Yeah, i think they have a subsistence level possible from legacy fans like us.

Like I will go listen to any new release from GNR, Motley, Aerosmith, Ac/Dc and a handful of other acts I've liked for years, but it's hard to see them putting out a new November Rain or You Could be Mine and getting the kind of cross over event cultural impact they had back in the day.

I suspect rock music will return eventually, but when it does, it will be the kids who bring it back in and not the previous generations I think.

Yeah it's annoying because I don't have a record player in my car!

I use Spotify these days just for convenience.

What do i know, but I feel like the end of the scream gives it away, like it sounds like Axl at first but as it comes out of it back down into the lower register it sounds like a different tone to Axl's lower voices.

Well we'd always heard talk of Yoda and Axl screening people's aura before they work for him, rumours he thought himself or slash possessed and all this kinda stuff.

I put it down as fan crazy talk mixed with a bit of "Axl is an unusual guy".

But then I read later in one of the autobiographies, I think it was Alan Niven's book (but its been a while) , where he casually mentions going down south to meet up Izzy to try and regroup things (I forget where it was without re-reading it but it was something like Louisiana or New Orleans where Izzy had shot through to) and he mentions casually that Izzy was there getting some voodoo spell cast on Axl.

To me this puts a different spin on Axl's behaviour too, like sure he's quirky with belief stuff, but it's sort of forgivable to be a bit quirky when dudes are actively cursing you or whatever in their spare time I guess what I mean is - whether or not it actually works - it's not just that Axl thinks the spiritual world is after him - one of his best mates actually IS trying to put spells on him. Sort of spreads the odd behaviours more evenly if you see what i mean. 

On a side note, it's actually kinda weird how many bands have at some stage fooled around in such things, like Motley did some stuff, Megadeth did some things, I guess it was a fad in the 1980s but it's weird these days to read about this stuff as if its a normal thing to go do.
