Being a little vague there... But I don't think I know.

Giblet

it wasn't Paradise city was it?, with you mishearing the lyrics. I find it hard to believe that you wouldn't know it if it was

Paradise city

Just a' urchin
Livin' under the street
I'm a hard case
That's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

Ragz to richez or so they say
Ya gotta-keep pushin'
For the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' their time

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home

Strapped in the chair
of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says
It's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette
But I can't see
Tell me who you're gonna believe

Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester
With a broken heart
He said-
Turn me around and
Take me back to the start
I must be losin' my mind-
"Are you blind ?"
I've seen it all a million times

dont thank, me thank www.google.com

Are definately positive that it wasn't Axl Rose? Or could it have been one of the new ones.

And that reminds me...Anyone watch the end of the VMA's? Fuccking cool so it was. I downloaded the performance and it had an interview with Axl that was cut out from the european broadcasting.

may have been cool watching VMA's, but dammit his vocals sucked so much I nearly wept. Grown man trying to hit notes he hasnt hit in over 5 years, very sad indeed

What's age got to do with anything? That's like saying "Jimmy Page, What does he think he's doing playing guitar at his age?"

For starters Axl has had singing lessons over the years to try and get the croakiness out of his voice, which he has done successfully. Which I personally think wasn't a good idea because I liked the croakiness in his voice.

But I thought he had done a pretty damn good job. especially at his concert in London on the 26th August. I would know. I WAS THERE! And it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

The VMAs were good, although I despise Axl's voice... they haven't been the same since Slash left.

I agree...
Take a look at Bruce Dickinson also.
He's probably older than Axl, and can still kick the **** up.
Just look at Rock In Rio... ****ing hell, he jumps like he's in the olympics.

uhm where exactly did I mention his age was against him, all I said was it was tough watching a grown man try and hit notes that he could 5 years ago. His age has nothing to do with anything, I was merely pointing out that I thought his vocals basically sucked the big one at the VMA's

I don't know if you heard any of the GNR stuff before Appetite For Destruction (like Shadow Of Your Love and The Live Like a Suicide!? EP), but his vocals sounded like they were way back then.

And hey! He succeeded in reaching those high notes, as usual! I can't see what your complaining about! I personally thought the VMA performance was great!
