Read up otto...
I would be at work the next day...but that's just me. It's this thing called work ethic.
I was reading on the phone, laying on the bed, may have missed some spots! 
About ethics... I won't go on with that because if we do that, we'll be soon offending each other and that's not needed, at all.
Re: Besides the leg, a fractured shoulder..
Axl being Axl got something to do with his mental sides, nothing to do with a fractured shoulder. Axl can play 50 gigs with a fractured shoulder, but not one if his head isn't where it's supposed to be.
Completely agree with this.

Props for not being a pussy? Only in the world of Axl Rose...
Nah I think it's more praise for with the injuries he had he didn't take a night off. I'm not prasiing him for sticking to the tour, it's just to not miss a night is pretty decent for an aging rockstar who's led a life of luxery ya know. And being who he is what's it to him to take a night off or cancell a show. It's cool that he didn't.

Yeah but if you have an off day at work because of that injury it's not going to be all over the internet!

If your shoulder causes you to not be able to sing, you deserve to have it all over the internet. Singing isn't rocket science, especially how hit and miss Axl is live anyway.

I disagree.
Axl's not singing in the shower or at the local karaoke bar. He's performing at an elite level and having to be captivating enough to maintain the attention of thousands of spectators at once.
Singing, especially GNR style songs with extreme high pitches and lengthy passages that require extensive breath control, is an intensely physical activity.
It's not beyond the realms of possibility that if under significant physical pain - such as the combined effect of fractures in his shoulder and serious bruising to an entire leg - a person would feel the pain level distracts from their ability to perform at the level they expect from themselves, and more importantly, the level the paying audience expects.
If, as you say, Axl is not always good live even when he's in good health, then if anything that's additional reason for him not to want to perform when in significant ill health and he's likely to really disappoint the audience and fuck up his reputation even further.

I'm saying he's so spotty that nobody will notice the difference. He's always buried in the mix for a reason, and it's not shitty sound guys or poor venues.
