Stro Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Personally I'm more interested in Slash playing on CD stuff, and Axl singing on VR/Slash stuff than random deep cuts from UYI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As awesome as these shows have been that "mid range" voice as people call it is just bad. It sounds very weak but having Slash and Duff there helps to offset that. People that say that Axl sounds as good as he did back in the days are just over excited. There are realistically only a handful of songs a night that he sounds great consistently throughout the whole thing. Like you said people are just very happy to see this band again and his other voices have been great.. His screams are just blowing people away and there are still plenty of holy shit did he just do that moments. His lower register voices and delivery have been awesome too. He is commanding the stage, tossing his mic around like the old days with just enough vigor. I think his most consistent outstanding songs have been. Jungle It's So Easy Out Ta Get Me Brownstone DTJ Live and Let Die Don't Cry I gotta tell ya, the first night ISE vocals were absolutely insane. I thought I was gonna have a panic attack! Vocals were very loud and sounded absolutely unreal. "but it GOES TO SHOWWW!!!" My 18 year old, who hasn't watched many, if any, live GN'R vids, had a completely shocked look on his face. He turned to me, with a grin on his face and said, "Oh my God, Axl is friggin awesome!" After the show I told him a bunch of Axl war stories from back in the day. He's still buzzing from the shows! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to be WAY to pumped to sit down even if my feet/back are killing me. I got a seat just so I can rest during the guitar solos but yeah the rest of the time I am sure as hell going to be singing and standing to it all including slow songs like TIL. Honestly it was so hot in Philly, I did sit a few times, but only after being on the brink of heat stroke from dancing, drinking, dehydration lol that being said I never felt so much energy...but when your chest tightens GNR or not you have to take a breather!

Scroll up a bit and watch that RQ video, it's awesome, he rips through it with rasp for the whole song. There were one or two shows this tour where he destroyed PC and it was also great. Ocasionally, on YCBM, he rips out the "I'm a cold heartbreaker" up to "rip your heart in two" and it makes me think "he is finally going for it", but he reverts back to safe mode afterwards. Current level of performance is good, but I agree that it is not like the old days. Tbh, it's still a bit of a mistery to me. What people call the "mid range" has showed up occasionally on the tour, such as in the ending of patience. I don't know, at the same time it'sInsert other media clear that he lost most of that range, at other times he gives glimpses that suggest he still has it. He uses whole different techniques and sings in a whole different way after 2010 though. He's doing more songs clean. Which is quite hard to explain if you don't understand it. I believe he even talked about trying to record on CD clean and many fans didn't understand or like it. The problem to me is so many want rasp all the time. People think when he does clean it's a downgrade it's not. Axl's vocal range is still very good especially considering how long he's been doing this. I seen them in Cincinnati and I can tell you he sounded very good. Many people who are ACDC fans I know but dislike Axl and or GnR have given him props. Sadly our own fans want to nitpick his songs apart. I don't mind his clean versions. He still has the rasp and still has it. In my eyes he's proven it. Just as Slash has played with his solos and how he plays things Axl has a right to as well. Some songs aren't as good as 30 years ago but damn close. Hope everyone had a great time at this show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonizedmind Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Also, is it just me or is that more brutal 90s rasp even returning to extent, not heard it like this for a LONG time...Like primal Axl times -Fucking brilliant - this vocal coach is doing sum good work for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl Rose aka God Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 You're completely right. I noticed that when I was there. Rather than "singing" he was starting to let the lyrics out in more of a SCREAM. It was fucking great. Especially on Civil War. I usually expect that high voice the entire song but then he REALLY PUSHED IT. It was fucking dope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he is improving a lot and if he reach 2010 levels this reunion and the future is pure GOLD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Remember when Axl sang Touch too much for the first time with AC/DC and the whole MYGNR forum started moaning/complaining that it sounded bad because it was clean, but the whole AC/DC forum was blown away, praising him and the band and how they sounded awesome.... I understand that people want rasp (I want it too) it does sound magnificent, but if he's going to blow out his voice rasping through all of the Axl/DC and GN'R gigs thoughout the whole 2016, I can live with clean voice here and there..... People need to understand that Axl hasn't stop performing and giving 100% since May (If we exclude April shows) and he needs to continue doing so up until December. The only way to survive this crazy year for him (have in mind that this is a man who disappeared for a year and a half) is to find a balance between rasp and clean voice. Plus you can't just rasp through all the GN'R songs. They're not Thunderstruck. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnr>everything Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Forgive me if this should be posted in the Foxboro thread, but that one is buried in the tour section and this is a new article. Full article: http://www.foxbororeporter.com/articles/2016/07/28/news/19247309.txt Here's an excerpt: Quote The question of whether or not to fine the Kraft Group entity, NPS LLC, for Guns N' Roses playing 10 minutes over the town's 11:15 p.m. curfew at its July 20 concert drew some heavy debate at Tuesday's Board of Selectmen meeting. In the end, the selectmen voted 4-1 to issue a warning, a course of action that did not sit well with Selectwoman Ginny Coppola, the board's sole dissenter in the vote."You guys have just lost control of your licensing," said Coppola, when it became apparent that the board would not be issuing a fine.Before the discussion began, Keegan said that there were extenuating circumstances that led to Guns N' Roses going over time. Specifically the opening act, Lenny Kravitz, went 10 minutes over. To compensate for this, he said that Guns N' Roses trimmed some songs from its set, but still ended up going past deadline. As such, he suggested that the selectmen issue a warning, as opposed to a fine. I was on the rail during this show and Lenny stopped for about 10 minutes because his right ear monitor stopped working. He performed another song and then the crew was trying to get him to stop, but Lenny told them he was doing one more. Even during the last song the crew told Lenny's sound guy they needed to wrap it up. I was keeping my eye on the clock while all that was happening and wondered if GN'R would cut a song. Looks like they did! (Unless they just said that). I wonder if we would have gotten both Sorry and Catcher, or maybe both OTGM and My Michelle again. Tough to say because the set list wound up being the same number of songs as some of their other stops, but it was one shorter than the night before. Also, as the article mentions, they went a few minutes late on the first night, but that doesn't seem to have been as big of a deal. Edit: another pertinent quote Quote Keegan, however, maintained that giving a warning was in keeping with consistency. He also clarified that the organization that would be fined would be NPS LLC, as the licensing authority, not the band.
