would come out in 2026, so if GNR are going to do something, 2025 is the window to do it.
What’s the chances that we get the next SMKC album before the new GNR album though. I’d say that’s a safe bet.
#17 Re: Guns N' Roses » Isaac Carpenter is the new drummer » 25 weeks ago
Good luck to him. I just hope that Isaac has better chemistry with Slash and Duff, than Frank did.
The drumming has always sounded off to me with Frank up there. Sometimes it even sounded like a train wreck…

Josh Freese could still be a possibility, even if it’s just these shows this year. Foo Fighters aren’t doing anything anytime soon, as far as I know. I think Grohl is still hiding from the public due to his infidelity.
I remain genuinely baffled that Grohl's infidelity is an issue. He's a rock star, for crying out loud, it's practically in the job description.
Yeah, infidelity is definitely a rock star thing. I just think that Dave has always portrayed himself as the nice guy or good guy of rock, and most definitely a family man. So this taints all that.
And while infidelity isn’t so much an issue, it’s weird for him to do it this late in his career with grown up daughters, who are also a little bit in the spotlight with him, and probably thinking “Dad… WTF???”
It’s kinda bizarre…
Speaking of bizarre - though in typical GN’R style, they’ve gone for NOT Sorum or Adler, but Duff's old Loaded band mate?
Hope he has better chemistry with Slash and Duff than Frank (n)ever did.

#20 Re: The Sunset Strip » Slash and Duff to play at Ozzy's "Back to the Beginning" show » 31 weeks ago
Shame Axl can’t make an appearance. But it’ll be interesting to see what Slash n Duff play.
