Pedrolg Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm not overly impressed with Axl's vocals. Not bad by any means, just not overly impressive. I expected a few of the more rock'n'roll songs to sound a bit like, let's say "Shoot to Thrill", for instance. Performance was very, very similar to the pre Axl/DC shows. There is the "AC/DC plays right into his range" defence. I don't really buy that, having fully listened to pretty much every AC/DC show. Axl/DC is far from just high pitched screaming. There is everything there - screaming, big shifts in tone, high range, medium range, and Axl manages to nail all that in full rasp on different songs. Having listened to it several times, I find nothing that suggests he wouldn't be able to sing a song like RQ in full blown rasp. I guess he is not that excited singing GNR anymore, or maybe won't risk ruining it for the US leg of AC/DC. I think there's also a possibility that he is trying to closely emulate the studio sound - unlike some people thing, those are very rarely too raspy. I'm a bit bummed by it, expected a bit more, but it's all good still. I'm glad to be witnessing this, it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this, I think somewhere deep down he knows he cant go full 100% for a full show, because that could harm him in the long run. But then honestly he never/very rarely did a quality vocal performance of a full show, either for unknown reasons or because he was always running around the stage as if his ass was on fire Edited June 24, 2016 by DocArunas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Easy Posted June 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) As a ~30 year GnR fan that never had a chance to see the band play live, last night's show was pretty kick ass & I'm very happy/grateful that they put their past behind them & moved on with life. As Paradise closed the show and I was walking out of the building, I had a chat with my friend about just how epic this damn show was --- Slash absolutely tearing it up - every solo was record album 'spot on', Axl sounding almost as good as old Axl, seeing ~45k Detroit fans rocking w/ a ton of energy (yet not getting out of control) for 2+ hours of the show, etc.. Then it hit me -- it's kinda sad that GnR could have been doing this for last 20+ years... and all of the experiences & other stuff that could have been had, but were lost in time. I think the previous posts from fellow Detroit show-goers already hit the nail on the head, so I'll keep my summary short. In one word - awesome! Slash was f'n epic - shredding it up and not missing a single note. Axl's voice was better than I expected. He looked a little winded during Easy (opener), but was in full stride & kicked ass from that point through ~ the 75% mark of the show. Personally, I think he faded a bit for last 25% - still good, but not as great as he started. Some of the slower songs like NR where he had to sing (vs shouting), I thought his voice just wasn't what it should be... but not a big deal, still good. Disappointing that Patience was skipped, a few too many CD songs my old schoolness, Seeker was a snooze, etc. But all in all, I'd give the show a solid A grade. Lastly, and I don't know if this is typical Axl/GnR, but I also found it very strange, almost awkward, how they teared through song after song non-stop with almost NO commentary from Axl in-between. If he said anything, it was a single word or phrase. No "hey, it's great to be in Detroit... blah blah blah". No stories or talking between songs. I think the only time he said more than 2-3 sentences outside of a song was when he introduced each band member! And the the whole 'All food in Detroit is fried. I'd start taxing vegetable oil.' rant was just weird. People in the rows of seats around me were all looking at each other like WTF is he talking about?!?! I still have no clue what he's talking about, or whether he actually spent time here... unless that was some inner city race crack. Regardless.... A forewarning for fellow forum members attending future shows that I haven't seen posted in this thread yet. The damn city specific tour t shirts were sold out (L, XL, XXL) before AiC even started their set. And Yes, all 3(?) designs! I wanted a Detroit skull & top hat tour shirt -- all they had left by the time AiC took the stage were S & M sizes (and we wasted prolly 25 minutes waiting in line at the main merch stand). So, word to the wise -- if you want a city-specific tour shirt, plan on getting there very early before the show, or even better yet, the day before and buy it from the trailer parked outside. This is probably my only disappointment of the night... and I walked the entire concourse hitting every merch stand trying to find the shirt -- no dice. Chicago-bound next week for Soldier Field - see you there! Edited June 24, 2016 by Easy 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnr Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm just seeing the videos now, and I agree it was a good performance. Band sounds great, tempos are much better, the guitar tones are amazing, they're as tight as ever. Axl delivered a good performance, but not Axl/DC level. And don't come with 'Guns is harder to sing than AC/DC'. It's not that. I can't understand why we can't get a better RQ, or at least a fuckin raspy outro of Estranged, when he sings BIB and Thunderstruck the way he does. I expected more from him vocally. Nevertheless I really think the show was good, and I really loved the chemistry that was going on stage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess people will read what they want into the China Exchange interview. A nuguns fan will take Axl saying he had Slash and Duff listen to some of his material and saying they liked it as "Chinese Democracy 2 coming out" where as a more realistic fan of the band will view it for exactly what it is... ...Axl, Slash and Duff could possibly collaborate on a new album that may feature some material that Axl wrote during the CD era. A far cry from "CD 2 starts now". No one said CD 2 starts now. I don't want to derail the thread but don't present it like it's more realistic that Axl, Slash, and Duff will mostly collaborate on a new album from scratch and will add a few songs from the vault when we know Axl said Slash may or may not be a part of it, that Axl enjoys singing the Chinese material the most live and that he is a fan of the previous line up and all sorts of shit that at least insinuates Axl has no plans of leaving the CD era material behind. You think he'll give up the best songs from the vault when he has 3 albums worth of material or even 1? please... He played Slash and Duff some of it and shared that information with the fans. I think that's at least an indication that it's more likely that a considerable amount of the album will be made up of Chinese era tunes or reworked vault material. We don't really know, but it sure as fuck doesn't point to mostly an album made up of Slash and Duff tunes. It's like you've ignored and/or misinterpreted everything we've learned recently.

Słash Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I really don't get why people are complaining, like yeah ok I do understand he had a very shitty voice from 2011 to 2014 and the band just din't sound like GNR and totally butchered the songs. But man this show was the best show since the AFD era. They sounded so awesome, like man the GNR sound is back, Axl sounds really great. Its weird some people are saying he sounded better with AC/DC, I just found it weird cause most prob. Im used to Brian on AC/DC songs. I just hope Axl maintains this voice cause man this was perfect. All of this is coming from a person who hated how nugnr played GNR songs. Now when they sound so good then there is nothing to complain. Im not a fan of Frank, but yeah he did a good job, but as a fan I would want Steven back just cause he really deserves to be there, the dude has been crying for a reunion since the past 20 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) I think Axl shows plenty of chemistry toward Slash, it's just that Slashs stage persona is so much more laid back, it's why he likes being in a band with a frontman Edited June 24, 2016 by MillionsOfSpiders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
