Many anti-depressants and psychotropic drugs have a side effect of bloating and weight gain. But so does smoking down, munchies, and watching tons of TV. Don't know which has impacted him the most.

It really is hard to say. I wanna shit on the guy as much as anyone, so it could be pills. But seriously, by all accounts the guy does NOTHING but sit around in his house all day. Its not that cut and dry, but no one ever sees him, he's not incredibly "active" and there's always been an image of him that he's just watching TV all day eating bon bons. He's kinda fat, but he always sorta has been in the last 15 years. So there's nothing that definitely says he's not just living a normal life as opposed to it being pills.
His being in a better mood might simply be because Slash is back, which many have said is what he really always wanted anyway. He's an emotional guy.

I was a huge fan of Guns N Roses (saw them at Wembley in 1993 so missed Izzy but got to see them whilst Slash and Duff were still there) - and was quite excited when I saw news about possible reunions. I think I'd definitely go if they came to the UK.
Regarding meds/bloating, a family friend's son has schizophrenia and I remember when he started on a new type of medication - and he massively gained weight. Also wondering if Axl staying home watching lots of TV and eating loads (if that's what he does) might be linked because this guy I know has depression secondary to the schizophrenia (partly due to the impact the condition and the medication has on him) so wonder whether it's similar with Axl.

yeah parts of that seem the norm. I don't what axl takes or was he's diagnosed with, he himself has said the diagnoses was wrong lol. I just know that up until 2008 he still appeared slim and fit and over the next 3 years his appearance really changed while his attitude seemed to mellow out a bit

Actually a very enjoyable comeback in my opinion (despite Axl sitting in a wheelchair-thing)!

The crowd/audience was cheering like crazy...very enthusiastic....So they must be doing great despite Axl's accident and being bald underneath those elaborate hats and head wraps and do-rags

There's a lot that can be said. I'll write a more detailed review later. Night 1 was kind of odd. Felt forced and a little lacking. Tonight was balls to the wall, the real deal. Both shows were excellent in their own ways, but night 2 is leaving me insanely satisfied. Night one left me feeling this was indeed too much of a cash grab tour but night two felt tight and like a real "band".
Will report later, but blown away by this weekend. It was a roller coaster ride, but honestly I think it all ended really well. Hope its the start of a bright new beginning for them.
And yes, Axl sounded @#$%& incredible and I'm not just saying that. I've been very critical of him over the years, but he brought it both of these nights and knocked it out of the park. I hesistate to say its the best he's been since 93, but if its not its the best he's been in a loooooong while.

I've gotta say, I heard some of the screams and high notes he was hitting on YouTube, and I was totally blown away. I thought he was incapable of singing like that anymore. Major respect to the guy for bringing it.
He did sound pretty tired by the time Paradise City came around, but that's to be expected. Overall this band sounds really good and tight. Would love to catch them this fall.
