Frozen Inferno Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I remember feeling really excited for axl, the album was sorta coming out. Non hardcore Fans were finally getting a chance to see axl again since 02, and then he delivers the worst fkin scream in telivision history... Did he plan his presentation like that or did merck give him the idea? Fuck. i know he didnt wanna wanna be there but atleast try to look good for your audience dude.

Tyler Drama Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I really don't think he thought of that idea himself. I doubt he even wanted to do that. Didn't really make much sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SONOFABITCH Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I didn't think it was that bad. Just goes to show Axl will accept or present any kind of award or participate in such as long as he doesn't have to face his worst nightmare in a top hat.

AxlRose14 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Well lie about breakups and call me Slash, Axl was on mtv?!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I think it goes to show the importance of vocal warm-ups for Axl, without warming up properly he'd probably sound like this every night. That's why when you speak to people like Ron etc. about the start time of the show, they say that they go on when Axl feels he's ready rather than sticking to one start time, and it can be later or it can be earlier depending on the night/circumstances.

vaida Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) It felt like an odd moment.Wasn't Axl on record afterwards saying he didn't want to do it.Its out of character to do something he don't want to do. Maybe he did want to do it. Did it. Then back tracked. After he let out the scream, there was a silence. I questioned if anyone in the audience knew who he was, and was that the kind of thing he does normally? ..maybe they've never heard the song either.

Graeme Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 This was also when Axl made a real effort to say some nice things about the Killers only to have them throw it all back in GNR's face at the release of CD/Day & Age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I love that clip. He walks out and you can see in his face what he's feeling. It's like, he walks into the room and people are screaming for him, there was a definite buzz around the band at the time, and he's in the spotlight on national TV. What a wasted opportunity 2006 was. (I mean by the label, not the band) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I thought it was cool. It's his trademark. Live Era only enforced that to the younger fans that never saw the UYI tour. Also, this was a 2weeks after the Euro tour when he opened the shows which that scream. It's his thing. Jack Black looking like a tramp is more topic worthy.Who are the killers?!? ignorance fail.

Estranged Reality Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 yeah, i remember when it was announced that he was going to be presenting, people here were freaking out wondering whether GN'R would play a song. then when he started the scream, people were like, "OH MY GOD THEY'RE DOING JUNGLE!" then, they didn't. even at the time, back in '06, i remember people on here - supporters, mind you, who were digging axl's voice on the '06 tour - saying he had the 'mickey mouse' thing going on. i agree. '06 was a good year for him but it's like every time he has an opportunity to get a wide audience he flops. i know it was just a little scream and it was cool to see him presenting, but i don't think he really wanted to be there. it was obviously part of the label/management plan to get him back in the public eye, as by that point he was still telling people the album would be out in '06 (he even did a backstage interview at the vmas saying "this is the year").honestly, '06 should have been the year all the pieces fell together, but they just didn't.

Redhead74 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I liked the scream, didn't see anything wrong with it at all. Everyone knows its Axl's thing, its what he does. It would have been brutal if he had tried to mimic someone else's gimmick IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiedHands Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I think that has always come off as kind of an awkward moment for me. There was such a mystery when it was announced that he was gonna be there because there was such amazing buzz around that time period and again, everyone thought it'd be the perfect time to announce a release date. After the scream, I think there was this awkward moment for him where he was like "crap, that didn't go over well like it did in my head, shouldn't have done it" type of reaction. Nothing wrong with the scream, it was just strange. But it was awesome seeing him out and about and in the spotlight, being the rock star that he is. He got a pretty great pop from the crowd, too...

Black Sabbath Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Eh, it's not that bad.Axl is the epitome of fuckin' cool in that video though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdHeartBreaker Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 He gets a standing ovation as he walks in, doesn't say too much, keeps it professional. I got the impression the scream is a gimmick to him, maybe he feels a little silly doing it on-stage as a presenter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
