Damn that was something.. there were weak parts, but all in all there was one thing that ran through my head the whole time: Go solo!
Drop the whole GN’R-wild-rockers-guitar-solo-screaming vibe and go solo. Fuck it, he's not a 20 years old rebel anymore, and don’t have to run on the stage with the “Rock n’ Roll Axl costume”. At 60, and with the different class he has these days, I’m sure it’ll open him for a whole new crowd.

At the right location (capacity and sound-wise) and enough rehearsals, I’m sure he’ll find the right tone and arrangements.

Because he could

If were in his place, wouldn't you?

That would be amazing, if Axl can sing the more intense parts of Coma and YCBM, hell, maybe he can do DDM.

A bit off topic, but I've always thought it'd be interesting to hear a bluesy slowed down version of the song (even a good YouTube cover)

Genuine is exactly what it it, genuine and raw.
I don't think the band liked it, though, I remember Slash talking about it and how much fuck ups they had or that they were sloppy or something..

Which is exactly why I fucking love the Ritz concert!

Edit: In those quotes from 88-89 it seems that they all had issues with the show, only later they're taking in favor of the show.
