Think what you want but it has already caused people to not want to go see them when they tour the US. Just ask a few of the members here who's friends have now declined and the few members who are now reconsidering going themselves. This happend last night. You seriously think that the press isn't gonna pick up on this? Ok than.
Point out to me one mainstream US press article about ANY of sets from this edition of Rock in Rio.

I am beginning to think this too. There was something really strange about him.
Yeah, the 2nd time I saw the NR performance, I noticed it. It's impossible to say without knowing him, but who knows, it wouldn't be the first time someone's personal issues have affected their work. If that's the case that he has something going on in his personal life.

Re: Guns N' Roses Live From Rock In Rio
I gotta tell ya...he is fucked up during November Rain. It does look sad, and it does look like he is about to cry at the beginning. The band sounds great...something happened.
I dont thnk he was crying I think it was more case of rain dripping down his face BUT he did look completey distracted during NR and the way he messed up the lyrics to NOVEMBER RAIN of all songs is very strange. Like Olorin said it's a very Britney Spears kinda meltdown.
Is it out of line to suggest maybe Axl was high on something??? I really think this may have been the worst performance of his career not because of lack of ability(which was admiteddly severely lacking lat night) but because of lack of presennce. I have never seen Axl Rose simply not there in spirit at a Gn'R show. he was NOT there last night.
I wonder if his lack of ability hurt his confidence and he simply checked out because of that. Would be an awful feeling as a performer to have a "Who am I kidding?" moment on stage let alone one of the biggest stages

Publications only come out once week at best! The festival JUST ended. Give it a week. You honestly think RS isn't gonna do a story on it? Gimem a break.
Re: Guns N' Roses Live From Rock In Rio
I thought he actually sounded pretty good on PC
Anyone catch that drug comment Axl made towards Tommy? A joke maybe?
I caught it and at first i thought it was a snide remark at Tommy for maybe screwing somethng up??? It sounded like a joke but at the same time it sounded like a mean spirited joke. I only heard it once though. haven't listend since last night.
