Randy Jesus Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 You can rehearse all you want in the house but it doesn't build up the same energy and stamina that you'd get being in live room and moving around whilst singing. I think he needs to stop moving around. Stand still like Myles Kennedy or Adele. Would help his singing if he did that even if it hurts his stage presence.He barely moved at all in 2014. Compare it to 2012, there's a noticeable difference in his stage presence.The Ritz he moved less and was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedrolg Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 He needs to sing, sing and sing until the day he enters the stage. The more he sings, the better he'll sound, regardless if he is overweight or not. The weight - voice link is very overemphazized. He was thin in 2002, sounded like crap, and was chubby in 2010 and sang the shit out of every song. He needs to get his vocal chords and muscles in shape, not his body.

niceguy Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 The very first time Axl sings these songs between his last gig and Coachella will be AT Coachella. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrolg Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Could someone point me in a direction that corroborates this belief that Axl simply never goes to rehearsal? I found some quotes and bits here and there but nothing that would justify this becoming such an established fact.Serious question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ak1nney Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 None of us will probably ever know, but I assume Axl will be at some rehearsals once the band gets the songs where they want them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 There's probably also enough rehearsal to be done without Axl at this point. Fortus will have to work out guitar parts with Slash since obviously he'll no longer be playing any of the Slash solos, and Duff and Frank will have to lock into a new groove. Richard is a pro so he probably couldn't care less if he's demoted to the triangle but all the same you're talking about relearning songs he's been playing for 15 years to conquer the "muscle memory" of the way he's grown accustomed to playing them.

Gordon Comstock Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Could someone point me in a direction that corroborates this belief that Axl simply never goes to rehearsal? I found some quotes and bits here and there but nothing that would justify this becoming such an established fact.Serious questionIt's pretty well known that he very rarely showed up to rehearsals or sound checks on the UYI tour, and it hasn't improved since then. And there's stories of how when he does show up, he just watches. There's a clip from the 2002 VMA rehearsals, which could be seen as one of his big 'comeback shows', where he just basically 'talks' the lyrics in a weird voice. The first thing he ever tweeted was something like "So, this is a soundcheck..." (before the first show after CD's release).For the record, I think he used to rehearse by himself at least a little bit before going on tour, before 2011. Since then he think I think he might sing a song or two while he walks around his house, but no serious rehearsing has happened since 09/10 IMO.

Rustycage Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 It's common knowledge that Axl didn't rehearse and show up for soundchecks. Just figure that he flies in around showtime or sometimes a little after and you can figure out that he wasn't there for soundcheck.The funny part is he was always angry about the sound being off or not being able to hear himself etc. Then show up for soundcheck FFS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheapJon Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Just sent Mike Clink a tweat, asking when's the last time he spoke with Axl, Slash or Duff and suggested he'd give them a call. It'll get ignored, or In a year or two, you will all thank me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ak1nney Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Sounds like they may have gotten a better offer or situation to reveal the lineup or do a performance. It might make the people criticizing them/Axl for dropping off Kimmel look stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the ultimate deal would be if GNR are asked to host Saturday Night Live...that could be the greatest show of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRfan2008 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I think he needs to stop moving around. Stand still like Myles Kennedy or AdeleAdele ? Yeah, she stands still while she sings and it helps her a lot. Given how out of shape she is, if she ran around on stage a bunch it would have a big impact on her vocals just like it does with Axl.

Given how out of shape she is, if she ran around on stage a bunch it would have a big impact on her vocals just like it does with Axl.That's what her shows are though. She isn't supposed to move around and her songs are supposed to be performed at a standstill.Guns N' Roses songs aren't supposed to be performed like that.As funny as it would have been to be at the O2 in Dublin when Axl got pissed and performed the entire show standing still, I don't want to see Axl do that at every show, regardless of how good he sounds.
