Exactly what the title says. Didn't want to talk about a first time, so why not a second? I'm still tired of people trying to drag down legends. We'll be honest with each other, with the right perspective. Let's talk about Axl Rose's voice and those who criticize him. This time, we're joined by musician/vocal coach, Tony Noyes.
