Russel Nash Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) And to remember it, here's a performance by Sebastian Bach in this year Rock in Rio.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0x-bXzi1mEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYsgaF5u-r8Do you see any similarities?Edit: I read some reviews and some comments for that gig and his last ones. Apparently he has some issues on his vocal chords, but the shitstorm has begun.Summarizing the comments now he's Fat, old, and talentless. Sounds familiar?

JAxlMorrison Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 It was an utter trainwreck to watch. I was extremely pumped to hear Estranged, but with Axl's voice, forgetting lyrics, getting overall pissed off, I figured this was it, and the tour I had already bought tickets for 3 shows for...wasn't going to happen.But then it did, and all 3 2011 shows I saw were tremendous in their own ways.2012 in AC was even better.

Cosmo Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 LOL and history re-writes itself!

A bad mix on a regular gig.I think it's that, on a live gig, everything's too loud, people are singing along, the energy and adrenaline are taking over so you don't notice some flaws. I was pretty close and people were singing along to most of the songs so maybe it was that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 A lot of the group at Evo watched it live and were chatting about it. I remember us all being pumped at first and then... not so much. I was still fired up for a couple of songs including Estranged of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolRanchDressing Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 YouTube can't be trusted. He sounds great. There's no way being fat and out of shape could have contributed to that performance in a negative way. The media has always been out to get baz. People just hate on him because he won't reunite with his original line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooker Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Though I don't expect rock shows to be perfect (the imperfections let me know that the artist is truly performing) Axl should at least have prepared for that gig. Especially Rio. So much was on the line. We last saw him lean and his voice was pitch perfect. He comes back out of shape and a voice in poor shape. No excuse.

I was still fired up for a couple of songs including Estranged of course.That's exactly what it was like here too. Someone set up a live chat for Rio, and in the chat everyone was all like "fuck yea, this is amazing", and the next day it was like we all had a hangover, everyone was like "ugh this was awful, why the fuck did we watch that?"

magisme Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 So now people are going to start trying to argue that Rio 2011 wasn't a disaster? I'm sure bad mixing and youtube made Axl forget the lyrics to his songs and mumble incoherently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl's ass kissers don't criticize the singer...They blame the weather and that Axl couldn't read teleprompts etc..Did u see other bandmembers act childish like Axl cause the weather? How can Axl forget lyrics to November Rain? He sang 3 times the same lyrics..Let's face it, the guy was not prepared for RIR2011 His voice was awful and so was the performance..Only good part was Estranged..but it took 18 fucking years to sing it again!!

I'm sure bad mixing and youtube made Axl forget the lyrics to his songs and mumble incoherently. dis·as·ter[dih-zas-ter, -zah-ster] noun 1. a calamitous event, especially one occurring suddenly and causing great loss of life, damage, or hardship, as a flood, airplane crash, or business failure. 2. Obsolete . an unfavorable aspect of a star or planet. Yeah, either ppl died that night or Axl's gone bankrupt.pseud comedy won't make Rock in Rio 2011 a disaster.

username Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Just another example of GnR screwing up a big high-profile gig. He did it at Rio 2001 (although, looking back, that wasn't that bad), VMA's 2002, , RIR 2004 (though that, for as far as we know, was mostly Bucket's fault), RIR 2011, Bridge School.... Sad to think about really.. Shame they never really rise to the occasion anymore, like Ritz 88, RIR 1991, Freddie Tribute 92... The high-exposure high-publicity things matter.

batman007 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 One of the most disappointing events to witness as a GNR fan. I'm glad he shed some weight and performed better than Rio in 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice that he shed some weight, but disappointing that he can't be bothered to do so BEFORE a huge gig that was planned way ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
