Yeah, I can dig all those tunes, actually.

Oh, god. The medley was so he could change costumes?!?

live and let die is pretty perfectly awesome!

Sweet Child made me spit coffee, so.

That performance is such a spectacular train wreck that it almost makes me want to see them.

Although the inclusion of a 3 minute plus piano-heavy Who medley with absolutely no vocals might be all the punctuation needed.

My god Axl has no business being on stage anymore.

i do love that they play Motivation from Stinsons first solo record. Great song.

Stinson is legit, folks. Check him out

sounds like years upon years of cocaine use completely collapsed his nasal cavity. maybe why he's always walking around with his mouth open, looking like an english bulldog

His name is Axel. And he is funky.

Significantly fewer laughs in the last 1/3.

Is it possible that it just takes him two hours to warm his voice up?!?

I do think that a lot of the fascination comes from the fact that so many GnR songs are like picture perfect templates of the late 80's desire to blend metal, drama club, and punk....they are like marble statues or something. So EVERY SINGLE TIME a new songs starts on this thing, you sort of get fooled into going "oh, shit yeah," for a span of 8 to 10 seconds. Thus, the terribleness is still a surprise every single time...even 90 minutes in.

Everyone who isn't a GNR diehard thinks Axl sucks nowadays, but no doubt there are countless casual music fans out there thinking the same thing about EV And CC. Age does most singers in. In their heyday on record, they sound great. Twenty years later in concert its a different story.
