I'm with Sydo. I heard they were shite at the awards, so I expected nothing from them, but they weren't that bad. The playing was very tight, and Axl sounded as I imagined he would live, and as he does on live recordings. Everyone has been bagging his performance, bu I don't think it was that far off what he would have sounded like back in the day.
As for the rest of the band, the playing was tight, so I don't really care what they looked like, they sounded good to me. I will be interested in hearing the new album (if and when it ever gets released) justout of curiosity.
Anyway, I think they only appeared on the awards to promote their US tour, and it seems to have worked, as they are playing sold out venues...
