The opening to this performance was awesome all the way up to it gets rocking. Axl's scream was good, but when the vocals kick in, it's kinda scary. The only parts I ever watch when I watch it is the opening, ending of Jungle with the good vocals, Madagascar, then the interview cause it's cool to see Axl.

I've been looking for the interview on YouTube for a long time now with no luck. I haven't seen it since it aired the first time on TV. Can you help me find it?

That show made this comeback so much harder than it already was. It was everyone's first impression of his new group, and it bombed. You can only make one first impression, and I would still argue to this day he has not fully lived that down in the eyes of the general public who still have their last image of him at his lowest moment.

I think things would be entirely different right now had he come out and tore the joint down and left people raving the next day. That obviously did not happen.

The sound mix sucked and Axl was out of shape.

That performance was what got me into Guns N' Roses. I was like "this is kind of cool".

And then I went online and saw pictures of Axl from the 1990s and went "what the fuck did this guy do to himself between then and now?". I ordered a Rock in Rio III DVD from eBay, which was a year before, and he still looked totally different compared to his appearance at the VMA's.

And then I got bootlegs of shows from the 1990s and went "what the fuck happened to his voice between 1992 and 2001?".

In essence, the 2001-2002 lineup was a mess.

False by far.......simply put, Neil Young and Eddie Vedder doing "Keep On Rocking In The Free World" was the greatest MTV Awards live performance.

Neil Young with Pearl Jam.  and yeah, that performance was, by far, the best ever...

The 1992 VMA performance of November Rain or the 1987 performance of WTTJ are by far the greatest performances in VMA history.

Not a chance in hell was it the best. I liked it, but, damn, I'm hard-core. It was a performance only a mother could love.

It wasn't that bad, by far the best performance of the night.

I thought Springsteen's performance that opened the show was way better. The Sheryl Crow performance was very good as well.

GNR FOREVER!!!! AXL'S THE BEST!!!!!!!!!
« Reply #36 on: November 26, 2006, 10:34:18 PM »
the intro scream to jungle was one of his best ever, madagascar sounded good, the band sounded good overall, but the vocals on jungle and paradise city were sub-par. he was out of breath during both of those songs.

i think the best was the jungle in '89, that was sick, axl was all over the stage and the whole band nailed it.

The 1988 VMA's, you mean.

I love that performance, but Axl starts to lose his voice halfway through and it's destracting.

Not that he didn't always have that happen while singing WTTJ during that time period, but still.

WTTJ VMA performance was unbelivably good.  I also really liked Free Fallin'.  So 2002 is not the best IMO.
