KiraMPD Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yeah I love that performance, Axl's voice sounded almost unreal (like an audio flub or something). It had this really weird dual-tone quality that I can't really put my finger on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 A rare occasion when a guest singer blew away the song's creator on stage. One of my favorite GnR moments. One that unless you experienced it in real life, maybe it doesn't have the same weight to it.All month long MTV kept hyping their super special closing act for the show.So we all wait and wait and wait, and MTV is hyping it to death..............and then out walks Tom Petty. I think Tom Petty is great - but he definitely isn't the Big Gun to be a huge suprise guest to close the show. And the crowd claps, but they are a little reserved, no doubt a bit let down by the big surprise.Tom sings a bit and then out snake dances Axl. It takes a second for the crowd to realize it, but then they go crazy. Fans rush the stage. Cheering 3 times as loud as they did when Tom was announced.And Axl absolutely blows Tom off the stage. Axl owns the song. It sounds like a GnR song rather than Tom Petty song. At one point in the song, Axl is going off and the camera shows Tom looking over at Axl with a look of "this guy is a monster." Half smiling, half look of amazement and half look of "what the hell".

Dariablue Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Axl totally outsang him during that performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Axl totally outsang him during that performance.And it wasn't even close.I can still remember watching that performance when it happened. Also recorded it on the VCR and watched the tape about a million times, plus recorded the performance on a cassette tape - off of the vcr, so you can imagine the terrible quality. This was years and years and years before Youtube!!!Close to the same time there was another duet, I think it was at the Rock n Russia tour or whatever it was called.Sebastian Bach and Vince Neill were on stage for Led Zepp's Rock and Roll.......and it was even worse of a massacre. People might not like him, but Bach made Vince sound like a red-headed step-child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock4eva Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I LOVE this, especially when Tom Petty sings "you're a bad boy" & Axl slightly nods to him. The reaction of the audience is fantastic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmt Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Check out Salt of the earth(1989)with Axl and Mick. Another fine example of Axl blowing the competition away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill Devil Hill Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 That's one of my favorite performances by anyone ever. I love the moments when Tom looks over at Axl like, "What the fuck? This guy has talent." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
