I clicked the link thinking "How bad could it be?"

The answer is very, very bad.

That was really bizarre.  Makes you really appreciate Scott's talent considering Axl is just as accomplished of a singer (of course moreso in his prime) and he really does a poor job here.

Axl's ruined his voice. His singing style that makes him so unique is just absolute hell on the vocal chords. Even GnR songs sound thin and flat these days. Add to that the fact that Scott's range was well below his, and you get a complete shitshow.

I really wish VR had continued on with Myles. Then they could play both GnR and VR material, and probably write some interesting new stuff. But then I guess Slash and Duff wouldn't be making nearly as much money as they are now.

Are they making big bucks on the GNR tour? I heard they're not getting paid very much, that's why Izzy didn't come back.

I thought Izzy turned it down because Axl, Slash, and Duff were unwilling to give him a share equal to theres.


Whatever the case, there is no way Slash would be on this tour this long if he isn't making more than he was as his own headline. And this tour has made hundreds of millions of dollars... Whatever Slash's pecentage, the actual number is quite substantial.

Found this online. I think the guys are doing fine financially.

By the end of 2016 the band had played for over 1.8 million people and grossed $192 million. The 2017 European and North American legs of the tour sold one million tickets just 24 hours after going on sale in late 2016. The tour was the highest earning per-city concert tour in 2016, making $5.5 million per show, as well as the fourth highest grossing tour of 2016. The tour has of now surpassed $480 million in gross revenue.

This whole GnR reunion has been a massive letdown, in every possibly way, considering how long awaited and hyped up it was. Don't understand why they wouldn't give Izzy a fair cut, or why neither Sorum or Adler were invited either (ok, I can understand Adler but not Sorum). And if they really felt Izzy was asking for too much, I'm sure at least Gilby Clarke would've taken less?

I was an enormous GnR fan back in the day, and between the state of Axl's voice and the absence of multiple key members of the original lineups, I've had no desire at all to catch them live.

When STP had a cookout after filming the video for the Core single "Plush," Weiland made jerk chicken that was "spectacular," Dean raves.

The year they reunited, they made more than any tour that year as I recall.
