GNR123GNR456 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Say whatever you want about KD Lang, but she's also 50 and was somehow magically able to not only nail every conceivable note, but she was actually holding the mic away from her face at times due to the clarity and power of her tone.Eddie Vedder is now a couple of years shy of 50, yet he's capable of pulling it together at a moments notice, strap on an acoustic and blow the place away with the authority of his tone.Axl? He's 50, and yet he continually refuses to take his profession seriously. I don't give a shit if you're a lawyer, a dishwasher, or a gravedigger.If you have any personal pride, you invest in the skill required to perform said profession. Were this the case, he wouldn't need 34 people on a message board rationalizing his performance.Bottom line, any time the guy has had the slightest bit of public exposure, he's wilted.

jekylhyde Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 ...and I liked the way Axl sang it (minus the voice)...What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 There is really no excuse. All of the other bands came out and sounded great. Eddie wasn't even suppose to sing tonigt and he sounded great.Exactly.Though u know which members will come on here with tons of excuses. He had a cold. Bad weather. Every singer forgets his own lyrics. His age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 There is really no excuse. All of the other bands came out and sounded great. Eddie wasn't even suppose to sing tonigt and he sounded great.Exactly.Excuse? Couldn't it be that he isn't better these days and that no amount of rehearsals and warm-ups could help? You all interpret this as if Axl somehow did things on purpose or did a bad job thought neglect, disregarding the fact that this may be the state of his voice nowadays. If so, it is nothing to excuse. It is sad, but nothing to excuse as if it could have been prevented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlIsGod. Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Not far off the middle of my name being "was". Rio was worse, But man. It really is No prep combined with no rasp. everytime he has a break, he fucks up again the start of the next leg. the rasp has pretty much gone since 2011 but the fuckups only occur due to No preperation. Eh, at least its for charity. Im not sure if hes not into anymore or what.Maybe he needs new stuff to keep him into it, Because after that he just looked, Out of it. No Effort.

MicEffecT Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 None of you fuckers are fans if u continuously bash Axl. Yes he struggled. Obvious. I didn't expect a power performance leading in Vegas. Better ain't an easy song to sing. He was missing a few ranges but he'll recover. Always does. Have faith fans. All u cynics. FUCK U. Thanks to GNR for being a part of this event. Not for money. For the kids. Just think how many paid that $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 How was crowd reactionIt was great, actually.AliYou were there, right? How was the vocals from your seat?Other than having a brain fart and messing up some words to WTTJ, and singing "Better" completely differently, I don't hear any real difference between tonight and a year ago. I think "You're Crazy, "Patience" and "Sweet Child O' Mine" were the best. My group of 8 people enjoyed it too.AliIf you honestly thought it was bad, would you admit it?Band was awesome. Axl was terrible. I saw them last tour and Axl tore it up, an "A" performance. Tonight he was awful.That just wasn't the case. If anything, tonight crystallized the difference between the Internet experience and the experience of those at the show.Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistaBrownstone Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I recorded the concert and I'm uploading it to youtube now.Appreciated No problem! Should be up in about 45 minutes, but I'll probably post it here tomorrow when I wake up....and I liked the way Axl sang it (minus the voice)...What? Yeah, tricky to word, haha. I'm no musician, so I'm not sure the proper terms, but I guess it'd be the style he chose to sing it, as in how it sounded flow wise, as opposed to sound wise.

oneway23 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 While I'm at it, couldn't he have come up with a single line about being honored to be there? A great cause to support? The wonderful kids?Were I a cynical man, I might think Axl saw this as a fuzzy feel-good lead up to HIS late-night appearance and HIS run of Vegas shows.Missed the point a touch, what with the teleprompter and entire stage setup out there.Just kinda disappointed that it was more like a warmup for a guy that never practices and knew he had to squeeze one in.

I mean, we all know it.As far as the Internet experience goes, it's funny how every other singer manages to sound great. Must have been Slash, sabatoged the feed to make him sound bad.

Why should a fan not be allowed to criticize their idols?Hopefully a true idol Uncle Neil can sit him down and knock some sense in him. Get that fire back. One can hope. Of course, Axl only listens to Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sleeping Like An Angel Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Axl isn't taking care of himself and clearly doesn't bother rehearsing. Until he does, this won't improve.It's such a shame and so dispointing to see him like this.

I live in the UK and it's 7.30am and I've been up drinking all night and the only thing that's holding me back from my sheer annoyment is that my money went to a worthy cause.Fuck Axl. I'm tired of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
