From what i've heard, Axl sounded great in New York, apparently his voice is back & as strong as ever. The band is supposed to have sounded great, and had great chemistry. Hey it might not be the original GNR, but hell at least it's Axl singing GNR tunes again.

And these guys are still very capable of headlining their own tour, with or without Slash, Duff and co. The 4 concerts in NY sold out in a couple of minutes!
