If I'm not mistaken, Axl not only gained 100 pounds, but also lost his voice.
The one thing that made him unique is now gone. I used to be a fan, but can't stand to listen to what his voice has become. It brings a tear to my eye to see what the new Axl has to bring.
I mean, listen to this, for fuck's sake, I can't...

I shall tell you a truth. It is a crime that we age. I have given it some thought and would that we remained at our peak until we are suddenly and painless taken home. Preferably by an angel of death that looks and sounds exactly like Sandra Bullock. "Sigh"... Damn that restraining order.
Unfortunately, I am not in charge. Hell begins with the advancing onslaught of old age. I would ask God what we did, all of us man and animal alike, to deserve this.
Listening to Nancy Wilson sing "Moon River". Perhaps if the angel of death looked like Sandra and sang like Nancy?
Be well, my friend. In all ways and for always, all the best to you and your family.
