Ever hear Axl Rose or Joe Elliot live?
Axl Rose was incredible live, ok he had his off nights like the DVD that was released but when he was into it he was amazing. Joe Elliot is crap though, I'll give you that.

Jon's voice doesn't always come across as well on TV or DVD as it does when you are actually there. I was totally blown away by how good he sounded on the KTF tour, much better than on record. To be honest he's never really disappointed live until the Bounce tour. When he went off to let Richie sing IBTFY I kind of hoped he wouldn't come back on! Maybe he was just having problems that particular show, he did sound a bit croaky and I seem to remember seeing him cough a couple of times. I was watching the One Wild Night thing from VH1 the other night and he sounds really strong on that. I love that version of KTF, can't believe it's been dropped from the set.

There are some who can't cut it live but most singers I've seen sound better live than on record with the big exception of Velvet Revolver, what a load of shite they were.
