Hmm. To be honest, I think trying to reincarnate GNR (in name only) is a bad move. GNR had a great run, came around at exactly the right time, with the exact right kind of music, and the exact right accompanying "rock and roll" attitude. This new band doesn't even remind me of GNR's sound. Axl's voice, earpiece or no earpiece, just wasn't right last night. Most importantly, Slash wasn't on stage. Come on. Slash was as big a part of GNR's sound as Axl.

I think it would have been better to have Axl just do a solo thing. If Izzy wants to contribute, that's fine, but to call this Guns N' Roses just doesn't make sense to me. Plus if it was a brand new thing with a new name, there wouldn't be as much comparison to the old stuff (though it wouldn't be bad if they did a few GNR "covers" now and then...)

I will enjoy watching things unfold, though.
