When did Axl Rose reach his career peak?

[W. Botaxl Rose]

In terms of accomplishing what i assume Axl's career goals were, I would have to say when u have metallica opening for u on a stadium tour while selling millions of records and dating super models after just having moved into a fucking compound in the malibu hills and mtv is airing entire concerts of your band. Well, I think that's the mountain top. Really, were do u go from there? So his career definitely peaked sometime in the summer of '92.

I would have to say right after UYI was released and before Izzy left. Songs like Coma, Estranged, Locomotive, Civil War, Breakdown, Don't Damn Me and Nov Rain proved that Axl wasn't just a cock rockin' angry David Lee Roth/Vince Neil et al type frontman. He had an emotional depth and an ability to express it that the other hard rockers did not have. The live performances were still stripped down and rockin' as well. Now, after Izzy left, that is a different story-obviously things got a little bloated for awhile .
