Blackstar Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 He sounds a bit better in this good quality recording than in the other one that was posted yesterday: This may be indicating of the difference between what people hear live and what we hear on the videos. Of course when we don't hear rasp it's simply because there isn't any or much, but probably the recordings can't capture the volume of his clean voice and it comes out as mickey.

Popular Post alstonuk Posted June 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2017 I thought last night was incredible. Axl sounded great from where I was standing, although there was a bit of a struggle on Coma and November Rain. People can complain all they want, but it looked to me that for the first time in years he is enjoying himself and that's surely the most important thing. Treasure these moments, you'll miss them when they're gone. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mustard Tiger Posted June 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2017 I was at the gig. It's true, he sounds so much better in the flesh. The only song I really noticed a struggle on was Coma, and to be fair the whole song was a mess, not just Axl. I went in with a very critical mindset having watched periscope streams and YouTube videos of the whole tour so far, but I was blown away. Civil War was absolutely off the scale, definitely the stand out track for me. Don't get hung up on shitty quality videos, go see the band and have a fucking good time. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason he sounds better live is because its being blasted loudly in to your ears. Not because cameras are unable to "capture" the sound. If that would be the case, then he would've sounded amazing on the Appetite for Democracy Blu ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zurimor Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The sound probably also depends on your computer setup, I use an older Creative soundcard (SB X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro) with some decent software to adjust stuff like bass level/frequencies, dynamics, effects and such. I also sometimes use DFX Enhancer. Those 2 things alone can enhance sound a lot if applied correctly (or make it a lot worse ) compared to onboard sound. If you use just the standard preset sound options, stuff which actually isn't that bad can sound awful (at least from my experience). Btw, didn't we agreee not to discuss Axl's voice in these threads anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustard Tiger Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Yesterday's was actually one of the stand out tracks last night. When you are there, and it's in your face, rasp is the last fucking thing you care about. The whole crowd sang along, everyone was fucking loving it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Heff Posted June 18, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2017 The debate about Axl's vocals will always rumble on... but what I don't understand is why people's expectations are so high. What do people expect him to sound like? He had plenty of terrible performances back in the day which were probably masked a little by the energy of the performance and the overall power of an angry 20-odd year old maniac's voice. This is a guy who in his mid fifties gets up there and belts out tunes for nearly 3 hours. In my mind it's nothing short of phenomenal. If people want note perfect vocals just listen to a CD. It's a live rock n roll show and is never going to sound perfect. From where I was standing Axl sounded amazing 90% of the time, which considering his age, the heat, length of the set etc. is good enough for me. Someone in their 50's is never going to sound like they did in their 20's doing these types of songs. I was most surprised by his efforts on Civil War, OTGM and especially You Could be Mine which i thought were all solid. If anything, some of Slash's solos were a bit shoddy I thought but you don't really give a fuck when you're enjoying the show. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look how he sang whole lotta rossie in GnR concert, and how he sang it with ACDC. That example sums it all up . HE DOESNT CARE about sounding good. HE IS capable of it, ,this isnt about age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This explains the amazing AC/DC vocals from Axl then, because that band are about twice as loud as GnR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 And like that Appetite for Democracy Blu ray don't you think if Axl could of sing like 2010 for it he would of. I just cant see how he could perform in front of all the people and only give it 80% you just couldn't do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
