Don't damn me would be quite easy to sing for Axl. No screams but for a couple of verses at the end. And it is one song that every fan wants them to play live at least once. Common Axl, Duff and Slash have already mini - soundchecked it last year.
Throw in Breakdown too please.
Remember 'Moneyball'? Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) and Ron Washington (Brent Jennings) are trying to convince Scott Hattenberg (Chris Pratt) to switch from catcher to first base to prolong his career. Hattenberg "The things is..."
Beane : "You don't know to how to play first base, right? It's not that hard, Scott. Tell him, Wash."
Washington : "It's incredibly hard."That's how I feel here. 1992 Axl would struggle with 'Don't Damn Me' live. 2023 Axl would have zero shot. It's incredibly hard. |

They are the two songs I would love them to introduce in their live shows and I don't think they would be difficult for Axl to sing live. Easier than You Could Be Mine or Coma surely |

You Could be mine is not hard, only the second bridge close to the end. It's just 30 seconds and Axl doesn't really pronounce the words anyway...
Coma is hard as fuck, specially the last 2'30". But there's a 5 second break for him between "While you watch 'em waving goodbye
and "They be calling in the morning, they be hanging on the phone...and that kind makes it a bit easier.
Don't damn me is harder though. It's a 5 min song. And there's hardly any room to breathe. Just a solo in the middle, but other than that, you have to be on the top of your lungs throughout.

I seem to remember Axl saying he regretted writing it at the pitch it’s at because it actually requires a lot of effort to sing, which is why they opened with it when they did the high altitude concert Jarmo was posting about recently. |

Axl has laid down some truly incredibly demanding vocals. And CRUSHED them. They are all timers, but then people expect it the rest of your life. It's a tough gig.
'You Could Be Mine' is such an incredible rock vocal. Such presence, such tone, such attitude. He sells that whole thing with such bravura, it's like a weapon.
Not just any rock front man makes that song what it is.

It's incredibly hard. Singing in a high register requires much more air moving through your vocal cords than singing in a low register. Don't Damn Me would be a piece of cake compared to Coma. |

Axl should do a couple of those radio spots. He was really good as a DJ in that video game. Not an interview but just show up and talk about whatever and play some tunes. He could be Wolfie's guess or better yet, just give the man the mic and an hour and let him introduce songs.

They shut the machine down and went their separate ways. Left the business to management. Somebody there is working on something to sell us.

I think and hope it will be another single. I imagine a similar pattern will be used as the selected live videos were put out. On the other hand they might want to put out singles while on tour... I find it hard to believe that there will not be a tour in the summer/fall.  |

A scientist will find a way to access a parallel universe in which GNR released 15 albums.

I kind of like that color changing shirt. Interesting a shirt can do that.
I already have my Valentine's Day gift for my grandson but I might have got him something if they offered baby stuff.

The GNR website is still featuring the Hollywood Bowl show and says nothing about the 24th. Looks abandon if you didn't know the merch store was open.
