Dean Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I'd actually really enjoyed the show. Axl wasn't at his best at Slane, which is expected after months out of touring, but now that they've played several shows, you could tell his voice has improved as a result. Obviously some of the stuff wasn't as strong as what it could be, but for the most part I thought he was spot on. Raging that he burst into happy birthday for that old trout in Buckingham Palace though. The only way he will redeem himself is if he covers something by the Wolfetones at one of the gigs on the tour, as he missed his chance in Ireland. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWINGTRADER Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) So what people are saying is that Axl was really good in the first London show, but not his 2nd? I haven't visited this site in a few days and I am trying to catch up. Edited June 18, 2017 by SWINGTRADER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there both nights and thought he sounded fine. Don't listen to the bitching. If the people at the shows enjoy it, that's all matters. They're the ones who bought the tickets, not people watching online. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those vocals are killing his spirit...he's like "I could have stayed with Myles if I wanted to hear this shit" then near the end he realized how much money he's making and said "eh it will only sound bad on YouTube" 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did before the song. I was there and must say it's 100% true that he sounds much better in person. As a person who has spent years on this board and watching YouTube clips... his energy and voice in person was far superior to my expectations. If you haven't seen them live... go they really put on a hell of a show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carburetta Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I may be mistaken but I'm not sure Axl specifically mentioned Grenfell tower, or even a specific terrorist attack, I was there and heard something like "for all the people who have died recently", there was something after that though which I didn't catch.

The best part about Axl singing that though was people around me started singing the chorus to World In Motion randomly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned Greenfell and London Bridge specifically before the song. after this song or another he also dedicated one to his dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can't call him a troll for that. I don't think it's any great mystery, the discrepancy between live and recorded: the difference is you're listening to weak, half-arsed falsetto at enormous volume through an Earth-shaking PA instead of your little computer speakers. Interesting post. To expand on it: I anticipate news next month given that Adler is the bellwether (as he was post-Trunk until the moment he stormed the stage in Cincy bringing the party feel to his songs), but these singer’s voice manifestos are insufferable as I check-in to confirm that Adler hasn’t made a peep. Posters’ revisionism about the singer's voice appear to originate from the vacuous who never saw the original band, yet rave about how he sounded live post-’91 when that’s chainsaw hoarseness. And it’s revisionism—he didn’t sound that way on AFD (thank God). The singer was always the weakest link live. When I saw the band in ’88, his vocals sounded close enough to the recordings. But by the second time I saw the band in ’91 (before UYI), he sounded awful—screaming hoarseness. At that time, however, he had a genuine rock stage presence (this was before his two-decade assholery of fan disrespect and corresponding free-fall into irrelevance in America) to compensate. Adler’s fourth replacement has all the feel of Elephant Man on the kit and bludgeons through iconic songs like PC as if he were hitting the crack stem in the sleeper of his rig searching for his skull cap. It’s no wonder the singer has to resort to a Barry Gibb falsetto to squeak out the lyrics to PC at the meth-like tempo Adler’s fourth replacement lays down. The singer is no one-take, Elvis natural—he recorded his vocals line-by-line on the iconic AFD. And he is now grandfather age. And yet, his vocals on OTGM with Adler last summer sounded closer to the recording than the second time that I saw the band in ’91. Not bad at all, for an old man who recorded the vocals three decades ago line-by-line. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
