I had this thought the other day after listening to him at Lisa Marie's funeral. I am sure this thought has been brought up in many of the topics on this message board but when we think of the history of GNR those first 4 albums Appetite, Lies and UYI 1 & II they are held in such high regard but UYI the last true GNR original material before the band broke up in the mid 90s was in 1991. We have had one New material album ChiDem in 2008 with a makeshift lineup that certain part of the fan base just would never accept no matter how good i think when we all look back on things that album is. Axl is in his 60s if I am correct and we would be crazy to think he would sound like he did in say 06-2012 let alone sans early 90s. I feel like anything GNR releases will always be compared to those 4 albums and not sure that is fair to do given all the years since those albums came out.
Is there anyone this band could still be successful with new material but have a different sounding Axl cuz I feel he needs even if a slight twinge to his singing style that may not put as much stress on his vocal chords. He just can't do what he did when he was in his 20s-30s or even 40s & 50s.

"Not sure that is fair"? It was his choice to make 1 album every 20 years. It wasn't bad fate. I mean 30 years of excuses (from the fans) it's enough, an it would be enough for anybody. If anything, I think he should focus more on his baritonal voice and on something he can play live like it's so easy, Cd etc.
