...Axl looked so fucking ugly in 2002, seemed a poor man who pretended ta be a rock star?
when i saw him in 2001 i thought he didn't use ta wear so bad, it wasn't so bad but when I saw him at VMAs 2002 then i understood that something so fucking weird was happenin' ta his mind,
even i don't thik Axl's hair is honestly nice these days
,
maybe it's just cuz Axl n' Christina Aguilera go to da'same hairdressing salon?

I didn't think Axl was joking when he called the 2002 performance a catastrophy. I think he knows exactly how it went down, but who wants to go into the embarrassing stuff they've done. I think that's why he said what he said about the band... but he also gave credit to the crowd who were pumped that night, cheering him on.
I am a HUGE Axl fan, and I have to say, I cannot watch that performance. It makes me cringe. I thought that beginning scream was AWESOME, but I can't watch anymore after that. Personally, I think he might have blown out his voice because of that first scream. And Axl was definitely not fat. He had a bit of pudge around his waist, but who here hasn't gained weight as they've gotten older? Compare Axl to your average 46 year old guy and he wouldn't look fat at all.
Someone asked about throat problems... I read an interview years ago where Axl mentioned having polyps removed from his throat.

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
I disagree. Jungle was the only tolerable part. The final chorus was real bad. Madasgar was bad. and Paradise City, while axl was singing was a complete train wreck.
I thought the first verse in jungle was good.
The poor performance is why its a debacle.

Eh, I thought the performance was alright - Jungle was average, Madagascar sounnded great, but PC really sucked on pretty much all fronts.
An uneven performance, sure - But I don't think it was quite a debacle.

I personally think the band played almost perfectly, but it was in fact axl that was off. His voice was too high. he screwed up a lyric or two and ran around WAY too much. He tried to show he was still GN'R with members that no one had any clue who they were. But now that we know who they are, They're doing just fine.

Just watched it again, and these are my thoughts:
Welcome To The Jungle really was BAD on Axl's part, but the band sounded great.
On Madagascar the band and Axl sound amazing, especially Axl on some of the higher vocal parts. The "we end together" part still sends shivers down my spine!
But then Axl goes back to sounding really bad again on Paradise City. The band still sounds great though.
At the time it was originally shown, it was great to see Axl back and all, but his shoddy vocals definitely overshadowed all of that unfortunately. I actually thought at the time too that it may have been done on purpose by Axl - sing the old songs bad to make the new song sound better, but I highly doubt it...

That made me laugh. I highly doubt that too. I don't think he would purposefully make himself look stupid.

I truly believe you are not quite the full ticket mate! You need to take a long look at yourself before you post again! Some of your posts are not only very annoying and seem to be posted just to gauge a reaction, but they are incredibly odd! Just chill out and dont take life so seriously! Mike

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?
The only surgery Axl had on his throat was in 1988...before the tour with Aerosmith..

THE START OF JUNGLE BEFORE THE LYRICS - VERY GOOD...AFTER THAT...SHIT
MADAGASCAR WASN'T THAT BAD AT ALL....INSTRUMENALLY - EXCELLENT.....VOCALLY - EHH....OK
PARADISE CITY - HORRIBLE...
seriously...that was the BEST instrumental performance of Madagascar I have ever heard....just listen to it, even when Axl is singing....very, very dramatic and original....

Not to my knownledge...I have read almost every article and interview and newsclipping since I became a fan in 87'. That year was the only time that it was ever proven and talked about as far as Axl having surgery , unless I am forgetting something. If I am...copy and paste an article I may have missed....I think I am correct though.

That is strange since his voice actually started to get better and MUCH more consistent from mid 92 - 93...the end of the tour.

Yes....that one and one of the shows at Giants stadium with Metallica were the only 2 shows during that time where his voice was failing him.....Both were during the tour with Metallica....
...His voice sounded amazing during November Rain at the VMA'S in 92' though.
