Very laid-back Axl. Mind you, this was the guy who was arrested for causing a scene at a Phoenix airport in '98, and socked a paparazzi in '09.

Burying the hatchet with Slash seems to have given him a new lease on life.

Yup, the G6 is what gives me the chills. Just a great demonstration of Axl's vocal range - when he gets it right.

Yes. In 2014, he was still on the rebound from that vocal low point of '11-'13. He was preserving his voice, skipping lines if it suited him. His focus was on powerful vocals instead of all vocals - a reasonable trade-off. But it's still recuperating the voice in public, which is less than ideal.

Obviously, he's been doing the work on the interim. Eversince the announcements came in, I said Axl would have to trailblaze his 2010 vocals to pull this one off - 2014 vox w/ Slash would be disappointing, because Slash would bring his A-game.

Currently, he's taken a big step in the right direction. Folks call the vocals good, period. It's going to be interesting - his foot injury and now, Axl/DC, have forced him to literally sit down and think long and hard about how his voice will manage. The man's in his mid-50's. He needs to keep it real.

They're being paid an obscene amount of money in today's standards. They'll take it. If you put it that way, I agree.

However, interest in a new Guns album just hit the biggest peak since '99. Axl's got an album in the can. Give Slash a week and he'll record quality solos to each and every track. One or two original tracks by this lineup and their King Animal is there.

Duff and Slash would love to do it. Axl's got very little to lose there.

You can leave with grace and dignity.

Thank you, Tommy, for '98-'14.
