We really need a *sad channel.

Its always sad to see an aged rock start trying to sing their hits well past their prime. Just as their body gets old and worn out so do their larynx. They tend to lose much of their range and vocal precision/endurance. I always cringe when I see some 80's 70s 60s rock start on the stage belting out their classics, it just doesn't work, you can't fight aging.

I don't even understand where this guy went. GnR was releasing videos and there was talk about their "Rock Opera", or whatever...then they just dropped off the face of the planet without a word. Of course Slash kept doing his thing, because he's actually talented, but I never knew what happened to the band. Granted, I never cared enough to find out but it still seems strange that there wasn't much explanation.

Thanks for the promote

there are exceptions though, Sting still sings quite well, as well as Bruce Dickinson, but I don't think either of them ever smoked for example (which I'm sure is probably the #1 reason why a lot of singers lose their voice)

what ever artist that was left was replaced by the rockstar

i'm as confused as chinese democracy
