axl rose's voice was the defining element of gnr. without it....its not gnr. most people recognise gnr for axls voice. my mum whose not even a gnr fan can listen to a song and recognise the voice and instantly know its gnr.

slash is what makes gunners.
without slash there would be no axle.
this isn't about the creation of appetite for destruction. of course slash played a major part in that. and fuck izzy was more important than slash in terms of songwriting. slash is one of my favourite guitarists but the importance of his role in the band is fucking overrated. everyone overlooks the other members who were just as equally important.
but anyway, this is about a band PERFORMING guns n roses songs.
and for that you NEED axl rose. if my mum was listening to velvet revolver cover its so easy or brownstone she wouldnt think it was gnr.
you don't necessarily need slash. the 3 guitarists all played the solos perfectly. yes even robin fink did a great job.
it was the best concert i've ever been to. i was like 2m from the front dead centre.
