    Not sure that I see anything really blatant in this footage. In large venues it is not all that unusual to have the visuals not quite synced up with the audio.

    I'm sure his unbearable shrieking is genuine.

    Do you realize the article you link is 6 years old? Has there been any credible reason to believe this is true now?

    A long time ago, a friend of mine said Axl Rose sings like Edith Bunker. I haven't been able to listen to him since.

    I think Axl lip synchs to recordings of mating howler monkeys...

    Ethel Merman, actually.

    Axl Rose does not lip sync at the GnR concerts. I know some of the staff who work the current tour and I know through them that he is singing throughout the entire show.

    Tom Waits used to be compared to Ethel Merman & Louis Armstrong, so I'd consider that a compliment

    Given the amount we have heard from the reunion shows and the stint with AC/DC I'd say it's a ridiculous assertion. In fact his voice sounds pretty good. I can see where your average proghole would object to him, being he's not surrounded by angelic waves of Jon Anderson space karma. Get over your early 90s butthurt. Due to not touring incessantly his voice is in very good shape.

    I object to him because he is an abusive, narcissistic dick

    See, now that's sound grounds for disliking.

    The inspiration for his songs were beating his girl friends. That pretty much puts him in dick status

    I think Axl sees himself as the tragic character in "Without You", going up in flames as he plays on the piano. In reality, he's the drunk, crazy uncle who shows up at Timmy's party at Chuck E Cheez and starts a riot by hitting on some cousin's baby daddy's ex-girlfriend...

    Sorry, but I don't consider Guns 'n' Roses to be at all Prog. If you do that's fine...

    Is there anyone who doesn't think Welcome To The Jungle sucks?

    It makes Van Halen's Panama seem like Mozart.
