That was cool of Matt to step aside and let Steven play drums on this. Class act!!!

[@queenfan45]

You should have seen him when he reunited with Axl, Slash and Duff!

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

Of course he is. Why wouldn't he be? This is the first time since he was 18 that he got to play with Guns and just be one of the guys.

[@OpvallendeHaas]

exactly my first thought

[@rockstar9016]

dude he is I feel so happy for him he's got this big smile on his face the hoal Time

[@lilschlagen]

Rock Star that's one of the things I love about him. At just about every show he's got this gigantic smile on his face the whole time.

[@nightraven5760]

5:23 about here you can see Adler mouth "yeah, I'm happy". Nearly made me cry. My dude got caught up in drugs, was booted out of his lifes creations, tried to kill himself, got help, got clean, and is back with the boys again. What a goddamn legend, we love you steve!

[@Dizzy1980]

I never noticed that before! I imagine he was looking at his wife, who was sitting in the front.

[@krisberntzen]

You can actually hear it too. And look how Myles is feeding on his energy towards the end of the song

I hope Kennedy gets his chance to be in the hall of fame. He try’s so hard to give respect to the songs and their original style; all while being an amazing performer.

[@thyop89]

I hope so too. He killed this after having to step in at the last moment and he must have been nervous about Axl turning up at any moment. He doesn't get the respect he deserves in the industry both for being both an amazing musician and songwriter and great guy.

Myles Kennedy is just a bad ass. All there is to it. He saved the day here, and GNR didn’t miss a beat. And Steven looks like a little kid behind the kit. He’s so happy. Respect to Matt, who is a great drummer in his own right. But the only person that can play early GNR drum properly is Adler. Other drummers can nail the technique, but he has the feel that cannot be replicated.

[@TheSocialDistorter]

Adler on drums!

[@Fabcfab]

I think the microphone that recorded this was placed right behind the entrance doors...

[@thestarwarscraft4005]

yeh the mix was awfull

[@MetalMarauder]

Concert videos that aren’t made specifically for concert movies or live albums are almost always gonna sound like shit because they’re getting the sound direct from the mixing board and it has none of the acoustics of the room itself.

[@MattFoleysGhost]

Exactly! It sounds like a house microphone? My guess is - HBO owns the rights to sound board recording but HOF is free to record with whatever their equipment picks up in the building as they own it.

[@MattFoleysGhost]

Huh? But here's the opposite. The sounds has NONE of the board and it's all room, like a bootleg.

[@thyop89]

Myles is the only person other than Axl to pull this off and let's face it, he saved the day for stepping up like that for Slash and the band at the last second. He killed that vocal performance and did it with class. Didn't try and pretend to be Axl either, just facilitated the song and let the band shine. So much respect for Myles Kennedy.

[@Danny-sd5vm]

He's carried himself with class and total respectability to the Guns history

[@hitwarriors8040]

Mykes is a class act. Even during live shows with Slash, he steps aside to let Slash take the spotlight. Mykes with Alter Bridge can really show his total potential. He is a brilainet guitarist, vocalist and song writer. So thankful to have seen him live many times.

[@michaelkrivak5218]
