marunic Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) After listening to a lot of 2006, i can't help but feel 2006 Axl was a treat to hear and dare i say better then himself in the 90s. In the 90s, I feel he added way too much rasp to every song, while some songs sounded sick with the extra rasp some didn't make sense (sweet child). I've been listening to so much 2006 Axl that i don't even remember him being this good. The power and cleanness in his voice in the KOHD clip is actually amazing. I love 90s Axl but 2006 is above the 90s. Its a shame his voice sounds like a mix of madonna and an average british grandma nowadays. Axl Ranking: 1) 80s 2) 2006 3)90s/2010 bonus points for anyone who can tell me where to get that jacket from in KOHD rock am ring Edited September 10, 2016 by marunic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerInThisTown Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 IMHO 2010 was even better than 2006. Both arent as good as 80s, but better than 90s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdave Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I'm not sure if I agree 100% that 06 Axl was better than 90s Axl, but yes Axl was definitely in top notch shape in 2006. In my opinion as the 2002 tour collapsed, Axl had something to prove in 2006 as Slash had become successful again with VR in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also say that he had nights In 2010 where his voice was every bit as good as the 80's and 90's. Some nights maybe even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marunic Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Thing that makes me sad is how bad axl is nowadays, if he could pull off 06 again, this reunion would of been top notch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stella Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Axl's had performances from all eras where he's been really hot and others where he's been really off...on the Illusions tour there were some really brilliant moments. Having said that I think it's a shame things couldn't have kept going in 2006-07 because the dude was so completely on top of it. Focused, on fire, in great voice.

Hes just bad on a certain few songs like YCBM for example. Still kills most of the setlist. Especially if you compare it to what we got the years before this I dont actually like his 2006 look. I think he looks way better in 2016. Just a bit longer hair and you could say thats 90s Axl Edited September 10, 2016 by StrangerInThisTown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneTempleRoses Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 That rock am ring knocking video is legendary probably one of my favorite GNR vids period. It's Wembley Knockin good. Those are the 2 definitive performances of that song for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) That version of Heaven's door really doesn't feel like 8 and a half minutes! the last couple of years versions, including the current feel much, much longer. Turned into a real snoozer, while this version is absolutely killer. Axl sounds probably better than ever and the band are so fucking good here. Also, Axl isn't 2006 good.... but! he is singing his ass off! he is WAY more consistent these days than he was from 2009-2014 (less off nights, better breathing, Stronger mid range, raspier). I can't remember any period since 2006 that Axl was more consistent. Edited September 10, 2016 by Tom2112 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Doer Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 2006 worcester ma was the worst guns show i've ever been to. not necessarily axl's fault, but major sound problems from start to finish. i've seen him in 93, 02, 06, 11, 12, and 16 and 06 was by far the worst show.

Dublin 2006 was by far the best Guns show, at least from a vocal point of view. Only seen them 3 three times but 2006 was the best vocally, even better than 2010 where he sat on his arse for the majority of the show... and sang pretty damn well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner55 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hard call. 06 is when I started getting into Guns really heavy so that'd what I had. I thought he sounded great and looked badass. I feel he sounded much better in 2010 but hated the hats and silver jackets. 06 also had some sort of mystique to it. With CD coming out or not coming out but they were actually touring. I enjoyed that time period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
