Popular Post highvoltage Posted May 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2016 Seriously... everything about this performance blows me away: If i think of Axl's post '93 "greatest" performances e.g TWAT at Hammerstein '06, Jungle / Nightrain from Rock Am Ring '06, Prostitute/TWAT at the Vegas '14 shows, Coma from the Reunion gigs.... this is surely right up there with the finest. Axl completely obliterates this song and his own vocal chords in the process - that howl is just phenomenal. Amazing stuff. Sorry for the thread, this (and Thunderstruck) just really stood out from the Marseille show for me. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padme Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Maybe it's a matter of opinion or just hard to pick one because he has been great in all of them. But in my case I think Thunderstruck was the best from the Marseille show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) ......and I though If You Want Blood was the clear winner. They all sound good, I prefer the older AC/DC songs though, Axl sounds so good on those, to me.

T-Minus Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 He is on top form. Absolutely knocking every ball out of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Archer Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Don't want to be a bitch about this, but he didn't do the extended FAAAAAAAYERRRRRRRRRR at 3:54 and I still believe in that being achievable, or certainly possible . Apart from that minor thing, that performance made my ear drums bleed. Axl is just murdering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad that i have tickets to the next show, therefore i can see Axl and AC/DC on top of their game after 2010 (GNR) and 2009(AC/DC) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnr Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 You're not crazy, I'm with you really. During Lisbon show his voice was perfect in almost every song, full of rasp and all, but the moment he sang 'For Those About to Rock' I swear I heard a 93' Axl. It was not a rasp from 2006 or 2010, it was 93' rasp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estranged_85 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Best vocal performance post -93 are from 2006 IMO, especially rock am ring,and Hammerstein.. Technical,powerfull,raspy when needed, not just 'screaming' out the lyrics. But since 2006 this is Axl's year! he´s totally killing it 120% rasp don´t fit every song.

It's a moment that is just huge for me personally. I love it so much that at one time, I would have have the song on repeat, while doing HIIT (High intensity Interval Training) running. The final extended 'Fire' + 'We Salute you' would be the signal to switch from taking it easy to going flat out and to do so through to the end of the song. Over and over and over. PS - please do a review of the show/give us your take on the highlights - it's just great to have forum members do that, but I see it happening less often.

IncitingChaos Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 There have been some really nice flashback moments for Axl during this run, he's hitting notes with vocals from the 90's with an ease of second nature to them. He's not stressing or forcing anything it's just there for him right now. I'd say something about it translating to gnr but this ACDC run has been so great to hear that I'm just going to enjoy it and whatever happens with gnr happens. Awesome job Axl!

IncitingChaos Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 im also loving Axl's vocals on shoot to thrill, I'd like to see it replace seeker in GNR's set. By the way, that old lady rockin out was awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I don't think anyone saw this coming, especially after inconsistent vocals during Vegas/Coachella. I just hope to God he doesn't blow his voice out before I have a chance to see him in July. I'll be pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should make a movie just to use this song with Axl on it this time. Edited May 16, 2016 by The Archer 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Iron Man 4 could be great, though Civil War satiated my need for the first fantastic Iron Man movie since 2008 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wp9215 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 No, you're not. I feel like he was winging everything since 93 and got his shit together getting back with slash and got a vocal coach and a trainer. And it's unreal. He sounds like he should now...the greatest rock n roll frontman of all time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only single reason why Axl sounds great now is the fact that with AC/DC he must rehearse with the other guys. With Guns he chooses to be lazy; he doesn't seem to rehearse much, at least never as much as with AC/DC. He sounded incredible in the GNR does also though. He sounded reinvigorated.

IncitingChaos Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Axl's voice projects really well in this video...and I think Marseille was his best show vocally so far, he hits on every song. They've all been great but I've enjoyed the audio from Marseille above the others Edited May 19, 2016 by IncitingChaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the thread, this (and Thunderstruck) just really stood out from the Marseille show for me. You're not crazy at all. It's way up there with some other performances, along with those you already mentioned. I did not expect any of this after the first reunion shows. I'm really loving this so far, Thunderstruck gave me goosebumps. Haven't been this excited about Axl's vocals since mid 2010. Hope he brings this to GN'R along with some songs that fit his performances with AC/CD. I'm really hoping for Locomotive and Perfect Crime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverburst80 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I still really like that pro shot Rock or bust from the first show, might not be the most technical song but talk about execution well there hasn't been a public execution that jaw dropping since Stannis Baratheon burned his own daughter alive.

Smokin' Cigarettes Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Great performance for sure but we've gotten to a point where everytime Axl has a good show we call it his 'new best performance' ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightrain at Download '06 is my personal favourite; the way he hits the (what I believe to be) penultimate 'never to return' I believe I've only heard as good on AFD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFGnR Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Sometimes he gets caught in his raspless middle voice and can sound a little thin and whiny, but for the most part he's been great. I've yet to hear the thunderous rasp throughout TIL or DC like in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
