mikebones Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Do you think Axl will kick her out of the band after the ACDC shows? My theory is, Axl is having a lot of fun with ACDC and ACDC makes pure rock n roll, no keyboards or synths... Would Axl consider comeback to the raw days?

maynard Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Dropping the fx and keys and going for a more raw set on the final leg of the next world tour would actually be very cool. Don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermoNuclearWarrior Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I highly doubt it, but he should get rid of her. I still don't understand the point of having her AND Dizzy. Going with your theory, that he's having fun doing the no bones straight up rock n' roll with AC/DC, but that's that and won't change GN'R. He gets to have the best of both worlds for the time being.

Don't see it happening. But Axl still needs to do a few Chinese tunes in every show. Like it or not, if you gonna do it, don't half ass it, which in this case means someone needs to make synths happen. And she brings her always on point backing vocals and it goes together very well with Axl's voice imo. Better than Pitman, Tracy and Roberta, and prerecorded shit that sounded horrid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DieselDaisy Posted May 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2016 Do you really need her for even the Chinese tunes? I'm sure Dizzy can handle both the synth and the farts at the same time. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedrolg Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 She is cute, and her backing vocals in Better are pretty good. Just leave her there. If Axl brings that AC/DC voice to GNR I'm down for whatever he wants to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The indifferent thing is that he could have probably brought it for all this time and can probably bring it to the Guns shows as well. The problem is that rehearsals are basically like working out. I think Axl does not want to do it. Shall we call it lazy? The cool thing is that an idol came along and you know... Axl did 20 rehearsals and it shows. Yes I hear the work he has put in. It's all there in his singing. Much more powerful and just warmed up. The AC/DC material is easier to sing imo, but rehearsals are the only way other than just warming up as the tour moves along which is a damn shame and lazy to be honest. He is all warmed up now though. Maybe he'll rehears occasionally, but he doesn't actually seem to sing Guns tunes at home or while taking showers.

The impression that I get is that he is a bit fed up from singing the same GNR tunes for so many years. To be honest, when the frist Troubadour and Vegas clip emerged I thought Axl sounded really good. The 2016 Axl was a singer who had aged well and was putting on a hell of a show for a 54 year old singer with a style such as his and such a history of problems and changes in his voice. That was above expectations, really. Then he comes out for this AC/DC shows sounding like he is 30 years old, and it's just weird. I'm obviously happy, I'm a big AC/DC fan, but it is really puzzling. He either knew he could do this all this time since 2010, and chose not to, or he lost the ability due to inactivity - and it simply came back with relentless rehearsals with AC/DC. I think it's the second, and I hope Axl is as surprised and as happy as we are. Between the last AC/DC show and the first GNR one there'll be a couple weeks, iirc. Hopefully Axl keeps his voice warm during that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jw224 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm hoping Axl does keep up with his voice. I hope he doesn't just get lazy when it comes to GnR. I'm wondering if he did actually ruin his voice. Because he sounded pretty shitty for a long time, could just have been him not caring though I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Everyone there who wasn't already in the band before 2015, will probably leave eventually if all they do is tour and never record anything. Melissa will be gone if this whole thing becomes stagnant. She's the only one with a long bright future in the industry by virtue of not being around 50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 The only thing that doesn't add up is.....why would he ask to fill in with AC/DC if he thought he couldn't do it? If he didn't know he can sing like that? He must have known he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 20 rehearsals yeah, you can kinda tell you sound great or like shit and the Axl/DC rehearsals that leaked were a good indication I'd say.

Axl certainly got another chance to deliver another Guns album with Slash and Duff. Kinda like after UYI. I believe they can do it, not sure he's able to release it. Maybe they can "get him" to do it like Robin did with This I Love or like Slash and Duff did with UYI. Plus everyone is older now except Mellisa. I'm saying there's a chance.

He even mentions in one of the clips that he really sucked on the first rehearsals, and Angus told him to keep trying. He also says that he finally understands the benefits of rehearsing, but is glad they are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody expected him to sound this good; and even though he's 54 and a bit chunky and was considered a lost cause by the public, he's winning back the global spotlight again. He's probably the biggest rockstar in the world right now. The chances of that happening were slim. Very slim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DexAxl Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Let's first get rid of more vital part of band who ruins almost every AFD song, FRANK get the fuck out of GNR i personally don't care about Melissa to think about her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think that GNR music is more complex than AC/DC? I mean for 40 years AC/DC did not changed shit and GNR have alot songs that have keyboards and synths and that is because Axl wanted it.
