Axl will make or break this tour. I've seen some videos of him with his new GNR band and he looked and sounded bad. He looks like goddamned carrot top. If people are shelling out 400 bucks for tickets on the secondary market and he can't deliver the goods, this tour will go down as one of the biggest jokes in rock history.
All things aside, though, I watched some early 90's show footage of their on Youtube. They were a menacing live act all the way. Like a punk rock club act playing football stadiums. The real deal. That will be incredibly tough to replicate for a bunch of dudes in their 50's.
i believe axls throat is what helped put metallica on the map.
Metallica opened for GnR axl then canceled due to a soar throat and metallica came out and did another full set for the fans...
