I think they will put RIR behind them and it will just be business as usual. At least this time they wont have us pesky losers on the internet ruining everything with our damn prying eyes, should be a great ol' night of rock n' roll!
Unless it rains, oh boy then the shit will really hit the fan

Havnt seen much coverage of the festival in general in the UK press, but coverage of Axl's appearence at said festival is making the news here... it aint pretty so I'm not going to bother posting it, we've covered it in depth here already

How much credit can we give him for finishing the show though, sure it was awful weather conditions and not much seemed to go right, he was upset by the end... but did they play for free?
If so then all the credit in the world to them, but then again were they not paid a with a rather hefty cheque for their ordeal? I'm not sure how Rock In Rio works, is it a charity? Was it free to get in to RIR 1 and 2? I think I remember something like that, but not really certain, mabye the original was a free concert...

Funny how a personality and how you run your messageboard can drastically change once you start getting perks from the band.... just saying.
There is a difference between correlation and a definitive causation.
We'll never know for sure.

Lets not talk about anymore, he's a douche, end of.
Its good to see some life back in the GN'R section, a thread hasnt made it this big since MSL was last trying to sell his wares. At least this ones actually about GN'R

Mabye theres like an exam you have to take to get in the club?

I'm not naive enough to think that anything I do or don't do will have any impact or sway in making Axl do anything.
I agree about HTGTH. The people left who post the Axlite posts is specifically because they think Axl reads that board. And licking jarmo's ass might be their "in" to Axl. Lame.
The funny thing is jarmo still gets these perks, but he has absolutely ZERO credibility, respect or sway among the GN'R fan community. It doesn't matter what he posts or deletes. People don't take that board serious anymore.
He makes my skin crawl, he'd throw his granny in front of a bus if it meant there was the chance to suckle on the teet of one of Axl's cronies.
The warped logic and psychotic elimination of opposing views over there is sickening.
Mabye thats an insight into the world of Axl, that kind of crazy fanatisism and distortion of reality cant just spring out of nowhere, cause it was an relatively open board of discussion beforehand, that methodology must have been drilled into jarmo from somewhere.

He has nearly a month's worth of shows before Orlando. He'll be much better off by then, both in terms of his physical and vocal conditioning. If he can sing as well as he did during the Canadian 2010 tour, I think it will be a great tour.

Seriously you dont see it? I dont want to keep going on about this, its kinda cruel, but folks acting blind to it is getting on my tits. If you cant see it...*deep breath - then howz about you count his chins compared to 2010, cause theres at least one more than the few that were there at the beginning of the last tour.
Yes, getting off his sofa for a while and performing will shed some pounds.
Yes, his vocals will no doubt improve as the tour rolls on... but fuck me, Axl looks worse than he ever has in his life. He might have been carrying a few extra pounds when he emerged to kick off the first tour in Asia, but he was still in powerfull form and spirits.This time its different, he's looks ill and his performance was bad (he's my favourite singer of all time, but that wont cloud reality -he stank the fucking place out) and on top of that he had a borderline breakdown on live TV.... but hey
Look at this picture posted on MyGNR. Honestly I do not see a noticeable difference between now and 2010. Maybe your impression of his overall performance is coloring your view of his appearance? Not saying that's wrong in any way, but it would be understandable.

I thought he started ok and went downhill, there was some good points and bad but I have no urge to watch any of it again except Estranged, it was a bad night at the office and did not sound good.
But I dont need to look a photograph - I was defending him here the other day when folk were taking potshots at him based on those first pics of him getting into the car, he didnt look much different (but the enormous baggy clothes seemed odd.)
The video doesnt lie though, its plain to see, and if he was a friend of mine I'd be concerned. Infact I have a couple of friends like that, and I've even been there myself... depressed and binging on drugs, booze and junk food and generally living a poor lifestyle, I look back a photos and cant beleive noone ever said anything - I looked like someone else, not unlike Duff when he was in a bad way with the booze and everyone was ignoring the drastic change in his appearance.

He was fat, slow, out of breath, and out of tune. He should have spent weeks preparing for the physical rigor of this upcoming tour. Instead, he shows up late and bloated.
I don't think these are simple fixes. US critics will crucify him for his appearance; and now because his singing is suffering too, he will be torn apart because of that as well.
Some have suggested that he will work himself in to touring shape. Well, there is a problem with that: word of mouth will work faster than his weight loss. This tour will be hurt by low ticket sales if Axl cannot achieve that level of indvidual success sustained in 06/07. Critics and audiences will not settle for half value at full ticket price. I don't even think the '10/11 version is good enough to impress audiences in the States.

I dont know if this has been posted but here are a couple of videos of the rehearsal, they intended to play Oh My God, maybe because of the rain they didnt.
Shit listen to Tommy's bass on OMG, wow

Discussion of the good and bad is fine by me, thats why I'm here, only when people start spamming every thread with the same spiel does it become a problem imo, and also I hate people whining about "whining" just as much.
I think Axls performance deserves to be scrutinised, I found it alarming, and anyone who doesnt see there is a problem needs their eyes and ears checked out, or just plain stop kidding yourself and start believing them cause they aint lying. Axl doesnt look well, I dunno why any fan wouldnt wonder and be concerned. Mabye we shouldnt be sitting here speculating on the hows and whys, I can certainly agree with that point of view, but to pretend its not there when its staring you right in the face... pffft get a grip.
