One just wonders: Why do they still put themselves through this? The band, the fans, don't have anything to prove anymore, but maybe they can't even believe it themselves. It's hard to bear when one of the greatest singers in rock history—Rose's voice spans over five octaves and, according to one study, is even more diverse than those of Mariah Carey and Prince—suddenly can't hit the right note anymore.

Although, the squawking isn't entirely surprising. Even when the band reunited in 2016 with the old lineup of Slash, bassist Duff McKagan, and keyboardist Dizzy Reed, Rose's vocals didn't sound particularly rosy. For years, fans have speculated online about what's wrong with his voice, comparing it to Mickey Mouse and sometimes to a whining cat. He's even had to cut short performances because his voice let him down.

At the Munich concert, he bravely perseveres. He changes outfits a few times, but neither the glittery jacket nor the leather vest can distract from his mediocre singing. During "November Rain," Rose sits at the piano and seems almost a little lost in the face of the antics that lie ahead. The ballad, which he once belted out in a scratchy head voice, overtakes him; he can only breathe it. Then again, he inserts loud notes, so fast the mixer can't adjust.

His bandmates carry him through the show, especially Slash, who at 59 still embodies absolute coolness. Wearing Chuck Taylors, ripped jeans, and the requisite top hat, he leaps across the stage with his electric guitar, playing the most intricate solos and riffs. And then there's that beautiful moment when he sits down with the others on the steps in front of the drum kit, as if they'd all just arranged to jam together.

Why did Axl Rose allow such a singer in the opening act?
After all, there were terrible reports about the state of Axl's voice at the previous Düsseldorf concert, and he's been compared to Mickey Mouse on the internet for some time. But when he finally takes the stage at 7:45 p.m. after Duff McKagan and Slash, "Welcome To The Jungle" sounds surprisingly okay. Does his voice still work? Unfortunately, not quite so well, as it becomes increasingly audible during the rocking "It's So Easy" and "Mr. Brownstone," and finally during the cover of Paul McCartney's "Live And Let Die." 
Rose still manages the high, strained, siren-like passages, even if some notes are off-key. The lower baritone notes still have substance in the voice. It's just that nothing proper comes out of the vocal cords in between. And so, in melodies with changing pitches, there are always strange jumps in volume: some lines are barely audible, then a note stands out shrilly. And when Axl doesn't strain his voice but sings at a medium volume, little more than a whisper comes out. In "Estranged," the vocals are barely audible despite the soft accompaniment, and later in "Civil War," what you see and hear on the big screen doesn't quite match up.
It's not just the sound and vocals that are weak: The animations on the big screen look as if they were created during the band's heyday around 1990, and are mostly played without any apparent context or meaning. The stage offers little more than a few platforms. And the show largely consists of Axl pacing across the stage, staring demandingly at the audience; the 63-year-old grabs his crotch twice. There's almost no interaction between the three founding members, and the four other musicians don't particularly attract attention.
