@Mikka
Would you want to stand on stage next to a man with a mental age of 2 who has blamed you for the break up of the band and the inability for the group to reunite?
The chances of something bad happening accelerate with Adler up there unrestrained. Expect someone to make a crack at his expense.

Kid Rock was announced as a special guest a few days ago. Not tied to any particular inductee, but his presence seems to make sense now.

I don't have a problem with the decision. Certain members of the old band (*cough Adler *cough) have seemingly made this a risky venture for Axl. I think he feared an attempt to embarrass him or force into a performance or conversation that he does not want to have.
I am shocked he is turning down the award completely. He could have accepted it en absentia.
But now, I guess, we will get Kid Rock performing WTTJ or PC. Hopefully no Myles Kennedy.
PS. Steven Adler really should reap the lion's share of blame for his inability to keep his trap shut all these months. It was a volatile situation to start, but he made the situation unbearable.

I would have thought Robin could be asked to step in if Ron's health meant he had to take some time off.
Maybe this is a step in the direction of making sure they have a backup option. Or maybe it was just a cool moment between two old friends.

End of US leg blues for Ron or something else?

All reasonable explanations.

Different venues. Different fans. The practice is being carried out.
What are the constants in all of this?

Rogue security.......just don't buy that, especially since Axl has kicked out audience members holding up Slash shirts in the past.
Read the guy's post. GN'R is supposed to be anti-cameras, right? Axl posed for a picture for this guy, so did Ron. When did Axl actually throw someone out for wearing a Slash shirt? Please don't say RIR 2001 as you can't see the shirt the audience member was wearing from the pro-shot broadcast video.
Ali
I don't remember the exact show, but it was definitely post-Rio 01.
You assume that management passes this all through Axl. From what I recall, Slash was intercepted at the Hard Rock by management without any suggestion by the redhead.
I think there are issues that management chooses not to filter through Axl b/c these are issues regarding the artist's state of mind. The artist prepares himself for the show, focuses on the show, and executes during the show. Micromanaging is left to the tour and band management.
Do they always see eye to eye with the artist? Absolutely not.

I thought Axl was good, not great, not horrible. I'd give him a B or so. He was erratic, per usual.
I agree with your assessment of last night. But I think he's been more consistent overall in this most recent round of touring than not.
Ali
The helium voice has crept back in, unfortunately. The Blues is usually a stand out, but it was pretty bad last night.
I loved You're Crazy, This I Love, Sorry, and LALD....but then there was a lousy Estranged, Blues, Brownstone, Jungle, and CD.
Very uneven. I agree with that assessment.
