Yes, My review was spot on of how I felt. U also have to keep it in context that i saw one of my all time heroes of 25 years for the first time ever like 10 feet from me and heard all the great songs i've grown up with.

so sure, def overwhelmed afterwards.

Now though, seeing they are supposed to be Moving Forward and still doing exact same show I saw, I am no longer a believer anymore.

Plus, YT on some of the ones here don't lie cause he simply has been standing in place ALOT more.

maybe the injuries or what not and his voice def doesnt sound like it did back in Nov.

I don't fault you for being all emotional with your review.  I just don't see a vast difference between youtube vids of today and last year.  Yet some people are acting like Axl has aged 20 years overnight.  I think it has more to do with frustration, than low quality performances.  You, and others, have admitted as much.  The Hall Snub, the lack of forward progress.  I get it, it can grate on people.

I said it before, I give them till this fall after this tour ends.  If there aren't signs of progression by then, even I may be at my wits end with this saga.

I think labeling all the Axl criticism that fans are butthurt after the RRHOF drama is getting old.

Fact is he aged more between 2006-7 and 2011-12, than between 2001-2 and 2006-7. He needs heavy doses of oxygen between the songs to even have him stand on the stage. Happens in life, especially in his age. Fact is that his voice is thin and doesn't have power. Fact is he's limited to less registers. Fact is that in most cases he seems to doesn't give a shit and wants to be somewhere else. Can it change? I do hope it. Time will tell. But if his latest performances are 'on point' than the future will not be bright.

Why oh why, does Axl continue to sing over the cool intro lead guitar these days, does he forget how the fucking song goes??? There's no singing in that bit!

And nothing beats Slash's guitar tone and feel for playing GN'R songs. At least to my ears.
