estranged_85 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Mickey to me is not the same as using clean voice. It's a weak voice because of wrong breathing and bad stamina. I mean he uses for example a really powerful clean voice in "TWAT" during 2006 shows. This is just my opinion and guessing.. And i don't think you can compare ACDC songs to GN'R songs.. It takes alot of control singing most of GN'R songs.. and lots of lyrics.. But i think the problem with mickey voice is lack of cardio/stamina/breathing.

But yeah, I see more effort and more motivation than his solo years, that's an improvement I guess. Guess we'll have to accept Axl will sing this way until he retires, unfortunately. I think Axl sounds fairly good recently. I will gladly accept Axl singing this way until he retires personally. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFGnR Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 We have a situation now where Axl sounds great on some songs and not so good on others. Even different parts of the same song he can sing good or bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un42nutzly Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I think the issue is less rasp vs clean but singing from gut vs singing from throat. People are expecting more POWER from Axl, which if you think about it, he uses in vital parts of the songs. I think he balances it out well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just more Mickey. Been listening to You're Crazy and Breakdown a lot recently, and the contrast to present is quite sad. Would love to hear him do growls and wails but of course he can't. He can belt out some good screams, but the growls are gone forever and never heard again. Too fucking bad. ? Listen to u could be mine in kansas city mo,towards the middle thru the end he growls like the album, looks like hes about to pass out but it's definitely not full rasp like 1 time in 2010, but the growls and belts are better imo it's better as a whole for me,to me '10 was rasp but not much push or power,aka belting,but I may be misunderstanding you.... but hes doing great non the less, ...I share the link -2:25 on is were he starts getting with it for me Edited August 5, 2016 by DoubleTalkinJive: AJ Misspellings, and clarification 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when he was really feeling a song or was just really angry he would do all those little growls and/or howls without effort. But now I don't think we could ever hear WTTJ with the growly howl that you hear on the album when the song starts. Those kind of noises are gone. That spot on the video you posted was close but obviously he can't do that with ease anymore. But that's understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take 2016 Axl every day but maybe not some of the Axl's we have heard in recent years past.. I always thought Myles did a good SCOM too The acoustic ones are money! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 2010 was his best vocals since 1993, it's not even close with today. But today he is still better than what's been going on during the autopilot years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching this performance about 3/4s through made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, so that's good enough a gauge for me!

Damn autocorrect..spelled Myles name wrong in my previous post. Anyway, I've got nothing against the guy. He seems like a nice dude although in my opinion he sounds like there's a frog stuck in his throat when he songs. I haven't heard the acoustic SCOM with Myles..will have to check that out. Perhaps I will come away with a greater appreciation of his vocals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Quote Did it take a reunion to lose Mickey & get back the rasp?? No, it took Angus Young to get his rasp back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFGnR Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Will Axl bring the thunderous rasp for Axl/DC like Seville and Marseille etc, or sing with a cleaner voice to begin with on the next leg of their tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will sound just like he did before with AC/DC. Maybe even slightly better considering that his GNR voice has improved a little bit during this tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
