His voice just doesn't sound half as strong as it used to and he is notoriously a perfectionist with his tracks
I think Axl voice has always sounded a bit better in the record, even since the Illusions tour.
I highly doubt Axl is gonna do anyhting with his new GN'R. Its been how long, 4 years since he promised a Chineese Democracy, and I heard the song but there is no way he will get it recorded. Becides, everones gonna be listening to VR.
It certainly feels like its been more time, hehehe. I really thought that 2002/03 was gonna be finally the year, I mean if you can get a whole tour around the States, Canada and Europe certainly there shouldn't be a problem just releasing an album, don't you think? I don't understand what is taking so long. I really wish I could speak with Axl for 10 minutes.
However I will definatley keep the faith... 2005 has to be the year for chinese democracy!!!
