Tom-Ass Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 There are some songs that will still be amazing even if Axl's vocal issues are still present.. I think the songs he sings in his lower voice will still kick ass. Here are some that should sound good regardless.. Don't Cry - Can't wait to see Slash play that solo It's So Easy - Should sound good especially with Duff on vocals Brownstone You're Crazy - Slow version KOHD I heard Pretty Tied Up today and that could work.. I am really looking forward to seeing Slash and Duff play Rocket Queen together. But it could go either way with Franks drumming and the condition of Axl's vocals. That is a pretty short list but the only songs I consider a shoe in. I really have no idea what to expect on songs like Out Ta Get Me, Jungle, Sweet Child, Paradise City, You Could Be Mine.. It would be great to see him be able to pull off all those and songs like Reckless Life and Nice Boys. I just can't see them doing any justice to some of the Illusion songs like Breakdown and Locomotive that some people have brought up. This is somewhere where Izzy again could have really helped out by singing a few songs like Dust N' Bones, 14 Years, Double Talkin Jive, Pretty Tied Up, Bad Obsession or even some Stones cover. I am guessing Duff will take on this role but he isn't half the singer and his songs honestly aren't that great. I do love his background vocals though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NachoLZ Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 The Garden, Estranged if Axl puts some effort, NR, WTTJ and One in a Million would be fucking amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedish Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I think Locomotive could work if he sings it in one of the lower ranged vocals heard during the verses! And if he manages to get late '14 rasp on the chours I'd be pretty damn happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like You Could Be Mine.. From what I have seen he struggles on it. He could sing it in the range of something like Pretty Tied Up or the Nightrain verses and it would still sound cool. It would be different but a lot better than hearing him really struggle. He could even use his It's So Easy or Brownstone voice more often as well. I think it could really work.

Gordon Comstock Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 They could bring back You Ain't The First and Bad Obsession. He could do Down On The Farm but that's among the worst songs on their worst album IMO, if anything from TSI I'd want Black Leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofnazareth Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 basically all the non-rasp songs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'm watching the O2 Arena show right now and I think he sounds good.. Jungle sounded great.. Now I am watching it's So Easy.. Axl sounds good but anyone who says Pittman is inaudible is high.. There are synths all over the main riff of It's So Easy and it sounds fucking terrible.. pathetic.. Him and Dizzy are so not needed anywhere songs like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJones90 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Jungle is ALWAYS good. So too is It's So Easy, Brownstone, Don't Cry, Live n Let Die, KOHD. The last Nightrain that was played in Vegas sounded awesome. Civil War, Estranged should be fine too. To be honest my only concerns are with Rocket Queen, You Could Be Mine, and Sweet Child. Those are 3 songs that have lacked rasp since 2010 and it's much needed with those songs. Also wish he'd sing November Rain in a lower, raspy way Has anyone noticed though, it seems likd Axl was holding back? Seemed like he could easily turn on the rasp whenever he wanted to without any struggle. It wasn't like it was inconsistent. And i noticed he used it at the same parts each time. Hm. I'm 100% convinced he could blast out a raspy YCBM. He just wasn't trying to, which is disappointing really Edited March 21, 2016 by OJones90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Pitman's really only audible on soundboards though. I saw the last line-up 7 times and he's pretty unnoticeable live. Even if Axl shows up with the Mickey voice, Slash playing Estranged and Nightrain etc. will be enough to make up for it.

RussTCB Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Came here to list pretty much the same songs others have said; Brownstone, Easy, Jive, Obsession, etc..... pretty much anything where the majority of the song is done in the low voice.

Stress Fracture Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 There have been times when I've thought November Rain can sound better live without the rasp than it ever did in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
