I am just happy he showed up and completed the show...

I really don't understand what his weight has to do with anything, and it makes me really sad that even the 'media' has decided to focus on his looks. Who the hell cares? Yeah, when I saw the first couple of pictures of him I was like um, but it's still Axl Rose. Or at least something resembling Axl. I think he's lost ad doesn't know how to find his way back. There is still a good man under that shell someplace. And while I don't want to see him half ass or screw up any more than the next person, I am just thankful to still have him here and be able to see him sing. Even my husband doesn't get it, bit that's okay by me. When I hear there is a tour going on, I know I have to go, because there's no promise there will be another. I am sad that Axl wasted so many years doing a lot of nothing. He is very talented and is a great singer and showman. It sucks that we only have a handful of what I feel he is capable of producing. As far as Rio goes, it really hurt to watch it. He started the night off not so good, then kicked all sorts of ass, and by the end it was like he had enough. But he still pulled off PC and finished, and I give him credit for that. I'm not about to try and figure out what was going on with him. I hope it was just something like he had a bad day, or maybe he wasnt happy with what was going on. I really hope he is okay. I am still excited about the US tour, and I am also cautious because I know he's got more shows to get through before he gets here. I hope he shows us that he still can in fact kick ass.

For the record, I do have an Axl poster from lord knows how long ago. I'd say 12 years or more. And I'd plaster a poster of him from Rio on my wall too if I got my hands on one.
