I watched the YouTube video of estranged, thx to whomever posted it.

Don't want to watch the rest, maybe TIL later.

Honestly though. You don't rehearse with your band. You miss your flight then turn up to rio looking like a grumpy teenage who's just been dragged off the couch by his mum.

Axl is probably paid more for that one performance than we will see in a lifetime. He's had more 'holiday' In the past year than we'll also get. He's got access to personal fitness instructors and vocal coaches.  He should've turned up like a prize fighter.

I'm so surprised promoters put up with this, but not surprised at all that the record company can't be bothered.

You simply can't turn up to tour and do your practice in the first few shows. I agree with the 'man up' sentiment.

Quick poll, what would you prefer them to play, a new song or estranged?

Finally, I don't think moustaches do Axl any favours, they just make him look a bit silly

Thinking out loud here.

If 'the general' is a big rocker, maybe they should take a risk and open the show with it. People are so excited at the start, with the pyro and lights coming on maybe just maybe it might pay off. Better than announcing a new song half way through the set.
