[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

If he did mean that, he should go and burn all of his GN'R CDs.

First off, NCrazy didn't say or suggest that in any way, shape or form.

Second, why do all you negative ninnies think that the rest of us can't totally enjoy GNR in 2014 and 1986 GNR and everything in between? 

[Gaymo, the Hobbit]

I also enjoy both generations. But there are some things you just can't say.

NCrazy didn't say it.  D-GenerationX did (even though it had absolutely nothing to do with what NCrazy was saying).

If someone says something positive about GNR 2014, people like D-GenerationX and others twists it into something it ain't.

So there was some other way to take this :

How come when many of us say we think His voice is as good or better than "back in the day" we are labeled as  in denial? I couldn't care less about just always saying Axl sounds awesome-as pointed out - his high rasp sounds awful at the riot show- sounds real rough on the UYI vids from Japan & is again horrible at times at the Ritz - I think his voice is way more powerful, holds notes longer & is just more listenable then back in the day.

Come on now.

But this is exactly what I was talking about in the another thread.

No one comes here and just posts "wow, Axl sucks."  All my devious twisting is in response to someone else's comment.

He asks why people think he's in denial.  Well, its right there.  That is why.  Suggesting his voice is more powerful and just more listenable now versus then is going to get you that sort of label.  That will be the extreme minority opinion from now until the end of time.

But it was also pointed out how there were just as many criticisms (vocals & music) of live performances back in the day as there are today.

I'd bet if you listened back to the '88 Ritz and '92 Tokyo shows, you can find 20 seconds of the band being "off" in your opinion too!

Agreed!  He went from 2010 December (all out) to Rio 2011 (lost it)

Of course his performance are no where near the energetic- psycho frantic- angry  pace & style he had back then. He has mellowed just a bit with age & yes slowed down- but in any case you can't take your eyes off him when he's on stage- for 30 years he has been giving it everything he has got up there & is ALWAYS ELECTRIFYING! That I think we can all agree upon

Wait, you think what we are hearing this week is better than the Ritz '88 or Tokyo '92 shows?

Thanks for proving NCrazy's point so quickly!   

  Absolutely! You did prove my exact point very quickly indeed- You took my words an immediately jumped a mile the wrong direction - Ya I am burning my Old Gnr CDs now because this weeks shows make those pale in comparison- WTF Dude? Where the hell did u get that from? It's pretty funny a actually because that Ritz Show on MTV in 88' was the first time I had ever seen GnR Live in any capacity- I was so shocked, amazed & inspired by what I was seeing & hearing on that stage - I was blown away by the intensity emanating from The entire band but especially Axl- I lived in a small, very boring town at the time but I had about half the show on Vhs that I must have blasted from the big screen TV hundreds of times just to get a feel for that intensity & excitement missing from my life even just from a lousy VHS over just a TV. It made me feel alive & established what would be now about a 30 year love for being entertained by my favorite Lead singer & best songs of all time. But yeah, I noticed Axl was losing his voice a lot & was  not anywhere near pulling off how incredible he sounds on Appetite. I have many DVDs & have been to shows in both eras & I wittohout a doubt prefer his style of SINGING from between 2006-2012- havent really heard much of 2014 to have an opinion. I was absolutely fucking floored & still in mind blowing awe of what I witnessed in London 2010 as well as Greensboro 06'. In no way shape or form did I say that I have not been astonished & massively entertained & inspired by my favorite singer- band & songs for the last 25 or so years so stop twisting my fucking words for your own baffling reasons please! Btw; u still didn't answer my question
