The gig was indeed overall a disaster and the start of a new Axl mickey-mouse voice era... :(

Anyways there were a couple of songs worth watching imo, like Estranged and TIL which was surprinsingly good with lots of rasp!

I don't know why I haven't seen this until now. I usually quit on RIRIV pretty early into the youtube proceedings. Why couldn't he sing this way on another song that night....? Shit, why couldn't he sing like this at any of the 4 shows I went to from 2011-2012? I would have been satisfied.

This, to me, is Axl's best vocal on a song from 2010 to the present day. Sorry, Philly.

Lol, this is not even a decent performance of this song...

I'm not disagreeing with you at all, but post a better performance of this, or any song, post-RIRIV.

I'm sure there are some out there. People like You're Crazy and Rocket Queen from Philly 2012, but from start to finish, I don't find either on par with 2010.

I also kind of dig the second half of RIR's '11 This Could Be Mine, where Axl really puts some effort and some decent rasp on it - much better than most '12-'13 renditions of the song anyways...

Listen from 3m15s......

Rio had a couple OK performances like This I Love and, uh... Pink Panther, Bond Theme, even Mi Amor was OK... and, uh, well... This I Love. Axl actually didn't fuck up the November Rain outro because he didn't sing.

I can't think of another good performance :lol:

Jesus Christ. You're not kidding either. That is better than most '12-'13 versions. Is this how far he has fallen? He is now worse than he was at Rio 2011?

I saw 2 shows on the UCaP Tour, 1 on Chicago and 1 in Detroit, then I saw one of the A4D shows. At the Chicago UCaP show, I'd say he was worse than RIR4. In Detroit 2 days later he was absolutely on fire and he destroyed most performances I'd seen before. For Vegas in November I'd say he was far worse than RIR4.

Rio was hit and miss, but the '11 USA tour he was on fire, and sounded great. The UCAP tour was awesome for what it was, a Guns club tour, and he sounded great or the most part. Everything he's done since that tour ended has pretty much been phoned in.

And to remember it, here's a performance by Sebastian Bach in this year Rock in Rio.

Do 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?

2 washed up 80's superstars showing they got old and should move on with their lives instead of embarassing themselves?!...

One thing is for sure, i like Ashba's This I Love solo better than Robins...
