Axl and Slash were unbeatable back in the day. Along with Duff and Izzy and Stevie. I loved the Illusions tour lineup too after Izzy left with Matt Sorum on drums and Gilby Clarke on guitars. And I actually love Chinese Democracy and listen to it a lot and saw them rocking in 2006, twice. They're talented and it's great seeing Axl rock it again ... and he did rock it hard on stage. Fucking incredible. I've also seen Velvet Revolver twice too and they blew me away too. Slash is my freakin' hero! lol
But ... this was the heyday of G N' R (late 80's and early 90's) and they were the biggest and best band in the world. I listen to Guns N' Roses every single day. EVERY single day.
To remind yourselves of how good they were ... listen to Appetite for Destruction, GnR Lies (Or if you're luck enough to own it, Live Like a Suicide too), Use Your Illusion I and II, The Spaghetti Incident. ALL awesome AWESOME albums!
