I enjoyed it   Put the other acts to shame in my eyes, it was kind of a mess of an awards show, but Axl put life back into that place. Wonder what happened during TIL? Looking forward to seeing the full outro of NR later, when it comes on tv.

Sure some parts were not vocally perfect, but what do you expect? I think he did well  

I wondered if Better took a lot of his breath away so going into a quieter song he struggled to maintain his voice. Like when you run & you stop & try to talk you find it hard to get the words out inbetween puffing and panting.

I thought I saw some male on stage, hefty guy but when the camera panned out it was just the band. Maybe that was the NR incident, I also thought I saw a fight in the audience but later thought they were just dancing & mucking around seeing as nothing was said.

Anyway congrats to Axl, and what a great view of their performance we had.

Great to see Axl getting some credit. I manged to catch KOHD and PC, I thought he sounded great and the band was proper tight as usual.

I missed it because i had to go to work (i do it free, cause im a intern, so its super fun to leave home at 6 am, for ''work'')

Anyways, i hope to find the ceremony somewhere in the internets soon.

im actually surprised they didnt restart sweet child, it sounded bloody awful.

- Dice's and Cage's intros were so full of truth and so real and cool!
- Easy and Jungle were faster, killers!
- Axl was in very good shape and at least for me one spectacular moment was Axl and 4tus at Knockin' On Heaven's Door!
- It's a shame there were a few mistakes here and there (TIL and SCOM) but then again.. if mistakes weren't allowed GN'R wouldn't have any fan left after Ritz '88 and, then again (again! lol), live acts are live acts and shit happens!
- So good to see Axl receiving something he deserves after so many years of negative crap. I hope he gets more awards like this in the future because he deserves.
- Cool to see Duff but I miss Tommy, it's a shame he wasn't there!

It's been a long time since ive been a happy GNR fan but watching this show and hearing Axl voice back and Duff back well i cant complain.

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

Axl's voice, especially on This i Love, is horrible.
Anyone who says otherwise is either deaf or lying to himself

+1 agreed, I felt uncomfortable watching it! I know this forum likes it "keep it positive" but come on guys! He didn't sound good

[nick6sic6]

indeed,his voice was a bit off.compared to what we are used to.But the overall appearance is great.

I wonder why Nicolas Cage presented the award.He made many great films but now he is a has-been.
He'll play in the next Expendables films,i'm pretty sure   

Anyway,the whole Golden Gods experience was positive.

I had fun watching it.... Axl sounded... about the same as usual lately...his short speech was also about what i expected... he seems uncomfortable in that kind of situation...not his thing, but he did seem to be honored by the acknowledgment.  Duff definitely got the biggest crowd reaction i thought...rightfully so for the King of beers


big Nic Cage fan so that was really cool

as far as what happened with DJ and the SCOM intro..............sigh........

[D-GenerationX]

DJ's guitar tech hung him out to dry on SCOM.  Pretty inexcusable.

I thought Axl was hit or miss, which, is pretty much what we get from him these days.

Yeah, what's up with DJ lately? I thought he was great when I saw them a couple of years ago and was kinda eating my words about him a bit, but with the Patience solo and SCOM intro he's really looking a bit useless at the moment IMO. Nevermind the Monster Energy tops and the Slash-esque top hat!

Right. If someone says Beverly Hills 902010 is a better show than Breaking Bad, thats also a different opinion, but it's still false.

I find those hating on him to typically way the hell over the top.  But that's because I don't care what he wears, or how stands, or any of that other dopey shit.

But whatever the hell he did on 'Patience' at that one show was just bad.  It was bad guitar playing.  And while I think his guitar tech clearly fucked him over for SCOM last night, ultimately, its on him.  He's gotta have that shit in order.
