2002 VMA performance was a debacle?

[31illusions]

AXl said in the pre-show interview at the VMA"s, that the 2002 VMA performance was a mess and a debacle, why? I'm kinda new to this forum so i musta missed out why it was a mess. Can someone explain why he thinks that?

[Robman?]

The band was not completely prepared for the performance, and his voice wasn't as good as it is now. It's as simple as that.

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

because axl couldnt hear himself due to technical difficulties and didnt sound too good

Axl says it was due to the whole new band thing. I thought everything was kinda off that night. Overall I thought it was an exciting moment, but a very poor performance. ?

He just totally messed up Jungle. Maddy and Paradise werent too bad, but jungle was aweful, but the performance in general was cool. The audience went crazy

[31illusions]

did people tell him that his voice sucked? i know alot of people thought that.

[killingvector]

I thought the band sounded great.

Were they supposed to play Jungle in a different way? It seemed as though Axl's voice was the problem either due to bad monitors, windedness...ect.

exactly,axl blamed the band for the 2002 problems when the only problem was his voice.im as big an axl fan as anybody here so dont bash me when i say im sure even axl knows that the 2002 performance wasnt his best

yeah jungle was off, but ?i though maybe is was because it was a medly of songs therefore the songs were squeazed together. but by that time they had already been out playing, and they couldn't get it together? interesting.

[imsorry]

The true is Axl voice was bad at the time the band was playing for couple of years and the monitor excuse for who had done that before that era its just BS take the shit out of your ears and screaaammmmmmmmm but his voice is there now maybe even better cuz i was impressed with him in RAR.

That's a lie - look at his face in 2002 compared to his face now.

He's lost weight in four years, not a big surprise.

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

ok so his face might be a bit slimmer (due to his botox wearin off maybe) but he wasnt exactly fat was he.look at some or all pics of him from then.hes as thin as he is now

[31illusions]

Tell me something. I was thinking, when i was listening to a bootleg of "it taste good don't it" AXL said that he blew his throat out and a doctor wanted to do surgery on it. Could it be possible that at some point during axl's many, many years off, that he had throat surgery, and maybe thats why his voice sucked?

And then when she said she was gonna like, wreck my car, I didn't know what to do!

I have no idea about the botox...all I can say is that Axl looks to be a good 10 to 15 pounds lighter and in much better shape than in '02.  More importantly, he seems to be in a much "Better" frame of mind these days.  I think he knows GNR is just going to blow people away.   

[Axl_GNR]

everyone thinks Axl was fat in 2002 cause of the oversized jerseys, which will make anyone look fat, cause they're so wide. but axl was in the same shape then as he is today, just not sporting baggy jerseys

 i think if he thought that he would have released the CD long ago. It seems to me that (mostly fans) think the longer he waits the "Bigger" and "better" the album will be. I don't think that. I know the fans will by the new CD. but he will have to prove himself to get "NEW & NON" fans to by the CD. He's got his work cut out for him.
